How do I find a top-rated dermatologist in Harley Street?

Dr Ophelia's clinic is located at 130 Harley Street, easily accessible from Marylebone, Mayfair, and Central London. We are recognized as a leading destination for private dermatology, consistently rated 5-stars by our patients for medical and aesthetic excellence. You can book a private consultation directly through our online portal or by calling our clinic.

Do I need a GP referral to see a private dermatologist in London?

No referral is necessary for self-paying patients. You can book directly with our clinic. If you're using private medical insurance, some providers may require a GP referral letter - please check with your insurer before booking. We're happy to assist with any insurance queries.

How long does it take to see results from dermatology treatment?

This varies depending on your condition. Some laser treatments & facials show immediate results, while chronic conditions such as acne or eczema may require 3-4 weeks of consistent treatment before significant improvement is visible. Hair loss treatments typically require 3-6 months before noticeable regrowth. Dr Ophelia will discuss realistic timelines during your consultation and monitor your progress with regular follow-ups.

Does Dr Ophelia treat children's skin conditions?

Yes, Dr Ophelia has extensive experience in paediatric dermatology and treats skin conditions in children of all ages, from infancy through adolescence. Common conditions include childhood eczema, acne in teenagers, warts, molluscum contagiosum, and birthmark assessments. She uses a gentle, child-friendly approach to ensure young patients feel comfortable.
