About This Service
What is a Dermatologist Consultation?
A private dermatologist consultation at The One Clinic is a specialist-level skin assessment for complex or persistent skin conditions that require expert evaluation. Our dermatologists diagnose, investigate, and manage conditions that are beyond standard GP-level care , whether that is a stubborn inflammatory skin condition, a suspicious lesion, or a hair or nail disorder that has not responded to first-line treatment.
We offer skin biopsies, patch testing, dermoscopy, and access to prescription-only treatments including topical agents, oral medications, and biologic referrals , all in one clinic with no waiting lists.
