DRUG TESTING & ALCOHOL

The Thornhill Clinic provides a comprehensive range of drug tests and alcohol tests for individuals and organisations in the Luton and the surrounding areas.

Hair drug testing is the preferred drug test in UK courts for individuals to prove abstinence. The reason for this is the historical timeline it can provide to show drug use over many months. This is also the case for hair alcohol testing. All hair drug and alcohol tests are performed in a UKAS 17025 accredited laboratory facility. As a result, laboratory reports are accepted as evidence in court when called upon.

Urinalysis is the most popular drug test we provide. The test is provided as two options. First, as a rapid urine drug screen. This provides instant on-site screen results within minutes of the sample being collected. Second, is the legally defensible urine laboratory drug test.

If you have tried over-the-counter medicines, such as salicylic acid, and these has not worked then we can offer you treatment with cryotherapy. Cryotherapy is a liquid nitrogen treatment which is quick and effective. It is very well tolerated and does not leave any scarring.

LABIAPLASTY

This is a very common procedure and is one of the most common procedures carried out in the UK every year. The procedure is performed under a local anaesthetic and takes around about an hour to do. This can be combined with a clitoral hood reduction and labia majora if so desired. Patients are able to go home the same day. Results take six – nine months to finalise but you will notice differences straight away.

BUCCAL FAT REMOVAL

Buccal Fat Pad removal (cheek fat removal or buccal lipectomy) is a cosmetic surgery procedure that removes excess fat pads from the cheeks. This creates a contoured facial appearance and aids facial narrowing. This can be combined with other facial procedures or be carried out as a stand-alone procedure.

GYNECOMASTIA

Gynecomastia (male glandular breast tissue) is the most common breast problem in men. Pseudogunecomastia (lipomastia) is the development of male breast tissue from the subareolar fat, without glandular tissue forming. This can affect up to 65 % males in their adolescence and up to 75 % affect both sides. The treatment carried out will depend on the extent (grade) of your condition. Currently, male breast reduction surgery is the most effective way to reduce male breasts and achieve a firmer and flatter chest.

BLEPHAROPLASTY

Eyelid surgery is a very common procedure to remove excess skin or fat from the eyelids. The aim is to improve hooded or drooping eyelids or eye bags. This treatment can be done under local anaesthetic with sedation or under general anaesthetic by making a incision along the eyelid crease in the natural skin fold of the eyelid removing excess skin, fat/muscle. The eyelids can over time look dull and tired. This treatment is one of the most popular ae sthetic facial procedures performed and helps give the upper face a rejuvenated and fresher appearance.

HORMONES

Hormonal changes can affect both males and females. Changes in moods, skin quality, hair quality, energy levels, concentration, memory and even libido can all be related to your hormone levels. Symptoms vary and can be present in a number of ways. If you think you have lost that get up and go feeling then you should seek help. Having unbalanced hormones can make you very unhappy and upset. This can lead to many effects on your body and its appearance. Bioidentical hormones are processed hormones designed to mimic the hormones made by your body’s glands. Taking bioidentical hormones can help people with low or unbalanced hormones.

EARLY CANCER DETECTION

In the UK there are 1000 new cases of cancer diagnosed per day, with 48% of those cases being caught in the later stages (3&4), where interventions are more aggressive and patient outcomes are worse. TruCheck™ has been developed to detect cancer early when management of the disease is more effective and in many cases curative.

We can provide you with a doctor’s consultation (£50) for this. Blood cancer screening is not covered by the NHS or UK healthcare insurance at this time, so will have to be fully funded by the patient. Please contact us for further information and pricing.
