Skin Problems and Dermatology
Here for you and your skin
Whatever skin problems you may have, our team at The Wye Clinic offers excellence in the assessment and treatment of a wide range of dermatological conditions. This includes worrying or changing moles and all forms of skin cancer, a problem that is sadly becoming more and more common.
Treatments
All kinds of skin problems can be assessed at The Wye Clinic. If your condition needs a biopsy, or perhaps surgical treatment, you have our assurance that this will all take place within the luxurious surroundings of the clinic. We also guarantee that all treatments carried out at The Wye Clinic will be with a local anaesthetic, with no need for costly general anaesthetic procedures. Where medication is needed, our consultants will be delighted to issue you with a prescription. As with all treatments available at The Wye Clinic, finance options for your surgery are available.
Excellence in skin care
Herefordshire is lucky to be home of some of the leading dermatologists in the country. Their clinical expertise, coupled with the outstanding facilities on offer at The Wye Clinic, means that a quick diagnosis and successful treatment is to be expected. There is no need to wait and no need to see our GP first for a referral; simply access the care you want when you need it.
Aesthetic treatments
If your concern is more an aesthetic one, perhaps some skin wrinkles or laugher lines, our aesthetic team would be delighted to see you for an assessment, possibly for Botox therapy or consideration of cosmetic surgery.
Central location with Finance options available
You will easily find us in central Hereford with plenty of on-site parking, very close to the new development, Old Market Shopping Centre & Waitrose. There is no need for a referral, nor do you need to have private medical insurance and finance options are available for all our procedures, if required. Click here for more information.
