As the largest organ of the human body, accounting for 15% of your overall body weight in total, the skin has several important roles to play. It acts as a protective covering and barrier to safeguard internal structures, keep germs and other contaminants out, and regulate your body temperature.

With such tasks and coverage, it should come as no surprise that the skin is prone to various health conditions. Here at SKINSCAR Clinic, we offer a selection of dermatology services to help you remedy several skin conditions and address your specific concerns.

Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition. It causes the accumulation of skin cells, with the rapid build-up causing thick, scaly patches to form on the skin.

Like eczema, there’s no cure for psoriasis, but there are numerous treatments to explore to make life more comfortable as a psoriasis sufferer. These include topical treatments, phototherapy, oral medication, biologic therapies, systemic treatments and lifestyle modifications.

Hair loss Treatment
The skin on your scalp needs the right care too, and this is just one aspect of the hair loss treatments we have available at SKINSCAR Clinic. Whether your hair loss is caused by genetics, hormonal fluctuations, a specific medical condition, stress, nutritional deficiencies or your hairstyling habits, we can devise an appropriate treatment plan.

Acne Treatment
While more synonymous with teenagers, acne is a common skin condition that affects individuals of all ages at all stages of life. It is the result of the hair follicles becoming clogged with oil and dead skin cells, with the formation of blemishes and subsequent, long term scarring troubling for many acne sufferers.

We offer a variety of acne treatments to remedy and relieve pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and cysts. From over the counter and prescription topical treatments and oral medications to personalised skincare routines and lifestyle changes, our experts are here for you.

Eczema Treatment
With 1 in 5 children and 1 in 10 adults experiencing eczema symptoms here in the UK, finding relief for dry, itchy, inflamed skin is a quest for so many. This common skin condition unfortunately has no cure, yet several treatments are available from our team to help manage symptoms successfully.

Skin Surgery
While often viewed as a skin treatment at the more extreme end of the scale, our skin surgery options are varied, wide ranging and particularly popular. From mole and skin tag removal to the excision of lipomas, cysts and warts, our skin surgery treatments have helped individuals from all walks of life.
These lumps and lesions are common and generally harmless, yet their development can cause mental and emotional distress to make them more than cosmetic concerns. With their treatment and removal, your confidence levels can be restored.
Others find moles, cysts, lipomas and warts uncomfortable additions, but with our help and surgical procedures, removal and recovery are simple and straightforward.

Skin cancer
Whether you’re seeking a first or second opinion, or exploring our skin cancer options for a speedier service, our expertise will prove invaluable. We offer skin cancer treatments from both of our locations, with our Cambridgeshire and Harley Street clinics providing solutions for basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and melanoma.
While not strictly a skin treatment, our skin check and cancer screening is a crucial part of our service. It offers a comprehensive examination and assessment of moles and any other concerning lesions, with digital recording and treatment planning coming as standard.

The cooler months may be officially upon us, but sun safety should still be on your mind. Contrary to popular belief, your skin needs protection from the dangers of the sun all year round, not just during summer, which means there’s no wrong time to introduce a sun safe skincare regime.

Accessorise with sun safety in mind
What you wear is another way to beat the heat and protect your skin from the sun. Covering up is a great defence, while UV protective clothing is also gaining popularity around the world. Whether your aim is to protect against the winter or summer sun, a hat, scarf or sunglasses can help shield your most sun sensitive parts.

Look to the long-term
Safeguarding your skin from the sun is a long term commitment that should be a serious part of your daily beauty routine. Build better habits like avoiding sunbeds, drinking more water, eating a balanced diet that’s rich in antioxidants and getting your skin checked regularly to put skin health first every time.

Apply the right product in the correct quantity
Correct use of sunscreen is another essential when protecting your skin from the sun. Go for a broad spectrum product that’s at least SPF 30 or higher, it’ll safeguard your skin against the rays that age (UVA) and burn (UVB). Many people use SPF moisturisers, especially in winter, to protect and hydrate at the same time.

Your sunscreen should be reapplied every couple of hours for the best results. It is recommended that you use an adequate amount to cover the face – this is about 1/3 of a teaspoon..

Remember, sunscreen isn’t just for holidays
The dangers of the sun are common knowledge, especially when it comes to those fine lines and wrinkles! Yes, sun damage causes premature ageing amongst other things, a fact that has seen the use of daily sunscreen explode in recent years.

If you’re not wearing sunscreen every day, why not? Applying SPF consistently is a must for your health and wellbeing. As well as preventing sunburn and reducing skin cancer risk, it protects the skin’s delicate protective barrier to strengthen defences from the inside out.

Skin cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancer types here in the UK, with the 100,000 new cases reported annually making it the 5th most common cancer. With recent reports that melanoma skin cancer cases in particular are at an all-time high, knowing more about your options post-diagnosis is important.
At SKINSCAR Clinic, we provide several treatments for skin cancer.
Melanoma
Melanoma is the most serious skin cancer, with its severity rated across four stages. With this, early detection and treatment is essential to stopping the spread and achieving a cancer-free result. Surgical removal is the first step, with additional surgery often required upon further analysis of the affected tissue. A margin of normal skin surrounding the melanoma is also removed as a precaution.
Prevent and detect with screening
Early detection is integral to successful treatment, whether you are concerned about Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) or melanoma. That’s why, alongside our skin cancer treatments, we also provide a skin check service, which can be used periodically to prevent and detect skin cancer and other issues.

With recent reports that melanoma skin cancer cases in particular are at an all-time high, knowing more about your options post-diagnosis is important.
At SKINSCAR Clinic, we provide several treatments for skin cancer.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) accounts for 75% of all skin cancer cases in the UK. This non-melanoma skin cancer is easy to treat in most cases and rarely spreads. As a result, it is not considered serious. It can however still cause damage if it is not treated early.
For people with BCC, surgical removal of the affected tissue provides the best results. The method of removal depends on the size and location of the BCC. We offer two types of surgical removal, namely surgical excision with pre-determined margins and Mohs surgery. Skin grafts and reconstruction may also be required as part of your BCC treatment.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
With a higher risk of spreading to other parts of the body and deeper tissues, Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is considered more serious. SCC is diagnosed using an incisional or excision biopsy, which is typically completed under local anaesthetic.
Following diagnosis, treatment is generally delivered in the form of surgery, with the removal of the SCC and a margin of normal skin surrounding it, again under local anaesthetic. The incision is then closed with stitches, with some patients requiring additional skin grafts.

Alongside our Harley Street based practice, our sites in Cambridgeshire are ready to welcome patients looking for accessible, ethical, consultant-delivered care for various skin conditions and scarring.
In this blog post, we introduce our two Cambridgeshire locations as well as the different types of treatments and services on offer.
The Day Clinic
Based just a stone’s throw away from Cambridge, Great Shelford is a charming village that is also home to The Day Clinic.

This includes mole, cyst and lipoma removal, surgical treatments that are among our most popular services and provide dramatic results for the affected individual.

Why you might benefit from our scar improvement treatment in Cambridgeshire?
Scars can be a psychologically painful reminder of a previous incident, condition or accident. They can also make you feel self-conscious, with even scars able to be concealed with clothing or makeup resulting in lasting damage to your confidence. Thankfully, scars don’t have to be with you for life. Contrary to popular belief, there are several treatment options to explore, including topical remedies like gels and steroid injections; other non-surgical solutions such as laser treatment and cryotherapy; and surgical revision or refashioning.
Here at SKINSCAR Clinic, we’ve already supported countless individuals in their quest to remove or improve their scars, and we’re here to help you. But who exactly could benefit from the scar improvement treatments we deliver from our Cambridgeshire based clinic?

While often mentioned in the same breath as keloid scarring, hypertrophic scars don’t outgrow the size of the original wound. They can still be unsightly and cause cosmetic upset for the affected individual however. For people with hypertrophic scars, our scar improvement treatments provide hope and resolutions.
Treatments range from topical solutions to surgical excision and refashioning, and provide fantastic results. As with all our scar improvement services, treatments are based on a tailormade plan that suits the individual.
You’ve previously had chickenpox
Chickenpox is something of a rite of passage for children, and whether impacted by this contagious condition as a child, teen or adult, the risk of developing stubborn scars after infection is very real. Chickenpox scars can be improved just like any other scar type. Their dented appearance is able to be refashioned into a shorter, flatter, less visible scar in most cases.
