Consultation Type: Mole Check

Not sure what’s wrong with your skin? That’s exactly what the consultation is for

You don’t need to know exactly what’s causing your skin concern before booking a dermatology consultation. Whether you have a persistent rash, a new or changing lesion, an ongoing skin condition or something you simply can’t explain, our dermatologists are here to help.

During your consultation, your dermatologist will assess your skin, discuss your symptoms and medical history, and help identify the likely cause. They’ll then explain their findings and recommend the most appropriate next steps, which may include treatment, prescription medication, further investigation or a procedure.

What can our dermatologists help with?

The concerns listed below are some of the most common conditions we see, but this list is not exhaustive. If you don’t see your concern, don’t worry – our dermatologists have extensive experience diagnosing and managing a wide range of skin conditions.

Skin Peel Treatment for Acne: Before and After

Why see a dermatologist?

If you’ve been struggling with a skin concern, seeing a dermatologist can provide specialist advice and a clearer way forward. You may be considering a private dermatology consultation if:

  • You’re facing a long wait for an NHS dermatology appointment
  • Previous treatments haven’t worked or your symptoms keep returning
  • You’re unsure what’s causing your symptoms and would like a specialist assessment
  • You’ve been given different diagnoses or treatments and would like a specialist opinion
  • Your skin concern is affecting your day-to-day life and you want answers sooner

Many skin conditions can look similar, making them difficult to diagnose and treat without specialist dermatology expertise. Our dermatologists can assess your skin, review previous treatments and recommend the most appropriate next steps.

No NHS or GP referral is required. You can book a private dermatology consultation with us directly.

After many years of thinking about having an upper blepharoplasty procedure, I finally decided to go ahead and had it in July. The whole process, from consultation to the ‘event’ itself was quick, extremely professional and friendly and I was provided with an abundance of information about the process before, during and afterwards. It’s not something for the faint hearted as my procedure was performed under local anaesthetic but Dr Will and his assistant, Sigita were fantastic, explaining everything that was happening as we went along and I also felt relaxed and comfortable enough to have a good chat and few good laughs at the same time. 3 months on and I’m absolutely delighted with the results. The pressure that was pushing my eyelids down has been alleviated and I no longer feel so tired all of the time - it’s also an added bonus that I’m told I look a lot younger. 😉 I would have no hesitation in recommending Freya Medical and Dr Will for this, thank you!!🙏😊

I came to Freyja Medical after a negative experience with a local 'aesthetician' who had left me without aftercare with anti-wrinkle injections and a review of how the treatment had worked. Nurse Clare was fantastic. The difference in consultation from a specialist nurse working at a dermatology clinic compared to my prior experience was striking. It was thorough, and Clare explained the process in much more detail, discussing what results I could expect realistically based on the movement of my face and current skin condition. The procedure itself was quick and relatively painless, and my initial results were excellent. In the follow-up consultation, Clare was able to show me close-up images to give me a clearer view of the result, and very few 'tweeks' were needed at all. I highly recommend Freyja Medical and will be returning there for future treatments confident that I will be getting the best care.

I had a suspicious mole removed by Dr Thorsteinsson at the Shrewsbury branch and the stitches removed by Jess. The whole experience from the booking to the aftercare was amazing. I highly recommend this professional outfit to anybody with skin problems or concerns about their moles.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Please reach us at [email protected] if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Do I need a GP referral to see a private dermatologist?

No. You do not need a GP or NHS referral to book a private dermatology consultation at Freyja Medical. You can book directly with one of our dermatologists to discuss your skin concerns, receive a diagnosis and explore appropriate treatment options.

How much does a private dermatology consultation cost?

The cost of a private dermatology consultation can vary depending on the type of appointment you require. For our most up-to-date consultation fees, please click here to view our current price list.

Your dermatologist will discuss any recommended treatments, procedures or further investigations with you during your consultation, including any additional costs, before proceeding.

What skin conditions can a dermatologist diagnose and treat?

Our dermatologists assess and treat a wide range of skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, rashes, cysts, warts, skin tags, pigmentation concerns, hair and scalp conditions, suspicious moles and skin cancer. If you’re unsure what is causing your symptoms, you can still book a consultation for specialist assessment.

What happens during a dermatology consultation?

Your dermatologist will discuss your symptoms, medical history and any treatments you have already tried before carefully examining your skin. They will explain their findings and, where possible, provide a diagnosis and personalised treatment plan. Further tests, procedures or investigations may sometimes be recommended.

Can a private dermatologist prescribe medication?

Yes. Where clinically appropriate, your dermatologist can recommend and prescribe medication as part of your treatment plan. The treatment recommended will depend on your diagnosis, medical history and individual circumstances.

Can I see a dermatologist if I don't know what is wrong with my skin?

Yes. You do not need to know which skin condition you have before booking. Many conditions can cause similar symptoms, so your dermatologist will assess your skin and help identify the possible cause before recommending the most appropriate next steps.

Where can I see a private dermatologist at Freyja Medical?

Private dermatology consultations are available at our clinics in Wrexham, Nantwich, Chester and Shrewsbury, making specialist dermatology care accessible to patients across North Wales, Cheshire and Shropshire.

What happens if I need a biopsy or skin surgery?

If your dermatologist identifies an area that requires further investigation or treatment, they will explain the options available to you. This may include a skin biopsy, removal of a lesion or another dermatological procedure. Any recommended procedure, costs and next steps will be discussed with you before treatment.

Do your dermatologists treat children and patients of all ages?

Yes. Our dermatologists provide consultations for patients of all ages, from babies and children through to teenagers, adults and older patients. With extensive NHS and private dermatology experience, our doctors are experienced in assessing and managing skin concerns that can occur at different stages of life.

For babies and younger children, parents often visit us for help with rashes, eczema and other unexplained skin changes. As many childhood rashes can look similar, a dermatology consultation can help establish the likely cause and determine whether treatment or further investigation is needed.

We also regularly see teenagers with acne, including those whose acne is persistent, worsening, affecting their confidence or has not responded to over-the-counter treatments. Our dermatologists can assess the type and severity of acne and discuss appropriate treatment options, including prescription treatments where clinically suitable.

For adults, we diagnose and manage a wide range of acute and ongoing skin concerns, including eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, acne, rashes, cysts, hair and scalp conditions, and changes to the skin.

We also welcome older patients, including those attending for concerns about new or changing moles, skin lesions, sun damage or possible signs of skin cancer. Family members are welcome to help arrange appointments for elderly relatives and accompany them to their consultation where appropriate.

Whatever your age, you do not need to know exactly what is causing the skin concern before booking. Your dermatologist will assess the problem, explain their findings and recommend the most appropriate next steps.
