A dermatology consultation is an appointment with a skin specialist who assesses, diagnoses and advises on conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails. It's one of the most common dermatology services in the UK, often used to investigate concerns such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, moles, rashes and skin lesions.
What moves the price
What’s being treatedSize, number and type of lesions drive the cost - one small removal is far cheaper than several or a large area.
Method usedSurgical excision, cryotherapy, laser or a shave removal each price differently, and some need lab analysis.
Clinic & specialistA consultant dermatologist in a major city charges more than a GP-led clinic.
Consultation & histologyThe initial consultation and sending tissue to a lab for testing are often added on top of the removal.
How much does a dermatology consultation cost in the UK?
Across the 19 clinics we track in the UK, a dermatology consultation is advertised at £75–£385; the midpoint is £235. What you actually pay comes down to the clinic you pick and how complex your case turns out to be.
Why do prices vary so much?
Four things move the price of a dermatology consultation: the materials, who is doing it, how complex your case is, and the postcode. In the UK that currently spans £75 to £385 for the same headline treatment - which is why a “from” price is a starting point, never a promise.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No - they are the advertised private fees we collected from each clinic, and clinics change them. Use them to shortlist, then confirm the exact cost with the clinic before you book.
