Yes. Minor surgery under local anaesthetic is very safe when performed by experienced clinicians. As with any procedure, small risks such as bleeding, infection or scarring can occur — these will be fully discussed beforehand.

Most patients report minimal discomfort. Local anaesthetic is used to numb the area. You may feel pressure but not sharp pain.

Most procedures take 15–30 minutes. We ask patients to remain for 10 minutes of observation afterwards.
Most patients resume normal activities the same day or within 24 hours, depending on the procedure.
Any procedure that breaks the skin will leave a small scar. However, we use techniques to minimise scarring. Scars usually fade significantly over time.
Histology results typically take up to 6 weeks. You will be contacted when results arrive. A copy can be sent to your GP (with consent). No extra charge to discuss results.
No referral is required. You can book a GP appointment, or complete our Free Assessment Request.
