With Australia recording one of the highest rates of skin cancer globally, early detection remains one of the most powerful tools in preventing serious outcomes. At SunDoctors Booval, the message is simple – your skin health begins with a check.
Located in the heart of Booval, the clinic offers comprehensive skin checks and expert treatment in a welcoming, professional environment.
Whether it’s a routine check or a concern about a specific spot, SunDoctors is equipped with the latest technology and medical expertise to provide fast, accurate care.
Patient Relationship Manager Loretta Coral said it was time more people understood just how quick and worthwhile a skin check can be.
“For the amount of time it takes to have your skin checked, it’s absolutely worth it,” she said.
“We’re not only seeing 70-year-olds coming in with skin cancer. There’s been a noticeable shift in demographics – we’re starting to see much younger people coming through the door.”
She explained that there was no age limit or minimum when it came to being proactive about skin health.
“We often say to people that if you see something that looks abnormal, a little suspicious, or something that’s changed in colour, shape or size – have it checked,” she said.
“We’re happy to see anyone of any age because these things can change quickly.”
SunDoctors offers full-body, non-invasive skin checks, where experienced doctors use a dermatoscope to examine the skin closely and identify any suspicious spots for further monitoring.
“If the doctor notices something, they’re keeping an eye on it and monitor that area more closely,” Ms Coral said.
“We suggest having a skin check every 12 months, but in some cases, we tailor that to the individual’s needs.”
The clinic offers a full range of onsite services, from biopsies to minor surgical removals, which means patients don’t need to wait for specialist referrals.
Even better, SunDoctors Booval is a mixed billing practice offering discounted/ bulk billed skin checks with a valid pension card, making vital care accessible to more people in the community.
With no long waiting times and fast access to treatment, SunDoctors makes prioritising your skin health simple and stress-free. Best of all, no referral is needed – just book directly for peace of mind.
Whether you’re someone who works outdoors, has fair skin, a family history of skin cancer, or simply enjoys the Queensland sunshine, regular skin checks are a vital part of staying healthy.
SunDoctors Booval is located at 161 Brisbane Rd, Booval, and open Monday to Friday.
