About the Erme Clinic
The purpose of the Erme Clinic is to treat skin lesions that are not serious, but just a nuisance or unsightly and can easily be removed by a simple, quick operation under local anaesthetic. The local anaesthetic is very similar to the sort you would have at the dentist. Also the purpose of the Erme Clinic is to offer facial treatments to rejuvenate the skin and remove wrinkles and put back lost voume in the face.
These treatments are worthwhile as the improved facial appearance restores self -confidence and actually makes patients feel better about themselves. Dr Elsey is assisted by fully trained nurses who are experienced in theatre and dermatology. Each patient’s particular problem and their general health is assessed individually and for that reason the prices included here are only a guide. It is better to plan some cosmetic operations treatments at least 2 weeks before any important event or foreign travel. Dr Elsey will advice you precisely when she assesses your problem. For other treatments, such as fillers it is also wise to observe this precaution. Cosmetic surgical operations are not generally available under the NHS, and non- surgical cosmetic treatments are not available under the NHS. If Dr Elsey consults a patient whose condition may be eligible for treatment under the NHS she will inform them
