Mohs Micrographic SurgeryThe Gold Coast’s Only Dermatologist to perform Mohs Surgery
Named for its inventor, Dr Frederick Mohs, it was first established in the 1930s but has only been widely practiced since the 1960s, when the process was modernised by Dr Perry Robins of New York. Mohs Micrographic Surgery is considered the gold standard in the treatment of certain skin cancers including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell.
Mohs surgery is designed to help achieve the best cosmetic outcome for patients having cancerous lesions removed. This same-day procedure helps to minimise scarring and ensure all cancerous are removed in one surgical session.
Dr Andrew Freeman is the only Dermatologist qualified to perform Mohs Micrographic Surgery on the Gold Coast and does weekly outpatient procedures at Pacific Private Hospital on the Gold Coast. You can watch our Mohs Explainer video by clicking the link below.
Warning: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Acne Your dedicated source for Acne support
Acne can affect anyone at any age. While it’s most common in teenagers, adult acne is also common, and it can affect confidence and skin health well beyond adolescence. Because acne has different causes and presents differently from person to person, there’s no single treatment that suits everyone.
At The Skin Centre, the Dermatologists assess acne as a medical concern, looking at the type and cause before discussing which approaches may be appropriate. Depending on your assessment, management may range from topical and medical treatments through to in-clinic options. What may help is determined at your consultation.
Scar & Cosmetic complications clinic Sometimes a little more attention is required.
Scars come in many forms and are the consequence of number of different conditions, for instance acne, accidental trauma or from the removal of a skin cancer. Certain skin types and ethnicities are more prone to scarring and the approach to treatment must be carefully designed to prevent further damage. From white to dark, depressed to raised, scars can be itchy or just cosmetically displeasing. The Skin Centre has many treatment options available, and the know how, to treat your scar concerns.
Furthermore, as trends in aesthetics change, requests for revision of previous cosmetic procedures have increased. Your practitioner is here to help you address any cosmetic misadventures.
If you would like to discuss how the practitioners that consult from The Skin Centre can help you reduce the appearance of scarring or address non-surgical cosmetic procedure complications, please call or email us to book an appointment today.
Hair Loss Addressing all your hair loss concerns
Hair is important to both men and women and the loss of it can be extremely upsetting. Whilst there are some forms of hair loss that are temporary and will recover without treatment, others are progressive and would benefit from treatment sooner rather than later.
Along with skin and nails, dermatologists are experts in hair. The practitioners we support understand how frightening it must be to experience excessive hair shed or to see a receding hair line whilst waiting for an appointment with a doctor. The practitioners consulting from The Skin Centre we have established a specialist hair clinic to deal with such issues as quickly as they can.
