About South West Dermatology
South West Dermatology is a specialist skin clinic offering medical skin treatments and cosmetic rejuvenation. Led by Consultant Dermatologist Dr Anthony Downs, who spent over a decade as the Exeter skin cancer lead clinician and regional MDT chairman for advanced skin cancer management, the clinic combines clinical expertise with aesthetic innovation.
The clinic provides comprehensive diagnosis and management across a wide range of skin conditions. These include acne with bespoke treatments tailored to individual needs, psoriasis and eczema with nutritional support, and rosacea treatment. For skin concerns like suspicious moles, skin lesions and pigmentation issues, full diagnostic screening and treatment options are available, including mole screening and pigmentation treatment.
Advanced aesthetic treatments include anti-wrinkle injections, laser skin resurfacing, and thread vein removal. Laser therapies address multiple concerns: hair removal, tattoo removal, and facial rejuvenation. The clinic also offers cryotherapy, facials, and a structured skin health programme. Complementary wellness services include aromatherapy massage and medical and birth trauma therapy, alongside waxing for hair removal.
With memberships in the British Association of Dermatologists, British Society of Dermatological Surgeons, British Medical Laser Association, and other leading professional bodies, South West Dermatology combines consultant-level dermatological expertise with modern aesthetic techniques. Whether seeking treatment for a specific skin condition or cosmetic enhancement, patients receive evidence-based care in a clinical setting.
