The London Dermatology Centre is a highly established private clinic that offers its patients an incredibly high standard of expert care, which is tailored specifically for each patient's skin type. The dermatology-focused centre was first founded in 2005 by current clinical director and one of the UK's leading dermatologists, Dr Sunil Chopra. The clinic's team is comprised of exceptionally skilled, expert dermatologists who specialise in diagnosing and treating a wide variety of skin conditions, hair and scalp disorders, as well as skin cancers. The London Dermatology Centre certainly stands head and shoulders above any other skin-treating clinic in the country, as, impressively, the clinic offers various different specialised clinics within the centre, including a vitiligo clinic, eczema clinic, allergy clinic, hair loss clinic, aesthetic clinic, as well as an acne scarring clinic. Not only that, but the centre - which is registered with the Care Quality Commission - also boasts an all-new Icon laser treatment, a quick, easy and highly effective treatment option for acne scarring, scars, skin rejuvenation and for patients to undo sun damage to the skin.
