Becoming a patient at our clinic in London will ensure that you receive the best dermatology treatment and care that the UK has to offer. Our dermatology clinicians endeavour to make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
We understand that skin conditions can have a huge impact on a person’s well-being, and we therefore, adopt a holistic approach to mitigate the levels of stress and anxiety during your patient journey with us. We believe that delivering personalised care is essential in the road to recovery and the management of skin conditions for our patients.
If you have a skin problem or something is causing you concern, our doctors, in many cases, will be able to quickly diagnose and identify the problem. In some patients, further investigation will be required, including skin biopsy, allergy tests, swabs and skin scraping tests together with blood tests before a diagnosis can be reached. From there our doctors will be able to tailor a personalised treatment plan that is best suited to your individual needs. Once your condition has been treated or is under control, you may visit our clinic for checkups to ensure that your skin condition is under control or, depending on the condition, has resolved entirely.
Patients can book an appointment directly with one of our dermatologists, but some people choose to visit The Dermatology Clinic London after getting a referral from their GP.
Our clinic frequently diagnoses and treats an extensive range of skin conditions. Common conditions we treat include acne, eczema, psoriasis & skin cancer.

What is a Consultant Dermatologist?
A Consultant Dermatologist is a doctor who has undergone rigorous training in general medicine before specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair and nail conditions. To become a Consultant Dermatologist, one must undergo many years of training. They focus almost entirely on the treatment and diagnosis of skin disease. Many Consultant Dermatologists including our clinicians are trained in paediatric dermatology, a subspecialty dealing with skin conditions in children.
Skin Cancer Treatment in London
Our Dermatologists are highly skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of all types of skin cancer. This includes both melanoma and non-melanoma cancers along with other rarer forms of skin cancer. We discuss all complex or advanced skin cancers in a multidisciplinary team, which is the gold standard of care. This allows us to discuss treatment plans for complicated skin cancer management with our histopathologist, plastic surgery and oncology colleagues as required.
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer and is seen in up to 1 in 5 people.
The two most common types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Melanoma are less common but over sixteen thousand are seen each year in the UK. Many skin cancers are caused by exposure to harmful UV light. Most skin cancers, if caught early are treated by simple surgery alone.
Medical & Cosmetic Dermatology Care
What is the difference between medical and cosmetic dermatology care? While there is some crossover, the distinction is easy to understand.
Cosmetic can be defined as relating to the restoration or improvement of appearance. All Dermatology has a cosmetic component.
Medical dermatology helps you overcome skin, hair and nail conditions that affect your health – at worst, cancerous moles and so forth.
Meanwhile, cosmetic dermatology or cosmetic beautification is where the only purpose is to alter one's appearance rather than deliver healthcare.
Common Conditions that we treat at our clinic
Our range of treatments available is highly comprehensive, and we can discuss your specific needs during your consultation.
Here are some of the most common skin conditions that are treated at our clinic.
Most moles are completely harmless. However, moles that appear suddenly, or that begin to feel uncomfortable causing itching, pain or even bleeding, can be of concern and it is important that they are assessed as soon as possible.
Acne is one of the most common skin diseases and affects almost all teenagers to some degree.
Acne is also increasingly common in even the most healthy of adults, particularly prevalent in women. Acne can have a significant impact on self-confidence and psychological health. It can also cause scarring of the skin.
It is therefore essential it is treated early. Acne requires highly individualised treatment, making speaking to a Dermatologist about it vital.
No matter your age or gender, alopecia can still create a difficult-to-manage condition. Alopecia itself can cause anxiety as a result of societal pressures. There are many different types of alopecia which can manifest as diffuse thinning of the hair or with patches of complete hair loss. Alopecia is often categorised into non-scarring and scarring types, it is essential to treat scarring alopecia quickly to minimise permanent hair loss. Non-scarring alopecia has the potential for regrowth.
From steroids taken orally or via injections, to specialist creams, topical therapies and phototherapy, we are experienced in working with clients to overcome this issue.
Pilar cysts are non-cancerous growths that arise from a hair follicle structure and can occur in any hair-bearing area.
Often inclined to run in the family, pilar cysts are not dangerous.
It is not always necessary to remove pilar cysts, but if they are large or symptomatic then they can be removed surgically, normally under local anaesthetic.
Skin tags are small, often pedunculated growths on the skin that can appear a little like lesions and warts. Frequently they never get bigger than a millimetre or two in size.
These can be removed via burning, freezing or cutting them away. Naturally, we will work with you during and after your consultancy to offer the approach with which you are most comfortable.
