When you discover a new skin lesion or notice a change in an existing mole, finding a prompt and professional solution is a priority. While many skin issues are harmless, they can cause physical discomfort or emotional distress. The Private Medical Group offers a dedicated skin surgery service in Kent, providing high-quality, GP-led surgical care. This allows you to bypass long waiting lists and receive expert treatment in a modern clinical setting.

Tailored Surgical Solutions

Skin surgery covers a range of procedures performed under local anaesthetic. Usually, they do not require an overnight stay in hospital. At our clinics, we focus on safe, minimally invasive treatments that prioritise both your health and the aesthetic outcome.

We offer surgical intervention for a variety of conditions, including:

• Skin Lesion Excision: The complete removal of a lesion, removing the growth along with a small margin of healthy skin.
• Shave Removal: An ideal technique for raised benign moles or skin tags where the surgeon shaves the lesion down to the level of the surrounding skin.
• Skin Biopsy: A diagnostic procedure where a small sample of a lesion or rash is removed for laboratory analysis.
• Cryotherapy: Using extreme cold to destroy and remove superficial lesions such as warts and some precancerous marks.
• Low-Risk Skin Cancer Removal: We perform excisions for low-risk skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinomas, ensuring the area is treated with clinical precision.

Professional Care with a Personal Touch

Our skin surgery services are overseen by experienced local GP specialists. Dr Robert White is a General Practitioner with an Extended Role in Dermatology and Skin Surgery. Dr Jonathan Webster has over 10 years of experience in minor skin surgery. They are trained in safe, evidence-based surgical techniques and place a strong emphasis on patient comfort.

During your procedure, a local anaesthetic is injected around the lesion to numb the area. While the initial injection might sting slightly, the area will be completely numb throughout the surgery. Most procedures take between 30 and 60 minutes. We use careful techniques to ensure the resulting scar is as neat as possible. In almost all cases, the removed tissue is sent to a specialist laboratory for analysis, and we communicate the results to you directly.
