Breaking the weekday barrier... ☀️
Starting Saturday 13 June, we'll be running doctor-led skin check clinics on Saturdays at Ellipse Skin NZ, Maunu.
We know weekday appointments don't always work — life gets busy. So we're opening Saturdays to make it easier for you, your partner, and your family to get that skin check you've been putting off.
Run personally by Dr Joe Kommunuri, Accredited Skin Cancer Doctor with the Skin Cancer College Australasia (SCCA).
Early detection saves lives — and now there's one less reason to wait.
📅 Saturdays from 13 June 2026
📍 2 Le Ruez Place, Maunu, Whangarei

A skin check is especially worth considering if any of these sound like you or your partner:
• You have had a lot of sun exposure over the years (farming, boating, building)
• You have been sunburnt before
• You have a personal or family history of skin cancer
• You have noticed a new spot or mole
• You simply want peace of mind from someone who knows what to look for
These are exactly the kinds of concerns we see every day at Ellipse Skin NZ. We offer skin checks in Kerikeri, Whangārei, and Mangawhai so Northlanders can access expert care without unnecessary delay.
If one of these points sounds familiar, it may be time to get checked.

Myth: “If it doesn’t hurt, it’s probably fine.”
Fact: One of the reasons skin cancers can be missed is that some concerning spots do not look dramatic at first.
A melanoma may first appear as a new spot or a change in an existing spot — not necessarily something painful or obvious. That is why it is worth paying attention to lesions that are changing, unusual, or simply different from the others.
If you have something on your skin — or you’ve noticed something on your partner’s back — that keeps catching your eye, trust that instinct and get it checked properly.
At Ellipse Skin NZ, we are here to help Northlanders get answers early.

You do not need to wait until a skin spot looks “terrible” before getting it reviewed.
Sometimes the best reason to book is simply that something feels uncertain, and you would rather know than worry. We see many women who book appointments for their husbands simply because a spot “didn’t look right.” That instinct is powerful, and early review matters.
Ellipse Skin NZ offers Spot Checks and Full Body Skin Checks designed to give you clarity, confidence, and a next step if needed.
If you have been putting it off, or waiting for him to book it himself, this is your nudge.

For many, the “unknown” is the biggest reason they delay booking a health appointment. Let’s demystify the process.
What actually happens during a skin check at Ellipse Skin NZ? It is designed to be calm, thorough, and clear. You won’t find a rushed hospital environment here.
Depending on what you book, we assess the specific spot or the skin more broadly. We use an advanced digital dermoscope — a specialised magnifying tool with a light — to look deep into the skin’s structure, seeing things the naked eye cannot. We then
provide a professional clinical review so you understand exactly what comes next.
Our goal is simple: fast access, accurate assessment, and peace of mind for Northland families.

Behind the Scenes at Ellipse Skin NZ 🩺 What exactly are we looking for when we use our digital dermoscopy equipment?
Here are three skin changes that New Zealand melanoma guidance encourages us to take seriously:
1. A new spot that was not there before
2. A spot that is changing in size, shape, or colour
3. A lesion that looks different from the others (the “ugly duckling”)
Not every unusual spot is dangerous, but if something is new, changing, or standing
out on you or your partner’s skin, it deserves a proper look.
We make the process calm and straightforward.

Waiting weeks to get a concerning spot checked can be incredibly stressful for a family. You shouldn’t have to wait months or travel unnecessarily just to get a suspicious spot looked at.
Ellipse Skin NZ was created to provide fast, accessible, community-based skin cancer detection for Northlanders.
Did you know you do not need a GP referral to visit our clinics in Kerikeri, Whangārei,
or Mangawhai?
We combine experienced clinical assessment with advanced technology to give you
clear answers right away. If you know someone in Northland who has been meaning to get a spot checked, send this to them.

Myth: A dangerous spot will always hurt or itch.
Fact: Melanoma is often first noticed simply as a new spot, or a subtle change in an existing one. That change might be in size, shape, colour, or how it feels. Men, particularly those who spend a lot of time outdoors, are statistically at higher risk but often delay getting checked because a spot “doesn’t hurt.”
If you’ve noticed something on your skin — or your partner’s skin — that looks
different from before, it is worth getting it assessed properly rather than waiting and
hoping it settles.
Our local clinics offer professional Spot Checks that take just 15 minutes.

Not sure whether your partner needs a Spot Check or a Full Body Check? Let’s break it down. 🔍
A Spot Check is perfect if there is one specific mole or bump that has been worrying you.
A Full Body Skin Check is the better option when:
• He has more than one spot you are unsure about
• He has a history of working outdoors or widespread sun damage
• There is a personal or family history of skin cancer
• You simply want a complete, baseline review rather than a single-spot opinion
Our full-body checks use advanced imaging to map the skin, giving you a clear picture of his skin health overall.

We often hear from patients: “My wife noticed this spot changing, so she booked me in.”
In New Zealand, melanoma guidance is very clear: when melanoma is recognised and treated early enough, it is almost always curable. That is why noticing change early — and acting on it — matters so much.
As the person who usually notices these changes first, trust your gut. If a spot on your partner’s back or shoulders looks different from before, don’t wait for him to book an appointment. At Ellipse Skin NZ, early detection is at the centre of what we do. We use medical-grade imaging to give you fast answers and clear pathways.
Take 15 minutes for a Spot Check. It’s a small amount of time for a massive amount of
reassurance.
