Our Response to Covid-19

At Sheer Laser & Skin Clinic, we always pride ourselves on cleanliness and very high levels of hygiene. We provide clinical treatments in a clinical environment, where infection control has always been of the utmost importance.

Since re-opening post lockdown, we have introduced additional measures to our Clinic procedures to enhance our infection prevention and control measures to ensure we are Covid-19 secure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

✔ We have undertaken a thorough review of our Clinic and the services we offer.
