Prices vary depending on the time required and complexity of the procedure.
However, the cost will cover the consultation, surgical procedure, equipment,
nursing time and any follow up required, like stitches removal.
Histology will be charged for additionally as necessary, but this will
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 £30,
which is refundable if the procedure is carried out, although you are not
obliged to do so.
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.

- Cautery - stopping the bleeding by burning the base of the skin lesion
- Formal excision - cutting the skin lesion out and closing the skin with stitches
- Electrosurgery - use of an electric current to destroy the skin lesion
- Histology- analysis of the skin lesion removed in order to rule out any unexpected diagnosis. Samples will need to be sent to a laboratory for this.
