The video from a global foundation reminds us how important our skin is and of the role ever developing dermatology treatment can play.
In the UK, 60% of people will suffer from skin disease at some point in their lifetime. Self induced damage to the skin, such as from sunburn is even more common, as are visible skin conditions, or scarring which affect our confidence.
Beyond being a shield for our body, our skin is part of our persona and deserves good care. We carry this out ourselves every day, through cleansing, hydration, or whatever our preference but there are times more is needed.
Dedicated Treatment
There is a UK shortage of consultant dermatologists, particularly within the NHS, yet the UK still offers high level support. Leading consultants practice here, technology is advanced in good clinics and research levels significant.
This is vital to continue to offer evidence based medicine in a busy field. The skills and experience of staff count but they accept that knowledge can be built on, new treatments appear which may be valuable, if they are effective.
Skin Care Network’s approach follows these paths. Consultants are respected members of their profession, our use of technology is exceptional, new treatments are taken on board but only when there is evidence to suggest they should be.
Even then, we carry out our own research and are prepared to offer a view that much thought should be given before embarking on certain treatments.
Keeping Patients Informed
The vast majority of dermatological treatment used in professional clinics is well proven but possible pitfalls should be shared. The same applies to opportunities advances may bring, which is why we began this news section.
Background topics are covered, along with safety in medicine, although there is a focus on development and research. Your individual condition counts above all when you attend our clinic but being informed also helps.
Confidence in treatment can make this more effective and acceptable, we hope the topics covered will add to your perspective on dermatological care. Follow the Dermatology News link below to choose an article.
