Blood Tests & Diagnostics
Blood tests and biopsies are medical diagnostic services used to assess overall health, identify underlying conditions, and support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
What Are Blood Test & Biopsies?
Both services are performed by trained medical professionals in a CQC controlled clinic, following strict safety and hygiene protocols.
Blood Tests
Involve drawing a small sample of blood to analyse markers such as hormones, vitamins, minerals, inflammation, metabolic health, or disease indicators.
Biopsies
Involve taking a small tissue sample from the skin or another area of concern for laboratory analysis to identify abnormal or suspicious changes.
Appointments last from 10 – 40 minutes depending on the area and type (especially for biopsies).
When To Get Blood Tests Or Biopsies
Clients may require blood tests or biopsies for:
- Investigation of symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, hormonal imbalance, or unexplained skin changes
- Preventative health screening and wellness monitoring

These services help provide clarity, reassurance, and accurate medical insight when symptoms or concerns cannot be identified visually alone

Commonly Asked Questions
What's The Downtime For Blood Tests & Biopsies?
For blood tests there is no downtime, though you may experience some mild bruising and tenderness at the site. For biopsies, you have minimal downtime with mild soreness, redness and swelling for a few days after. We would recommend keeping the area dry and clean and avoid strenuous activity for 24-48 hours afterwards.
How Often Would I Need A Blood Test?
Blood tests may be done one-off, periodically or routinely depending on the medical need. Our blood panels are often repeated every 6-12 months to provide optimal preventative care.
How Often Would I Need A Biopsy?
Biopsies are typically one-time procedures, unless further investigation is required
What Do You Use To Do A Blood Test Or Biopsy?
