Initial Consultation-Skin Lesion Removal

Service Description

An initial consultation with Dr Gemma is required before treatment to assess whether the lesion is suitable for cryotherapy. This booking is for the consultation only. If the lesions are deemed suitable, an additional charge of £50 can be paid on the day for the treatment of up to 3 lesions. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can schedule the treatment at a separate time following the initial consultation. Most lesions usually only require one treatment, however if an additional treatment is required a charge of £50 will apply for each subsequent treatment. Cryotherapy is a highly effective treatment for various skin conditions, including skin tags, actinic keratosis, seborrheic keratosis, lentigo, molluscum contagiosum, verrucas, and warts. Cryotherapy utilises the power of extreme cold to freeze and destroy abnormal skin cells, promoting healthy skin regeneration. If you have more than 3 lesions, please contact clinic for a bespoke quotation.
