🔎 What happens at a skin check?

Many people put off booking because they’re unsure what to expect. Here’s a quick breakdown:

- A skin doctor will examine your skin from head to toe.
- Any concerning spots are checked with a dermatoscope (a special magnifying tool).
- If needed, the doctor may recommend monitoring, a biopsy, or removal.

✅ It’s quick, non-invasive, and can make a huge difference for your health.

Every day, 58 Australians are diagnosed with breast cancer, including both women and men. While survival rates have improved to 92% over the past 30 years, too many lives are still being lost.

At Brecken Health, we want to shine a light on the importance of early detection and regular screening:
✔️ Book your breast screen if you’re due
✔️ Know the signs and symptoms to look out for
✔️ Speak with your GP if you notice any changes

By taking action and raising awareness, we can all play a part in working towards a future with zero deaths from breast cancer.

📅 If you’re due for a check or have any concerns, book an appointment with your GP today.
