Medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology

Consultant dermatology — for the mole you are worried about, and everything after it

Halcyon is a dermatology clinic. We diagnose and treat conditions of the skin, hair and nails — acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and skin cancer — and offer the cosmetic treatments that follow a proper assessment rather than replace one.

Skin conditions

Skin conditions we treat

What each condition is, how it presents, and what treatment realistically achieves.

01
Moles and skin cancer
The reason to have something checked early rather than watch it for another year.
02
Acne
Not confined to teenagers, and treatable well beyond over-the-counter products.
03
Eczema and dermatitis
Itchy, inflamed, broken skin — with several distinct causes that need distinguishing.
04
Psoriasis
A long-term immune condition of the skin, with treatments that have changed considerably.
05
Rosacea
Persistent facial redness, flushing and bumps — commonly mistaken for adult acne.
06
Pigmentation and melasma
Patches of darker skin from sun, hormones or previous inflammation.
07
Hair loss
Several distinct conditions, some reversible and some where speed of assessment matters.
08
Lines, laxity and sun damage
Changes that are cosmetic rather than medical — and where honest expectations matter most.

Technology

What we treat with

What we treat and diagnose with, and what each of them means for you.

Digital dermoscopy and mole mapping

Magnified, polarised imaging of lesions, stored for comparison.

Change over time is measured rather than remembered, which is what finds melanoma early.

Fractional resurfacing laser

Creates controlled columns of injury that trigger remodelling.

Improves acne scarring and texture that creams cannot reach.

Vascular laser

Targets haemoglobin in small vessels without damaging surrounding skin.

Treats the visible redness of rosacea, which topical treatment does not.

Narrowband UVB cabinet

Precisely dosed ultraviolet B for psoriasis and eczema.

A hospital-grade treatment without a hospital appointment, with lifetime dose recorded.

Standardised clinical photography

The same lighting, distance and angle at every visit.

Before-and-after comparisons that mean something.

What each treatment involves, how many sessions it takes, and what the downtime actually is.

Fees

Prices

Consultation and treatment are priced separately

You pay for the consultation, and treatment is quoted after it. Nothing is sold in the same appointment it was recommended in.

Medical dermatology and insurance

Most insurers cover medical dermatology with a GP referral and prior authorisation. Cosmetic treatment is not covered by any of them.

Course pricing

Where a treatment needs a course, the course price is quoted along with the per-session price, so the total is clear from the start.

Histology

The laboratory fee for anything removed is included in the surgical price. There is no separate bill afterwards.
