Explanation

Both my husband and I attended with severe sun damage. My husband’s skin on his face was particularly bad. The treatment recommended by Dr Murphy was quite intense for 8 weeks but the results were amazing. His skin on face and arms are now back to how they were. It was so reassuring to have our whole bodies checked over and the advice given for future care was excellent. We would have no hesitation in contacting Dr Murphy in the future with any skin concerns. A lovely friendly helpful and supportive manner at every consultation .
