OUR SERVICES
Prof. Hindocha provides specialist skin surgery — from cancer removal and scar revision to tattoo excision — with a focus on precise technique and outstanding cosmetic outcomes.
01 · SCAR REVISION
Whether caused by surgery, injury, burns or acne, problematic scars can be significantly improved. Prof. Hindocha offers advanced revision techniques tailored to your skin type and scar characteristics — surgical and non-surgical.
02 · SKIN CANCER
Prof. Hindocha provides specialist surgical removal of skin cancers with clear margins and full histological analysis. Where needed, immediate reconstruction achieves the best possible cosmetic outcome alongside the oncological clearance.
03 · TATTOO REMOVAL
For tattoos that cannot be adequately treated by laser alone, surgical excision offers a definitive solution. Prof. Hindocha carefully excises the tattoo and closes the wound to achieve the finest possible cosmetic scar.

Prof. Hindocha treats a wide range of skin lesions and conditions, from suspicious moles and skin cancers to benign cysts and growths. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical removal can be life-saving.
The most common form of skin cancer — highly treatable with early surgical excision and clear margins.
A UV-related skin cancer that requires prompt surgical removal and histological confirmation of clear margins.
The most serious form of skin cancer, requiring wide local excision and specialist MDT involvement for optimal outcomes.
Suspicious or changing moles are assessed using dermoscopy and removed with histological analysis.
Epidermal, pilar and sebaceous cysts — along with lipomas — removed cleanly under local anaesthetic.
Problematic scarring treated with excision and adjuvant therapy to minimise recurrence and improve appearance.
Most skin conditions are highly treatable when caught early. You should seek a surgical opinion promptly if you notice any of the following changes to a mole or skin lesion:
Most skin surgery procedures are performed as day-case procedures under local anaesthetic and take between 20 and 60 minutes. Here is what typically happens:
The area is examined, the lesion measured and the excision margins marked precisely before any incision.
A small injection of local anaesthetic numbs the area completely. Most patients feel only minimal discomfort.
The lesion is removed with appropriate margins. The wound is closed with fine sutures to minimise scarring.
All removed tissue is sent to a pathology laboratory. Results are typically available within 2 weeks.
Most patients recover quickly after skin surgery. Following Prof. Hindocha’s post-operative instructions carefully will give you the best possible scar outcome.
Keep the wound dry and covered. Avoid strenuous activity and direct sun exposure. Mild discomfort is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
Non-dissolvable sutures are typically removed 5 to 14 days after surgery, depending on the location. Facial sutures are removed earliest to minimise track marks.
Once healed, applying silicone gel and SPF 50 sunscreen daily significantly improves scar appearance. Scars continue to mature and fade for up to 18 months.
