The Harley Street Dermatology Clinic

What The Harley Street Dermatology Clinic does

The Harley Street Dermatology Clinic is a private dermatology practice headquartered at 35 Devonshire Place, London W1G 6JP, with a registered office at 1 Angel Court, London EC2R 7HJ. Founded in 2011, the clinic employs 11-50 staff and operates within The Dermatology Partnership, a national network of seven dermatology clinics across the UK. It is regulated by the UK Care Quality Commission and integrated into the Bupa insurance network for both self-pay and insured patients.

The clinic delivers consultant-led dermatology care across four primary verticals: skin cancer diagnosis and treatment (Mohs surgery, surgical excision, daylight photodynamic therapy, mole mapping using DermEngine, and full-body mole checks); general medical dermatology (acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, hair loss, skin allergies); cosmetic and aesthetic procedures (anti-ageing injectables, dermal fillers, Profhilo, thread lifts, PRP, microneedling, chemical peels, 8-point non-surgical facelift); and paediatric dermatology, which accounts for roughly a quarter of activity. Diagnostic and treatment technology comprises Daavlin UVA/UVB phototherapy units, DermEngine mole-mapping imaging, CO2 and Pulsed Dye lasers, N-Lite laser, Dermalux LED phototherapy, and patch testing equipment. All clinicians are hospital-based consultant dermatologists holding the Certificate of Completion of Specialist Training, registered with the GMC, BAD, RSM, and Royal College of Physicians.

The clinic runs a fee-for-service revenue model combining private consultations (£225-245 per appointment), treatment sessions (£250-500 per session, with full courses up to £10,000 for complex cases), 0% APR finance over 3-12 months, and reimbursement from major PMI providers (Bupa, Aviva, AXA, Vitality, WPA, Allianz, Healix). Patient acquisition is multi-channel: SEO-optimised condition and treatment pages, an educational blog, PR coverage in national and lifestyle publications, social media, GP referral pathways, and direct self-booking via website and phone. In 2023 the clinic completed the Sustainable Advantage ESG Review Programme.
