The philosophy of the Upper Hutt Skin Clinic is, “Repair the past, treat the present and protect the future,” and they back this up with their comprehensive range of services, including full skin examination and treatments. Summer has arrived early this year and we need to be vigilant in protecting our skin from the sun. Skin cancer is the most common cancer and New Zealand has the highest rates of melanoma in the world. Every New Zealander should be having regular skin checks.

The Upper Hutt Skin Clinic was established in 2010 and is located inside the Upper Hutt Health Centre on Sinclair St, just 25 minutes north of New Zealand’s capital city, Wellington, with a fully qualified and professional clinical team on hand to answer your concerns and advise on the best treatment options available to you. They will give you a full examination with Dermatoscopy and offer you quick access to a high quality, affordable treatment.

There has been a lot of coverage about sun screens, following testing by Consumer NZ, and Upper Hutt Skin Clinic stock  sun screen which they bring in from Australia, where testing is mandatory. The allmedic™ range of skincare products was developed by an award winning team of dermatologists and doctors (who practise in skin cancer, allergy and medical skin repair).

Recommended by doctors and dermatologists, allmedic™ offers a non-invasive topical treatment for conditions such as acne, aging skin and sun damaged skin, as well as a general skincare range, including an SPF 30+ spray on sun screen.

The Clinic want the message out there to be, ‘Sun exposure causes damage to skin cells which leads to skin cancer, and the damage occurs even before burning.’ New Zealand has high levels of dangerous UV radiation and high rates of skin cancer, with Kiwis spending many hours in the sun. Fair-skinned people burn very quickly, but everyone can get skin cancer!
