First Clinic of its Kind Opens in Boots store, Solihull
sk:n, the UK’s No.1 skin specialist, has joined forces with the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust (HEFT) to provide specialist laser services within its brand new NHS Community Outpatients’ Clinic, located on the top floor of Boots store, Mell Square in Solihull. Previously, Solihull residents requiring NHS specialist laser treatment would have to travel to City Hospital for their treatment following an initial outpatient consultation with a HEFT Dermatologist Consultant. Now, patients can receive all their NHS laser treatment at the Community Outpatient Clinic.
“Here at sk:n we have been solving the nation’s skin problems for the last 20 years, but this collaboration between ourselves, HEFT and Boots UK, marks the start of a pioneering new partnership for us,” says Dr Sean Lanigan, Group Medical Director, sk:n. “We employ 10% of the UK’s dermatologists and all of our clinics are run by medical professionals who specialise in treating all kinds of skin conditions. We are delighted to be able to offer our expert laser and dermatology services within the new NHS Outpatients’ clinic.”
sk:n has 36 clinics nationwide and regularly features on Embarrassing Bodies and Ten Years’ Younger. It offers a wide variety of services ranging from mole checks and laser treatments for both unwanted hair and skin conditions, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, skin tags, birth marks, scars and stretch marks, to rejuvenation treatments such as dermal fillers and injectables, facial peels and microdermabrasion.
