Experienced Skin Camouflage Practitioner with extensive NHS hospital and private practice experience, alongside a career in dermatology nursing.

This combined clinical and practical background provides a comprehensive understanding of skin conditions, scarring, pigmentation differences, and the psychosocial impact of visible skin changes.

I specialise in skin camouflage within medicolegal and rehabilitation contexts and am a Certified Expert Witness (CEW). My work includes the assessment of visible scarring and skin changes, with independent opinion provided on the suitability of skin camouflage.

This may include recommendations regarding appropriate products, anticipated usage, and replacement requirements where relevant to quantum considerations.

Instructions commonly involve the assessment of visible scarring following injury, surgery, burns, dermatological conditions, or pigmentation changes. Reports address the potential role of skin camouflage in long-term management, including practical application, durability of results, and likely ongoing product requirements.

Recommendations are provided within the limits of skin camouflage practice and do not extend to medical diagnosis or surgical treatment.

My dermatology background also includes experience in phototherapy services, providing additional clinical insight into dermatological conditions and treatment pathways that may contribute to visible skin changes.

Skin camouflage involves the precise colour-matching of specialist creams and powders to the surrounding natural skin tone. Clients are instructed in application techniques to achieve a natural appearance and reduce the visual impact of scars or skin conditions.

When correctly matched and applied, skin camouflage can significantly reduce the visual prominence of scars and pigmentation differences and may support improvements in confidence and social participation.

I accept instructions from both Claimant and Defendant solicitors and can undertake face-to-face or remote assessments. Reports are prepared in accordance with CPR Part 35 requirements.
