Did you know we offer Primary Care Dermatology Consultations?
At Shade Skin, we’re proud to offer more than just expert skin cancer detection and treatment. While regular skin checks remain at the heart of what we do, our highly skilled team is also here to help with a wide range of general dermatological concerns. Whether you’re dealing with a persistent skin condition, a sudden flare-up, or simply want professional guidance on maintaining healthy skin, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your needs.
Expert Care for Common Skin Conditions
Our specialist General Practitioners are experienced in diagnosing and managing many skin concerns in a primary care setting, including:
Acne – From occasional breakouts to severe, ongoing acne, we create personalised treatment plans to help you achieve clearer skin. Our approach often combines topical therapies, oral medications, and guidance on skincare routines.
Rosacea – We provide effective strategies to reduce redness, manage flushing, and minimise discomfort associated with rosacea.
Dermatitis and Eczema – Our doctors can help alleviate irritation, control flare-ups, and develop long-term management plans.
Melasma – We offer solutions to target hyperpigmentation and promote a more even skin tone, often in conjunction with advanced treatments available through our trusted referral network.
A Collaborative Approach to Your Care
At Shade Skin, we understand that skin conditions can vary greatly in complexity. Our doctors take the time to thoroughly assess your concerns, explain your diagnosis, and recommend the most appropriate management options. Most conditions can be treated directly at our clinic, but if your needs require further specialist intervention, we will coordinate a referral to a trusted dermatologist or allied health professional.
If advanced treatment is needed, such as PDT Therapy for certain precancerous lesions or laser and light-based therapies, we can also refer you to our sister clinic, Youth Lab. There, you’ll have access to a wide range of complementary treatments, including vascular and hybrid lasers, chemical peels, and cosmeceutical skincare. This ensures you have a seamless, coordinated care pathway from diagnosis through to treatment.
