Prices
Prices will vary depending on the time required and complexity of the procedure. The cost will cover the consultation, surgical procedure, equipment, nursing time. Any follow up required, like removal of stiches, will be discussed and agreed on at the time. Histology will be charged for additionally as necessary, but this will always be discussed in advance.
You may prefer initially to book in for a consultation only, to discuss your options and costs. This consultation will cost £50.
Patients with Private Medical Insurance will need to check with their provider in advance of any appointments whether these procedures are covered under their policy and for a local list of approved dermatology practitioners.
