Non-Invasive Skin Cancer Treatment in Melbourne
Experience our advanced non-invasive treatments; this range of procedures and medications is designed to target and eliminate cancerous cells from the skin without the necessity of surgical intervention.
In non-invasive skin cancer, these treatments are often preferred for their minimally invasive nature and effectiveness. Our team of medical experts are prepared to provide comprehensive care and deliver tailored solutions according to our patient’s needs.
Our Non-Surgical Skin Cancer Treatments
At Manningham Skin Cancer, we offer different skin services; we also provide a range of non-surgical alternative treatments; our services include:
Cryosurgery
This non-surgical skin cancer removal treatment involves the application of liquid nitrogen to the affected area, freezing the abnormal cells and causing them to die off. It can be performed as a non-invasive basal cell carcinoma treatment and treat early-stage squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs).
Imiquimod Cream
Imiquimod is a topical cream that activates the body’s immune system to target and eliminate abnormal skin cells. This is an effective treatment for non-invasive skin cancers such as superficial basal cell carcinomas (sBCCs) and actinic keratoses.
5-Fluorouracil Cream
5-Fluorouracil is a topical medication that works by interfering with the growth of abnormal skin cells, disrupting the growth of precancerous and cancerous skin cells, and promoting their elimination. It can treat actinic keratoses and some early squamous cell carcinomas.
Am I a Candidate for a Non-surgical Treatment?
Non-surgical skin cancer removal treatments can have a great success rate when applied to carefully selected low-risk skin cancers. Yet, it’s important to note that these treatments may not be suitable for higher-risk skin cancers like melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and certain forms of basal cell carcinoma.
A specialist will consider specific criteria, including the lesion’s size, type, and location, to determine whether you’re a candidate for non-surgical treatment. A biopsy may also be necessary. An in-depth evaluation is critical to measuring the potential success of a non-surgical treatment approach for each skin cancer case.

Skin Cancer can be scary, but you’re not alone.
Skin cancer stands as the most common form of cancer in Australia, affecting 2 out of every 3 Australians by the age of 70. Australia has one of the highest incidences of skin cancer globally due to excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by the sun. Frequent checkups and early detection are key to a successful outcome.
At Manningham Skin Cancer Clinic, we understand the anxiety that comes with a skin cancer diagnosis and our team is dedicated to providing support, guidance, and effective treatments to navigate this challenging journey with you.
