At The Melanoma Centre, we offer Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) as a treatment option for sun-damaged skin and actinic keratoses.

PDT works by using a light-activated process to target and destroy damaged skin cells, while helping preserve surrounding healthy tissue.

It can be an effective option for managing widespread sun damage, particularly in areas frequently exposed to the sun.

Not sure if PDT is right for you? Speak with our friendly team at (07) 3846 0990 or book a consultation to learn more.

Skin cancer doesn’t only affect those with obvious risk factors.

Even if you don’t burn easily, spend limited time in the sun, or have no family history, you can still develop skin cancer. In Australia, high UV exposure means everyone is at risk.

Skin cancer often develops silently, without pain or obvious warning signs in the early stages.

✔️ Anyone can be affected
✔️ Early detection makes a difference
✔️ Regular skin checks are essential

Don’t assume you’re low risk. Book your your professional skin check with our team at (07) 3846 0990 or online.

Not all pigmentation is harmless.

While many spots are benign, some can be early signs of skin cancer, including melanoma. It can be difficult to tell the difference without a professional assessment.

If you’ve noticed:
• Uneven colour
• Irregular borders
• A spot that’s changing over time
..it’s worth having it checked.

Trust your instincts, if something doesn’t look or feel right, don’t ignore it.

It’s easy to dismiss small changes in your skin, but some of the earliest signs of skin cancer are often subtle.

Watch for:
• A new spot that appears suddenly
• A mole that looks different from others
• Changes in size, shape, or colour
• A spot that doesn’t heal or keeps coming back

These signs are often ignored, until they become more serious. Don’t wait and see. Early detection can make all the difference.

Skin cancer doesn’t always appear where you expect.

In women, melanomas are more commonly found on areas like the legs, face, and neck, places that are often exposed to the sun but not always checked closely.

It’s easy to miss spots in these areas, especially if they’re small or look harmless at first.

✔️ Check your legs, including the backs
✔️ Don’t forget your face and neck
✔️ Look for new or changing spots

If something looks different or doesn’t feel right, have it assessed.

After a summer of increased sun exposure, now is the time to check in on your skin.

For many women, changes in the skin can be subtle and easy to overlook, especially with busy schedules and competing priorities. But early detection of skin cancer, including melanoma, can make a significant difference in outcomes.

If you’ve noticed a new spot, a change in an existing mole, or simply haven’t had your skin checked in a while, it’s worth booking in.

Prioritise your health this season. Book your professional skin check with our team at (07) 3846 0990 or online.

April is the perfect time to check in on your skin.

After months of increased sun exposure over summer, changes in your skin may start to become more noticeable. It’s also a great time to assess any new or evolving spots before they progress further.

Even as the weather cools, UV exposure doesn’t disappear, and neither does your risk. Review your skin after summer and catch changes early.

Stay proactive about your skin health. Don’t wait until something feels serious.

Not all moles are harmless but knowing what to look for can help you spot potential skin cancers early.

Use the ABCDE rule as a guide:
A – Asymmetry: one half doesn’t match the other
B – Border: edges are irregular, uneven or blurred
C – Colour: multiple colours or uneven tone
D – Diameter: larger than 6mm or growing
E – Evolving: any change in size, shape, colour or feeling

If a spot stands out or changes, it’s worth getting checked.

As the seasons begin to change, it’s easy to forget about sun protection, but UV levels can still be high, even on cooler or overcast days.

Sun damage doesn’t stop when summer ends. Daily exposure still adds up and increases your risk of skin cancer over time.

✔️ Keep wearing SPF 50+ sunscreen
✔️ Cover up with hats and protective clothing
✔️ Stay sun smart all year round
