His own clinical practice is varied and includes:

- Treatment of scars, for which he is a world expert.
- Laser resurfacing.
- Prominent ear correction in children and adults; his numerous published techniques have been adopted widely due to the lack of requirement for head bandages after surgery.

- Photodynamic therapy for skin lesions.

Reviews
- Would you recommend this doctor?
- Treatment of the doctor
- Treatment of the staff
- Waiting time
- Condition of facilities
- Having recently attended Professor Kayvan Shokrollahi clinic for laser surgery, I can only commend him and his staff. Under his care, I felt safe and reassured, with clear and understandable instructions as well as explanations of procedures. The outcome was remarkable.
- Convenient e-consultation. The doctor spent a good amount of time explaining and helping with the problem.
- The consultation never took place, I never received confirmation of the appointment. I telephoned Professor Shokrollahi secretary and she said appointments would never be made via an on line website- so no appointment.
- I have previously undergone laser treatment for my port wine stain and found it very traumatic. Since I have been under Professor Shokrollahi care I have found that I feel in control of my treatment and he puts me 100% at ease. Excellent from start to end
- Professor Shokrollahi and his team are excellent
- Professor Shokrollahi put me at ease at the first consultation, and explained the procedure. I am delighted with the result and would recomend his services and expertise to others.
- Very happy with the service and results from my treatment
- Prof. Shokrollahi possesses the rare combination of having incredible expertise, excellent interpersonal skills, and empathy. I am beyond happy with the results of my mini-abdominoplasty and will be forever grateful to Prof. S for restoring my confidence.
- After suffering from keloid scars for the best part of 16 years, I was convinced they couldn’t be treated. I am completely blown away at Dr Shokrollahi’s effective treatment in alleviating my scars! He is completely one of a kind and worth every penny!
