At SkinMedics on Cohen Street, we are committed to providing the highest standard of preventative skin care. To help catch skin changes at their absolute earliest and most treatable stages, we proudly offer Optimascan—state-of-the-art 3D Total Body Photography.

When it comes to skin health, tracking subtle changes over time is everything. Optimascan takes the guesswork out of skin monitoring by creating a precise, high-resolution digital baseline of your skin.

What is Optimascan?

Optimascan is an advanced, AI-powered total body imaging system. In roughly one minute, the system captures a comprehensive series of standardized, high-resolution photographs to construct a detailed 3D digital map (or “avatar”) of your skin.

Instead of relying on memory or scattered notes from previous visits, your clinician uses this secure baseline to compare your moles and spots side-by-side at every subsequent skin check. This allows us to instantly spot new, growing, or evolving lesions that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Why Choose Total Body Photography?

  • Early Detection Saves Lives: Skin cancers—especially melanoma—are most successfully treated when caught early. Tracking changes across your entire body gives you the best defence.
  • No More Guesswork: Wondering “Has that mole always been there?” is a thing of the past. Your 3D map provides an objective, permanent historical record.
  • AI-Assisted Precision: The system works alongside your clinician’s expertise, utilizing intelligent software to flag new or changing spots between appointments.
  • Fast and Painless: The scanning process is entirely non-invasive, radiation-free, quick, and comfortable.

What to Expect During Your Visit

  1. The Scan (approx. 1 minute): You will step onto a private platform while the system quickly and uniformly captures your skin under optimal lighting. You remain fully comfortable, and your privacy is respected at all times.
  2. Clinical Review: Your practitioner reviews the high-resolution images in conjunction with your physical skin examination, integrating the technology seamlessly into your overall check-up.
  3. Ongoing Monitoring: Your secure 3D map is saved to your file, ready to be compared year-on-year to track your skin’s health dynamically.

Is Optimascan Right for You?

Total body photography is especially recommended if you:

  • Have a high mole count (more than 100 moles)
  • Have a personal or strong family history of melanoma
  • Have fair skin, atypical/unusual moles, or a history of severe sun exposure
  • Simply want peace of mind through the most thorough skin-monitoring technology available

Testimonials

I was sent to Dr Bezzina by my GP for a huge lipoma on my back, it was grapefruit sized. Dr Bezzina surgically removed it and I’m so impressed with the outcome, others told me it couldn’t be done without a general anaesthetic and for four times the cost! Dr Bezzina is not super cheap but well worth his expertise
I was referred by my gp to Dr Bezzina for skin cancer removal on my face. He did a great job and pain free. Looks really neat and Dr Bezzina is just a really friendly guy that loves to have a chat. Definitely would recommend him 🙂
I was referred to Dr Damien by my usual GP to remove a skin cancer the the side of my nose, Damien surgically removed it in what was a largely painless process. His bedside manner was fantastic and he has great nursing support. Now 6 weeks later and you can hardly tell I have a skin flap on my nose! So pleased! Thank you for your hard work!
Dr Bezzina performed minor surgery on me today for a skin lesion. I was very happy with his expertise, patient engagement, explanations when asked. I will become a regular client.
Nothing but magic! Put me at ease, excellent job and worth every $
Damien was very professional and friendly. He explained things very clearly and provided great advice. I’ll be back for my annual skin check.
Excellent advice. Very professional and easy to talk to. Recommended.
Bedside manner is wonderful, warm and knowledgeable. Left feeling enlightened. I had surgery for a skin cancer on my hand and I still can’t believe the result are so good! Thank you again, 100% recommend and I love the country music playing during the surgery!
Amazing, just amazing! Been to many ‘skin doctors’ around Canberra and my home state of QLD and Damien is by far the most proficient skin surgeon I’ve met! Diagnosed melanoma within the first couple mins of skin check when was check 2 weeks earlier by another skin Doctor and told was all good. Damien removed the melanoma within 7 days and healed beautifully! Thank you again
