Skin Cancer Medicine

When was your last skin cancer check?

From examination through to surgical management dermoscopy-led assessment, individualised treatment planning, and careful follow-up matched to your risk and history.

This is a dedicated skin cancer practice covering the full clinical pathway from initial examination and diagnosis through to surgical management and follow-up care. Patients are seen as individuals, and examination, treatment planning and follow-up are matched to risk, history and personal preference.

Megan holds advanced certification in dermoscopy through the Skin Cancer College Australasia and is currently completing a Master of Medicine in Skin Cancer through the University of Queensland. Her surgical capability extends to reconstructive repairs, allowing most skin cancer surgery to be managed within the one practice.

"Australia has some of the highest skin cancer rates in the world, screening is essential for prevention and early treatment.

Aesthetic Medicine

Aesthetic care, practised as medicine.

Treatment is consultation-led, informed by current research, and grounded in a careful medical assessment of skin health rather than a checklist of products.

The focus is skin quality and longevity supporting collagen, addressing the underlying drivers of age-related skin change, and building treatment plans that work with the patient's biology over time. Where appropriate, this includes regenerative approaches and biostimulator-based options, discussed in the context of an individual consultation.

Megan's clinical interest in this area sits alongside her current research within the Master of Medicine programme, which keeps her approach anchored in the evolving evidence base.

Acne & Rosacea

Clearer skin starts with the right plan

Medical-grade assessment and personalised treatment for acne and rosacea, combining clinical expertise with an understanding of how skin conditions affect confidence and wellbeing.

Acne and rosacea are among the most common skin conditions seen in general practice, yet they are often undertreated or managed with generic approaches. Dr Megan Kelly takes a thorough, evidence-based approach, assessing skin type, triggers, severity and history before building a treatment plan tailored to each patient.

Whether you're dealing with persistent breakouts, hormonal acne, or the redness and sensitivity of rosacea, a medical consultation ensures your treatment targets the underlying cause rather than just the symptoms.

"Effective acne and rosacea management goes beyond skincare. It requires understanding each patient's skin, triggers, and goals."

Treatment suitability, risks, expected outcomes and alternatives are discussed during medical consultation. Results and treatment plans vary between patients. Specific medicines are not listed online in line with TGA advertising guidelines.

Women's Health

Supportive care for the hormonal transitions of midlife.

A stage that tends to be poorly served and frequently misattributed to 'just stress'. Careful assessment and individualised management for perimenopausal and menopausal health.

At Her Medical, perimenopause and menopause support is individualised and aligned with evidence based practice. HRT support can be life changing across a woman's lifespan.

This page sits alongside skin cancer and aesthetic medicine intentionally in practice, these areas overlap. Skin changes in midlife are often hormonal as much as they are cosmetic. Understanding the hormonal-skin axis is part of how Megan approaches skin health across all clinical areas.

"Skin changes in midlife are often hormonal as much as they are cosmetic."

Areas of focus

  • Perimenopausal symptom assessment and management
  • Menopausal hormone therapy (HRT) initiation, review and individualisation
  • The hormonal-skin axis: how perimenopausal change affects skin quality
  • Contraception, cycle and hormonal review
  • General wellbeing, preventive health and continuity of care

Treatment suitability, risks, expected outcomes and alternatives are discussed during medical consultation. Results and treatment plans vary between patients.
