Australia has the greatest epidemic of skin cancer in the world and Queensland has twice that of the other states. And it is increasing.

Early detection can result in a 100% cure and Australia leads the world in doing so.

In addition regular up-skilling via International Master-classes and workshops ensure the highest medical standards and latest advances. Laboratory pathology ensures that no unnecessary operations are done.
An initial consultation involves a head to toe examination. All suspicious lesions are biopsied taking a small-anaesthetized core sample, much like the lead out of a pencil. We pride ourselves on our ‘painless’ techniques providing significantly less painful local anesthetic than is usual and using the world’s smallest needles.
Biopsies are sent to independent laboratories who are acknowledged world leaders. You are then given these results. If an operation is needed you are also then given these results too, to again ensure its ‘complete excision’. All Operations are done in our own dedicated Operating Theatres, and not in the consulting rooms, to ensure the highest standards of hygiene for you. All Suture removals and dressings are done in a dedicated dressing room again ensuring maximization of hygiene.
Only the best equipment is used to ensure the best results. The Professor of Microsurgery actually kindly donated some of our equipment on his retirement. Other, most elegant equipment to maximize results, we have specially had to import from the USA.
Corporate Health is also one of our specialities. The staff at Molechex regularly visit the workplace so that large organisations can provide their staff with annual skin checks, especially appropriate for those working out in the field and, in some cases, to comply with OHS. To save your business time we come to your place of work with our assistants and necessary equipment.
A ‘Boast Book’ is available of our operations to reassure you should you need an operation.
- Please don’t wear heavy makeup if you wish to have your face examined
- If your work outdoors then please shower before your consultation as it is impossible to view suspicious lesions that are covered in grease, dirt or mud
