I have had acne for 10 years, after trying everything at home including different prescriptions from my GP, nothing worked until I visited The Specialist Skin Clinic.
I have been having HydraFacialβs every 8 weeks since July 2022 with Imtiaz who is extremely professional and clearly explains every step of the process.
I have been a patient of Dr Maria Gonzalez and Imtiaz for over 4 years. I initially went as I had pigmentation issues on my face. I was given a second to none service and a treatment plan.
Had my first treatment for freckle removal in February 2015 and am so happy to say that my skin is clear and 100% freckle free! My skin has never looked so good!
I’ve been to this new, sleek, streamlined and up-market office, well placed in quiet Whitchurch with loads of parking (a gem in this part of the world).
My Rosacea was becoming very painful and unsightly, very red and large spots, but after treatment it has all gone and I no longer need a heavy foundation make-up.
I have to say on booking my first appointment I was aware that I might not have the outcome I wanted, but I was so pleased after my first laser treatment.
If you have any skin issue, I highly recommend the Specialist Skin Clinic. I am actually from Gloucester, and despite having some dermatologists nearer to me, this clinic is so good the journey is well worth it.

There are many different forms of facial pigmentation, also known as melasma, solar lentigos, freckles, sun spots, and liver spots.
There are several treatments for facial hyperpigmentation ranging from topical creams to laser therapy. Our lasers have different wavelengths that specifically target different coloured pigment cells without heating the surrounding tissue. The pigment cells are safely destroyed.

Acne scars can be categorised as either atrophic and hypertrophic:
β’ Ice pick scars: The most common type of atrophic acne scar, these are narrow, deep, and sharply defined β’ Rolling scars: Wide and shallow atrophic scars caused by dermal tethering β’ Boxcar scars: Round or oval-shaped depressions with sharp edges that develop deep in the skin β’ Hypertrophic scars: Raised, firm lumps of scar tissue caused by excessive tissue growth

βHave had the best experience with Dr Maria Gonzalez and her lovely team! I was seen for a consultation in September as Iβve struggled with ice pick scarring due to acne and I was booked in for the CO2 treatment. If I could give more than 5* I would. I felt really taken care of from the moment I stepped through the door, all the ladies are so lovely and Dr Gonzalez, top dermatologist going! Canβt recommend enough - thank you guys!β
βI had a course of treatment for pigmentation removal with Cory. The results were absolutely amazing. The treatment from the beginning until the finish was professional and informative. Canβt thank her enough.
