Treatments

I check every mark with a dermatoscope first. If something isn't right for me to treat, I'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.

Cryotherapy

A precise, controlled freeze that lets the treated spot crust and fall away over the following weeks.

  • Skin tags
  • Warts and verrucas
  • Seborrhoeic keratoses
  • Age spots and sun spots

Most treatments take a few minutes, with a short sting while it freezes.

ThermaVein

Not a laser. A very fine insulated probe delivers heat directly into each tiny vein, sealing it with very little effect on the skin around it.

  • Red thread veins
  • Spider veins
  • Broken capillaries
  • Small red spots

It treats individual veins and red spots, not general redness or flushing.

Ear wax microsuction

Gentle medical suction with my HospiVac 400, using magnification so I can see inside your ear the whole time. No water is used.

  • Blocked or muffled ears from wax
  • Wax build-up from hearing aids or earbuds
  • One or both ears, same price
  • Advice on keeping your ears clear

Ear pain, discharge or sudden hearing loss? Speak to your GP or call 111 first.

Private chest clinic

A chesty cough that won't shift can be checked without waiting for a GP appointment.

  • Full assessment
  • Chest examination
  • Oxygen level, temperature and pulse checks
  • A clear plan and a follow-up call

Ages 16 and over. Severe breathlessness, chest pain or coughing up blood? Call 999.

Questions

How much does skin tag removal cost?

Small skin tags start from £40 on my special offer until 28 February, and over Christmas you can have up to 10 small skin tags treated for £99 or up to 20 for £149. Larger tags are priced fairly after your free initial check.

Does cryotherapy hurt?

Most people describe a short sting for a few seconds while the area is frozen. It's quick, and most people go straight back to their day.

Is ThermaVein a laser?

No. Laser and IPL shine light through the skin. ThermaVein uses a very fine insulated probe to deliver heat directly into each tiny vein, sealing it with very little effect on the skin around it.

Can ThermaVein treat rosacea?

ThermaVein treats the individual thread veins and red spots that often come with rosacea, not the general redness or flushing. If your skin is flaring, I'll suggest settling it first, usually with your GP's help.

Do you remove moles?

Moles are best checked and removed by a doctor so they can be sent off for testing. If anything I see looks uncertain, I'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.

Do you treat children?

Yes, I treat warts and verrucas in children, with a parent or guardian present to give consent. I'll talk you both through what to expect first.

Do you do home visits?

Yes. I visit homes along the A120 between Colchester and Bishop's Stortford, including Coggeshall, Braintree and Dunmow. There's a small extra charge depending on where you are.

How much is ear wax microsuction?

£60 for one or both ears. It's done with my HospiVac 400 medical suction unit, with no water, and I can see inside your ear throughout.

Do I need to do anything before microsuction?

Use olive oil drops in the affected ear twice a day for three to five days beforehand. Softer wax comes away more easily and comfortably.

How do I get a price?

Send me a clear photo in daylight on WhatsApp and I'll give you an honest opinion and a price. Every skin treatment starts with a free initial check before anything is done.
