Diagnosis before removal
Benign skin growth assessment.
Many skin growths are harmless, but assessment first confirms the likely diagnosis and whether monitoring or removal is appropriate.
Specialist consultation
Assessment guides the next step.
Your dermatologist will examine the lesion and consider its history, symptoms, recent changes and any previous treatment.
If removal is appropriate, reception will arrange the correct procedure time based on the number, size and location of the lesions.
A quieter setting for careful assessment, clear advice and a practical treatment plan.

Can several lesions be removed at once?
Sometimes. The number, type, size and location determine the safe procedure time. Reception will arrange the correct appointment after assessment.
