Skin cancer is a daunting reality for many Kiwis.

Anewly opened practice in Papanui is o ering a wide range of treatments for all skin cancer types, expert advice and care, and a welcoming, safe environment.

Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) is the gold standard for treating two of the most common types of skin cancer; basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas. It is the most accurate, with the highest cure rate and lowest rate of recurrence.

The point of di erence for MMS is in the immediate microscopic examination of the tissue surrounding the removed skin area, including an examination of 100% of the border to ensure that all extensions of the tumour have been removed completely.

In conventional surgery, only around 1% of the tissue margin is examined which means that some ‘roots’ may go unnoticed until the tumour re-occurs. As well as this, MMS allows as little tissue as possible to be removed because of the accuracy of identifying the margins.

Mohs and Skin Cancer Specialists is expert in MMS. The welcoming and spacious skin cancer clinic is custom-built for this treatment, equipped with world-leading Fotofi nder technology for crystal clear imaging and highly accurate mapping of lesions.

The team members (pictured above) look after

everything, right from your fi rst consultation to postsurgery and recovery. Dermatologist and Mohs surgeon Mairi-Clare Ferguson says, “We do everything. Things happen faster that way which often means less worry, and a hassle-free experience for patients.” Mairi-Clare says often people don’t know what to look for, and it isn’t always moles. Scar tissue that appears without an injury, red patches, bumps, ulcers, and infl amed skin can all be signs of skin cancer appearing. “If you are worried, come in for a lesion check. We will discuss your history, take images with Fotofi nder and look for any signs that indicate a tumour.” The scary thing about some skin cancers if that often what you see is not the full story. If you are worried, come in for Mairi-Clare explains that what most people don’t understand a lesion check.

Finding the right agent for you

“How will I know what agent will work best for me?” “Does the commission really impact the sale price?” “Does the method of sale really matter?”

These are common questions often asked by clients of Ray White Rangiora.

Currently real estate seems to be on everybody’s lips and it can be overwhelming to know where to start.

The fi rst step when selling is to fi nd the agent who will work best for you.

Trust should be your biggest decider. Your agent needs to be a good listener, strong communicator, and professional negotiator.

Do your research, attend their open homes, speak with their past clients, or email a question through one of their properties and monitor their response time.

Commission can be a big worry for potential sellers.

It goes without saying, you get what you pay for. The fi rst o er is not always the best and having a skilled agent in the negotiation room will ultimately ensure a premium outcome.

When deciding on your agent, keep in mind it is not about the fees, but the money in your bank account at the end of the transaction.

All methods of sale have their pros and cons. Your agent should be able to confi dently recommend the best sale method based on the current market conditions and provide evidence to support their reasoning.

The professionalism of your agent is the key. Thai Restaurant & Cafe
