MB BS BSC (HONS) PHD MRCP (DERM)

CONSULTANT DEMATOLOGIST, LONDON.

As an award-winning and highly coveted Consultant Dermatologist, Dr. Ophelia Veraitch has dedicated her career to the research, education and treatment of skin and hair conditions.

She has also developed a revolutionary new range of products for her clientele that mark a new era in skin and hair care.

“I chose medicine because I wanted to help people and feel fulfilled by a profession that is characterised by challenges and lifelong learning.

With skin and hair conditions dramatically impacting mental health and confidence in society today, I was inspired to pursue a clinical and academic career in Dermatology.”

'Dr Ophelia's hair tonics are amazing - I recently noticed hair thinning in my parting and around my hairline during lockdown. They are super easy to use (not too oily) and after a couple of months I could notice a huge difference. It's given my confidence back and I will definitely continue to use for further results!'

'Dr Ophelia prescribed me retinol cream for under my eye texture which has bothered me for ages! Previous Reinols had led to reaction/ flaking skin - however, Dr Ophelia was able to give me the perfect strength formula not to cause reaction - the texture is lovely & looking forward to the results!'
