REAL RESULTS
What Our Clients Say
I made contact with Laser Skin Clinics to book a consultation for my xanthelasma (cholesterol deposits around the eyes) removal. I was impressed with the quick response. I had quite a few questions which were responded to in a timely manner. I was so unsure about the treatment that the clinician (Maxine) called me personally and put me at ease. I was booked in quite easily. On the morning of my appointment I was greeted professionally and taken in for my treatment. Maxine was professional and friendly and kept me calm which was great. I was happy with my completed treatment and the price. The venue was easy to locate and plenty of free parking was available. I was sent an email for the aftercare and the scabs were off on the 4th day!
I had a great experience at Skin Clinic Wolverhampton. The staff were friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout my treatment. The clinic was clean and welcoming, and I was very pleased with the results. Highly recommend to anyone looking for expert skincare treatments and excellent customer service.
Had some treatments done and already seeing results, Maxine is very professional and informative, she also has an amazing personality making you as comfortable as possible. Looking forwards for my next appointment with her.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
£85 per session, with your consultation included. Most patches are treated in a single session, and larger ones are sometimes staged over two visits for the safest result. We treat as much as we safely can each visit. If we don't remove at least one in your session, your next session is free.
Per session, and both eyelids can usually be treated in the same £85 visit. Larger patches are sometimes treated in stages for the safest cosmetic result; if that applies to you, we'll tell you upfront at your assessment.
Xanthelasma are deposits of fat (cholesterol) under the skin of the eyelids. They can occur with normal cholesterol, but raised lipids make them more likely, which is why we suggest a GP lipid check.
Yes, honestly, xanthelasma can recur over time, particularly if cholesterol levels stay raised. Managing lipids with your GP reduces that risk, and recurring patches can be retreated.
Short Wave Diathermy uses a very fine probe and is well suited to precise work on the eyelid area. We stage larger patches for safety.
Most clients feel a brief warm sting. The eyelid area is sensitive, so we work carefully and in stages where needed.
Yes, suitable cases are assessed and treated in the same visit.
The eyelid area typically heals well, with scabs detaching within 7 to 14 days. We stage larger patches to keep healing as clean as possible.
Scabs fall away within 7 to 14 days and the eye area settles over the following weeks.
No referral is needed, though we do recommend a GP cholesterol check alongside treatment. If a growth has changed in colour, shape or size, bleeds easily, or we are not certain what it is, we will recommend a GP or dermatologist check before any cosmetic removal. Your safety always comes first.
We accept card, cash and contactless payment at the clinic. Your consultation and assessment are included in the session price.
It suits most people, but we don't treat with diathermy if you have a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator, and we take extra care, or recommend waiting, during pregnancy and with skin prone to keloid scarring. All of this is checked at your on-the-day assessment, and if it isn't right for you, we'll tell you honestly.
