Skin cancer is far too common in Australia, which is why it is critically important for everyone to schedule regular skin checks each year. ☀️

At The Layt Clinic, skin cancer removal and treatment is a special focus and we offer a variety of advanced procedures designed to remove benign or malignant growths.

This is your reminder to book in your skin check as early treatment can be a critical step to minimise the risk of further harm, as well as to reduce the extent of the effects that removal may have on the skin’s appearance.

Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that involves repositioning underlying tissues and removing excess skin in the face and neck.

This procedure may be considered for individuals concerned about changes in facial contours due to age or other factors.

The approach used, whether a mini facelift, deep plane technique, or combination with other procedures such as brow lift, blepharoplasty, or skin resurfacing, is determined during a personalised consultation based on your individual needs and goals.
