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. Check published prices and potential add-on fees.
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 published fees and ask whether stitches, histology and follow-up are included.
Wart & Verruca Removal
The advertised price is per session, and stubborn warts need several. Check the possible cost of multiple sessions.
Genital Warts
Compare private treatment prices and the possible NHS sexual health service route.
Lipoma Removal
Prices vary with size and complexity. Compare published rates and possible extras.
Birthmark Removal
Compare session fees and ask about the likely total number of treatments.
Scar & Keloid Treatment
Injections are priced per session and most keloids need a course. Ask about likely course length and total charges.
Acne
What a private acne consultation really costs once prescriptions, tests and follow-ups are added.
Acne Scarring
Compare prices for microneedling, laser, subcision and peels.
Pigmentation & Melasma
Compare published prices for peels, IPL, laser and prescription skincare.
Hair Loss
Compare published costs for PRP, prescriptions and specialist consultations.

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.
