Lord Terrence Bartlett has owned and run private hospitals for most of his career. Terrence pioneered the marketing of hair transplantation in the early 1970’s whilst in his teens. In 1979, in conjunction with an eminent orthopeadic surgeon, he imported two carbon dioxide laser machines into the UK from Israel which were used for tattoo removal. This was considered groundbreaking at that time. Many medical papers were written about the technique and the method was then marketed to the general public. At that time, the only way to remove a tattoo was by surgical excision and this left horrendous scars. The skin grafting techniques of that time were considered unacceptable for many people. This revolutionary new technique enabled thousands of people all over the UK to remove their unsightly tattoos. Lord Terrence Bartlett then migrated to argon lasers, and yet again, in conjuction with another consultant surgeon, marketed the treatment for the removal of port wine stains (nevaus) from the face and other parts of the body, of adults and children.
Terrence Bartlett pioneered the marketing of hair transplantation in early 1970’s and his Belvedere Clinics were amongst the first to offer tattoo removal and port wine stain removal services. Terrence Bartlett is believed to be the first person to have coined the word ‘liposuction’ – a word now recognised by many and a procedure for which the Belvedere Clinics are highly rated.
The Belvedere Clinics are located in London, Essex and Kent. Further information can be found at http://www.belvedereclinic.co.uk/
