Hello Interloper!
Menu
I work with customers to enhance their innate and natural charms and help to reduce some of the visible signs of premature skin ageing. I have a duty to safeguard the health and wellbeing of my patients, and if their skin ‘goals’ are unrealistic or accompanied by an erratic or depressive behaviour that has an unnatural fixation upon their physical features, I will recommend that the patient visits their G.P. before I agree to carry out any treatment, so that the underlying psychological symptoms of the disorder can be appropriately and effectively targeted by skilled professionals.
If you, or a loved one, are concerned about Body Dysmorphic Disorder, contact your GP for advice and support. For more information, please read the NHS advice on Bosy Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).
