Minor Operations
Comfortable minor surgical procedures carried out under local anaesthetic in a clean, private clinical setting.
Who it’s for
Patients needing removal of moles, cysts, lipomas, skin tags or other lesions, a biopsy, a vasectomy, or vein treatment (sclerotherapy).
Minor operations are carried out under local anaesthetic, so the area is numb and most people feel only mild pressure. We assess you first, talk through the procedure and any risks, and give you clear aftercare advice to take home.
