Why Choose Southface Dermatology Clinic in Dorset?
Southface is a dermatologist‑led clinic with a team of NHS‑trained Consultant and Specialist Dermatologists and experienced aesthetic nurses. The clinic is led by Dr Helen Robertshaw (MBBS, FRCP) — a consultant dermatologist with decades of dermatology and skin‑surgery experience — supported by specialists (Dr Liliana Luna, Dr Alice Plant, Dr Andy Hodder, Dr Julia Martin and Dr Angela Gregory) and aesthetic nurses including Amanda Carr and Sharon Gallagher. Practitioners hold recognised medical qualifications and memberships and offer medical dermatology, skin cancer care, advanced dermatological surgery and accredited aesthetic procedures.
