Got a question? We have several ways for you to contact Canterbury Skin And Laser Clinic.
With an enviable reputation as the leading independent skin and laser clinic in Canterbury, we specialise in all aspects of dermatology and anti ageing treatments. We are one of the very few clinics in the UK where all medical consultations and treatments are provided solely by doctors with specific Dermatology experience and laser training.
The service is overseen by a Consultant Dermatologist with years of experience in all types of laser treatments, so you are assured of the best possible care at all times. We operate at two locations locally: a private clinic in Castle Street, Canterbury, and we also consult at the Chaucer Hospital. From May 2016, there is a regular clinic in Harley Street offering anti ageing treatments such as injectables and peels also.
We are able to offer a comprehensive range of skin and laser treatments including: Laser Hair Removal Laser Tattoo Removal Nlite Laser Acne treatment, Anti Wrinkle Treatments including Dermal Fillers and Wrinkle Relaxing Injections, Laser Spider/Thread Vein Removal on face and legs, Scar & Stretch Marks removal, Moles, Skin Tags, Wart Treatments and many more.
Why Choose us?
The Canterbury Skin and Laser Clinic is an award winning clinic in Kent, offering consultations with Dermatologists, Skin and Laser Specialists, Cosmetic Doctors and Aesthetic Nurses who are all qualified with years of experience to ensure the treatments you receive are safe and appropriate.
In October 2010, the Government implemented a change in the regulation of providers of cosmetic laser treatments, and some surgical treatments including the use of anti-wrinkle injections such as dermal fillers and neurotoxins by totally removing these from the regulatory body, namely the Care Quality Commission, that had previously overseen standards.
What this means is that anyone could now treat you with a class IV laser, or inject you with a filler, without any significant training! Your safety will inevitably be potentially compromised.
We can reassure you that the Canterbury Skin and Laser Clinic remains committed to providing safe cosmetic and laser treatments in an environment that is fit for purpose, and we remain registered with, and regulated by, the Care Quality Commission.
There are many so-called skin and beauty clinics opening now providing these sorts of services. Beware, most are not regulated by the Care Quality Commission, and the practitioners will have limited, if any, experience in treating patients, with the majority being unable to make a proper dermatology diagnosis!
The equipment and the product they use may be of inferior quality or bought on line. We recommend you take extreme caution when choosing a practitioner and clinic to provide your cosmetic treatments.
At the Canterbury Skin and Laser Clinic, we are dermatologically trained doctors who are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of skin-related problems. That is what we do, and have been doing for many years!
An unregulated clinic does not have to do undergo any regulation and training steps to ensure your safety, and will not have the training that doctors like us have had to undertake, and continue to update.
At the end of the day, who will you trust to treat your face or body? Surely a medical practitioner who has had the best training, years of experience and with ongoing training and regulation is the appropriate person. Would you trust anyone else?
As an independent clinic, we do not have a team of sales people who are there to try to sell you unnecessary treatments. We have only responsible, professional doctors and therapists who provide expert, ethical, appropriate and individual advice to you. We are able to offer an extensive range of possible treatments at very competitive prices.
We provide expert diagnosis, advice and treatment for you. The same doctor will see you through your treatment programme from start to finish, ensuring continuity of care every step of the way. Why settle for less? Come to us, the experts in skin assessment and treatment.
One of our friendly advisors will contact you to answer any questions you have about Canterbury Skin And Laser Clinic.

I went to see Dr Alice Hudson-Peacock regarding chin fillers as I have a small and slightly receeding chin. I have been to various aesthetic practitioners and was getting disheartened that no practitioner seemed to understand my issue around my small chin or how I wanted to address it (I have had other fillers in my lips and also botox so I'm no stranger to the wonders of filler). Dr Hudson-peacock did a thorough consultation with me and listened to my concerns (of looking like a witch with a pointy chin) She was great! We started with 1ml and both reviewed how it looked. I did not feel under pressure at all to have any further filler but was so delighted I decided to go for the 2ml. Dr Hudson-Peacock has really done a fantastic job enhancing both my side profile and my front profile. I'm flabbergasted at what exactly the other practitioners could not do which Dr Hudson- Peacock did with such skill she made it seem simple. Probably testament to her abilities. I won't be going anywhere else for cosmetic work from now on. It looks very natural, very subtle yet it makes such a huge difference to the balance of my face. Thank you again!
