Surgeries
Lipoma Removal
Lipoma removal is typically a straightforward outpatient procedure, usually performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon will make a small incision over the lipoma, carefully remove the lump, and close the incision with stitches. Larger lipomas may require general anesthesia.
Here’s a more detailed look at the process:
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is most common, numbing the area around the lipoma while you are awake. General anesthesia may be used for larger lipomas.
Incision: The surgeon will make a small incision, usually over the lipoma.
Lipoma Removal: The lipoma is gently separated from surrounding tissue and removed.
Closure: The incision is closed with stitches.
Recovery: Most people can return to normal activities within a few days.
Scarring: A small scar is expected, but it usually fades over time.
Recurrence: Lipomas rarely return after they have been removed.

Folliculitis Removal
Folliculitis is a common skin condition characterized by inflammation and infection of hair follicles. It often appears as small, red bumps or pimples around the hair follicles, and can be itchy, sore, and painful. While mild cases typically heal on their own, more severe or persistent infections may require medical treatment.
Symptoms:
1. Red bumps: Small, red, or white-headed bumps around hair follicles.
2. Itching or burning: The affected area may feel itchy or burn.
3. Pain or tenderness: The bumps may be painful or tender.
4. Pus: Some bumps may contain pus.
5. Crusting: In some cases, the bumps may crust over.
Causes:
Bacterial infection: Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause. Fungal infection: Tinea barbae is a type of folliculitis caused by a fungal infection. Irritation: Rubbing, friction, or shaving can irritate the hair follicles and make them more susceptible to infection. Hot tubs or swimming pools: Certain bacteria, like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, can cause folliculitis in hot tubs or swimming pools.
Treatment:
Mild cases: Self-care, such as applying warm compresses and over-the-counter antibiotic creams, may be sufficient. Severe or persistent cases: Prescription antibiotics or other medications may be needed. Preventative measures: Avoiding irritation, using mild skincare products, and practicing good hygiene can help prevent folliculitis.
Symptoms:

Boil Removal
Boil removal typically involves draining the pus-filled area, often by a medical professional, to allow the boil to heal. This can involve using warm compresses to help the boil naturally drain, or for larger boils, a surgeon may make a small incision to drain the pus. After incision After Incision the wound may be packed with gauze to help absorb remaining pus. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed, especially if the boil is large, deep, or if the infection is spreading.
After Care:
Cleanliness: Keep the area clean with antibacterial soap and water, especially after draining or if pus is present.
Covering: Cover the boil with a sterile bandage or dressing to protect it from infection.
Warm Compresses: Continue using warm compresses to promote drainage.
Avoid Squeezing: Never squeeze or pop a boil, as this can worsen the infection and spread bacteria.
Pain Relief: Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen can help with pain.
Hygiene: Wash hands frequently, especially after touching the boil.
Laundry: Wash towels and bedding in hot water.

Carbuncles Removal
Price From £250 to £750 (Price on consultation)
Abscesses
Abscess removal, or incision and drainage, involves surgically opening an abscess to release pus and allow it to drain. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and involves making an incision in the skin over the abscess, followed by washing out the pus and cleaning the area. The wound is then left open to allow further drainage and healing.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Procedure:
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is usually used for skin abscesses, numbing the area around the abscess. For deeper or more sensitive abscesses, a general anesthetic may be needed. Incision: A small cut is made in the skin over the abscess to allow the pus to escape. Drainage: The pus is drained from the abscess cavity, and the area is cleaned. Wound Management: The wound is left open to allow continuous drainage. For larger or deeper abscesses, a packing dressing may be used to help keep the wound open and promote drainage, according to NHS Bradford Teaching Hospitals. Antibiotics: Antibiotics may be prescribed to help prevent or treat infection.
WHAT IS AFTERCARE?
Wound Care: The patient will need to keep the wound clean and dry. Pain Relief: Pain relief medication may be needed after the procedure. Follow-up: A follow-up appointment with the doctor may be scheduled to ensure proper healing.
WHAT IS POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS?
While abscess drainage is generally a safe procedure, some potential complications can include infection, bleeding, or scar formation. The risk of recurrence is also possible, but it is usually low if the abscess is completely drained and treated appropriately.

How long does the treatment take?
We would recommend booking around 30 minutes from your schedule to allow enough time for the practitioner to fully consult with you, as well as numb the area in preparation for the treatment. You will be able to go back to your usual daily activities directly following treatment.
