The Laser Centre

The Laser Centre of the South West is part of the Plastic Surgery department at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol, UK.Opened in 1992 by Mr John Kenealy, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, it was one of the first centres in the UK to offer skin laser treatment and treats patients from all over the South West.All staff operating the lasers are fully qualified doctors or nurses who have received specialist training in skin laser treatment. We operate several different lasers and treat a wide range of skin conditions.We treat both NHS and private patients.We hold a general anaesthetic list twice a month for children who are too young to tolerate laser treatment without anaesthetic.  We have a specialist paediatric anaesthetist who administers the anaesthetic.  Older children are often able to tolerate treatment without anaesthetic or with the use of anaesthetic creams.  This will be discussed at your assessment appointm

In The Laser Centre, we hold a camouflage clinic once a month. Our camouflage make-up specialist can advise you on how best to cover a skin lesion and will match your make-up to your skin type.   Outlook is a confidential service for children, adolescents and adults who experience social or psychological difficulties as a result of having a visible difference or appearance concerns.
