About us
About us
Just Skin was started out of the desire to treat skin cancers with targeted, non-invasive therapy. As radiation professionals, we were using high-energy Megavoltage radiation therapy to treat skin. This was more powerful than necessary for treating “just skin”, hence the name of our business and our intention to treat just skin.
Our first practice started in Maroochydore in 2017.
Sin ce then, we have refined what we do. We now offer XRT as well as Grenz ray therapy to treat all the skin that matters. With four locations: Maroochydore, Tewantin, Gympie and Toowoomba, we have plans to expand because of the perceived need for effective, non-invasive skin treatment options.
None of this would be possible without the people. We have a dedicated team of health professionals who care. Our values of respect, responsibility, and reward reflect our intention to always provide our highest standard of care.
