Most people don’t realise that baseball caps only protect a small part of the face -leaving the ears, cheeks, neck and scalp exposed to harmful UV. Australian guidelines do not recommend caps for sun protection for this reason.
With 95–99% of skin cancers caused by UV exposure, choosing a wide-brim, bucket or legionnaire hat makes a real difference.
Protect your whole head, not just your forehead.🧡🖤
When it comes to skin checks, training matters. Anyone can check your skin, but not everyone is trained to understand what they’re looking at, and how exactly to treat it. Make sure you can trust the quality of your skin check provider, look for an accredited skin cancer doctor locally at www.skincancercollege.org 🧡🖤
At The Skin Cancer Centre Coogee, we’re committed to providing thorough, compassionate care and empowering our patients to make their skin health a priority. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Summer is the perfect time to prioritise your skin health. With longer days, stronger UV levels, and more time spent outdoors, our skin is exposed to significantly higher sun damage, often without us realising it. A professional skin check can detect concerns early, when they’re easiest to treat, giving you peace of mind so you can enjoy the season safely.Whether you’ve noticed a new spot, a changing mole, or simply haven’t had a check in a while, make this summer the moment you put your skin first. Your future self will thank you.🧡🖤

Australia’s high UV index means sun protection isn’t just a recommendation-it’s essential. UV damage is cumulative and can occur even on cloudy days, so building strong sun-safe habits is one of the most effective ways to reduce your risk of skin cancer and protect your long-term health. Whether you’re at the beach, outdoors for work, or just walking between errands, following Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide every day makes a real difference. Your skin, and your eyes will thank you. Stay sun safe, Australia! 🇦🇺 🧡🖤

Your eyes are just as vulnerable to UV damage as your skin, yet they’re often the part we forget to protect. Long-term exposure to UV radiation can accelerate ageing of the eye and increase the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and even ocular melanoma, a rare but serious form of skin cancer.
Wearing high quality sunglasses with UV400 protection, a broad-brimmed hat, and avoiding peak UV times can dramatically reduce your risk. Taking simple sun-safe steps now helps protect your vision and your long-term eye health for years to come.
Stay sun-safe and look after your eyes! 🧡🖤

Did you know? Just one episode of blistering sunburn during childhood can double your risk of developing melanoma later in life. Protecting young skin from harmful UV rays is crucial- wear sunscreen, seek shade, and cover up to keep your family safe.

Is expired sunscreen better than no sunscreen? We’ve all been there- ready for a day outdoors, only to realise your sunscreen is past its expiry date. So, is expired sunscreen better than none at all?Only if you have no other option- but it’s not recommended.
Once sunscreen passes its expiry date, the active UV filters can break down, meaning it may no longer provide the SPF protection stated on the label.
In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) requires all sunscreens to display a use-by or expiry date, as protection can decline over time or when exposed to heat.
If you’re caught without a new bottle, using one that’s only slightly out of date and still looks, smells and feels normal is better than nothing, but it should be replaced as soon as possible.
🚫 Avoid using sunscreen that:
Is well past its expiry date
Has changed in colour, texture or smell
Has been stored in heat (for example, in a car or beach bag)
✅ Best practice:
Store sunscreen below 30°C
Apply 20 minutes before sun exposure
Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming/sweating
Replace your bottle each summer for reliable protection
Your skin deserves the best protection every day. 🧡🖤
If you have concerns about sun damage or changing spots, book a comprehensive full skin check with our experienced team at The Skin Cancer Centre Coogee.

Introducing WA’s first MetaOptima 3D Total Body Photography system.
We’re excited to share that The Skin Cancer Centre Coogee is the first clinic in Western Australia to offer the latest MetaOptima 3D Total Body Photography (TBP) system - freshly installed this week!
How It Works:
·Comprehensive coverage: A detailed baseline image of your entire skin surface is created, helping us accurately track any changes.
·AI-assisted monitoring: Each follow-up image is compared with your baseline using AI-driven analysis, helping to spot even subtle changes that may be missed by the naked eye.
·Doctor-led assessment: Our experienced skin cancer doctors review and interpret every result to ensure precise, personalised care.
Why It Matters:
· Early Detection: Early diagnosis saves lives. TBP helps identify melanoma and other skin cancers at their earliest, most treatable stages.
· Peace of Mind: Ideal for those with a personal or family history of skin cancer providing reassurance that your skin is being carefully monitored.
Please note: Total Body Photography complements your regular skin checks- it doesn’t replace them. Together, they provide the most comprehensive skin surveillance available.
It is highly recommended for patients with multiple moles, atypical naevi, previous melanoma or family history of melanoma and those with high sun exposure.
Book your appointment today and experience the future of skin cancer detection with WA’s first MetaOptima 3D TBP system.🧡🖤

Internationally and in Australia, about 10% of melanoma patients report a first-degree relative with melanoma. High‑risk individuals in Australia include those with two or more close relatives with melanoma. Other Key Risk Factors include: Fair skin that burns easily, history of blistering sunburns (especially childhood), and numerous or atypical (dysplastic) moles, weakened immune system (due to disease or medication), age, and being male further increase the risk in Australia
If you have a family history of melanoma, talk to your skin cancer doctor about regular full-body skin checks and preventative care. While we recommend annual skin checks, if you notice any new or evolving moles, please don’t hesitate to make an appointment with us for a spot check! Early detection saves lives.

Sun-damaged skin isn’t just cosmetic, it can increase your skin cancer risk.
The good news? You can protect and repair your skin.
Prevention: Slip, slop, slap, seek & slide – and use SPF 30+ every day when UV ≥ 3.
Treatment: For existing sun damage, Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a great option. It treats sunspots and surrounding damaged skin, lowers the chance of new spots forming, and can leave your skin looking and feeling healthier. Book your full-body skin check today and ask your doctor if PDT is right for you. 🧡🖤
