As the South African summer approaches, sunny days and festive getaways are on everyone’s mind. But before you head out into the heat, there’s one important item to add to your holiday checklist: a professional skin check.
Why Skin Checks Matter
Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in South Africa, and early detection is key. A professional skin check helps identify any unusual moles, freckles, or spots before they become a serious concern. By visiting trusted doctors in Fourways, you can ensure your skin is healthy and ready for summer.
At Take Care Clinic, our healthcare team offers comprehensive skin assessments to detect changes early and provide guidance on maintaining healthy skin. Regular checks are not only for those with visible issues, they are an essential part of preventive care for everyone.
Your Summer Sun Risks
During the December holidays, we naturally spend more time outdoors, whether at the beach, by the pool, or exploring nature. Unfortunately, this also increases our exposure to harmful UV rays. Even with good sunscreen habits, reflection from sand and water can heighten the risk of sun damage.
That is why now is the ideal time to book a skin check at our clinic with your local Lonehill healthcare provider. A quick, non-invasive consultation can give you peace of mind before summer begins.
When to Book a Skin Check
It is recommended to see your doctor at least once a year for a full skin assessment, especially if you:
- Spend lots of time outdoors
- Have a family history of skin cancer
- Notice new or changing moles or freckles
- Have sun-sensitive skin
