A dermatology consultation is a specialist appointment focused on diagnosing and managing conditions affecting the skin, hair, nails and scalp.
At LivingCare, our dermatology consultations offer a comprehensive, personalised approach. We help people understand and address both medical and cosmetic skin concerns through examinations and tests.
How Dermatology Consultations Work at LivingCare
Dermatology consultations at LivingCare follow a structured, patient-centred approach. Your specialist will review your symptoms, medical history and any previous treatments before examining the affected areas.
Your consultant can perform dermoscopy to examine your skin with magnification, allowing visualisation of structures under the skin which aren't visible to the naked eye. Diagnostic tests can be arranged if needed, including blood tests and skin biopsies under local anaesthetic. They’ll recommend appropriate treatments based on the findings of the tests.

Early assessment and accurate diagnosis support effective treatment and long-term skin health.
Before your appointment
Before attending your consultation, you need to complete a short health questionnaire. Prepare details of any medications, skincare products or previous treatments you have used.
During your appointment
During your appointment, the experienced dermatologist will discuss your symptoms and medical history and examine the affected areas. If needed, they’ll order tests such as biopsies or arrange treatments such as cryotherapy.
After your appointment
After your consultation, you have a clear understanding of your diagnosis and next steps. This may include treatment, skincare advice, monitoring, follow-up appointments or referral for further care.
We understand that early diagnosis helps support better outcomes and long-term skin health. That’s why we offer rapid access to consultations, diagnostic tests and treatment. From our modern facility in Sheffield, your consultant will give you personalised care plans and clear treatment pathways.
