Our dermatology consultants routinely treat a wide range of skin conditions using surgical techniques. Below are some of the most common issues we address:
Skin cancer is one of the most serious concerns in dermatology, and early detection is crucial. If we spot something suspicious during your consultation or mole check, we may recommend a biopsy or removal. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form, usually presenting as a slow-growing patch or lump. Squamous cell carcinoma can grow faster and may appear as a scaly or crusted area. Melanoma, the most serious type, can develop from an existing mole or appear as a new pigmented lesion. Our dermatologic surgeons are highly skilled in identifying and removing these cancers with clear margins, while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
Many people have moles, but not all are harmless. If a mole changes in size, shape or colour, it’s best to get it checked. We can surgically remove moles for both medical and cosmetic reasons. Whether you’re concerned about skin cancer or simply want to remove a mole that’s affecting your confidence, we’ll talk you through the options. Mole removal is usually quick and leaves minimal scarring – and if we’re testing it for cancer, we’ll let you know the results as soon as possible.
Not every lump or bump is cause for concern, but it’s always worth getting it checked. Dermatofibromas, keratoacanthomas, and seborrhoeic keratoses are common benign skin lesions that may require removal if they’re symptomatic or cosmetically distressing.
Choosing where to have your skin surgery is an important decision – and here’s why we believe you’ll feel at ease with us.
All our procedures are carried out by GMC-registered consultant dermatologists with specialist training in dermatologic surgery. That means your treatment is not only safe – it’s tailored and precise.
No two patients are alike, and neither are their skin concerns. We take time to understand what’s bothering you and offer solutions that fit both your medical needs and lifestyle.
We understand that skin issues can be sensitive. Our clinic is designed to provide a discreet, welcoming atmosphere where you can feel completely at ease discussing your concerns.
If you have a lump, mole, lesion, or skin growth that’s changed, causing discomfort, or simply concerning you, it’s worth booking a consultation. Our dermatologists will assess whether surgical treatment is necessary and explain all your options.
Not at all. The area will be fully numbed with a local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. You may feel a little soreness afterwards, similar to a small graze, but we’ll advise on how to manage that comfortably.
Any procedure that involves cutting the skin can result in a scar, but our surgeons are highly trained in techniques that minimise scarring. We'll also give you aftercare tips to help the skin heal as neatly as possible.
Yes, in many cases multiple lesions can be treated during a single visit – provided it’s safe to do so. We’ll let you know what’s possible during your consultation.
Most procedures require little to no downtime. You can usually return to work the next day, unless your job involves strenuous activity or the treated area needs protection.
Where possible, yes – especially for straightforward removals. If more planning or testing is needed, we may schedule your procedure for a later date. Either way, we aim to keep things as efficient as possible.
Costs vary depending on the procedure and complexity. We’ll provide a clear quote before any treatment goes ahead. There are no hidden charges, and we’ll discuss all your options before you commit.
No, you can self-refer directly to us. However, if you do have a referral from your GP or another consultant, we’re happy to work in conjunction with them to provide the best care.
Many procedures, especially those for medically necessary reasons (like skin cancer), are covered by private insurance. We work with most major providers and can assist with pre-authorisation if required.
