I’ve been seeing Professor Firas Al-Niaimi at GHB Clinic for almost two years now for the removal of a large (10x10 cm) café-au-lait macule (birthmark). Every other dermatologist I consulted before hesitated to treat it with a laser, but Dr Firas was confident and experienced enough to take it on. From day one, he was very realistic about what to expect — the number of sessions required, the possible need for retreatments over the years, and the fact that it might not disappear completely.

The recovery after each treatment can be quite painful, and it usually takes around four months for the redness to start fading, but I’ve learned to trust the process. The results have been very encouraging so far — the macule has been gradually disappearing like a puzzle coming apart, just as Dr Firas had explained.

He also treated an area on my face where I had melasma previously treated by another professional about five years ago, which led to skin discolouration. The melasma pigmentation had started to reappear, but after Dr Firas’s treatment, not only did the melasma completely disappear, but the skin tone returned to normal after a few months.

The clinic itself is excellent, always clean, and the staff are consistently friendly and polite. I couldn’t recommend Dr Firas and GHB Clinic more highly for anyone seeking expert laser dermatology treatments. Show less »
