March 14, 2018 By Skin Surgery Clinic Team 7 Comments

Updated March 2019 with new before and after photos.

Mole Removal Question Answers Dr Andrew Smith is a GP specialising in Skin Surgery and works for the NHS in Bingley, West Yorkshire.

He is highly experienced in the use of medical grade lasers for mole removal and has worked at our Leeds-Bradford Clinic in Guiseley for six years.

We took some time with him to discuss the questions we are most frequently asked about about Laser Mole Removal.

How long does the procedure take?

From start to finish, a Laser Mole Removal appointment takes about 30 minutes. Mostly this involves discussion about the procedure and the aftercare. The actual laser treatment only takes approximately 5 minutes for each mole. [Read more…] about Laser Mole Removal – Dr Andrew Smith answers the most frequently asked questions…

WATCH THE VIDEO: Dramatic Results from Eyelid Surgery

March 3, 2016 By Skin Surgery Clinic Team 6 Comments

Upper Eyelid Surgery
“I am going to be 50 next year and I just want to look as good as I can for my age. After serious consideration, I took the decision to have an eyelid lift. Watch this video and find out more about my experience.”

Tracey addressed signs of ageing and tiredness by opting for an Eyelid Surgery. The procedure is called an Upper Blepharoplasty and is carried out by our Consultant Plastic Surgeon Mr David Watt. A blepharoplasty removes folds of loose skin and fatty deposits within them, to produce a less-tired and more youthful appearance.

Do I need a referral from my GP to have a mole privately removed?

June 12, 2014 By Skin Surgery Clinic Team

GP Mole Referral

A question that we are often asked at the clinic:

The simple answer is no, a GP referral is not necessary. Many of our patients do come to us with a referral from their GP, but it is not a requirement. We are medically registered to be able to treat you if you self-refer to us.

“There is an increasing prevalence of skin cancers in the UK, so non-suspicious (benign) moles are very rarely removed on the NHS. To get a benign mole removed, you would almost always need to do so privately and will be charged a fee.” (Source: NHS UK)

At the Skin Surgery Clinic, consultations and procedures are always carried out by a GP or a Consultant. There will be no difference in the level of care that you will receive and the information that you will be given about your mole, whether you go to your own GP or come and see us, except perhaps that our Doctors have a special interest in skin concerns and see a greater number of moles in their daily practice.

There will be no change to your future eligibility of free NHS services if you choose to seek private treatment for mole removal.

What is a skin tag?

April 17, 2014 By Skin Surgery Clinic Team

If you’re interested in treatment, please visit our Skin Tag Removal page.

Skin TagThese strange looking skin growths are very common and are benign (harmless), occurring equally in both males and females. They are small and soft in appearance and can be either flesh-coloured or brown, looking much like tiny pockets of hanging skin; in fact, they often project from the surrounding skin from a tiny narrow stalk (they are pedunculated.)

Skin tags are composed of a core of fibres and ducts, nerve cells, fat cells and a covering or epidermis.

Skin tags are typically only a few mm in diameter (2 – 5mm), but some can grow as large as 5cm, about the size of a fig.

The medical name for skin tags (or skin tabs as they are sometimes known) is acrochordons.

Read our Latest Laser Mole Removal Testimonials

August 23, 2013 By Skin Surgery Clinic Team

Joseph Kovacs – Treated August 2013 by Mr David Watt

The clinic is very clean and welcoming, the staff are also very friendly and helpful. The actual treatment was quick and effective and the two moles that I had removed have healed very quickly with minimal scarring. Really happy with the mole removal on the lower eyelid, I thought it would be impossible to treat with a laser but Mr Watt did a fantastic job. The aftercare service was impeccable!”

 

R Harrison – Treated July 2013 by Dr Rachael Kay

”From my first visit to the Skin Surgery Clinic they were very professional and happy to answer all my questions. On the day of treatment Lorraine & Dr Kay immediately put me at ease. Iam very happy with the results of my treatment and would recommend the Skin Surgery Clinic to my family & friends.”

 

Lauren Richardson – Treated July 2013 by Mr David Watt

Lovely friendly staff who gave me all the information and reassurance I needed about the procedure. Over the moon with the results, extremely neat & tidy finish”.
