At Just Skin Treatment Clinic, we offer advanced non-surgical skin cancer treatment to provide you with more options.
Non-surgical skin cancer treatments like superficial X-ray therapy (XRT) and Grenz Ray Therapy use targeted low-energy radiation to treat specific skin conditions.
These treatments focus energy on the skin’s surface layers, targeting abnormal skin cells to help preserve surrounding healthy tissue.
While both treatments use forms of radiation, they differ in depth and application.
Delivers ultra-soft X-rays that penetrate only the upper layers of the skin, making it suitable for surface-level conditions.
Penetrates slightly deeper to treat more established non-melanoma skin cancers.
At Just Skin, your XRT or Grenz ray therapy fee includes comprehensive care – covering planning, treatment, and post-care by our team of qualified professionals. While full payment is required upfront, the treatment is privately billed, and Medicare rebates are available to help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.
Once you reach the Medicare Safety Net for the year, you receive a further rebate covering 80% of the remaining gap, making ongoing treatment significantly more affordable.
