The read

This Blackburn South practice is an official Lumenis-recognised specialist for the AcuPulse CO2 laser and positions itself as a recognised expert in acne scarring, run by a seven-strong dermatologist team led by Dr Desmond Gan. The FraxPro, picosecond and Ultraformer HIFU stack is strong on scar revision and wrinkles, though no dedicated BBL or IPL prejuvenation platform is named.
