What is involved in a skin check?

Please book a 30 minute appointment with Dr Dinesh for your skin check.

The doctors ask that you not wear make up, nail polish, skin cream, or fake tan to your skin check appointment.

A skin check is normally a full body examination. With your consent, you will be asked to undress down to your underwear and provided with a gown to wear. The skin check will involve examination of your skin with a dermatoscope and may involve the use of digital photography to monitor any areas that require monitoring.

Your risk factors will be assessed and explained to you. Suspicious skin growths will be identified and surgically removed if neccesary. A plan of action will be advised by your doctor depending on your individual situation.

Fees

Initial skin checks with Dr Dinesh are $250 with a Medicare rebate of $84.90 as of July 1st 2025.

Any procedures needed as a result of your skin check will be charged based on what treatment is needed. Dr Dinesh will discuss likely costs with you at your appointment.
