Private dermatological treatments for your skin
As the largest organ in the human body, the health of our skin has an important role to play in our overall health and quality of life. Unfortunately, skin is fragile and can be damaged by a number of things, including:
Irritants, allergens and Ultraviolet radiation
Skin problems are very common and often very distressing. When present on visible areas of the skin, such as the face or arms, it can often cause self-confidence to drop.
Despite the plethora of creams and lotions available in the market, many skin conditions need medical intervention to resolve or even achieve control. Dermatology is the study and treatment of the skin, hair and nails. A doctor who specialises in this area is known as a Consultant dermatologist.
A dermatologist, because of many years of training in this field, will always be the best person to see to help the skin conditions. With their expertise in skin health, they can determine the best treatment option(s) for your specific needs based on a thorough assessment and diagnosis.
At Droitwich Spa Hospital, our Consultant Dermatologists provide management and treatment for all skin conditions. Why not book an appointment today to ask their advice for your problem? They would love to help you.
Whatever skin problem you have, our dermatology team will provide you with expert assessment and diagnosis. Should treatment be necessary, they’ll be able to arrange that for you simply and quickly. They can also discuss if your condition requires an ongoing referral.
The cost of dermatology diagnosis and treatment will depend on your individual circumstances. At the time of your appointment your consultant will discuss all options with you and ensure all your questions are answered.
Our fixed-price packages include the cost of your relevant treatment and all appropriate aftercare appointments. However, any pre-surgery diagnostic tests and your consultant's outpatient appointment consultation fee are charged separately.
Our flexible payment options help you spread the cost of your payment across a period that suits you.
They will take a clinical history and examine your skin. Skin conditions can sometimes require additional investigations such as:
Your Consultant will be able to arrange any of these additional investigations for you as required. Once the results of any tests are back, these will be discussed with you and any suitable treatments options explained. Treatments for skin conditions may include watchful waiting, medication, application of a topical cream/ointment or surgery. Some of the medications or treatments might require a subsequent referral to the NHS by your GP, in which case your consultant will discuss this with you.
Different types of skin surgery can be carried out. These include:
Your Consultant will see you for follow-up appointments at suitable intervals to assess the effects of any treatment. If anything needs to be adjusted or changed, this is easily done. If your symptoms come back again, or if you have any questions or concerns at any time, it is easy to book a time to meet with your Consultant again.
We always ensure that our consultations are efficient for our patients while allowing them the space to discuss their concerns.
Typically, initial consultations typically last 20 to 30 minutes. If you are returning for a follow-up appointment, these are usually 15 to 20 minutes.
The exact length of your appointment will depend on your specific needs and the complexity of your condition. We always aim to give you the time to address all your concerns.
