Frequently asked questions

How do I make an appointment?
Book online at any time on our booking page, or call the clinic on 028 3082 8945.
Which doctor should I book with?
You don't need to work that out yourself. Our booking page is organised by what's wrong rather than by doctor — choose the option that matches your reason for coming and it puts you with the right person.
I want a mole or cyst removed. What's the process?
Book into a skin lesion assessment clinic on our booking page. Occasionally some lesions can be treated with cryotherapy on the day. Where surgery is needed, an initial consultation comes first for diagnosis and planning, and the procedure is booked for another day. The consultation is £200. Procedures range from £250 for a shave removal to £700 for an excision on the face, and where a lesion is sent to the lab the pathology report is £170 on top — a simple excision with its report comes to £620. The full list is on the booking page.
Do you offer mole mapping?
Yes — total body photography, with 34 high-quality images stored on our secure system for future comparison.
Do you see children?
Yes. Please get in touch and we'll advise on the most appropriate appointment.
Do you take BUPA or other insurance?
We don't bill insurers directly. Our doctors are GPs with a specialism in dermatology, so we sit on the GP register rather than the specialist dermatology register — which is what UK insurers ask for. Payment at the clinic is direct.

Some patients do get reimbursed afterwards by their own insurer — this is more common for patients from the Republic of Ireland, and with certain providers. That's between you and your insurer and it's outside our control, so check with them before you book rather than assuming either way.
Do you prescribe isotretinoin, or injection and systemic treatments?
Yes to isotretinoin — our doctors are licensed to prescribe it where it's clinically appropriate, with the usual monitoring. It's discussed at an appointment rather than requested in advance.

We're unable to provide systemic drugs such as methotrexate, or biological injections. Those are consultant-led services only.
