Dermatology Consultation.

Medical skin consultation — doctor-led assessment, individual treatment suitability review.

Skin consultation

Medical approach to skin conditions.

LP Clinic offers medical dermatology consultations alongside its hair restoration services. The approach is diagnosis-led — a qualified specialist assesses the skin condition, confirms what treatment (if any) is appropriate, and develops an individual plan.

This page describes the consultation approach in general terms. The clinic team responds individually and explains which services are suitable for your case.

Consultation approach

What a dermatology consultation involves.

  1. 01

    Initial assessment

    You describe your concern — via WhatsApp or in person. Photographs may be shared (only after privacy consent). The medical team reviews the information before responding.

  2. 02

    Medical evaluation

    A qualified specialist evaluates the skin condition. This may include visual examination, medical history review, and where appropriate, diagnostic tests.

  3. 03

    Treatment suitability

    If treatment is appropriate, options are discussed. The range of available treatments and their suitability for your specific case are assessed individually.

  4. 04

    Individual plan

    Where treatment is recommended, an individual plan is developed. No treatment is initiated without your understanding and consent.

Inflammatory skin condition with comedones, papules and sometimes cysts, most often on the face. Treatment ranges from topicals to oral therapies and adjunctive procedures — tailored to severity and skin type.

Illustrative depiction of alopecia areata: well-defined round bald patch on the scalp with detailed views of hair follicles

Alopecia areata

Autoimmune form of hair loss presenting as well-defined, round patches. Assessment clarifies the pattern and possible triggers; treatment is individualised and accounts for the often relapsing course.
