​Minor Skin Surgery Pricing

No. Our pricing is transparent and includes all necessary clinical fees. You’ll receive a full breakdown after your consultation, with no unexpected charges. Should further treatment be recommended following pathology results, this will be discussed with you at your follow-up consultation, and pricing based on the treatment required. However, there are some instances in which our histopathology partners will recommend additional diagnostic or prognostic testing (see histopathology below). These additional costs are always discussed with you prior to authorising the supplementary tests.

The tables above show indicative pricing for common procedures such as skin cancer excision, benign lesion excision, and skin tag removal. Final costs are confirmed at your consultation, based on the size, complexity, and location of the treatment area. The below guidance may help you understand what you are likely to be charged: Minor: small lesions on the limbs or trunk, without additional complexity. Standard: larger lesions on the limbs or trunk; small lesions on the face, head or neck (not including specialist sites). Complex: very large lesions; large facial, head or neck lesions; lesions involving complex sites (e.g. eyelid, lip, nasal tip, ear); lesions requiring specialist reconstruction or complex wound closure following excision.

All patients undergoing surgical treatment at Glasgow Skin Specialists will be offered a complimentary follow-up appointment, which is included in the procedure fee. This will usually take place a week following your operation and include a wound review, removal of sutures and discussion of pathology results. Some conditions, such as melanoma, require regular follow-up reviews, and the fee for these will be discussed with you by your surgeon.

Yes - basic histopathology testing, worth £185 per specimen, is included in all lesions excised, including moles, cysts and skin cancers. However, there are occasions when additional diagnostic or prognostic testing is required for some cancerous or borderline lesions, particularly for more advanced melanoma skin cancers. These tests may incur additional costs, but your permission will always be sought prior to Glasgow Skin Specialists authorising the additional tests with the lab.
