Services
Skin Cancer Treatment
Our skin cancer treatments combine advanced diagnostics with surgical expertise. We offer comprehensive detection, biopsy, and excision services using dermatoscopy and histopathology. Patients receive personalised treatment plans for basal cell carcinomas, melanomas, and other skin cancers. Our GPs perform elliptical excisions and provide post-operative care with GP referrals for complex cases.
Dermatology Services
We address medical skin conditions through expert diagnosis and management. Our services include eczema, psoriasis, acne, and rosacea treatment. The team utilises medical-grade topical therapies and phototherapy. We coordinate care with specialist dermatologists via telehealth consultations for complex cases requiring additional expertise.
Laser Hair Removal
This cosmetic treatment uses medical-grade lasers for permanent hair reduction. Our technicians target melanin in hair follicles across body areas like legs, underarms, and bikini lines. Treatments require multiple sessions for optimal results. We follow strict safety protocols to ensure effective outcomes with minimal skin irritation.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
These injections temporarily reduce facial wrinkles by relaxing targeted muscles. We treat areas like frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases using FDA-approved formulations. Results appear within days and last 3-4 months. The procedure takes 10-15 minutes with immediate return to daily activities.
Medical Grade Peels
Our peels use higher-concentration acids to address pigmentation, acne, and sun damage. Treatments involve applying salicylic, glycolic, or trichloroacetic acid to exfoliate dead skin cells. Multiple sessions improve skin texture and tone. We recommend post-treatment sun protection for optimal results.

This was a really disappointing experience. I travelled over an hour to get to the clinic, where I was instructed to go around the corner from the main reception to another waiting area and to just wait if theres no one there. The area was in darkness so I waited in the dark like a bat in a cave. My therapist strolled into work after 9am while I was sitting there waiting, then proceeded to tell me the treatment I wanted wasnt worth the cost (fair enough) but offered me an alternative that required 2 weeks of skin prep with cosmeceuticals (which they could sell me, of course).

The Shepparton Skin Clinic team are absolutely amazing. I very nervously went into to get a small lump removed from my cheek and have never felt more comfortable or at ease during a procedure. The procedure was so quick and both nurse and doctor were very friendly and accommodating to my nerves. Feel so much more confident now. Thank you so much! I will definitely be back in the future! :)

5 stars for my experience at Shepparton Skin Clinic. Monique and Carmella were extremely thorough and understanding when considering the best treatment for Acne. Monique was exceptionally accomodating and knowledgeable, and gave me an in depth explanation of what was going on with the health of my skin and also of the treatment I was receiving. She also recommended the best skin care routine and products for my skin concerns and explained to me the reasons she chose them in my treatment plan. Im very impressed with the service I received and I am feeling confident that I have been placed in

I thought skin care was a scam until I started attending Shepparton Skin Clinic. I had some skin concerns that I really wanted to improve for my wedding day.
Dannielle was amazing, very understanding and knowledgeable. I noticed immediate results. My skin on my wedding day was exactly what I had hoped for. I found the treatments and products effective and highly affordable. Will be using their services and products ongoing
Thank you again:)

Dr Hook was absolutely wonderful, however the reception staff were immovable on the Covid rule of not having anyone else in the waiting room with me (even though there were many spare seats and I saw a mother and daughter come in later) and made my 87 year old father wait outside in the car on a 41 degree day. We had driven two hours to get to Shepparton and I felt guilty for not cancelling my appointment when they told us this rule. Had this been made clear to us before we left home I would have made other arrangements for my father.

Fabulous, knowledgeable and caring people. Dr Hook is wonderful and thorough. The only reason I put 4 instead of 5 stars is the wait times at the clinic. Highly recommend for all else.
