Laser Treatment Restores Confidence After Traumatic Dog Attack

In March 2025, Holly Taylor, a 33-year-old woman from South Shields, UK, experienced a traumatic incident when her beloved Cocker Spaniel, Splodge, suddenly lunged at her face, leaving her with a deep bite on her cheek. The attack left Ms. Taylor with physical and emotional scars, and she struggled to leave the house, look in the mirror, or interact with others, feeling like a "shadow" of her former self.

However, after the attack, Ms. Taylor underwent a series of Fraxel laser treatments, which she claims "changed her life." The pioneering procedure, which costs around £800 per session, stimulated her body's natural healing process and helped to soften her scars and rejuvenate her skin. Under the care of leading dermatologist Dr. Ophelia Veraitch, Ms. Taylor's scars became less red and smoother in texture, and her overall skin quality improved, allowing her to regain her confidence.
