North West Sydney Dermatology & Laser

We are a specialist dermatology clinic with particular focus on innovation in skin cancer management. We also have expertise in vascular laser and in intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment of sun damage. 

​

Our clinic is one of only two in Australia that offer high resolution sub-surface imaging of basal cell cancers (BCCs) using an optical coherence tomography device (OCT). This non-invasive technology is used to diagnose & map tumours, and can also be used to confirm that a skin cancer has been fully removed following treatment. This means we can verify successful removal following non-invasive treatment such as freezing, cautery, photodynamic treatment (PDT), chemotherapy cream, or superficial radiation. The imaging takes less than 30 seconds.

​

​The use of OCT has also enabled us develop a new treatment for basal cell cancers called 'biphasic PDT'. This technique is a modified form of conventional PDT. Our encouraging early results were peer-reviewed and published in 2020, and our most recent study - detailing 7 years of experience with biphasic PDT, was published in July 2025.
