Our Team
At Skin Care Network we offer our patients treatment by trained consultant Dermatologists and Dermatology Nurses rather than beauticians and aestheticians. We believe that nothing can compare to the experience of a trained Consultant Dermatologist when it comes to skin care treatments.
You can see from our biographies that our experts have all completed Dermatology training in the UK and we continue to study and teach in our specialities. We hold a number of posts in NHS and private sector hospitals as well as at Skin Care Network.
