Services
People enjoy the historic location of our dermatology clinic, although the facilities inside are state of the art and welcoming. Skin Care Network first opened in Barnet in 2006. Close to a major North London hospital our founding consultants turned into a significant skin cancer centre. They wanted a high level of support to be available to everyone.
Your skin must shield your body from the elements, pollution, the power of the sun. This extraordinary layer also reflects what is happening inside, from a chill, to a chemical imbalance, to more serious conditions. Dermatology in London is a key service, supporting a wide ranging population. We think of dermatologists as treating conditions of the skin, which they do but their specialist eye reveals far more.
We are a leading dermatologist in London because we live by the message above. Skilled consultants and aesthetic staff help to change how you feel about yourself and ensure others see your natural persona. Skin Care Network blend medical and cosmetic treatment, offering an integrated approach to anti ageing to enhance your looks.
Dr Howard Stevens, a leading consultant and founder of Skin Care Network explains recent advances in skin cancer diagnosis. Skincare Network is one of the few clinics in London with a dedicated, multidisciplinary team, delivering best practice skin cancer treatment. This includes on site day surgery, plastic surgery, laser treatment and the gold standard, Mohs surgery.
Dr Ioulios Palamaras, one of our experienced Mohs surgeons, explains how the technique combines medical and cosmetic benefits. The difficulty with cancer treatment, is that surgeons want to be sure they erase all cancerous cells, to avoid recurrence, or spreading of the tumour. With traditional cancer surgery, a wide margin of normal skin and tissue are often removed, as a precaution.

Wish I'd come here 2 years earlier!
I had been dealing with a problem for over 2 years and had been to countless doctors, GPs, NHS referrals, other private clinics and had gotten at best nowhere, at worst accused of wasting their time. I am so glad I finally got up the guts to come here. Dr Stevens worked out in one appointment what was going on. Even though the condition is seemingly very rare. He listened actively and respectfully and explained his reasoning to me and had a proper constructive conversation. Now I am much better able to mange my condition with a prescription he provided.
Thank

In October of 2018 I had laser surgery for what I would describe as a birth defect. The results of the laser surgery were astounding. I have to commend the highly skilled work. It has transformed the affected area into a work of art. Would highly recommend. I have received comments like “photogenic” and “very attractive” regarding that area. I have to thank Dr Howard Stevens for his great work.

5 stars for the dermatologist, 1 star for the receptionist. Good experience with the dermatologist, quick and reassuring, however the receptionist who greeted me on arriving was extremely rude, I came in and said hello but got a 'yes?' in response as though I'd just walked in for no particular purpose; not even a hello or how can I help/do you have an appointment? I don't expect more than common courtesy but her manner was just exceptionally rude and especially disappointing as I've been twice before and had very positive experiences as has my husband. Maybe some customer service training for that

Attended this clinic recently for diagnosis, surgery and on-going management - just a note to acknowledge the professionalism and friendly manner of all clinical and support staff - very caring, approachable and supportive. Special thanks to Teena who took time to answer my endless questions with a lovely mix of reassurance and humour!

Saw Dr Palamaras today for hair loss issues. Very kind, understanding, gentle doctor. Gave me good advice and explained why I have hair loss. Also the nurse Christiana was also lovely who took my pictures. I was very upset and distressed when I went to see her and she took the time to talk to me and reassure me. Wonderful team thank you

I would just like to say that Mr Stevens is a outstanding dermatologist. He has gone above and beyond on more than three occasions to help me out and put my mind at total ease. I have seen quite a few dermatologist but none come close to mr Stevens knowledge and kindness and honesty (he just saved me £820 when he could of just took my money). Any one who needs any moles or anything on there skin looked it you will find no better than Mr Stevens, I would leave 10 stars if I could. Also the receptionist are extremely helpful and caring, keep up the excellent work skin care network!

I was highly recommended Mr Stevens by 2 close friends who have had treatment for skin cancer one was a young adult who had aggressive cancer due to a mole on her face Mr Stevens not only cleared her cancer but left little to no scaring at all. Therefore I did not hesitate to take my mum to Mr Stevens for a 2nd opinion as her NHS surgeon had told her the dry spot on her nose was probably aggressive cancer & she would have to wait 6 weeks for her results of a biopsy. Therefore she went to Mr Stevens who put her mind at ease straight away telling her not to worry as he did not think it was cancer

I called the skincare practice to try and book an appointment. I was met with a rude receptionist. She was not knowledgable at all. She couldn’t even find my patient history because they had put my birthday down wrong in their system. I then asked how much it would be to have a consultation. I was thinking around £120 seeing as how I only wanted to have some spots checked for skin cancer. I went to this clinic a few years again and paid over £400 (including a few creams they sold me, it was £220 for the appointment) and was told the price was so high because I had to pay a one-time consultation

My doctor suggested skin care to remove a small skin tag on my son's eyelid. Run by doctors and nurses if you wanted a more medical procedure. Most cosmetic organisation will only deal with adults. Consultant with doctor around £200 and freezing around £160, took 15mins and worth the money. Professional and well run.
