At Skinoza Clinic, we believe that proactive health is the best health. Whether it’s routine monitoring, spotting issues early, or simply checking that everything is in order, our private blood test service in Orpington gives you fast, accurate insights — without waiting for NHS back-logs.
Why choose a private blood test?
When you rely solely on standard healthcare pathways, you may face delays, limited test panels, and less flexible appointments. Private blood tests unlock:
Faster access to testing without needing a referral.
Flexible appointment times that fit your schedule.
A wider range of tests — from general screens to advanced hormone, nutrient and metabolic panels.
Personalised review of results and what they mean for you.
In Orpington and the surrounding areas, more people are opting for private testing. A provider lists a wide range of tests with fast turn-around at a clinic on Homefield Rise in Orpington. Goodbody Clinic+2Forth+2
At Skinoza Clinic, we deliver that convenience with the highest standards of care and interpretation.
Where and how we operate
Our clinic is easily accessible from Orpington and Greater London, whether you’re driving or using public transport. You can book your blood test, attend for a phlebotomy appointment, and have your results reviewed by our clinicians.

At Skinoza Clinic, our packages may differ depending on the number of markers you want to test — but you’ll always receive clear guidance and support.
What kinds of tests do we offer?
We cater to a wide variety of needs. Here’s a summary of what you can choose from:
1. General Health Check & Baseline Screen
Perfect if you’re feeling okay but want to ensure everything is on track. Includes: full blood count, kidney and liver function, cholesterol/lipid profile, blood sugar (HbA1c), iron/ferritin, vitamin B12/folate, thyroid screen.
2. Hormone & Men’s/Women’s Wellness Panels
For those who want to drill deeper:
In men: testosterone, SHBG, DHEA, prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
In women: oestrogen/progesterone, thyroid, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) risk markers
3. Vitamin & Nutrient Deficiency Panels
Factors such as fatigue, poor recovery from exercise, mood issues or immune weakness often link to low vitamin D, low B12, low iron stores or mineral imbalances.
4. Thyroid and Metabolic Screens
Thyroid dysfunction is common and easy to miss. We test TSH, Free T4, Free T3, and if required, thyroid antibodies and reverse T3.
5. Heart, Diabetes and Kidney Risk Screens
If you have family history or early risk, we offer more detailed tests for lipids, ApoA1/ApoB, high-sensitivity CRP (inflammation), kidney filtration rate (eGFR) and more.
6. Tailored & Specialist Tests
Athletes, people recovering from illness, those undergoing fertility workups or hormone treatments can benefit from bespoke panels.

The process at Skinoza Clinic
Here’s how it works when you book a private blood test with us:
Step 1 – Booking & Consultation
You contact us (phone/online) and discuss whether you want a basic screen or a customised panel. We’ll explain what each test includes and what it could reveal.
Step 2 – Phlebotomy Appointment
You visit the clinic (or a designated phlebotomy partner) for sample collection. We use sterile, trained staff and ensure your comfort. Fasting requirements (if needed) are explained.
Step 3 – Laboratory Analysis
Your sample is sent to a UKAS-accredited lab for processing. Many results are available within 24–48 hours. Private clinics in the Orpington area advertise 1–2 day turnaround. House of Aesthetics London
Step 4 – Results Review & Follow-up
Once your results are ready, a clinician at Skinoza Clinic reviews them with you. We’ll interpret your markers, highlight any areas of concern or imbalance, and suggest next steps.
Step 5 – Action Plan
Depending on results, you might receive lifestyle advice (nutrition, exercise, sleep), referral to a specialist, or targeted follow-up testing. The aim is not just data but actionable insight.
Why fast turnaround matters
Waiting for test results can cause anxiety and delay effective interventions. With private testing, the quicker the results, the quicker you can address underlying issues — whether that’s nutritional deficiency, early metabolic dysfunction, hormone imbalance or organ stress.
Common misconceptions
“It’s just a general check-up, nothing will be wrong.”
Even people without symptoms can have early signs of imbalance — eg low vitamin D, sub-optimal thyroid levels, early kidney markers etc. Detecting these early means simpler interventions and better outcomes.
“NHS will cover everything I need anyway.”
While the NHS does excellent work, waiting times and limited screening for wellness panels can delay insight. Private tests allow you to act sooner.
“If my bloods are ‘normal’ I don’t need to revisit them.”
Health is dynamic. Factors such as diet, exercise, stress, age and environment affect your markers over time. Periodic screening (eg every 12-18 months) is wise.
Who benefits most from private blood tests?
Busy professionals who don’t want to wait for extended NHS appointments.
Those with family history of chronic conditions (eg diabetes, thyroid disease, heart disease) wanting proactive monitoring.
People with vague symptoms (fatigue, mood change, poor sleep, hair loss) that are hard to pin down.
Athletes, fitness enthusiasts and those undergoing lifestyle changes who want an objective baseline and follow-up.
Anyone who values being in control of their health and wants a thorough, reliable check-up.

How to prepare for your blood test
For optimal results:

Avoid heavy alcohol the night before.
Drink water to stay well hydrated (makes phlebotomy easier).
Bring a list of medications, supplements and any known health conditions.
Wear a short-sleeve or loose shirt for easier access.
Interpreting your results — what next?
Once you’ve had your test and we’ve discussed your markers, you’ll often get one of three outcomes:
All within normal range – excellent! We’ll advise when your next check should be (typically 12-18 months) and what lifestyle supports to maintain.
Minor deviation – e.g., mildly low vitamin D or just-above-normal cholesterol. We’ll suggest lifestyle changes or retesting in 3-6 months.
Significant marker of concern – e.g., high HbA1c, very low ferritin, abnormal thyroid antibodies. In these cases we’ll guide you to specialist referral, further tests, or targeted treatment.
