You are at the centre of a consultation with Dr. Ophelia Veraitch. From openly discussing your skin and hair concerns to having the opportunity to ask any questions, she will also delve into what products you currently use or have used in the past. Dr. Veraitch will need to understand how your condition affects you and the impact that it is having on your life.

Following this, you will receive a thorough examination and Dr. Veraitch will review any photos that you bring along to support the diagnosis. Clinical photographs may also be taken in order to assess your response to treatment.

In most cases, a diagnosis can be offered at this stage of the consultation and written details of the condition and proposed treatment options will be provided. This will enable you to consider all options at home before making a final decision as to which course of treatment you prefer. Dr. Veraitch will also prepare a personalised care plan for you to take away at the end of your consultation.

In some cases, further investigations, such as blood tests or a skin biopsy, might be required before a final diagnosis can be made. If necessary, these will be arranged either following your appointment or on a separate visit.

Following your appointment, Dr. Veraitch and her team are happy to answer any questions you might have, to ensure that you understand and have confidence in your treatment plan.

Only treatments supported by solid evidence will be recommended.

As a practising Consultant Dermatologist Dr. Ophelia Veraitch noticed an increase in patients reporting skin allergies and sensitivities. On scrutinising the formulations of products her patients were using; she was surprised that many contained ingredients known to cause skin allergies. Many shoppers are also unaware that it is repeated exposure to these culprit ingredients that can increase your chances of developing a skin allergy.

All Dr. Ophelia products are formulated without any ingredients known to cause skin allergies based on the European Baseline Series. The European Baseline Series is a list of the 30 most common ingredients that can cause skin allergies and was developed in 2016 using years and years of research and collated by the European Environmental and Contact Dermatitis Research Group (EECDRG).

The Dr. Ophelia products can be tailormade to suit specific allergies and sensitivities, plus the Skin Serums are fragrance and paraben free.
