A brave young woman turns her ordeal into a blessing for others…
Katie Piper is a brave young woman rebuilding her life after surviving a brutal attack where sulphuric acid was thrown in her face.
Before the attack, Katie was at the beginning of a budding career in modelling and TV – a glowing future for a young, vibrant woman.
Piper had hoped for a full-time career in the media, but in March 2008 in North London, sulphuric acid was thrown at her face by Stefan Sylvestre. The acid attack, which blinded Piper in one eye, was arranged by Piper’s ex-boyfriend, Daniel Lynch. Both Sylvestre and Lynch were arrested and are serving jail time for their crimes.
Katie’s strong spirit shines through her ordeal as she has turned to helping others who face similar challenges.
The Katie Piper Foundation was set up to make a difference to burn survivors with the vision of creating advanced burn and scar management and rehabilitation clinics accessible to anybody who would benefit from specialised treatments.
The burn rehabilitation clinics will include daily pressure therapy using controlled, standardised and customised care with the help of LPG Endermologie machines, manual massage, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and silicone treatment, plus psychological support.
Katie Piper is proof that disfigurement doesn’t have to destroy lives and its her mission to make the best of the sad trauma she has endured.
Katie has tirelessly shared her story in the hope she can increase awareness and support burn victims by sharing information about the kind of rehabilitation she had and her experiences in getting to where she is today
Katie received a combination of simple and cost efficient treatments proven to be most effective in improving the appearance of burns and scars.
These included intensive deep tissue massage, one-to-one specially adapted physiotherapy exercises, Endermology machines that work at softening the skin and making it more malleable, hydrotherapy and high pressure jet therapy and silicone treatments alongside the wearing of pressure garments.
