Why get a skin check in Christchurch?

New Zealand has the highest melanoma incidence and mortality rate in the world. Melanoma is one of the most common cancers here, yet most people delay getting checked until a spot has already changed. A regular professional skin check gives you the best chance of catching something early, when it is far easier to treat.

Your check is carried out by a highly qualified skin cancer clinical nurse specialist trained in dermoscopy, using a dermatoscope, a handheld microscope that reveals detail beneath the surface of the skin. You do not need a reason or a referral to book, peace of mind is reason enough.
