Qualifications & Experience

Mr Onur Gilleard is a distinguished consultant plastic surgeon on the GMC specialist register. He previously held an NHS consultant post at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, specialising in skin cancer and microsurgical reconstruction. In 2021, Mr Gilleard transitioned from the NHS to dedicate himself fully to private practice, allowing him to focus exclusively on providing personalised, high-quality care to his patients. He is recognised as an expert in laser treatments, having conducted research and developed advanced treatment protocols using cutting-edge laser technology to optimise both clinical outcomes and cosmetic results.

At London Skin Clinic, skin tag removal is a calm, same-day “see and treat” procedure performed by
a GMC-registered consultant plastic surgeon at our Harley Street clinic. You’re assessed, the growth is confirmed as
a harmless tag, and it’s removed cleanly — usually in one visit, under local anaesthetic where needed. Pricing is
transparent (£100 consultation, £200 first tag, £125 each additional). This page walks through exactly what your
visit involves, from booking to aftercare.

Your Visit, Step by Step

  1. Assessment — the consultant examines the growth and confirms it’s a skin tag.
  2. Plan and consent — the method and cost are explained.
  3. Removal — quick, by cryotherapy, electrosurgery, excision or laser, under local anaesthetic where needed.
  4. Aftercare — you leave the same day with clear advice.

“I had a tag removed and was really nervous, but the team made me feel so comfortable — it was such a simple, quick process. Would definitely recommend.”

Why Consultant-Led

Every removal is performed by a GMC-registered consultant plastic surgeon, not a technician — so the growth is
properly diagnosed (and analysed if there’s any doubt), removed with minimal scarring, and handled safely even in
delicate areas. The methods are explained in the complete skin tag guide.

Aftercare

Keep the area clean and dry, avoid picking, and watch for the uncommon signs of infection.
Most people return to normal activities immediately. Book your removal

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have my skin tag removed the same day at London Skin Clinic?
Yes — it’s a “see and treat” service, so most tags are assessed and removed in a single visit. Only occasionally, for example if a growth needs further analysis, is a follow-up arranged.
Who performs the removal?
A GMC-registered consultant plastic surgeon, at our Harley Street clinic. This means the growth is properly diagnosed and removed with attention to a clean, minimal-scar result — not treated by a non-medical technician.
How much does it cost?
£100 for the consultation, £200 for the first tag and £125 for each additional tag in the same visit. You’re given the full cost before any procedure.
