The best dermatologist in London and probably the world – Dr. Firas treats acne, scarring and bruising and makes your face look basically new. He also is extremely attentive, responsive and treats his patients with the utmost care and follow up. Could not recommend him more!

I’ve been seeing Dr Firas for many years for various skin concerns mainly hyperpigmentation and melasma. I had 3 rounds of Pico laser and the results exceeded my expectations. Not only did my hyperpigmentation improve but I also got rejunaveted and smooth skin as a bonus. I highly recommend Dr Firas to anyone with skin concerns! He goes above and beyond, is very kind and most importantly honest about results.

Professor Firas is an amazing consultant who I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone. My son attends his clinic for a very complex condition and not only has Professor Firas provided outstanding treatment, he has shown nothing but respect and understanding towards him for the extreme psychological impact skin conditions can have. He truly cares for his patients and its proven in the extra mile he goes to provide support and forge an excellent patient/doctor relationship.

Best service and best person
Professor Firas is not only one of the best in his field but is also a great person. He is highly empathetic and very patient. He answered all my questions in detail and calmed me down as I was a little anxious before my first procedure. Now that everything is healed, the results look amazing, I couldn’t be happier!

After having a very bad dermatology experience I was left with many deep scars which now Prof Firas is helping me to reduce their appearance as much as possible. After his first examination of my skin he in detail explained to me the method he wants to use and why it is the best one considering my sensitive skin type and deepness of my scars. So far I have been treated with Venus Viva and with naked eye I can see visible improvements. Prof. Firas’ knowledge and experience in scar treatment is really the best. My mind is always at ease because he always answers all my questions. I wish he was the first Dermatologist I had visited in the first place.

Couldn’t recommend Dr Firas Al-Niaimi highly enough. I was treated by Dr Firas for acne and acne scarring after multiple failed attempts with the GP / other specialists. Dr Firas was professional throughout, explaining the different courses of treatment in detail. I’m extremely happy with the results of the treatment – they have exceeded my expectations.

Dr Firas has carried out several procedures for me. I am delighted with the results. I found him to be honest about expectations and really appreciated his advice on how to achieve the best, long lasting and natural results as well as how to spend wisely. All procedures went well, he was reassuring and very kind. I highly recommend him.

I have seen Dr Firas Al -Niaimi, for several Rosacea treatments over the course of a year. The results, have been amazing, very clearly a marked reduced redness and reduction in my skin inflammation. He is kind, and calm and makes time to listen and answer any questions I have, before having the treatment. He is the best dermatologist I have seen in London, for Rosacea and his passion for providing great skincare treatments is evident from his knowledge and research on this topic.
