Everything you need to know about referrals, appointments, and your journey with us.
Yes, for medical conditions. To claim your Medicare rebate for medical consultations (such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, or skin cancer checks), a valid referral from your General Practitioner (GP) is required.
Note: Cosmetic consultations (e.g., for anti-aging or laser rejuvenation) do not require a referral, but no Medicare rebate is applicable for these visits.
Expertise you can trust. Unlike cosmetic clinics or franchise laser centres, Smooth Skin Dermatology is led by Dr. Sara Sabourirad (FACD), a fully qualified specialist dermatologist with over 15 years of experience. This ensures your skin is assessed with the highest level of medical rigor, safety, and ethical standards. We diagnose the root cause of your skin concern, not just the symptoms.
We offer a holistic approach.
Medical Dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases like skin cancer, rosacea, and dermatitis to restore health.
Cosmetic Dermatology focuses on aesthetic improvement, such as treating sun damage, pigmentation, or wrinkles. At Smooth Skin Dermatology, we bridge the gap—using medical-grade technology and science to deliver safe, natural-looking cosmetic results.
Yes. We provide comprehensive full-body skin checks. Dr. Sara uses advanced dermoscopy to detect skin cancers (including Melanoma, BCC, and SCC) at their earliest stages. If treatment is required, we offer on-site surgical removal, cryotherapy, or non-surgical management depending on the diagnosis.
Yes. We are conveniently located on Porter Street in Templestowe, with ample parking available nearby for patients. Our location is easily accessible for residents in Doncaster, Heidelberg, and the Manningham area.
It depends on the condition. For many procedures (like cryotherapy for warts or spots), treatment can often be done during the consultation. However, surgical excisions or laser treatments may require a separate booking to ensure adequate time and preparation. Dr. Sara will discuss your treatment plan during your initial visit.
You can book by calling our friendly reception team at (03) 9021 8833 or by emailing your referral to info@skindermatology.com.au.
