About the Skin Institute

Our Services

The incidence of skin cancer is extremely high in New Zealand with two out of three people being affected with melanoma or skin cancer in their lifetime. We provide a comprehensive and seamless service for all types of skin cancers. Our ‘Free Spot Check’ service (for 1-2 moles of concern) has been offered for a number of years to encourage awareness of skin cancer and the importance of having suspicious moles checked regularly.

We also perform Mohs Micrographic Surgery, the most advanced and sophisticated method of treating skin cancer on the face. This method achieves cure rates that are higher than any other technique.

We use the latest advanced technology for treating all types of veins including micro-sclerotherapy, ultrasound guided sclerotherapy (UGS), endovenous laser treatment (EVLA) and varicose vein surgery. Our experienced team includes sonographers, physicians and specialist vein surgeons.

We also have a particular focus on all aspects of ‘appearance’, from facial rejuvenation treatments to cosmetic surgery. Our team of experienced registered nurses perform a comprehensive range of rejuvenation procedures including medical grade Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), Botox® (Botulinum Toxin), Fillers, Peels, Microhydrabrasion and Dermal Rolling. We also lead the way with innovative procedures in appearance medicine including Thread Lifts, Platysmaplasty (neck lift), Platelet Rich Plasma and Fat Transfer (grafting).

Our Medical Specialists perform procedures including Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), Otoplasty (ear surgery), Rhinoplasty (nose surgery), facelifts and High Definition LipoSelection®.
 

Affiliated Provider to Southern Cross

We are covered by all major health insurance companies and are an Affiliated Provider to Southern Cross Health Society for contracted skin cancer and vein treatments where medical necessity criteria apply. Essentially, this means that Southern Cross members can visit one of our 16 clinics* nationwide, without referral to have their veins or a suspected skin cancer assessed. Should they require further treatment, we will assist with a prior approval request and the claims process, directly with Southern Cross Health Society.
