These are the treatment areas Before I Book currently covers for private skin, dermatology and aesthetic clinic research.
Mole Removal
Advertised “from £150”, but histology and consultation fees add up. See what patients actually paid.
Skin Tag Removal
From £80 per tag sounds cheap. Per-tag pricing multiplies fast, so compare batch prices before booking.
Cyst Removal
Same-day removal sounds simple. Compare what the final bills really included: stitches, histology and follow-up.
Wart & Verruca Removal
The advertised price is per session, and stubborn warts need several. See what full courses actually cost.
Genital Warts
Private removal runs £295 to £800 per session. NHS sexual health clinics treat them free. Know both routes.
Lipoma Removal
“From £395” assumes the smallest, shallowest lump. Real bills range from £300 to £1,500 and beyond.
Birthmark Removal
Sessions start from £75, but courses run 4 to 10+ sessions. Compare total course costs, not session prices.
Scar & Keloid Treatment
Injections are priced per session and most keloids need a course. See what full treatment really costs.
Acne
What a private acne consultation really costs once prescriptions, tests and follow-ups are added.
Acne Scarring
Microneedling, laser, subcision, peels: what patients paid for each, and what they’d choose again.
Pigmentation & Melasma
Peels, IPL, laser, prescription creams: real costs and real recurrence experiences.
Hair Loss
PRP, prescriptions, consultations: what people actually paid, and whether they’d pay again.

Important note
Before I Book is not a medical advice service. Treatment suitability varies between individuals and depends on diagnosis, medical history, skin type, treatment goals and clinical assessment.
For symptoms, diagnosis, treatment advice, changing skin lesions, complications or urgent concerns, speak to a suitably qualified healthcare professional.
