At Skin Cancer Gregory Hills, we provide comprehensive and expert care in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of skin cancer. All services are performed by experienced practitioners with a strong focus on patient safety, comfort, and optimal outcomes.
A full skin cancer check is a thorough examination of your entire skin surface from head to toe. This includes areas not typically exposed to sunlight such as the scalp, soles of the feet, and under the nails. At Skin Cancer Gregory Hills, we utilise advanced AI-assisted dermoscopy—state-of-the-art technology that supports early and accurate detection of suspicious lesions. This technology, combined with clinical expertise, ensures we identify potential skin cancers at their earliest and most treatable stage. Early detection significantly improves outcomes, making regular full skin checks an essential part of your health routine.
A wide local excision involves the surgical removal of skin cancer along with a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete clearance. This procedure is essential in preventing recurrence, especially for confirmed melanoma or high-risk non-melanoma skin cancers. Our experienced doctors use meticulous techniques to minimise scarring and optimise healing, particularly when removing lesions from cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face, neck, or décolletage.
In cases where skin cancer removal leaves a larger or more complex wound—especially on the face—a skin flap procedure may be required. A flap involves repositioning nearby healthy skin to cover the excision site, preserving function and aesthetic appearance. Dr Valente is highly skilled in advanced surgical techniques, including flaps, and performs these procedures with precision to ensure excellent cosmetic and functional results.
Cryotherapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy pre-cancerous lesions (like actinic keratoses) or superficial skin cancers. It’s a quick and effective option with minimal downtime. The treated area may blister or scab before healing, and we provide clear aftercare instructions to support optimal skin recovery.
When a lesion appears suspicious, a biopsy may be performed to determine if it is cancerous. This involves removing a small sample of tissue for laboratory analysis. Biopsies are a crucial diagnostic step in confirming skin cancer and determining the type and depth of the lesion. At our clinic, biopsies are conducted under local anaesthetic, with minimal discomfort and clear guidance on what to expect during recovery.
Curettage involves scraping away abnormal or cancerous cells from the surface of the skin, often followed by cauterisation. It is commonly used for certain types of superficial basal or squamous cell carcinomas. This treatment is fast, performed under local anaesthetic, and is particularly effective for well-defined lesions on the trunk or limbs.
A spot check is ideal if you’re concerned about a specific mole, lesion, or changing spot on your skin. These quick appointments focus on just one or two areas of concern and are perfect for those who’ve noticed something unusual between full skin checks. We also incorporate AI-driven dermoscopic imaging to help analyse the features of the lesion in detail, giving you fast, accurate peace of mind—or a timely referral for further treatment if needed.
