Our services

04 What treatment options do you offer?

We offer a range of treatments including skin cancer, moles, cysts, lipomas and skin tags. The choice of treatment depends on the type, size and location of the skin lesion, as well as patient preferences and overall health.

05 What should I expect during my initial consultation?

During your initial consultation, a thorough examination will be conducted to assess your skin lesion. We will discuss your medical history, current concerns and potential treatment options. This consultation is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have. The cost of any treatment proposed will be detailed prior to committing.

06 Can I have my treatment at the same time as my consultation?

Yes, if your condition is suitable for a minor procedure that can be done in a treatment room, it will be performed during the initial consultation. If the procedure is more extensive and requires a formal operating theatre, it will be arranged for a time that suits you.

07 Are skin surgeries safe?

Yes, skin surgeries are generally safe when performed by a surgeon on the GMC Specialist Register. Risks, such as infection or scarring, are minimal and can be managed with proper aftercare. Risks and benefits of any procedure are fully discussed prior to committing to a treatment. Our team takes every precaution to minimise risks and ensure safe outcomes.

For patients

08 Are consultations free?

Our initial consultation for specialist assessment and treatment planning is £125.

09 How much does a typical procedure cost?

Our pricing can vary depending on the extent of the treatment and whether more than one lesion is excised. All pricing includes aftercare to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. Guide prices can be found on our pricing page; for specific pricing details please contact us directly.

10 Is skin surgery covered by private insurance?

We only provide care to self-pay patients currently and do not do insurance consultations. This may change in the future.

11 What aftercare is needed following skin surgery?

Aftercare includes keeping the wound clean and dry, avoiding sun exposure to reduce scarring, and following your surgeon's advice on dressing changes and skincare. Follow-up appointments are made if required as part of the package.

12 What should I do if I experience any complications?

If you experience any complications such as excessive pain, swelling or signs of infection, contact our clinic immediately. Out of hours please contact 111. We provide comprehensive aftercare support and are here to assist you throughout your recovery.
