I highly recommend anyone that has scarring, visible in injuries from an accident or anything else that you don't like to go here...I was hit by a car cycling to work and had extremely bad injuries to my face which I thought there would be no recovery. It was mentally and physically painful and draining. I never realized the Impact that an injury that I got would change the way I thought about myself but it did..but with the help of Dr Anne Farrel and her team to these guys they removed 97% of the very bad and extremely visible scarring on my face. This is 100% a true, genuine review. Just ask to see photos, I was featured in a lads mag don't look section ,(nuts) at the time. I dunno what I would of done without your help! You guys genuinely saved my life. Thank you team and Dr anne farrell
Dr Farrell is professional, kind and thoughtful. After explaining to me different courses of treatment available I was given the freedom to select one. I felt involved and very supported. After going on medication for some months my skin no longer has acne. I am very grateful to Dr Farrell and to her kind team. The interior of the clinic is very beautiful and has a calm atmosphere.
I have been visiting this professional clinic for 10 years now, following an initial first class consultation with Dr Farrell. I cannot praise Dr Farrell and her fantastic team of nurses highly enough as their advice and treatments are second to none. I continue to receive excellent ongoing advice and treatment on a regular basis. I am continually delighted by the results and glowing skin. Thank you so much Dr Farrell and team.
Dr Farrell is an excellent dermatologist. I have been seeing her for regular checks following skin cancer which she diagnosed and successfully treated several years ago. I have also received other treatments from Dr Farrell for various skin problems, both medical and cosmetic, with excellent results. She takes the time to listen carefully to me and discusses the treatment options available outlining what is involved and the expected results in a clear and unbiased way. Her Dermatology Consulting clinic and staff are wonderful and I wouldn't go anywhere else for the care of my skin.
Dr Anne Farrell is a highly skilled and professional doctor. Her diagnosis and procedures are explained thoroughly. Her manner is warm and considerate. I had a biopsy for a facial mole. Subsequently, I had surgery. This was followed by initially by Frazel Repair. I have alternating treatments of Frazel Restore and Fotona all of which have greatly improved the overall condition of my skin.
Dr Anne Farrell is an exceptional dermatologist who has transformed my skin. Two years ago, I felt deeply distressed about my stubborn cystic acne and acne scars. Dr Farrell was a wonderful listener, and after taking the time to assess my skin thoroughly, she customised the perfect treatment plan. As a result, my acne cleared in just 4 weeks, and she has since been treating my acne scarring with the Fraxel laser. I am seeing impressive results with every session, and I now have my confidence back. Dr Farrell's unrivalled reputation is a testament to not only her experience and skill - it is a testament to how much she cares about her patients. The follow-up care is outstanding, and the clinic is elegant and pristine. It is a real privilege to be treated by Dr Farrell and her team, and I could not recommend this clinic more highly.
A wonderful Dermatologist. Attentive and approachable whilst also having the up-to-date knowledge and skill set to deal with my wide ranging skin issues. Having visited Dr Farrell following complications from a previous treatment, my acne prone sensitive skin is now great and I have a simple, effective plan to maintain this. I cannot rate this doctor and clinic highly enough. I am now a regular client and intend to remain so. I now fully understand the benefits and importance of attending Dermatologist / Plastic Surgeon run clinics when undergoing cosmetic treatments. The aftercare and knowledge base will minimise the risk of complication and resolve any issues which may occur. Also, the front of house and nursing team are fabulous.
I have skin type 4 skin and I am a 25 year old male. I foolishly went without sun lotion during intense midday sunbathing whilst on holiday near the equator. I ended up with sunburn across my chest and over my hands. After the peeling subsided, my skin on the back of my hands was always dry and gathered some fine lines and scaling. After a while, I looked online to find out that my usually sun resistant skin had been sun burnt. Moisturisers prescribed by GPs never helped the appearance. I went for a cosmetic dermatology consultation. Dr. Ann Farrell had a look carefully and said I had subtle changes such as thickening of the skin and fine lines. She suggested bland moisturisers to start off with and said if I was bothered by the fine lines then Fraxel Dual could help. She told me that I had good skin anyway. After using bland moisturisers, I decided to go for Fraxel Dual after researching from sites likes these. I just wanted anything to help improve the texture and possibly decrease the fine lines. Procedure included watering the hands with warm water to bring the blood to the surface. Local anaesthetic was left on top for an hour to numb the area. I paid for the consultant dermatologist to perform the procedure due to my skin type and risk of hyperpigmentation. I had to rest my hands on a pillow and then the laser was used with 8 passes altogether. Pain with 0 being Lowest and 10 being Highest, I would would rate it 5/10. Each laser pass stung noticeably more than I expected from how the laser adverts describe it. The consultant dermatologist did adjust the density setting half way through to a lower one. The nurse assisted by blowing cool air over my hands the whole time. We managed to discuss general topics and she answered my questions about the treatment during the actual procedure. I adjusted to the "stinging nettle" sensation as the treatment went through and after 10 minutes, I was relieved it was done. Cool water was sprayed over my hands after the procedure and then Aveeno moisturiser cream was slathered on. My hands just looked red as if I had dunked them in hot water. I was given post care instructions such as no retinol or vitamin C products until after 2 weeks and to keep it sun protected for 3 months. In the first day, my hands looks sand papery and there are red dots all over. It is only my first day and I will update. I really want to help others by posting this review because I researched Google intensely online before the procedure. I am hoping for better skin texture and for the minor pigmentation to clear away. As the consultant dermatologist said, I have "good skin" to begin with so she thinks one single treatment is enough and this treatment in her opinion was good for just "maintenance". I guess I am hyper aware of my skin changes after the sun burn and I do believe there was textural differences although they are quite subtle. My aim was to improve my skin fairly quickly rather than wait months and months for tretinoin cream to slowly work. I will upload more photos and comments as the days pass. I paid £350 for my single session of Fraxel Dual. Updated on 23 Dec 2015: Positive changes have finally shown on my hand. It took two long weeks for the microscopic dots to slowly disappear. Literature says that hands take longer to heal than face. I need to state that I have been strict with sunscreen and moisturising so it has been this after care that has avoided post inflammatory hyper pigmentation that is likely in my skin type 4. Texture of the back of my hand is very smooth. It feels softer too. Unfortunately the crepey thinned part of my skin that was sun burnt remains the same and it has done nothing for the wrinkles. However, I am aware that it takes multiple treatments to make any difference to those things and even then, they would not make any dramatic changes. Would I do it again? Unsure. It is a marginal improvement in the overall texture but I am considering something else to really make a change to the wrinkles and thin skin. Updated on 30 Jan 2016: 1 month post treatment, I see another dermatologist in the hopes to seek a more aggressive treatment. She started me off with 0.05% tretinoin and 4% hydroquinone for 4 weeks use. This would serve as a pre-treatment for my skin tone prior to any aggressive lasers/other interventions. My photo above is after 1 whole month of religious hydroquinone and tretinoin use. Skin tone has calmed down and is closer to my original. It is red from the topicals. I use physical sunscreens every day no matter how overcast it is in the UK. Distressingly, the wrinkles and lines over the knuckles are the same prior to all of this. It is the fine lines and slightly crepey knuckle skin which reminds me of the sun damage. Some days, I think it isn't so bad but others I feel like it all could have been prevented with some sunscreen whilst out in the sun.... I hope to find a treatment which kind tighten and smooth out these lines. I see my hands all the time in my occupation.
