Dermatology Consultation

A consultation with a dermatology and venereology specialist to assess skin, hair and nail concerns, examine moles or lesions and recommend treatment or further investigation. At Wegner Clinic dermatology underpins the laser and lesion-removal services — a dermatology review is required before laser removal of skin lesions — and the clinic offers dermoscopic mole checks, trichoscopic scalp assessment and biopsy with histopathology where needed.

A dermatology consultation at Wegner Clinic is an appointment with a dermatology and venereology specialist to evaluate concerns affecting the skin, hair or nails. The doctor takes a history, examines the area and explains the likely cause and the options — which may be medical treatment, an in-clinic procedure, a referral for further tests, or simply reassurance and monitoring. Because the clinic's laser and lesion-removal services are dermatology-led, a consultation is the required first step before any laser removal of skin lesions, ensuring that what is being treated has been properly assessed. For moles and pigmented spots the clinic offers dermoscopy, in which a handheld magnifier with polarised light is used to examine a lesion's structure more closely than the naked eye allows, helping decide whether it can be safely treated, should be monitored, or needs removal and laboratory analysis. Where a definitive diagnosis is needed, a skin biopsy with histopathology can be arranged. The clinic also offers trichoscopy — a magnified examination of the scalp and hair — for those concerned about hair thinning or scalp conditions. The consultation is suitable for anyone with a new, changing or symptomatic skin lesion, persistent rashes, acne, or hair and scalp concerns; the dermatologist sets out clear next steps and, where a procedure is appropriate, how it would be done and what it would cost.
