Our dermatology services begin with thorough diagnostic investigations to assess the specific dermatological needs of each patient. We utilise a range of diagnostic procedures and tests, including:
- In-house Cytology: Our dermatology team may take hair plucks or samples for cytology during the consultation to allow rapid diagnosis and to formulate the most appropriate treatment plans.
- Allergy testing: Comprehensive allergy testing is conducted to identify environmental and food allergies, allowing for targeted treatment plans to be implemented.
- Skin biopsies: Advanced techniques are employed to perform skin biopsies, aiding in the diagnosis of skin conditions such as tumours, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory disorders.
- Intradermal testing: Intradermal testing is utilised to identify allergens contributing to skin diseases, facilitating personalised treatment strategies.
Thorough investigations are essential in identifying and addressing dermatological conditions, allowing us to tailor our approach to each patient's specific needs.
