About Private Skin Clinic
Who will I see when I visit the clinic?
You’ll see Dr Charandeep Singh Sadhra at every appointment — the clinic does not rotate patients between different practitioners.
What are Dr Sadhra’s qualifications?
Dr Sadhra is a GMC-registered GP (GMC 7482484) with an MBChB, BSc, membership of the RCGP, and a Diploma in Dermatology, alongside further training in minor operations and aesthetic procedures.
What makes Private Skin Clinic different from a beauty clinic in Bromsgrove?
Every treatment starts with a genuine clinical assessment from a GP, not a cosmetic sales consultation. That means an honest opinion on what your skin actually needs, including if a treatment is not right for you.
Is Private Skin Clinic regulated?
The clinic operates under Dr Sadhra’s GMC registration and clinical governance, with clinical waste and sharps handled safely in partnership with BHI Parkside.
Where is the clinic based?
BHI Parkside, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire.
Medical Dermatology
Can you check a mole I’m worried about?
Yes. Dr Sadhra will examine any mole of concern using dermoscopy and advise on the most appropriate next step — reassurance, monitoring, or referral.
What is mole mapping and who needs it?
Mole mapping is a systematic photographic record of your moles, used to track changes over time. It can be useful if you have many moles, a personal or family history of skin cancer, or have noticed a mole changing.
Can moles be removed at the clinic?
Certain benign moles and skin lesions can be treated with CryoPen cryotherapy. Dr Sadhra will advise which lesions are suitable for treatment in clinic and which need a different pathway.
What happens if a mole looks concerning?
If Dr Sadhra has any concern about a mole, he’ll explain this clearly and arrange an appropriate referral rather than treating it in clinic — patient safety comes first.
Can you help with acne, rosacea, pigmentation or scarring?
Yes. Cosmetic skin consultations cover acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation and scarring. Dr Sadhra will assess your skin and recommend a treatment plan, which may include prescribed treatment where clinically appropriate.
Can you prescribe treatment for my skin condition?
As a GP, Dr Sadhra can prescribe where clinically appropriate, following a full consultation and assessment.
What are intralesional steroid injections used for?
These deliver steroid medication directly into a skin lesion — for example to help reduce inflammation in certain cysts, or keloid and hypertrophic scars. Suitability is assessed at consultation.
Can you help with excessive sweating?
Yes. Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) of the underarms, hands or feet is assessed to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other causes. Where antiperspirants have not helped enough, injection treatment may be suitable. Find out more on our Excessive Sweating page.
What is CryoPen cryotherapy and what does it treat?
CryoPen is a precise freezing treatment used for certain benign skin lesions, such as skin tags, verrucae or benign warts. Dr Sadhra confirms at consultation whether a lesion is suitable.
Is cryotherapy painful?
Most patients describe a brief stinging or cold sensation during treatment, which settles quickly afterwards. Dr Sadhra will explain what to expect before starting.
Aesthetic Treatments
What aesthetic treatments do you offer?
Polynucleotides, PRP injections, exosomes, chemical peels, anti-wrinkle consultations, and microneedling.
Do I need a consultation before an aesthetic treatment?
Yes — every aesthetic treatment begins with a full consultation, so your skin is properly assessed and the treatment is right for you before anything is carried out.
Do you offer anti-wrinkle consultations?
Yes. Dr Sadhra offers anti-wrinkle consultations for frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet and other expression lines. Any prescription-only treatment is only prescribed after a face-to-face assessment. Find out more on our Anti-Wrinkle Consultations page.
What are polynucleotides and what do they treat?
These are injectable treatments derived from DNA fragments, used to support skin repair and improve skin quality, tone and elasticity.
What is PRP and what is it used for?
PRP uses your own blood, processed to concentrate platelets, and reinjected to help stimulate skin rejuvenation.
What are exosomes used for in skincare?
Exosomes are used as part of regenerative skin treatments to support skin repair. Dr Sadhra can discuss suitability at consultation.
What skin concerns can chemical peels help with?
Chemical peels may help concerns such as uneven skin tone, mild pigmentation, and skin texture, depending on the strength and type of peel used.
What is microneedling and what does it treat?
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating its natural repair process. It is commonly used for texture, scarring and overall skin quality.
Do you offer scar treatment?
Yes. Acne scars, raised (hypertrophic) scars and keloid scars are assessed by Dr Sadhra, and a plan is agreed that may include steroid injections, microneedling, chemical peels or PRP, depending on the type of scar. Find out more on our Scar Treatment page.
What is skin rejuvenation?
Skin rejuvenation describes treatments that improve skin quality, such as texture, fine lines, hydration and firmness, by supporting the skin’s own repair processes. Options include microneedling, PRP, exosomes, polynucleotides, skin boosters and chemical peels. Find out more on our Skin Rejuvenation page.
