The consultation is
the treatment plan

Twenty minutes, most of it spent examining your skin under several lighting conditions — because what looks like one problem is usually three or four, and each of them answers to a different instrument.

Patients travel to him from across Europe, the United States, Asia and Africa. What they come for is not a device. It is the sequence.

Biography

A decade spent on one difficult problem

Emil Mørk Henningsen is a specialist in dermatology and one of Denmark’s leading practitioners in cosmetic and aesthetic dermatology. Acne scarring makes up more than half of his practice.

In 2014–15 he trained under Professor Chu at the West London Dermatology Centre on NHS registration, where he learned the manual procedures of acne scar revision — subcision, chemical reconstruction, punch techniques — that remain the backbone of the work. He has since developed his own techniques and built an international network of colleagues in the field.

In 2017 he left the Department of Dermatology at Odense University Hospital to concentrate entirely on highly specialised treatment of acne scars, with a focus on laser treatment and manual procedures. In 2019 he founded Cutis Clinic in Odense; the clinic now operates in Odense, Copenhagen, Køge and Aarhus.

He treats patients from across Europe, the United States, Asia and Africa, teaches at dermatological congresses, and trains emerging dermatologists in skin and laser treatment. He describes his own approach as a fusion of science and art — which, watching him map a cheek under three different lights before touching it, is not as poetic as it sounds.

Most patients look for lasers, because lasers are found everywhere online. But lasers and energy devices are not the best treatment option for everyone. The key to success is addressing several scar types with a method tailored to each — and to your skin, your timeframe and the downtime you can actually take.Dr Emil Mørk Henningsen

How he works

The consultation is the treatment plan. Twenty minutes are reserved for it, and most of that time is spent examining your skin under several lighting conditions to separate what looks like one problem into the three or four different problems it actually is.

Only then does the discussion turn to instruments — which methods, in which order, over what timeframe, with what downtime and at what cost. Where the honest answer is that a treatment will not help you, that is what you will be told.

Photographs are taken in standardised lighting at every stage, so that progress is measured rather than remembered. For patients who travel, review by photograph between visits is part of the service.
