Same-day outpatient procedures at The Wright Practice, 101 Harley Street: ear wax removal, cryotherapy for warts and skin tags, mole/lesion assessment and Botox® for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Every case starts with a diagnostic consultation, with specialist referral arranged if further investigation is needed
Many common medical problems can be treated quickly and effectively without the need for hospital referral or surgery.
At The Wright Practice, we offer a range of outpatient procedures designed to provide convenient, expert care in a comfortable clinical setting. Whether you’re troubled by blocked ears, an unwanted skin tag, a persistent wart, a changing mole or excessive sweating, we aim to provide prompt assessment and, where appropriate, treatment during the same appointment.
Every procedure begins with a thorough consultation to confirm the diagnosis, discuss treatment options and ensure the procedure is appropriate. If there is any concern that a skin lesion requires further investigation, we will arrange referral to the most appropriate specialist rather than proceeding with treatment.
Our services include:
Our focus is always on safe, evidence-based care, realistic expectations and personalised treatment tailored to your individual needs.
Ear wax (cerumen) is a normal part of the ear’s natural defence system, but excessive build-up can cause troublesome symptoms including:
Many people attempt to remove ear wax using cotton buds or other objects, which often pushes the wax deeper into the ear canal and can damage the ear.
At The Wright Practice, we assess the ears before treatment to confirm that wax is responsible for your symptoms and to exclude infection, perforation of the eardrum or other conditions requiring alternative management.
Where appropriate, we perform ear wax removal using pulsed irrigation. This gentle technique uses warm water to safely remove softened wax and usually takes only a few minutes. Many patients notice an immediate improvement in hearing and comfort.
Not all blocked ears are caused by wax, and we will always advise on the most appropriate treatment for your symptoms.
Cost: Consultation fee – no additional charge
Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy unwanted tissue. It is a quick, effective outpatient treatment for many common benign skin lesions.
Cryotherapy may be suitable for:
Before treatment, we carefully examine the lesion to confirm that cryotherapy is appropriate. If there is any uncertainty regarding the diagnosis, further assessment or specialist referral may be recommended instead.
Treatment usually takes only a few minutes. During the procedure you may experience a brief stinging sensation, followed by redness, swelling or blistering over the following few days as the skin heals. Some lesions require more than one treatment session.
Cryotherapy offers a simple, minimally invasive treatment with little downtime and excellent results for many common skin conditions.
Cost: Consultation fee + £95. £45 per additional lesion
Skin tags are harmless, soft growths that commonly occur on the neck, underarms, eyelids, groin and beneath the breasts. Although medically benign, they may become irritated by clothing or jewellery, catch during shaving, or simply be cosmetically bothersome.
We assess every lesion before removal to confirm that it is a typical skin tag and not another type of skin lesion requiring further investigation.
Depending on the size and location, skin tags may be removed using:
Most procedures take only a few minutes and involve minimal downtime. We will explain the most suitable technique, expected healing and aftercare before treatment.
Cost: Consultation fee + £95. £45 per additional lesion
Most skin lesions are harmless, but new or changing moles and persistent skin changes should always be assessed.
We provide expert assessment of a wide range of skin lesions, including:
During your consultation we assess the lesion’s appearance, size, colour, borders, growth pattern and associated symptoms to determine whether it appears benign or requires further investigation.
If there is any suspicion of skin cancer or pre-cancerous change, we will arrange prompt referral to an appropriate dermatologist or skin cancer specialist.
Whether you need reassurance or further investigation, our aim is to provide a clear diagnosis and appropriate management plan.
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can have a major impact on confidence, work, social life and everyday comfort.
Primary hyperhidrosis most commonly affects:
Many people experience excessive sweating despite cool temperatures or minimal physical activity.
At The Wright Practice, we offer treatment for underarm hyperhidrosis using botulinum toxin (Botox®). The treatment temporarily blocks the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production.
Treatment involves a series of small injections beneath the skin and usually takes around 20–30 minutes.
Benefits commonly include:
Results typically begin within one to two weeks and often last between four and nine months before repeat treatment is required.
Before treatment, we assess for any underlying medical causes of excessive sweating, as conditions such as thyroid disease, infections and certain medications can occasionally contribute.
For many patients, successful treatment is genuinely life-changing, allowing them to wear different clothing, participate more confidently in social situations and stop worrying about excessive sweating.
Bruxism is the medical term for involuntary teeth grinding or jaw clenching. It can happen while awake or asleep and, over time, can cause jaw pain, headaches and damage to the teeth. Many people don’t realise they are doing it.
Common signs include:
At The Wright Practice, treatment begins with a doctor-led assessment to understand why you may be grinding or clenching, including stress, sleep, medication and lifestyle factors, and to decide whether botulinum toxin is appropriate for you.
Where suitable, small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into the masseter muscles at the sides of the jaw. The aim is not to stop normal jaw movement, but to reduce the strength of excessive muscle contraction, helping to ease clenching, jaw-muscle tension, morning discomfort and bruxism-related headaches.
The procedure usually takes only a few minutes. Results develop gradually over the first couple of weeks and are temporary, commonly lasting several months, so treatment may need to be repeated.
Botulinum toxin does not replace dental care. Depending on your symptoms, we may also recommend a night guard, dental assessment or advice on stress, caffeine, alcohol and medications.
