Southface Dermatology
Holistic, expert care for skin, hair and women’s health
Southface Dermatology has built a reputation as a leading centre for advanced skin cancer care, medical and cosmetic dermatology, alongside women’s health. In this Q&A, Dr Helen Robertshaw shares how the clinic’s specialist expertise, cutting-edge technology and holistic approach are helping patients achieve exceptional skin health and long-term wellbeing.
Southface is recognised as a centre of excellence in skin cancer treatment and surveillance. What sets your clinic apart from other private skin clinics?
Our team is composed of highly specialised skin cancer experts with extensive experience leading local services and advising on best practice. Patients can be confident they are receiving the most accurate, up-to-date diagnosis and management available. Our skin surgeons are exceptionally trained in both cancer treatment and restorative techniques, and we offer non-surgical options not routinely available on the NHS, providing excellent outcomes with minimal or no scarring. We also use advanced digital technology for mole assessment, operated by an experienced skin cancer specialist nurse, enabling us to detect early changes before they become cancerous.
You offer medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology as well as women’s health services under one roof. How does this integrated model improve patient outcomes?
Dermatologists understand the value of a holistic approach. We manage both simple and complex skin concerns while integrating lasers, aesthetic treatments and regenerative medicine. Science, clinical skill and a whole-person philosophy work together seamlessly to deliver the best possible results.
Tell me more about your Women’s Health Services.
Hormones have a profound impact on skin, hair and overall wellbeing. We are fortunate to have Dr Sarah Aulds, an accredited menopause specialist, and Dr Alice Plant, a consultant in vulval dermatology who also runs an NHS service. We additionally provide specialist pelvic physiotherapy for men and women with bowel, bladder and pelvic-floor concerns.
What have been your highlights this year?
As an expert acne clinic, we offer the full range of established treatments along with groundbreaking options unavailable on the NHS. We were proud to be awarded AviClear Provider of the Year for the South of England. AviClear is a non-drug treatment that delivers long-term acne clearance.
What are your plans for 2026?
We aim to share more of our “best kept secrets,” expanding access to the latest regenerative treatments — including exosomes, polynucleotides, skin-lifting technologies and advanced laser therapies—for natural, non-surgical rejuvenation.
