We at Skin Camouflage Services are delighted to announce that we now offer some innovative options for camouflaging larger areas of visible skin difference.  

We have been receiving enquiries about a product fairly new to the UK called Microskin™ and you may be curious to know whether this could be the cover solution for your skin difference, whether that be altered pigmentation or scarring. Developed in Australia, Microskin™ is a durable, ‘second skin’ technology which stays on the skin for several days while allowing your skin to breath and move as normal. It can be applied using a sponge or air brush technique which is particularly good where a larger area needs to be camouflaged. It does not rub off and is waterproof. If not actively removed using a serum, it will simply shed over a few days just like skin cells until you reapply it.  We are proud to share with you that Vanessa Jane Davies is currently the only expert medical skin camouflage practitioner in the UK certified to provide Microskin™ consultations.

However, being an independent practice means we are not bound to any one product and so have the freedom to ensure that we can select the right product for your needs. None of the products in our repertoire is a ‘one size fits all’ solution for every skin camouflage requirement.

We now have Microskin™ and a number of other effective camouflage pigments particularly suited to covering larger areas, one other new product can also be applied using an airbrush and does not require ‘fixing’, another option is an easily applied body cover cream which is applied much like you would a moisturiser or with a body brush.  Each product type has different merits for different applications, whether it’s the range of colour options available to achieve an accurate colour match or getting the coverage needed whilst still achieving a natural look. Getting the right colour match, the right coverage and the right application technique for you is key to the success of your skin camouflage. Realistically, this can only be achieved by consulting an experienced, independent expert. When you come for your appointment, Vanessa will take into account your individual skin camouflage requirements; your colour match and your lifestyle to find the right solution for you. We want you to be happy with your skin camouflage and confident about your appearance so you can forget your skin differences and get on with your life. 
 
This is why we are offering a consultation especially for larger area skin camouflage needs. We will have the range of products described above available on the day to ensure we can select the best colour match, coverage and lifestyle choice for you. We cannot guarantee that any one particular product will be the correct choice for you, this will be assessed on the day. When we have agreed the best choice together, we are happy to arrange delivery of the products and any equipment you may need directly to you or, you can order them directly yourself.

Covid-19 update - We are delighted to welcome you to your face-to-face consultation!
 
As Britain marches forward with an unprecedented vaccination programme and the eventual appearance of some much-needed sunshine, we can begin to look forward to a summer that more closely resembles ‘normal’. That said, whilst we embrace that the Covid-19 risk is currently receding in the UK, it has not gone away and we must proceed towards a relaxation of precautions with care. 
 
Your wellbeing and that of our team continues to be our priority. We would like to reassure our patients and referrers that we continue to adhere to the strictest Covid-19 precautions at all of our clinics:  Ten Harley Street, London, The Broad Street Practice Stamford, our GP Practice in Harrogate and hospital locations. Our team is also encouraged to take up their vaccination offer as soon as it is available to them and those with close patient contact have regular lateral flow tests.

You will need to complete our Covid-19 screening questionnaire sent to you by email prior to your appointment to assess any issues that may put you at greater risk or to determine whether you should possibly take a test before you attend. Please ensure you are well for you, but most importantly free of potential covid symptoms before you attend your appointment, you will be required to complete a health declaration on the day.  
 
You should be aware of and be willing to comply with our policy regarding face coverings, hand washing and social distancing. ​If you have an authorised exemption from wearing a face covering, we will need you to provide evidence of this.
 
We are asking you to follow just a few rules to continue to keep each other safe. If you have any questions or are unsure about something, please do contact Sue Ward on
020 467 8466 who will be happy to help. We look forward to seeing you very soon!

Skin Camouflage Services has a proud reputation for providing expert medical skin camouflage to those effected by visible skin differences in the UK at Ten Harley Street in London’s premier medical quarter since 2007. What you may not realise this that we have also been providing the same excellence with compassion for a host of international patients during that time.

Our international patients reach out to us for help in many ways. Whether that be self-referral, referrals by clinicians overseas familiar with our work and where treatment is Embassy funded. We know that access in medical skin camouflage is sadly lacking in so many people’s home countries. Even during this year of Covid 19 restrictions all over the world, we have continued to receive enquiries about treatment from as far away as Argentina, Los Angeles, New York, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, India, South Africa, Australia, and Europe to name but a few!

With Covid 19 international restrictions making it difficult to travel to London, we have been surprised by the volume of international patient enquires we have continued to receive. It occurred to us that while we have all had our lives impacted by Covid 19  this has also been a time for reflection and a time for many to focus on how we want to live when we get through this.

The skin conditions our enquirers would like help with are as varied as the countries from which they hail!  They include Melasma, Vitiligo, Rosacea, Hypo and Hyper pigmentation following injury, including scarring from surgery, trauma, and burns. We also receive a high number of enquiries from those looking for help with managing their scarring following self-harm as they move forward with their lives. We know this last year of Covid 19 restrictions and anxieties has been particularly hard for many. All of these visible skin differences impact the way a person faces their world, wherever in the world…and they are all conditions we can help with.

Like to know more?  We can arrange an initial, confidential video consultation to assess your skin camouflage needs.  We can then begin planning the best bespoke treatment options ahead of your appointment here in the UK.

• Step 1. Book your International Patient Video Consultation from anywhere in the world to discuss and plan your skin camouflage needs ahead of your trip to the UK.  Please note, actual skin camouflage colour matching and practical / tuition cannot be conducted remotely, for this you must proceed to Step to 2.
• Step 2. Proceed to book your skin camouflage appointment at 10 Harley Street London. 

We are a wholly independent practice with world class products available which means we can select the best product and technique for your individual needs.

In addition to the more traditional skin camouflage creams and pigments we can also provide help where scarring is indented /ridged or around prosthetic margins with topical silicone dermal fillers.

We are also proud to be able to now announce that our founder and expert lead, Vanessa Jane Davies is the only Skin Camouflage Expert in the UK to be certified to provide a revolutionary, long lasting ‘second skin’ technique suitable for a number of skin conditions and injuries.
