Not always. Many lesions that appear straightforward can have features that warrant a closer clinical look.

• Our doctors examine each lesion using dermoscopy before any procedure, giving a more detailed view than visual inspection alone
• If there is any uncertainty, histology testing is available, so you receive a confirmed result
• You are never asked to self-assess. The clinical judgement is made by our doctors at your appointment

The most important step is having the lesion properly assessed before any decision is made about removal.

Yes. Additional lesions removed in the same session are charged per lesion.

• Each additional lesion is charged at £100 to £150 on top of the base procedure cost
• Combining removals in one visit saves time and reduces the number of appointments needed
• Your doctor will confirm at the clinical assessment how many removals are suitable in a single session

Most patients experience little to no pain during removal. Local anaesthetic is applied to the area before the procedure begins.

• The anaesthetic is administered via a small injection to numb the area completely
• Some mild soreness and tenderness is normal in the first day or two after the procedure
• This can usually be managed with standard over-the-counter pain relief

If you are anxious about the procedure, let us know when you book and our team will talk you through what to expect.

Yes. The NHS does not routinely fund the removal of benign lesions for cosmetic reasons, but this is not the case at SABA Health.

• You do not need to meet a clinical necessity threshold to be seen by us
• If a lesion is bothering you, causing anxiety, or if you simply want it assessed and removed, we can help
• Our doctors will assess the lesion first and advise on the best approach for your specific case

Many of our patients come to us after being turned away elsewhere. We take every concern seriously from the first conversation.

All skin procedures carry some possibility of marking, but our doctors use cosmetic closure techniques specifically to minimise visible scarring.

• The extent of any residual mark depends on the size and location of the lesion
• Your individual skin type also plays a role in how the area heals
• Your doctor will discuss the likely outcome with you as part of your pre-procedure assessment

For most patients, any mark fades significantly over the weeks following the procedure.

Mole removal involves excision, skin tag removal is a quicker snip or cautery, both offered in Bishop's Stortford.
