A great deal of what presents as a cosmetic skin concern turns out to have a medical cause. Pigmentation can be post-inflammatory, hormonal or photodamage. Persistent facial redness can be rosacea, lupus or something else entirely. That is why every treatment below begins with a diagnosis rather than a price list.
Mole removal
Moles are assessed before they are removed — never the other way round. Where a lesion is suspicious, it is excised and sent for histology rather than destroyed.
Read moreLaser mole removal
Appropriate only for lesions confirmed benign on assessment. Laser destroys tissue, which means there is nothing left to send to a pathologist — so the diagnosis has to be settled first.
Read moreCyst removal
A cyst that is merely drained will usually come back. Removing the wall intact is what makes the difference between a temporary fix and a definitive one.
Read moreMilia removal
Small, firm white bumps that do not respond to squeezing, extraction at home, or most over-the-counter products. Removal is quick when done properly.
Read moreBirthmark treatment
Birthmarks vary enormously in what they are and what can be done about them. The first job is establishing which type you have, because that determines whether treatment will help at all.
Read moreRosacea treatment
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition, not a skin type or a sensitivity. Treating it as the latter is why so many people spend years getting nowhere.
Read moreAcne treatment
Acne is a medical condition with effective treatments. Persistent acne in an adult usually means the underlying driver has not been identified rather than that nothing works.
Read moreAcne scarring treatment
Scar type determines treatment. Applying one modality to every scar is why results often disappoint, and why an accurate assessment is worth more than any single device.
Read moreSkin tag removal
Straightforward to remove once confirmed as what they appear to be. The assessment matters because several less benign lesions can look similar.
Read moreLaser resurfacing
A prescription-grade intervention. The difference between an excellent and a damaging result is almost entirely patient selection and settings.
Read moreWhere you would be seen
Consultations and minor skin surgery take place at CLNQ Manchester on the ground floor of the South Tower at Deansgate Square, and at CLNQ Knutsford on King Street in Cheshire. Patients travel from across Greater Manchester and Cheshire — Altrincham, Hale, Bowdon, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and Didsbury are all within easy reach of one or other site.
Where a lesion needs a theatre rather than a treatment room, the procedure is arranged at Deansgate Hospital, a CQC-registered private hospital a few minutes away in Manchester city centre. Any specimen requiring histology goes to a UK histopathology laboratory and the result is discussed with you directly.
