Not all private skin clinics are led by a surgeon. Dr Etienne Raffner is a Specialist Grade Maxillofacial & Oral Surgeon with over a decade of experience in surgical dermatology — including skin cancer surgery as a core member of the Kent & Sussex Skin Cancer Multidisciplinary Team.
His surgical background means he brings a level of anatomical precision and diagnostic rigour to every consultation that is uncommon outside a hospital setting. Whether you have a mole you'd like checked, a lesion you'd like removed, or a skin concern that needs expert assessment, you'll be seen by a clinician with the training to assess, diagnose and treat — often in a single appointment.

When to See a Dermatologist
Many skin concerns can be managed by your GP, but certain situations benefit from specialist assessment:
- A mole that has changed in size, shape or colour, or looks different from your other moles
- A new growth, lump or lesion that wasn't there before
- A lesion that bleeds, itches, crusts or fails to heal
- A skin tag, cyst or benign growth you'd like removed without the NHS wait
- A previous skin cancer diagnosis and you'd like ongoing monitoring
- A skin concern where you'd simply like a specialist's reassurance
If you're unsure whether your concern warrants a specialist, a consultation with Dr Raffner is the right starting point — he'll assess it clinically and advise on the appropriate next step.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
Clinical Assessment
Dr Raffner examines your skin concern using dermoscopy where appropriate. He'll discuss the history, any changes you've noticed, and your medical background.
Diagnosis & Advice
You'll receive a clear explanation of what the lesion or concern is, whether treatment is needed, and what your options are — with no obligation to proceed.
Treatment or Plan
Where appropriate, treatment can be carried out the same day. Otherwise, a clear plan is agreed and a further appointment arranged at your convenience.
Treatments & Pricing
Dr Raffner offers a full range of surgical dermatology treatments — mole removal, skin tag removal, cyst and lipoma excision, cryotherapy, skin cancer screening and histological analysis. Full treatment details and pricing are on our surgical dermatology page.
