Be Proactive About Your Health With A Regular Skin Scan
A full-body skin check service to give you a sense of security regarding your skin cancer risk
Protect Your Skin Health With A Comprehensive Skin Cancer Check
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world because of UV radiation, yet many people aged 18 and older choose not to receive a regular skin cancer screening. Due to this, most skin cancers can go undiagnosed, especially in the early stages. Without early skin cancer detection, skin cancer treatment becomes more difficult and may lead to other serious consequences.
Avatar Imaging is passionate about providing you with entire body skin cancer checks to avoid potential skin cancers going undiagnosed before it’s too late. If you are concerned about suspicious moles or any risk of skin cancer, get in touch to book a full-body scan for skin cancer today.
How is Avatar Imaging’s skin cancer scan different from another skin cancer clinic?
Avatar Imaging’s skin cancer scan differs from other clinics through our advanced technology and patient-centric approach. Our clinic employs a state-of-the-art 3D skin cancer body scanner, offering detailed and scalable imagery to assess visible lesions thoroughly for developing skin cancer. We also utilise a high-resolution digital dermatoscope with 15–200x magnification and both polarised and non-polarised imaging to ensure comprehensive evaluation and tracking of skin lesions.
We also prioritise patient comfort and personalised service. While clinics may have large waiting rooms and conveyor belt-style service, Avatar Imaging offers a more intimate and efficient experience with no long waiting times. As our patient, you will have full control over your images and reports, allowing you to keep on top of your health and potential skin cancer risk.
Our advanced skin cancer check detects all types of skin cancers
The spot check technology at Avatar Imaging is not specific to the early detection of one type of skin cancer but rather analyses suspicious spots for the three main types: Melanoma, Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Melanoma
Melanoma is the most rare type of skin cancer, however, it is also the most severe. Melanoma normally appears on your body as a suspicious mole or skin lesion. This type of skin cancer is more common in those with light hair, and light skin than in those with dark skin. Even if you have these characteristics, you will still need full-body skin cancer checks if you have a history of skin cancer.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Squamous Cell Carcinoma originates in the squamous skin cells in the outer layer of the skin. It is the second most common type of skin cancer. Like melanoma, people with light hair and skin are most likely to be diagnosed with this type of skin cancer. Older individuals are also more susceptible to this skin cancer, as well as those with a weakened immune system.
Basal Cell Carcinoma
Basal Cell Carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer that starts in the lower part of the skin’s outer layer. It is the least dangerous type of skin cancer and mostly only stays in one spot on your skin. This cancer normally occurs in those who have had excessive sun exposure, a family history of skin cancer, or in older individuals.
