How it works
A clear, predictable three-step process.
You'll always know what you're paying — and what happens next — before any procedure is booked.
1
15-min assessment (£75)
Our GP examines the lesion, makes a diagnosis and talks you through your options — surgical or referral, with clear pricing.
2
Consider & consent
You'll have time to think it over. Your clinician will explain what's involved, the cost, and what aftercare looks like — before you commit.
3
Procedure & aftercare
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic. Aftercare — including dressing changes, stitch removal and antibiotics if needed — is included.
What we treat
Common lumps, bumps and lesions.
Our GPs assess and treat a wide range of skin and soft-tissue problems. Not sure if yours qualifies? Book an assessment and we'll tell you.
Lipomas
Soft fatty lumps that sit just under the skin.
Moles & naevi
Cosmetic or troublesome mole removal under local anaesthetic.
Skin tags
Removal of bothersome skin tags from any area of the body.
Warts & verrucae
Treatment for stubborn or painful warts and verrucae.
Blackheads & corns
Removal where they cause discomfort, infection or appearance issues.
Lumps & bumps
Anything unexplained that's bothering you — we'll diagnose first, then advise.
Acne & rosacea
Surgical and procedural support alongside our medical dermatology service.
Transparent pricing
Clear, no-surprises costs.
Two predictable stages — an assessment to diagnose what's there, and a procedure with aftercare priced upfront.
Initial assessment
15-minute appointment with our minor surgery GP — diagnosis, options and full quote.
£75
- Clinical diagnosis of the lesion
- Surgical or referral options explained
- Exact procedure cost & time confirmed
- Referral letter if we can't operate
The procedure
Carried out under local anaesthetic by an experienced minor surgery GP.
£200 – £800
- Procedure cost agreed at assessment
- Dressing changes & stitch removal included
- Antibiotics prescribed free if rare infection
- Multiple lesions in one session possible
Histology charges are separate. If a lesion needs to be sent to our laboratory partner for formal reporting, your clinician will discuss the additional cost before the procedure. Results typically take up to 3 weeks.
Popular cyst removal service
A fraction of the consultant price — same surgical outcome.
Cyst removal isn't routinely funded on the NHS, and procedures via consultant dermatologists in private hospitals can be very expensive. Patients regularly quote us £1,000–£2,000 from other providers.
Our clinicians have been performing minor surgery for almost 20 years. We favour minimally invasive techniques and offer the same reproducible, excellent surgical outcomes at a fraction of the cost.

Typical Duality cyst removal cost
£1,000+
Often quoted by consultant providers
We see and remove all kinds of cysts — most commonly sebaceous or epidermal cysts — nearly anywhere on the body. If your particular issue is better handled by a consultant, we'll say so and provide a referral letter to the most appropriate provider.

A practical middle ground.
Removing a lesion shouldn't mean a multi-month wait, or a £2,000 bill. Here's how the three options compare.
The NHS
Removes lesions for diagnostic, not aesthetic, reasons. Waiting lists are long and many patients don't qualify for removal at all.
Duality Healthcare
£75 assessment + £200–£800 procedure with aftercare included. Experienced GPs, fast access, no NHS-style waiting list.
Private consultant
Often £1,000–£2,000 for a single procedure. We'll refer to a consultant when it's clinically the right call, but most lumps don't need that route.
If we suspect cancer, we refer onwards
In line with national guidance, any lesion that looks potentially cancerous is referred to consultant colleagues for formal assessment and removal. We won't operate on suspected cancers ourselves — we'll arrange the right onward route for you.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions.
Which clinics offer minor surgery?
Minor surgery is currently available at our Newry, Omagh and Ballymena clinics, with clinics running at least once a week.
What's included in the procedure price?
The procedure cost (£200–£800) covers the surgery itself, local anaesthetic, and all standard aftercare — dressing changes, stitch removal and antibiotics prescribed free of charge in the rare case of an infection.
Histology charges (if a lesion needs to be sent for formal laboratory reporting) are separate and will be discussed before the procedure.
Can lesions be sent for pathology?
Yes. Anything removed can be sent to our laboratory partner for formal histological reporting by consultant colleagues. There's an additional cost, and results typically take up to 3 weeks.
Do you treat cancer?
No. If we feel a lesion is potentially cancerous, we refer it to our consultant colleagues for formal assessment and removal — in line with national guidance. We'll give you a referral letter for the most appropriate provider.
Will the procedure hurt?
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic before the procedure begins, so you shouldn't feel pain — only mild pressure or tugging. The injection of local anaesthetic can sting briefly. Your GP will talk you through everything before starting.
Can I get multiple lesions removed in one session?
Often, yes. The procedure price (£200–£800) reflects the complexity and number of lesions. Your GP will confirm exactly what's possible at the £75 assessment.
What happens if you can't operate on me?
If your problem isn't suitable for our minor surgery service — perhaps because of the location of the lesion, its size, or because we suspect something more concerning — we'll arrange a referral letter to the most appropriate provider, free of charge after your assessment.
Don't let lumps and bumps get you down.
Book a £75 assessment with one of our minor surgery GPs at Newry, Omagh or Ballymena. We'll diagnose, discuss your options, and give you a clear price before you commit to anything.
