Common questions

How much does dermatology cost in the UK?

Across 7 real UK prices, the median is £325, ranging from £60 to £600. These are published prices and bills people actually paid, not estimates.

Why do dermatology prices vary so much?

Private hospitals set their own self-pay prices, and the consultant's fee is usually separate from the hospital's. The same operation can differ by thousands between providers and regions.

How can I pay less for dermatology?

Get fixed-price self-pay quotes from two or three hospitals, ask whether the consultant fee and follow-ups are included, and check independent clinics as well as the big groups.
