Medical dermatology involves diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the skin using a combination of clinical expertise, medication and minimally invasive procedures where appropriate. Surgical dermatology focuses on the safe removal of skin lesions, skin cancers and other abnormalities while achieving the best possible functional and cosmetic outcome. Professor Firas carefully assesses every patient to determine the most suitable treatment approach based on their diagnosis, medical history and individual needs.

Many skin conditions benefit from early diagnosis and treatment. Identifying suspicious skin lesions, changing moles or early skin cancers promptly often allows less invasive treatment and significantly improves long-term outcomes. For this reason, regular skin examinations are strongly recommended, particularly for individuals with significant sun exposure, fair skin or a personal or family history of skin cancer.

Professor Firas performs a wide variety of medical and surgical dermatology procedures on a daily basis, including Skin Health Assessment, Mole Removal, Mohs Surgery and the treatment of both benign and malignant skin lesions. Mohs Surgery is regarded as the gold standard treatment for many basal cell carcinomas (BCC) and selected squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), offering the highest cure rates while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.

In addition to treating skin cancer, Professor Firas also manages a wide range of benign skin lesions, including cysts, skin tags, pigmentation disorders and other dermatological conditions requiring specialist assessment. Treatments such as Cyst & Skin Tag Removal, Cryotherapy and advanced laser procedures may be recommended depending on the diagnosis and the patient’s treatment goals.

The skin is the largest organ in the human body and plays an essential role in protecting overall health. Maintaining healthy skin requires accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment and ongoing preventative care. During your consultation, Professor Firas will carefully examine your skin, explain any findings and discuss the most appropriate treatment options, ensuring you have a clear understanding of your condition and the available management strategies.

With extensive clinical experience, internationally recognised expertise and a commitment to delivering personalised patient care, Professor Firas Al-Niaimi provides comprehensive medical and surgical dermatology services using the latest evidence-based techniques. Whether you require diagnosis of a new skin condition, expert skin cancer management or advanced dermatological surgery, you can be confident you are receiving the highest standard of specialist dermatological care.
