How Minor Surgery Works

What are the benefits of Minor Surgery?

Minor surgery offers a fast, effective, and low-risk solution for many common skin concerns. At Light Touch Clinic in Weybridge, our procedures are performed in a calm, clinical environment with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Minimally Invasive – These procedures involve only small incisions or surface-level treatments, reducing physical trauma and making the process more comfortable for the patient.

Quick Recovery Time – Most clients return to normal activities within a few days, thanks to the gentle techniques we use and the absence of general anaesthesia.

Lower Risk – Compared to major surgery, minor procedures carry a reduced risk of complications such as infection, bleeding, or anaesthetic reactions. This makes them ideal for individuals who may not be suitable for more invasive treatments.

Optional Specialist Minor Surgery Treatments

In addition to routine minor surgical treatments, we also offer a range of specialised procedures tailored to meet individual needs. These services are carried out by our doctor-only team at our clinic in Weybridge, Surrey:

Small Joint Injections – We provide small joint injections to help relieve pain and reduce inflammation in affected joints. These are ideal for clients with conditions such as arthritis or repetitive strain injuries. Injections may include corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid, administered with precision to restore joint function and mobility.

More About What We Treat

Skin Tag Removal

Skin tag removal is a quick, minor procedure that eliminates small, soft growths commonly found on the neck, underarms, or body folds. We use safe, effective techniques to remove skin tags with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Mole Removal

Mole removal is a straightforward procedure to eliminate benign moles for either cosmetic reasons or due to irritation. Any mole removed is sent for detailed histological analysis to ensure it is benign and has no cancerous features, thereby giving you complete peace of mind.

Wart Removal

Wart removal targets stubborn skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), often found on the hands, feet, or other areas. We offer effective treatment options designed to remove warts safely and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Biopsies

A biopsy involves removing a small sample of tissue for medical examination, often to investigate unusual skin lesions or confirm a diagnosis. Performed under local anaesthetic, the procedure is quick, safe, and carried out with your comfort and clarity in mind.

Cyst & Lipoma Excision

Cyst and lipoma excision is a simple surgical procedure to remove benign lumps beneath the skin that may cause discomfort or grow over time. We perform precise excisions under local anaesthetic, ensuring minimal recovery time.

Most minor surgical treatments at our Weybridge clinic take between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the nature of the procedure. You’ll be able to return home shortly after your appointment.
In most cases, no time off work is required. Any necessary downtime will depend on the treatment area and your individual healing response, but many patients resume daily activities the same or next day.
