Dermatology Notice

Our books are closed for most medical dermatology and skin checks due to a lack of doctors. However, we are still accepting GP urgent referrals for skin cancer and some other skin disorders.
 

Skin Cancer, Mohs Surgery & Melanoma

New Zealand has the highest skin cancer rate in the world. Skin cancer is even more common than all other cancers combined. The most important risk factor for skin cancer is UV radiation from the sun, but there are also other factors such as genetic susceptibility and use of certain medications. Some skin cancers are more aggressive than others so it is essential to get a correct diagnosis.

Available procedures & treatments from KM Surgical:


Mole & Lesion Management

Abnormal or unsightly moles and other skin lesions can be treated by our dermatologists in a number of ways ensuring best outcomes with accurate diagnosis.

Mohs Surgery

Mohs micrographic surgery, or Mohs surgery, is a precise surgical technique in which the complete excision of skin cancer is checked by microscopic margin control.

Cosmetic/Surgical Excision

Cosmetic surgical excision is aimed at completely removing or improving a skin lesion. Many different options are available to a cosmetic dermatologist to achieve optimal results where a practical and aesthetic due is essential.
