Anatomy first
Proportions, movement and facial structure guide every decision.
Medical Aesthetics · South Kensington
Aesthetics Clinic in South Kensington
Consultant plastic surgeons and medical clinicians delivering natural, balanced results. Evidence-based protocols, clear consent and calm, precise treatment.
Every plan is tailored to your features, medical history and long-term skin health rather than trends.
Less, but better
Good aesthetic medicine should respect anatomy, expression and long-term tissue health. The aim is not to chase trends or make every face look the same.
Consultant oversight
Injectables are planned and delivered by consultant plastic surgeons or our medical team.
Conservative treatment
Staged treatment and measured dosing rather than unnecessary intervention.
Joined-up care
Where useful, Skin Lab, peels, laser and facials can support a broader skin-quality plan.
Three ways we think about aesthetic treatment
Rather than choosing from a long list of procedures, it can be more useful to begin with what you are trying to improve.
Structure, movement & balance
Consultation-led treatment for facial structure, proportion and selected dynamic-line concerns.
- Dermal fillers for selected structural or volume concerns
- Wrinkle-relaxing consultations following face-to-face assessment
- Conservative planning and staged treatment
Hydration, texture & renewal
For concerns where improving the skin itself is more important than changing facial shape.
- Skin boosters and biostimulatory treatments
- Clinical peels from gentle superficial options to deeper resurfacing
- Skin Lab measurement to guide treatment planning
Pigment, redness & resurfacing
Technology-led treatment for selected vascular, pigmentation, texture and resurfacing concerns.
- IPL for selected pigmentation and redness concerns
- Laser treatment for vessels and skin quality
- CO₂ resurfacing where a more intensive approach is appropriate
A wider clinical view when needed
Skin Lab Analysis
Clinical measurement of hydration, elasticity, pigmentation, sebum and other skin parameters.
Explore Skin Lab →Hair & Scalp Health
Clinician-led assessment for shedding, thinning and receding patterns, with sensible investigation and treatment planning.
Explore hair loss →Dermatology
Where a skin concern requires diagnosis or specialist medical management rather than an aesthetic procedure.
Explore dermatology →Measure before treating
Skin Lab can make the plan more objective
Not every aesthetic concern needs an injectable. Skin Lab gives us measurable information about the skin itself and can help distinguish between concerns involving hydration, elasticity, pigmentation, barrier function and surface condition.
Measurements can include:
- Skin hydration
- Elasticity and firmness
- TEWL / barrier function
- Sebum
- Skin colour and pigmentation
- Collagen-related assessment
Safety, consent & appropriate treatment
Before anything is decided
We take a medical history, assess the area in person and discuss likely benefits, limitations, alternatives, risks, downtime and cost.
- Clear consultation and consent
- Sterile clinical technique
- Complication planning
- Written aftercare where appropriate
- Follow-up built around the treatment
Sometimes the answer is another specialty
If dermatology, laser or another clinical service is more appropriate, we will recommend that route instead.
Prescription-only medicines are not advertised. They are only considered after a face-to-face assessment confirms suitability.
From consultation to follow-up
Consult & plan
A calm assessment of your goals, medical history, facial dynamics and skin quality. Options, benefits, risks and realistic timelines are discussed before anything is decided.
Treatment
Where treatment is appropriate, it is carried out with conservative dosing or settings and precise technique. Treatment can be staged rather than doing everything at once.
Review & aftercare
You receive clear aftercare. For wrinkle-relaxing treatment, a complimentary review at around two weeks is available; other treatments are reviewed according to their clinical pathway.
Frequently asked questions
Who will I see for my consultation?
Most aesthetic consultations are carried out by our consultant plastic surgeons or experienced medical clinicians. Where another specialty is more appropriate — for example dermatology or laser — we can arrange this instead.
Do you offer prescription treatments?
We provide consultations where prescription-only medicines may be discussed. These are only offered after a clinician confirms suitability in a face-to-face assessment. We do not advertise prescription medicines.
Will I look “done”?
Our approach is conservative and proportionate. We prioritise balance, subtlety and skin quality so treatment respects your existing features rather than imposing a particular aesthetic.
Is there downtime?
It depends on the treatment. Some procedures have minimal downtime, while deeper peels and certain laser protocols involve visible healing. Your clinician will explain the likely timeline before you decide.
Can treatments be combined?
Often, but sequencing matters. Skin Lab, gentle peels, LED or skin-quality treatments may complement another plan, while stronger procedures need appropriate recovery time.
Do I need to know which treatment I want before booking?
No. A consultation can begin with the concern rather than a named procedure. If the treatment you initially had in mind is not the best fit, we will explain the alternatives.
