Teledermatology
Online Dermatologist Consultation in the UK
See a dermatologist online for acne, eczema, psoriasis and other skin concerns
Whether you live outside a big city or simply prefer to be seen from home, you no longer need to travel to London to see a dermatologist.
With a video consultation you can connect with a consultant dermatologist from your computer, tablet or phone, share your concern, receive a diagnosis and agree a treatment plan, all without leaving home.
Our practice has offered video consultations since March 2020, when we introduced them so that patients could keep receiving care during the pandemic. Since then we have held more than 1,100 video sessions.

How to prepare for your video consultation
at London Super Skin Clinic, Harley Street
Choose a quiet, private room with good daylight and a stable internet connection.
Use a device with a working camera and microphone: a phone, tablet or computer.
Take clear, close-up photos of the affected skin in natural light, and one from a little further away to show the area.
Write down how long the problem has been there, what makes it better or worse and what you have already tried.
Have a list ready of any medicines you take and any allergies.
Frequently asked questions
What is teledermatology?
Teledermatology is a skin consultation held by secure video, so you can see a dermatologist without travelling to the clinic.
Can every skin problem be assessed online?
No. Many common concerns can be assessed on video, but some, such as changing moles, need an in-person examination. We will tell you early if that is the case.
How much does an online dermatologist consultation cost?
An initial video skin consultation costs £200 and a follow-up £170. Hair consultations are £250 for the initial appointment and £200 for a follow-up. See our Treatment Fees page for details.
What do I need for a video consultation?
A phone, tablet or computer with a camera, a stable internet connection, a private room with good light and clear photos of the affected skin.
Is my consultation private and secure?
Yes. Consultations are held on a secure video platform and your information is handled confidentially.
Will I ever need to visit the clinic?
Sometimes. If the dermatologist needs to examine your skin closely, or a treatment has to be done in person, we will invite you to our Harley Street clinic.
