Real Patient ExperiencesRosacea Reviews

“I should have written this review years ago really. Back in 2004 I visited Dr Mervyn Patterson of Woodford Medical in Danbury about my rosacea face flushing. I flew in from the Netherlands for an initial consultation, asking whether or not we could do test patches with the IPL machine he had. Dr Patterson said that this wa snot necessary. I spoke out about my worries that the IPL could perhaps worsen my face flushing, but Dr Patterson assured me that it would either improve matters, or do nothing at all. I returned some time later for the IPL treatment, together with my mother and sister. It hurt terribly and I felt my skin burning. I used to flush only on the apples of my cheeks, but after the full face IPL treatment, my entire face (minus the forehead and nose) turned red to purple. I returned after around 6 weeks and was constantly on fire and flushed at this point. Dr. Patterson looked at it, said I was flushed indeed but blamed it on stress, since my sister had passed away recently. It was absolutely shocking. My rosacea worsened 10 fold since the IPL treatment and instead of taking any responsibility, he said it was not possible that his treatment did this and that we should not do any more treatments, and good luck with it all. It pretty much turned my life and health around and I still suffer from daily flushing and burning all over my face.
(I posted photos of my skin in a blog post which you can find by googling Disastrous IPL 2005, dr Mervyn Patterson).”

“Paige has been brilliant at helping resolve rosacea”

“Been getting my rosacea treated for the past 3 months, this is the first time in 10 years of having it that I feel it's been properly looked after. Emily is super informative, nice having someone who gets having this condition”

“I have been going to see Emily for over a year now and the difference in my skin is amazing It’s so clear. I had developed a small patch of rosacea which is now well under control and virtually gone with only the only minor flare up which is unnoticeable to anyone but me
Emily is lovely and it’s a great location”

“So pleased with the results! I really appreciated how Dr. McManners took the time to listen to me and explain my options. She told me what to expect and how we would get there. I've been getting so many compliments on how my skin looks - very happy!”

“Arranged a consultation with Kim for two reasons, the first being long term (chronic) acne, after years of GP advice and treatments and thousands spent of beauty products - treatments and therapies I did not have high hopes, but... I was wrong, Kim surprised me, she asked if anyone had diagnosed Rosacea? then advised me on a 'plan of action' starting with 'research' and pointed me in the right direction for the best info., then suggested specific topical creams. One week on ..... 'what a difference', what an improvement! for this Thank You - Thank You - Thank You xxx. Secondly my consultation included - as Kim affectionately termed as my No. 11's and her knowledge and advice has given me unreserved confidence to go ahead with Botox in the near future. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kim to friends and strangers alike.

“Excellent service from Diane. Having suffered from breakouts and not satisfied with the treatment provided by a dermatologist, I sought help from Diane. She is so professional and cares about the service she provides. She provided me with options and recommended the best treatment for me. She doesn't try to sell you products for the sake of it and actually cares about the concerns you have with your skin.
I would not go elsewhere and highly recommend Diane. You won't be disappointed if you go to see Diane.”

“I am delighted with the outcome of the ACP and IPL for rosacea. Very professional, friendly and helpful staff.”

“Dr Alison Warner is caring, professional and a pleasure to visit. An expert in her field, she really listens your needs and offers good advice. Putting you at ease,she talks through treatment options so you can decide what's best for you. I had IPL for Rosacea on my cheeks and after 1 treatment I saw a dramatic effect. My skin looks clearer and fresher and feels tighter. It has been liberating to go out confidently without wearing make up.Thank you Alison, I would highly recommend you to everyone.”
