Dermatology & Dermoscopy Consultation

A consultation with a dermatologist-venereologist for skin, hair and mole concerns, including dermoscopic assessment of suspicious lesions. The standard appointment includes dermoscopy of up to three moles, with a full-body skin check available separately. It is a sensible first step for changing moles, persistent skin complaints or before starting laser or peel treatments. Online dermatology consultations are also offered.

A dermatology and dermoscopy consultation at P & P Beauty Clinic is carried out by a dermatologist-venereologist and is the appropriate starting point for medical skin concerns rather than purely cosmetic ones. The doctor takes a history, examines the skin and uses a dermatoscope — a magnifying device with polarised light — to inspect moles and other lesions closely. The standard appointment includes dermoscopy of up to three moles; a full-body dermoscopic examination, which maps and assesses lesions across the whole body, is available as a separate service and is often advised for people with many moles, a family history of skin cancer or a lot of sun exposure. Based on the assessment the dermatologist may reassure you, recommend monitoring, arrange a biopsy or removal of a lesion, or propose treatment for conditions such as acne, rosacea, pigmentation or hair and scalp problems. Where a cosmetic treatment such as a laser or medical peel is being considered, the consultation is also used to confirm your skin is suitable and to plan settings safely. An online dermatology consultation is available for initial advice or follow-up. The aim is a clear understanding of any diagnosis and a practical plan for what to do next.
