What we treat
Eight conditions, and a room set up for each of them.
We are a dermatology clinic that happens to be comfortable, not a spa that happens to own a laser. If what you need is not on this list, we will say so and tell you who does it properly.
- Adult and adolescent acneRoom 2
- Rosacea and facial rednessRoom 4
- Melasma and post-inflammatory pigmentRoom 3
- Atrophic and surgical scarringRoom 4
- Sun damage and actinic changeRoom 3
- Eczema and barrier failureRoom 5
- Mole checks and skin cancer screeningRoom 1
- Hair loss and scalp diseaseRoom 3
The menu
Four we are known for. Every price is the whole price.
Nothing below has a consultation fee hidden inside it, an obligatory product bundle, or a “from” that turns into something else in the room.
- 01
The Mapping Consultation
Fifty minutes, three light sources and a fixed camera rig. You leave with a written protocol and a price, not a treatment you did not ask for.
- 02
Clarity Protocol
Medical acne management for adults: prescription-led, reviewed every three weeks, and photographed on the same rig so progress is measured rather than felt.
- 03
Pigment Reset
Melasma and post-inflammatory pigmentation, treated as a light and inflammation problem first. Slower than a laser, and it holds longer.
- 04
Vascular Laser
KTP 532nm for fixed facial vessels, rosacea erythema and the broken capillaries that no cream has ever reached.
Room 1. The rig has not moved since 2019, which is the only reason a comparison across six years means anything.
How a first visit runs
Four steps, in the same order, every time.
- 01
You send three photographs
Taken on your phone, in daylight, before you book. It takes four minutes and it means we can tell you if we are the wrong clinic before you have paid us anything.
- 02
Fifty minutes in Room 1
History, dermoscopy, a Wood's lamp, and four frames on the fixed rig. The examination is longer than the conversation, which is the correct way round.
- 03
A written protocol, inside 48 hours
Diagnosis, treatment, number of sessions, total cost at today's prices, and what happens if it does not work. In an email you can read twice and show to someone else.
- 04
You decide, without us in the room
Nobody calls you. If you want to book, you book. If the protocol was 'wear the sunscreen and come back in a year', that is a complete answer and the file stays open.
House rules
Six things this clinic will not do.
Most of these cost us money. They are on the website because a rule you cannot read before you book is not a rule, it is a preference.
- 01
No injectables on a first visit. A first visit is a diagnosis.
- 02
No packages, no pre-payment, no course you cannot leave at session three.
- 03
No treating a mole we have not photographed under dermoscopy first.
- 04
No before-and-after that moved the lights, the lens or the expression.
- 05
No laser on Fitzpatrick IV and above without a patch test seven days ahead.
- 06
No downtime quoted at its best case. You get the slow version of the number.
From a patient letter, kept with permission
“Three clinics had offered me laser for the marks on my cheeks. Dr Clavel spent two minutes with a torch, told me most of it was too deep to laser safely, and sent me away with a sunscreen and a prescription. It is eighteen months on and my face is the best it has been since I was twenty-five. I keep telling people about the appointment where nobody sold me anything.”
R. AdeyinkaPatient since March 2025
From the journal
The explaining we would rather do before you book.
Room 4 has a new laser, and a longer patch-test list
We have replaced the KTP platform in the laser room. Most of what changed is invisible to patients — except the part where more of you now need a patch test, and we think that is an improvement.
What a Wood's lamp actually shows
A £200 ultraviolet torch is the cheapest instrument in this clinic and it routinely changes a treatment plan by several thousand pounds. Here is what it is doing.
Retinoid, retinol, retinal: the only difference that matters is conversion
Three words used interchangeably on packaging, describing molecules that are between one and three enzymatic steps away from doing anything at all.

Bring the skin, not the diagnosis you found online.
£180, fifty minutes, and a written answer within two days — including, quite often, the answer that you do not need us.
