When does laser skin resurfacing surgery become a medical negligence claim?

Ageing, acne or sun exposure can leave your skin scarred, wrinkled, lined or blotched. Laser skin resurfacing surgery removes layers of skin and during healing, new skin cells will form and give the skin a tighter, more uniform look.

If mistakes are made during laser skin resurfacing surgery or during recovery, it can have devastating consequences and you may be entitled to claim for medical negligence.

The vast majority of our laser skin resurfacing cases are funded by a No Win No Fee agreement, meaning there’s no financial risk to you.
