Safe and effective removal of skin blemishes.
What is it?
Minor skin blemishes - such as skin tags, cysts, lipomas and moles - can be a source of significant distress, especially when they are in a prominent location.
At our clinic, we offer a range of safe and effective surgical and non-surgical treatments to remove these lesions with minimal trauma. Our treatments include everything from electrocautery to formal excision, performed by experienced professionals.

How it works
All minor skin surgery treatments at our clinic begin with a full face-to-face surgical assessment with either Dr Richard Gordon or Dr Iain Innes.
During this confidential consultation, they will evaluate your blemish to determine if it is safe and suitable for treatment in our clinic setting.
We will then discuss the most appropriate treatment option for you, which may involve removal or biopsy. Dermoscopy to obtain a Consultant Dermatologist opinion is also an option (see below).
Should a lesion not be suitable for removal in a clinic environment, we will help you find the best pathway to care outwith our service. Your safety is our highest priority.
We have recently launched a dermoscopy service to complement our minor surgery services – see here for more information.
