Advanced Skin Checks with Dermengine Technology
Our experienced GPs carefully examine your skin for suspicious moles, lesions, or changes that could indicate skin cancer. With the risk of skin cancer being particularly high in Australia due to sun exposure, regular skin checks are essential for early detection and successful treatment.
We are proud to offer advanced skin cancer screening using Dermengine software, an innovative tool that enhances the accuracy of diagnoses. Dermengine allows our doctors to photograph and magnify individual moles and lesions up to 30 times, capturing precise images for analysis and comparison over time. These images are securely stored in your patient record, enabling us to monitor changes in your skin and detect abnormalities at the earliest stage.
Our mole mapping services use full body photography to document your skin comprehensively, ensuring any new or changing lesions are identified promptly. This state-of-the-art technology improves care planning and helps track your skin’s health with precision.

What to Expect During a Skin Cancer Screening
A typical skin cancer screening involves a detailed full body examination. Our GPs will visually assess your skin from head to toe, paying special attention to moles, lesions, and other areas of concern. Using a dermatoscope, we can examine your skin at a microscopic level to identify any irregularities.
If necessary, we may recommend a biopsy, excision, or referral to a dermatologist or skin cancer specialist for further evaluation and treatment. Additionally, our team provides practical education on sun safety and skin cancer prevention to help you maintain optimal skin health.
Preparing For Your Skin Check
To ensure a smooth and thorough screening process:
- Wear clothing that is easy to remove.
- Remove any makeup or nail polish before your appointment.
- Be prepared to discuss any skin changes, such as new moles, rough patches, or itchy areas.
- Share your medical history, including medications and family history of skin cancer, with your GP.
