Minor Skin Surgery

If you have multiple lesions please submit details and we will aim to remove this at the same time. Prices above related to one lesion being removed but will tailored to each patient.  

The NHS will treat certain conditions such as skin cancers. In some areas, sometimes lesions that cause symptoms (eg catching/bleeding) can also be removed.  

Any other lesion will typically need private treatment. 

MyHealthcare clinic does not remove cancerous lesions. However, we can arrange for our dermatology consultants to see and remove these privately. Alternatively, cancerous lesions can be removed in the NHS and your GP can refer you for this. 

Procedures length varies depending on the size, type, number and location of lesion(s). Typically this is around 30-60minutes. 

These procedures only require local anaesthetic, which is injected into the skin to numb the area. This wears off after a few hours. 

The doctor will provide advice on post-operative wound care, and arrange for stitch remove/wound care if needed.  

You will be free to go straight after surgery.  

Most treatments can leave a scar, which may be a linear / line, or a flatter graze type scar, depending on the treatments received.  

The degree of scarring depends on your age, where the lesion is and what surgery technique was used as well as your skin colour, as often darker skinned individuals may have more notable scarring. 

Your doctor will discuss wound care with you and ways to help minimise the scar over time. 

Some samples will need to be sent to the laboratory for analysis. This is required to ensure that what was removed can be confirmed. This is gold standard care, and is typically required for some lesions such as seborrheic warts and moles.  

We only charge you the fees set out by the laboratory. We will arrange couriering of samples to the lab following surgery. 

Payment for surgery is taken in advance and our booking team will arrange this at the time of booking.   

If you decide to cancel your procedure, please ensure you contact us with at least 48 hours notice. Please contact our team on [email protected] or on 0207 099 5555. 

Any cancellations with less than 48 hours notice, will result in the consultation fee charge of £95 being deducted. The remainder of your payment will be returned to you, or can be rescheduled (still includes additional £95 fee in the event of a late notice reschedule).
