I have a passion for Medical Aesthetics which I believe has evolved from a longstanding love of the practical, technical and visual.
Having opened The Bloomfield Clinic in West Kilbride in 2013, I then opened the Ever Clinic in Glasgow in 2017. I additionally work in SK:N clinics in London Victoria and Harley street as well as Epsom, Esher and Glasgow.
I completed my MSc in Aesthetic Medicine in 2016. Having been invited to join the faculty, I now hold a position of Honorary Clinical Lecturer in Aesthetic Medicine, Queen Mary University of London (2016 – current).
My main areas of interest are facial volumisation and advanced laser procedures. I am one of a small number of UK doctors who provide fully ablative laser resurfacing. I have research and training interests, working as a country expert with Teoxane UK as well as leading the development of clinical trials in advanced laser practice. I also provide bespoke small group training in theory and practice of aesthetic medicine.
