About Us
National Clinical Consultancy
Vanessa Jane Davies established Skin Camouflage Services in 2007, an independent expert practice offering medical skin camouflage and more recently non-invasive scar therapy.
Based at 10 Harley Street, with five further clinics across the UK, Skin Camouflage Services is ideally positioned to serve both the national and international community for medical skin camouflage, scar therapy consultations and treatments.
Skin Camouflage Services provides an expert report writing service for the legal and healthcare professions including Expert Witness quantum reports for the Court in personal injury and clinical negligence claims and Cost Reports for rehabilitation.
Skin Camouflage Services have the enviable position of offering skin camouflage and specialist scar therapy to men, women and children with a fully integrated wraparound service with our professional colleagues.
Our work with UK Trade & Investment (OMIS) to introduce skin camouflage to the burns units in hospitals in Perth Western Australia was a mile stone in development as a world class provider. We were selected as a UKTI business case study which has led to international referrals from London embassies particularly from the Middle East.
