             Skin Clinic Details & Fees

Skin is our body’s tough, self-repairing and flexible covering, performing many different functions intrinsically linked to our overall health and well-being. As our outermost layer it can, in the case of adverse skin conditions, prove to be a source great distress and embarrassment. Psoriasis, Eczema and Dermatitis (the latter often considered under the umbrella term ‘Eczema’) are amongst the most common ailments worldwide, yet still remain notoriously difficult to treat successfully despite the many advances in modern medicine.

Treatments

Aside of a typical G.P. approach, the market is awash with products aimed primarily at reducing characteristic symptoms such as dryness, inflammation or itching. Although welcome, symptomatic relief is only a temporary measure, the problems often re-appearing (sometimes with a greater vengeance) until the underlying factors, contributing to the condition in the first place, are addressed.

Some history

At different times of my life, I’ve struggled with skin conditions (Psoriasis in particular) and, through working with sufferers over the years, have found my path to be fairly typical - passed from Doctor to Specialists, visits to hospital Dermatology units, applying many different creams and, in desperate moments, trying some of the more bizarre treatments. At a certain stage, my options had narrowed to either working to find my own solution or simply learning to live with the condition. Through trial and error, research and effort, I managed, over time, to formulate a treatment plan that proved successful for me, a procedure similar to putting pieces of a jigsaw together. This is an ongoing process as I’m aware my skin would be quick to remind me if I fail to look after myself properly.

The aim of the Clinic

Originally established over 10 years ago, the Clinic was designed to make positive use of my experiences (together with various qualifications obtained over the years) in order to help those struggling with a skin condition by providing sufferers with an independent point of contact as well as a range of services including - 

•Straightforward support and encouragement

•Creation of individual treatment plans (to work in conjunction with your orthodox treatment, should you wish)

•Provision of natural medicines, if required

Indeed, whatever your situation, I always endeavour be of help in whatever way possible.
