Do I need a GP referral to see Dr Logan?
No, you can book directly as a private patient. A referral letter can be helpful but is not required.
How quickly will I get an appointment?
Most patients are seen within a few days to weeks, far quicker than NHS waiting lists.
What happens at my first consultation?
You’ll have a full skin assessment, discussion of symptoms, and if necessary, tests such as blood work or a biopsy. A treatment plan is usually given on the same day.
Can Dr Logan prescribe advanced treatments like biologics?
Yes. As a Consultant Dermatologist, he can prescribe and monitor advanced therapies, including biologics for psoriasis and eczema.
How long until I see results?
This varies. Some treatments show improvement in a few weeks, while others (like biologics or acne therapy) may take 2–3 months
Can skin conditions really affect overall health?
Yes. Conditions like psoriasis and eczema can be linked with other health problems (such as arthritis or allergies). Managing them properly improves both skin and general wellbeing.
Are treatments safe?
All treatments are tailored to you. Risks and benefits are always discussed, and monitoring (such as blood tests) is arranged when needed.
Will my skin condition come back?
Some conditions are chronic and require ongoing management, while others may resolve completely. The goal is to minimise flares and keep your skin as healthy as possible.
