At Skintel, we really excel at detecting the earliest, most subtle signs of skin cancer. We routinely pick up skin cancers that are often missed, in some cases merely days later.
When we discover early pre-cancerous lesions we don’t just wait for these lesions to progress into cancers requiring surgery. We do our best to treat these early changes with minimally invasive simple treatments to try and avoid the need for expensive and invasive surgery later on.
We are constantly keeping up to date with leading-edge medical research on treatments that may reduce or slow down the development of skin cancer.
