Skin Medic is a private billing practice. Our fees vary depending on the service, examination, procedure or time required. These fees reflect the costs, time and skills required to sustain a quality service without government funding. We appreciate that there are patients or clients whose financial circumstances limit their ability to meet private fees, and we continue to provide an affordable service to enable everyone to access our clinic. Skin Medic also offer clients and patients a convenient way to pay for their health and skincare needs by offering access to Southern Cross Easy Claim, ZIP, Laybuy, Q Card, Afterpay, Eftpos, Credit Card Facilities and Online Payments.
What to Expect from Your Appointment
We are a private clinic and is not affiliated with any Group, PHO or DHB.
No referral is required from your GP, Nurse Practitioner or Registered Nurse.
Our main focus is on skin cancer, minor surgery, facial aesthetics and laser treatments. We are not a general dermatology specialist clinic and neither a cosmetic surgery clinic.
Our non-invasive aesthetic treatment goals are to achieve beautiful, subtle, and natural-looking results.
Unfortunately, we currently don't offer full body skin checks or full body mole mapping. For this, we recommend patients contact MoleMap New Zealand or their General Practitioner. Our focus is lesion directed dermoscopic examinations.
Also please note, we don't manage general skin conditions e.g. chronic leg ulcers, varicose veins, severe/adult acne, skin rashes, androgenic hair loss, nail diseases, atopic dermatitis, allergies or venereal diseases. For that we recommend seeing your GP or get a referral to a dermatology specialist.
Most non-cancerous skin conditions are readily diagnosed by a combination of clinical history and examination, but in a small number of cases, biopsy for histopathology and other laboratory investigations can be invaluable tools.
We do offer skin biopsies to help further the evaluation of non-cancerous skin lesions: when confirmation of a clinical diagnosis is required; in challenging cases where specific diagnosis is hampered by various clinical constraints; and in cases where the clinical presentation is atypical and raises problematic differential diagnostic considerations.
Lesion-Directed Dermoscopic Examination of (1-3 lesions)
Our Lesion-Directed Examination involves the dermoscopic assessment and imaging of 1-3 specific lesions of concern and formulation of a management plan to address your concerns.
Appointment takes about 20 min with an accredited skin cancer doctor and cryotherapy can be provided on the day.
No invasive treatments will be performed without prior consultation. This policy is consistent with our evidence-based practice guidelines.
Prescriptions and copies of the reports are provided at no additional cost.
If any lesions need to be removed, we'll arrange further management at a later date.
We will always contact you ahead of time to ensure you don't miss an appointment.
In those patients with a confirmed history of melanoma, we are able to offer post-treatment follow-up and long-term surveillance. This is performed by a registered skin cancer nurse in Levin and the final report is authorized by an accredited skin cancer doctor.
