Full body skin check in Carindale, thorough and onsite.
A full body skin check in Carindale includes a head-to-toe examination and a review of your moles and any spots of concern. Should something need treatment, biopsies and excisions are handled onsite in the same practice.
Brisbane sun and your skin
In Brisbane, the UV index reaches 3 or higher, the level where sun protection is recommended, for much of the year, including many winter days. That steady exposure adds up over a lifetime, which is why skin cancer is so common in Queensland. A thorough full body skin check, combined with good sun protection, is the best way to stay on top of it.
At Carindale Doctors, your full body skin check covers every area of your skin, with a dermatoscope used to examine moles and spots closely. We’ll also talk about sun protection that fits your lifestyle, whether you’re a gardener, golfer, cyclist or parent at weekend sport.
In short: Carindale Doctors offers thorough full body skin checks inside Westfield Carindale, with dermatoscope examination and practical sun protection advice for Brisbane’s high UV levels. Biopsies and excisions are handled onsite. Medicare rebates apply where eligible.
