Skin Tag, Mole & Keratosis Removal at Mariko Clinic

Skin tags, benign moles and seborrhoeic keratoses are extremely common. Whilst they are usually harmless, they can be unsightly, catch on clothing, sit in prominent areas such as the face or eyelids, and understandably cause distress or loss of confidence.

The NHS no longer routinely removes skin lesions for cosmetic reasons. At Mariko Clinic, we offer a bespoke private minor surgical service for the assessment and removal of skin tags, benign moles and keratoses.

Every client is first given a full clinical assessment. If there is any concern that a lesion may be suspicious or require further investigation, you will be referred promptly back to your GP for onward management.
If the lesion is confirmed as purely cosmetic, removal can be safely performed in clinic.

We use minor surgical techniques only — we do not use cryotherapy. This allows for precise removal, excellent cosmetic outcomes and appropriate wound management.
All procedures are carried out by Ian Felix, who trained in minor surgery within the NHS, ensuring high clinical standards and patient safety.

Working alongside Ian is Claire Felix, who is trained in wound care and post-procedural management. Claire plays a key role in ensuring wounds are cleansed, dressed appropriately and monitored carefully, supporting optimal healing throughout your recovery.

A full aftercare package is provided. Where suturing is required, you will be invited back to Mariko Clinic approximately 10 days later for stitch removal and review, ensuring continuity of care through to full healing.

Hayfever season starts earlier than many people realise.

Although spring is still a few weeks away, pollen levels often begin to rise from early March, and for many sufferers, hayfever symptoms can start sooner than expected.

Early symptoms may include:
• Sneezing and nasal congestion
• Itchy, watery eyes
• Sinus pressure
• Fatigue and poor sleep

At Mariko Clinic, we offer a clinically delivered hayfever treatment designed to help manage seasonal allergic symptoms effectively throughout the pollen season.

In most cases, one treatment is sufficient to provide relief for the entire hayfever season.
Very occasionally, a second treatment may be required, but this is uncommon.

✔ Cost: £65
✔ Treatment delivered following appropriate clinical assessment
✔ Carried out by Ian Felix, Clinical Practitioner with over 40 years’ experience

Planning treatment before peak pollen levels can help reduce symptom severity once the season begins.

Musculoskeletal Care | Physiotherapy | Sports Massage

At Mariko Clinic, musculoskeletal health is at the heart of what we do — restoring movement, reducing pain, and helping our patients return to living well.

Founded and owned by Ian Felix, Mariko Clinic is built on an exceptional depth of clinical expertise. With 44 years of hands-on experience, Ian has treated over 950,000 patients across both NHS and private practice, helping thousands of individuals regain mobility, function, and confidence in their bodies.

• Acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain

George works with us on a part-time basis, offering both physiotherapy and sports massage, bringing fresh clinical insight combined with strong foundations in evidence-based practice.

Together, Ian and George form an invaluable clinical team, delivering care that is:
✔️ Patient-led
✔️ Individually tailored
✔️ Evidence-informed
✔️ Focused on long-term outcomes

At Mariko Clinic, every treatment plan begins with listening. We believe the highest quality care comes from understanding the patient first — their goals, their lifestyle, and their unique presentation — ensuring treatment is precise, purposeful, and effective.

Dry Cupping Therapy | Evidence-Informed Pain Relief

Dry cupping is a therapeutic technique used to support pain relief, reduce muscle tension, and improve local circulation. Using specialist cups, a controlled vacuum is created over targeted areas of the body, gently lifting the skin and underlying tissues.

How dry cupping works:
• The negative pressure increases local blood flow and oxygen delivery
• Helps reduce myofascial tightness and muscle guarding
• Supports lymphatic drainage and removal of metabolic waste
• Stimulates the nervous system, often reducing pain sensitivity

Clinical benefits may include:
• Relief from muscular and myofascial pain
• Reduced stiffness and improved mobility
• Support for chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain
• Enhanced recovery following injury or repetitive strain

Dry cupping is commonly used alongside physiotherapy and manual therapy as part of a comprehensive pain-management approach. Treatment is tailored following a full clinical assessment to ensure it is safe, appropriate, and effective for each individual.

✨ Why PDO Threads Are Becoming One of Our Most Requested Treatments ✨

PDO thread treatments have seen a huge rise in popularity — and for good reason.

With the increasing use of medical weight-loss injections, many clients are achieving incredible results. Significant weight loss can be life-changing and empowering… but it can also leave behind loose or sagging skin, particularly around the face, jawline, and lower cheeks, where fat loss is often most noticeable.

This is where PDO threads come in.

PDO (polydioxanone) threads are carefully placed beneath the skin to lift and reposition sagging tissue, restoring structure and support where it has been lost. The immediate effect is a subtle but visible lift — but the real magic happens over time.

As the threads slowly dissolve, they stimulate your body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen. This collagen forms supportive “rods” or a scaffold beneath the skin, helping to improve firmness, skin quality, and elasticity long after the threads themselves have gone.

✨ Immediate lift
✨ Progressive tightening
✨ Improved skin texture
✨ Results that continue to develop for up to 24 months

PDO threads don’t create a “pulled” or overdone look. Instead, they work with your own anatomy to restore structure, definition, and confidence — making them an ideal option for post-weight-loss facial support.

💋 Lip Enhancement: Art, Not Imitation

We’ve all heard it…
“I want Russian lips.”
“I want pop-star lips.”
“I want those lips.”

But here’s the truth 👀
Lip enhancement isn’t a copy-and-paste procedure — and it’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all treatment.

Every face is different.
Every mouth is asymmetrical.
Your bone structure, muscle movement, smile, proportions, makeup style — all completely unique to you.

True lip enhancement starts long before the needle goes anywhere near your lips. It starts with artistry. An experienced aesthetic eye that can assess your face as a whole — measuring balance, harmony, and proportion between the eyes, nose, lips, and jaw.

What looks stunning on one person could look completely wrong on another… and that’s where expertise matters.

At Mariko Clinic, Ian Felix combines a deep understanding of facial anatomy, muscle dynamics, and movement with an artistic approach to aesthetics. He understands how your lips move when you smile, talk, laugh — and how enhancement should complement that, not fight against it.

You won’t be told what to do.
Instead, you’ll work together — as a team — to create a bespoke plan that suits your anatomy, your features, and your goals.

Because the best lips aren’t the ones everyone else has…
They’re the ones that look like you — just beautifully enhanced ✨

💥 WAIT FOR IT… 💥
👀
👂
💥 POP! 💥

That sound isn’t fake.
That reaction isn’t staged.
And no… nothing is breaking 😮‍💨

So what’s all the noise about?

When a neck is adjusted properly, tiny gas bubbles inside the joint release — creating that loud, oh-so-satisfying crack.
✨ Less tension
✨ Improved movement
✨ Relief you can hear

Let’s be honest…
That pop?
👉 Illegal levels of satisfaction.

⚠️ REAL TALK (READ THIS BIT) ⚠️
Neck cracking is NOT something to try at home or copy from videos.
This must only ever be performed by a fully qualified healthcare professional following a full clinical assessment.
Your neck is precious — treat it that way.

✨ Screw Thread Face-Lift ✨

When you work at Mariko Clinic… it would be rude not to, wouldn’t it? 😌
Practice what we preach and all that.

Screw threads are a non-surgical face-lifting treatment designed to subtly lift, tighten and rejuvenate the skin without the need for surgery or significant downtime.

So how do they work?

Screw threads are fine, medical-grade PDO threads that are gently inserted into the skin using a fine needle or cannula following a full consultation. Once placed, they create an immediate tightening effect, but the real magic happens over time.

As the threads sit within the tissue, your body responds by producing new collagen around them. This forms tiny “rods” of collagen — acting like internal scaffolding to support and strengthen the skin. Even after the threads naturally dissolve, that newly formed collagen remains, leaving the area firmer, smoother and more supported.

✨ The result?
Improved skin texture, enhanced firmness and a natural, refreshed lift.

Screw threads are incredibly versatile and can be used on:
• Face
• Neck
• Jawline
• Cheeks
• Under-eye area
• Décolletage
• Body areas where skin laxity or crepey skin is a concern

All treatments at Mariko Clinic are bespoke, clinically led and designed to enhance your natural features — never to overdo them.

Skin Tag, Mole & Seborrhoeic Keratosis Removal at Mariko Clinic

At Mariko Clinic, we provide medical-grade removal of skin tags, moles and seborrhoeic keratoses at both our Stourbridge and Worcester clinics, performed by Mr Ian Felix.

All procedures are carried out using minor surgical techniques rather than cryotherapy. This allows for greater precision, controlled removal, and optimal wound management, particularly for lesions that require careful handling due to size, location, or depth.

🔬 Clinical Consultation & Examination
A full consultation and clinical examination of the area is essential prior to any procedure. During this appointment, the lesion will be assessed for suitability, medical history will be reviewed, and the most appropriate treatment approach will be discussed. No treatment is undertaken without a thorough assessment and informed consent.

💉 Procedure Details
• Procedures are performed under local anaesthetic to ensure comfort
• Minor surgical excision may be used depending on the lesion
• In some cases, suturing may be required
• Where non-dissolvable sutures are used, stitch removal typically takes place around 10 days post-procedure

🩹 Aftercare & Ongoing Support
Following your treatment, you will be provided with a comprehensive aftercare package, including clear written instructions to support optimal healing.
For added reassurance, we offer 24/7 telephone access to the clinic for the first three days following your procedure, should you have any concerns or questions.

Our approach is clinical, patient-focused and safety-led, ensuring every treatment is bespoke and carried out to the highest professional standards.

📍 Available at:
• Mariko Clinic – Stourbridge
• Mariko Clinic – Worcester

This February, treat yourself — or someone you love — to clinically led skin rejuvenation, designed to enhance natural features, restore confidence and support long-term skin health.

At Mariko Clinic, we focus on skin integrity, facial balance and natural results, not over-treatment or unnecessary volume.

This package includes:
• 3 areas of Botulinum Toxin (Botox)
• 1 Polynucleotide skin booster treatment
• 1 Medical microneedling session

The microneedling treatment includes a bespoke medical-grade skin product, selected on the day following consultation and skin assessment. This may be targeted towards concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, dehydration, acne, scarring, pigmentation or overall skin rejuvenation.

Treatment plan & spacing:
This package is delivered over two clinically appropriate sessions.
• Session one includes consultation, Botox and the polynucleotide skin booster
• Session two, approximately 3–4 weeks later, includes the medical microneedling treatment

This staged approach allows each treatment to work optimally and ensures safe, effective and long-lasting results.

Usual value: £500+
