Vets advised euthanasia the next day due to a suspected aggressive illness.

Overview

  • Holly Taylor, 33, was bitten on the cheek in March by her five-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Splodge, while watching TV at home.
  • The deep facial wound required stitches, led to marked swelling, and triggered significant psychological distress.
  • She underwent four personalised Fraxel laser sessions overseen by consultant dermatologist Dr Ophelia Veraitch.
  • Taylor reports reduced redness and smoother scarring following treatment, crediting the results with restoring her confidence.
  • Fraxel is described as a fractional laser that stimulates collagen remodelling, with sessions reported to cost about £800 each.
