Save My Skin: Who pays for the treatments? TLC show’s costs explored! Thu 8 April 2021 02:00 Updated Thu 8 April 2021 09:13 Celine Byford
Mia Horton It is the TLC series where people visit Dr. Emma Craythorne for help with a skin condition. The real question is, who pays for treatments?
If you’re into graphic shows like Dr Pimple Popper, then this series – based on extreme medical conditions – will be right up your street.
Clients are seen heading to one of England’s top dermatologists, with hopes to improve their appearance once and for all, on Save My Skin.
We looked into exactly who pays for the treatments, and how much each appointment costs with Dr. Emma Craythorne.
Who pays for Save My Skin treatments?
Although this has not officially been confirmed, anyone who arranges a consultation with Dr. Emma Craythorne usually pays a fee.
As her clinic is private, it is thought that patients would pay for treatments, rather than have them paid for by the government through the NHS.
One fan wrote on a forum: “I think Dr Emma is an NHS doctor, and the government pays for the patients.”
While this is possible, consultations with Emma Craythorne on a usual basis – which are shown on the TV show – are usually paid for by her clients.
Other shows, such as Dr. Sandra Lee on Dr. Pimple Popper, offers patients free treatments, in exchange for being shown on her YouTube channel.
People get free travel, accommodations, and treatment with no added cost on Dr. Pimple Popper, so it is possible that the same goes for Save My Skin.
Dr. Emma is back with all-new cases and more squeezing! If you're a fan of #DrPimplePopper and #MyFeetAreKillingMe, make sure to watch a brand-new season of #SaveMySkin starting Wednesday, April 7 at 10/9c!

How much does an appointment cost?
Then, if the client wants a follow-up appointment, it costs them £200.
Other TLC doctors such as Dr. Sandra Lee, on Dr. Pimple Popper, charge $500 to $600 on a usual basis, for an extraction session.
Most dermatologists say they won’t remove blackheads, according to Dr Sandra Lee, which means that she “wins” as she does it for free.
Have you watched the British dermatology show on TLC (“Save My Skin” I believe) She’s fantastic and it’s much more diverse and interesting than Dr Pimple Popper.
