LONDON, UK and BRISBANE, Australia, June 1, 2016 - Microskin plc (MLSKN:Euronext Paris) announced today the continued expansion of the company's worldwide network of clinics with the opening of licensed clinics in Canada, India and the Middle East. Bringing the total to nine clinics around the world that offer a personalized solution to create a color-matched, waterproof 'second skin' to conceal or camouflage skin conditions. The six other clinics are located in Australia, Estonia, New Zealand, Turkey, and the United States.
"The great need for our world-leading second skin product has propelled the expansion of Microskin's worldwide network of clinics to Canada, India and the Middle East," said Barry Amor, chairman of Microskin plc. "People around the world are searching for second skin solutions for something as simple as camouflaging a tattoo to the profound effect of covering noticeable skin conditions like vitiligo, allowing our clients to feel like themselves again."
Since the opening of its first clinic in Brisbane in 2005, Microskin has assisted people from all over the world with skin-related conditions, including vitiligo, birthmarks, burns, eczema, lupus, and keloid scarring. Vitiligo is a condition where the skin loses color in blotches. Different than heavy foundations or makeup, Microskin's second skin does not rub off, allows skin to breathe, and lasts several days.
"Microskin's superior color correction system is individually formulated to each person's skin, so our clients feel confident in their appearance and are pleased with how it feels and how long it lasts." continued Mr. Amor. "We are especially pleased to have a licensed clinic opening in India, which has the largest population of people per capita with vitiligo."
The first clinic in India is expected to open in Coimbatore by the end of the summer, with multiple clinics opening across the subcontinent in the next three years. The first licensed Microskin clinic in Canada will be located in Toronto and is expected to open in June. In the Middle East, Microskin has completed training with the National Center for Vitiligo and Psoriasis, and the first clinic is expected to open in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in June.
