25.01.2022 Have you ever heard of a mole mapping device? One of the most effective tools for early detection of melanoma is Mole Mapping. As its name would suggest, Mole Mapping essentially maps a patients moles so any changes over time can be detected. To do this, the physician uses FotoFinder to take an accurate set of photos of the patients moles via the devices high-resolution camera, which in turn connects to a computer, transferring all photos directly the physicians datab...ase This provides the physician with highly accurate comparisons of moles from one visit to the next. This not only allows for tracking of changes to existing moles but also the start of new moles. Getting regular check-ups is of the highest priority for Australians, who are urged to get checked out least once a year, and any time a freckle, mole or skin blemish changes in size, colour, or feeling. When melanoma is detected early enough the recovery rate is 95%, because the cancer is removed before it spreads to any other part of the body, or enters the bloodstream See more

05.01.2022 Did you know we can treat skin cancer non-invasively? Being a state of the art service we are able to offer a variety of treatment plans to our patient using some of the high-end equipment. What is non -invasive treatment?... Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive technique that uses a combination of a photosensitising drug and a special form of light (such as a laser). How does it work? The photosensitising drug makes the skin cells more sensitive to light, which allows the light treatment to be more effective. Depending on the location of the affected area, the photosensitising drug is either applied to the skin or put into the bloodstream via a vein. The light activates the drug, which has been absorbed by the affected skin cells. Where can this be used? As a treatment, PDT can only be used on areas light can reach, such as the outer surface of the skin, and PDT can be an alternative to surgery for thin basal cell cancers, Bowen's disease and actinic keratosis For more information, you can book an appointment with our Doctors by calling us on 9305 3005 or using the link below https://www.hotdoc.com.au//currambine-mole-skin-ca/doctors
