Skin Cancer Clinic Overview

Our private Edinburgh skin cancer service is provided by a specialist regularly treating complex cases in the NHS.

Private Skin Cancer Removal in Edinburgh

Welcome to our Edinburgh skin cancer service. Plastic surgeons are typically called upon to treat skin cancers in areas where cosmetic outcomes are particularly important or when more intricate reconstruction is necessary.

We frequently receive referrals for skin cancer patients from our dermatology colleagues or GPs. We offer surgical removal of skin cancers such as Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and Melanoma. Our goal is to completely excise the tumour while preserving both function and appearance. Additionally, we are well-prepared to handle any required reconstruction, including skin grafts or local flaps.

Skin Cancer Treatment Options

We provide a range of treatments for skin cancer in Edinburgh, personalised to fit the specific needs of each patient. Our mission is to deliver effective treatments that ensure both patient comfort and the best possible cosmetic results. Below are the treatment options we offer:

  • Non Surgical: Topical Treatment

    We use medical creams and gels designed to target and eliminate cancer cells. These non-invasive treatments are ideal for cancers located on the surface of the skin and are known for their minimal side effects.

  • Surgical: Excision

    This method involves surgically removing the cancerous growth along with a small portion of the surrounding healthy tissue. It is an effective strategy for thoroughly treating various skin cancers.

  • Surgical: Electrosurgery

    This approach combines the physical removal of cancerous cells through scraping with the application of electrical currents to destroy any remaining cells. This method is particularly effective for treating small, superficial skin cancers while maintaining a good cosmetic outcome.
