Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the type, size, and stage of skin cancer. Our options include:
- Surgical Excision – Removal of cancerous tissue under local anaesthetic
- Cryosurgery – Freezing precancerous or superficial lesions
- Topical Therapies – Creams or gels for early-stage skin cancer
- Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) – Light-activated treatment for specific cases
- Mohs Surgery (available via referral) – Precise removal of complex or recurring cancers
All treatments are tailored to your skin type, cancer type, and cosmetic concerns.

You can self fund treatment, or pay through your medical insurance:
For those with an insurance policy which covers gastroscopy (many do).
