Your journey, step by step
Minor surgery assessment
A focused consultation (£75) where your doctor examines the area, discusses options, and plans the procedure.
Consent and preparation
Full explanation of the procedure, expected outcome, risks, and aftercare -- with time for your questions.
Local anaesthetic
The area is numbed completely. You may feel a brief sting from the injection, then nothing during the procedure.
Removal
Your doctor removes the lesion using the most appropriate technique -- excision, shave, or cautery -- depending on the type and location.
Wound care and aftercare
The wound is dressed and you receive written aftercare instructions including what to expect during healing.
Laboratory analysis (if needed)
Tissue is sent to a laboratory for microscopic analysis. Results are typically available within 5-7 working days and reviewed with you personally.

“Had two moles removed that had been bothering me for years. The procedure was quick, virtually painless, and the follow-up was reassuring. Lab results came back clear within a week.”
Frequently asked questions
No. The area is numbed with local anaesthetic before anything is done. You may feel a brief sting from the injection, then nothing during the procedure itself.
All skin procedures leave some mark. Our techniques are designed to minimise scarring, and we provide detailed aftercare to promote the best possible healing. Scars typically fade significantly over 6-12 months.
Not always. Your doctor will recommend it when the type, appearance, or location of the lesion warrants a closer look. It is always optional but provides valuable peace of mind, particularly for moles or unusual growths.
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. You should keep the area clean and dry for 48 hours and avoid strenuous exercise for a few days. Stitches, if used, are removed after 7-14 days.
Yes. Facial procedures require extra care to minimise scarring. Your doctor will discuss the best technique for the specific location.
No. You can book a minor surgery assessment directly. If your NHS GP has flagged something for removal, you are welcome to bring their notes.
