New Zealand has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Why? Our

intense UV levels, outdoor lifestyle, and generally fair skin types mean we’re more

exposed than we realise, even on cloudy days.

At Ellipse Skin NZ, we’ve seen far too many patients who waited too long. But here’s

the good news: skin cancer is one of the most treatable cancers, when caught

early.

A 30-minute full body check could be the difference between peace of mind and a

delayed diagnosis.

Don’t wait for symptoms. Prevention starts with detection.

Book your skin check with us today.
