Skin checks, Surgical, Medical and Cosmetic Skin Treatments our service is led by Dr Giri Raj New Zealand trained (FRACP) Dermatologist and a team of highly skilled registered nurses.

We have a beautiful but very hot climate in New Zealand during summer. 
As much as we love to stay outdoors, we are also at risk of developing skin cancer if we’re not well shaded. 
If you are concerned about a mole that has developed, you should have it checked out. 
We examine skin for both cancerous and non-cancerous moles that could lead to melanoma. 

Skin Cancer Checks

It is very important to avoid the risk of the development of invasive skin cancer. Often lesions that do not appear dangerous to the untrained eye, may actually be dangerous and invasive and need urgent assessment and treatment.

Our aim is to make you as comfortable as possible when having a skin check. Regardless of the examination, we know that patients may feel as if a skin check could be a little intrusive, which is why we take all measures to ensure you are at ease with the process. With an experienced and dedicated team, we know the importance of skin care and are happy to answer any concerns you may have. 

Mole Checks

Regular checks of moles are important to avoid the progression of a mole to melanoma.

Skin Cancer Surgery

All of our skin cancer surgery is done under local anaesthesia and you will be home on the same day. Most skin excisions typically take 45 minutes to an hour.

Skin Cancer Treatments

We provide a range of skin cancer treatments, from cryotherapy, to creams, to simple skin excisions to complex skin excisions requiring a flap or a graft for closure. Your dermatologist shall thoroughly assess your skin and recommend the best treatment option for you.

Skin Cancer Removal

People that are diagnosed with skin cancer early , have a greater success of it being fully removed and completely 
cured.

Melanoma Checks

Melanoma is usually asymptomatic until it has irreversibly spread. We therefore recommend skin checks from a dermatologist regularly to avoid this risk.

Acne

Acne can start as small comedones, pimples or lumps under the skin, that can become sore, red, pustular and disfiguring. We recommend early assessment and treatment to prevent progression and scarring. We have multimodal specialist treatment plans available including non invasive peels, lasers, LED light and medical treatment. Your consultation with our dermatologist led medical team will help formulate the best treatment for your skin to achieve the best results in minimal time.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy or liquid nitrogen can be used to treat many surface skin conditions including warts and some early skin cancers. Treatment is fast and instantaneous.

Appearance Medicine

New state of the art peels.


Our Mandelic Acid Peel is our mildest gentle peel. It can improve skin ageing, remove superficial pigmentations, refine the skin improving skin texture, firmness and brightness and reduces open pores. It actively renews the epidermis and evens the skin tone. 


Glycolic acid Peel gently promotes epidermal cell turn over to renew and rejuvenate skin layers. Balances the skin moisture levels and improves its texture by improving the skin barrier function. 


TCA Peel is a trichloroacetic acid peel that penetrates deeper. It is used to treat mild to moderate photoaging. Attenuates fine lines and wrinkles, boosts skin glow, skin health and appearance. 


Sensitive peel, Specific chemical peel for sensitive skin that promotes the regeneration and strengthening of the skin barrier, reducing skin reactivity to external irritants.

What are exosomes? They’re biologically active messengers derived from stem cells.They aren’t cells themselves, they carry important information and nutrients that help your skin cells communicate and repair more efficiently which leaves your skin healthier, smoother, and glowing!
