What would you like treated
These lesions are common, the treatments are well established, and the difference lies in how carefully they are done. Around three in four adults develop a cherry angioma. One person in six lives with recurring nosebleeds, ended in most cases by sealing a single vessel. Half of the people who walk in with xanthelasma are carrying a cholesterol finding they did not know about, which is why the blood test happens in the same building. Dermoscopy before, a laboratory report after, and anything suspicious referred urgently. Every procedure on this page follows that standard.

Doctor-led removals and minor procedures, each performed by a GMC-registered doctor with the consultation included in the price. Same-day availability is routine, and anything larger joins the weekly minor procedures list.
Cryotherapy or snip and cautery, 15–30 min, healed in 7–10 days
The tag that catches on your collar, your razor, your necklace. A GMC-registered doctor removes it in one visit, and by next week it is a fading mark instead of a daily irritation. From £395.
Liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, 15–20 min, repeat at 2–3 weeks if needed
Warts and verrucas that have outstayed months of home treatment respond to doctor-applied liquid nitrogen, with prescription options for the stubborn ones. Walk on skin you are not hiding at the pool. From £295.
Shave or surgical excision after dermoscopy, 20–30 min
The mole you photograph, compare and quietly worry about. It is examined under dermoscopy, removed by shave from £495 or excision from £595, and the lab report from £250 replaces months of wondering with an answer. Anything suspicious is referred urgently, never treated cosmetically.
The whole sac removed, about 30 min, stitches out at 7–14 days
Squeezed cysts come back. Here the whole sac is lifted out, which is why they stay gone. Wear your hair up again. Infected cysts are calmed first and removed properly once the skin settles. From £595.
Excision with the capsule, 30–60 min, scanned on site where needed
The lump you feel every time you lean back. Removed whole under local anaesthetic, with a doctor-performed ultrasound first if it is large or deep, and the tissue checked by the lab so you know exactly what it was. From £695.
Fine electrocautery, seconds per lesion, additional lesions from £175
The red spots that multiply a little every year are sealed in seconds with a fine probe. Most people clear several in one sitting and stop noticing them in photographs. From £395.
Cryotherapy or curettage and cautery, single visit
The waxy, stuck-on patches that arrive with age lift away cleanly because they sit in the top layer of skin only. Checked under dermoscopy first, gone the same day. From £345.
Sterile extraction and micro-cautery, 20–30 min
The white spots under your eyes that no scrub has ever shifted are opened with a sterile fine tip and cleared, with careful technique that protects deeper skin tones from pigment change. From £345.
Hyfrecation after dermoscopy, additional lesions from £175
The small yellow bumps that make foundation sit oddly are flattened with a fine high-frequency tip, once the doctor has ruled out the look-alikes that matter under dermoscopy. From £395.
Fine electrosurgery with a cholesterol review, 15–30 min
The yellow plaques on your eyelids removed where suitable, and the reason behind them checked. Around half of people with xanthelasma have a cholesterol finding worth knowing about, so a lipid profile is run in the same building. From £595.
Cryotherapy or gentle curettage, adults and children
The water warts spreading across your child, or you. Treated gently where treatment is right, with honest advice when waiting is kinder for young children. Additional lesions from £175. From £295.
Discreet cryotherapy, cautery or prescription care
Handled quietly, quickly and without judgement, following national sexual health guidance, with same-day treatment of suitable warts and screening available at the same visit. From £395.
Silver nitrate to the bleeding vessel, 15–20 min
For the nosebleeds that arrive at work, in bed, on holiday. The culprit vessel is sealed in minutes, one side per visit for safety, and most people simply stop having them. From £395.
Partial nail avulsion with phenol, 30–45 min, walk out the same day
The toe that dictates your shoes. The ingrowing edge is removed under local anaesthetic and the root treated with phenol so it does not grow back, with recurrence as low as one to four in a hundred. From £595.
Steroid injection or curettage from the inner eyelid
The stubborn eyelid lump that warm compresses never quite beat. Fresh cysts often settle with a precise steroid injection, established ones are cleared from the inside of the lid so nothing shows, and anything unusual goes to a specialist first. From £495.
Fine-suture reconstruction, about an hour, re-pierce from 3 months
The torn or stretched lobe that decides your earrings for you. Rebuilt under local anaesthetic with fine sutures, healed in around two weeks, ready to pierce again a few months later. From £595.
Punch or shave biopsy with the laboratory report included
When a patch of skin needs a name, a small sample is taken under local anaesthetic and analysed by an accredited laboratory, with the doctor explaining the report to you in plain language. From £395 including the report.
Same-day incision and drainage under local anaesthetic
The hot, throbbing swelling that cannot wait a week. Seen and drained the same day, with antibiotics where needed and follow-up arranged, so relief starts before you leave the clinic. From £495.
Intralesional steroid, a course of sessions is common
The scar that grew beyond its wound. A series of precise steroid injections softens and flattens keloid and hypertrophic scars, spaced over several weeks, with progress reviewed by the same doctor. From £295 per session.
Pick the treatment and a time, or choose the custom quote and send a photo. The right procedure and your price are confirmed before you attend, and a short GP consultation may be suggested first if something needs a closer look.
The doctor examines the lesion under dermoscopy and confirms what it is. Anything with suspicious features is referred urgently in line with NICE guidance rather than treated cosmetically.
Suitable lesions are removed in the same appointment under local anaesthetic where needed. Most visits take 20 to 60 minutes, and the plan is agreed with you before anything is done.
You leave with written aftercare. Wound checks and stitch removal are arranged before you go, and where tissue goes to the laboratory, the doctor talks you through the report within two to three weeks.
At The Wellness, a removal starts before the needle and ends after the wound has healed. Dermoscopy first, so you know what is being removed. A laboratory report after, from £250, so a mole, cyst or lipoma leaves with a diagnosis instead of a guess.
And because blood testing and ultrasound live in the same building, the question behind the lesion gets answered too. Xanthelasma comes with a cholesterol check. A large or deep lipoma is scanned before it is touched. A nosebleed that keeps returning on blood thinners is looked at alongside the medicines that may be feeding it. You do not just lose the lesion. You find out why it was there.
Speak to a doctorIf you know what you need, book it above in three taps, often for the same day.
If you are not sure what the lesion is, send a photo and the team comes back with the right procedure and a fixed quote, recommending a short GP consultation first if anything deserves a closer look. You can also email team@thewellnesslondon.com or call +44 20 3951 3429.
Pick the treatment, a preferred time and confirm, three taps in the booking panel above. Same-day appointments are routine, and most people are assessed and treated in a single visit of 20 to 60 minutes.
No. You book directly with The Online GP by The Wellness. The doctor confirms the diagnosis at the start of your visit and suitable lesions are treated there and then.
Removal of benign lesions such as skin tags, warts, cysts, lipomas and moles is generally classed as cosmetic, so it is not routinely funded and most people arrange it privately. Where a lesion has suspicious features, the doctor arranges urgent referral through the appropriate NHS pathway.
Choose the custom quote option and send a photo. The right procedure and your quote are confirmed before you attend, and where something needs a closer look first, a short GP consultation is recommended to review it. Additional lesions in the same visit are always at a reduced fee.
Yes. Secure card payment holds your appointment when you book. The doctor still confirms the final plan with you before treatment, the fee is simply adjusted if a different procedure is agreed on the day, and you are refunded in full if treatment is not suitable.
Every removal leaves some mark, and technique keeps it small. Cautery and cryotherapy sites heal like a graze over a week or two, shave sites fade over months, and excision leaves a fine line that softens over six to twelve months. Sun protection while it heals makes a real difference.
Histology through an accredited laboratory is available from £250 per specimen and is recommended for moles, cysts and lipomas. It turns reassurance into certainty within two to three weeks, and it is a key reason to choose excision over laser, which destroys the tissue.
It is not treated cosmetically. The doctor arranges urgent assessment through the NHS skin cancer pathway in line with NICE guidance, because a suspected melanoma or skin cancer needs specialist excision with defined margins.
Yes, as part of a private GP service. For molluscum and warts in young children, waiting is often the honest recommendation, and where treatment is right, numbing cream and techniques chosen for comfort are used.
Because diagnosis comes first. Dermoscopy before treatment, a laboratory report after it, blood testing and ultrasound in the same building, and urgent referral of anything suspicious. A removal should leave you with an answer, not just a gap where the lesion was.
