Dermatology appointments can help with:
Your skin is your body’s largest organ, working hard every day to protect you from the elements.
When conditions like acne, dermatitis or rosacea arise, they can affect not only your skin but also your overall wellbeing, especially if left untreated.
Seeking care early can make a meaningful difference, helping to prevent long-term damage and reduce the risk of scarring.
With the right support, healthy, comfortable skin is absolutely within reach.
Skin conditions can sometimes change unexpectedly.
Identifying the factors that contribute to your skin concerns is an important part of effective treatment.

Q: Do I need a referral to see a dermatologist?
A: While a referral is not strictly legally required to book, most health insurance policies (like Southern Cross) require a GP referral to cover the cost of a Specialist Dermatologist consultation. We recommend checking your policy.
Q: What is the difference between a Skin Check and a Dermatology appointment?
A: A Skin Check is specifically for checking moles and skin cancer. A Dermatology appointment covers medical skin conditions such as acne, eczema, rashes, rosacea, and psoriasis.
Q: Which clinics offer Dermatology services?
A: Our Specialist Dermatology services are currently available at our New Lynn, NorthWest, Ponsonby, and Remuera clinics.
Q: Can you treat acne scarring?
A: Yes. Our team offers comprehensive acne management, from active acne treatment (using prescription medication) to laser therapies for reducing post-acne scarring.
Q: Is dermatology covered by insurance?
A: Medical dermatology (treating conditions) is typically covered by comprehensive policies if you have a GP referral. Cosmetic dermatology (like appearance medicine) is generally not covered.
