Dermatology Consultations
Get specialist advice for your skin concerns with an experienced dermatologist. Whether you’re struggling with an ongoing skin condition, concerned about a new or changing lesion, or simply unsure what’s causing your symptoms, we can help you get the answers you need.
At Freyja Medical, our dermatologists provide expert assessment, diagnosis and personalised treatment plans for a wide range of skin conditions, with private consultations available across our clinics. No GP referral is required.
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.
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
- 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.
