— What drives us
Our mission, and
where we’re going
Our mission
To treat real skin concerns with real solutions
We only offer treatments we believe in. Every one has been hand-selected by our Medical Director following careful analysis of the clinical studies behind it, so that what we recommend is chosen on evidence rather than trend. We would rather tell you a treatment will not help than sell you one that will not.
Our vision
Dermatology-led skin care, made accessible
Specialist skin care should not sit behind a velvet rope. We want every patient who walks into Holborn to leave understanding their own skin, with a plan they can actually follow and afford, supported by complimentary consultations and interest-free finance.
— How we work
Process makes perfect.
Here’s ours
From start to finish we want to ensure you receive the very best treatment from our team of experienced professionals.
01
Skin education
Our experienced and highly qualified aesthetic practitioners will complete an in-depth and bespoke consultation with you, to deeply understand your skin concerns and treatment goals.
02
Skin recommendation
Before your first treatment you will receive a consent form along with useful information and pre and post-care guidelines. Your practitioner will talk you through the treatment and answer any questions you may have.
03
Skin treatment
Using state-of-the-art laser technology, clinical equipment, skincare treatments and products, we begin your bespoke treatment plan to aid tangible results and overall skin improvements.
04
Skin maintenance
Our aesthetic professionals will advise you on post-treatment aftercare to protect and treat the skin, and to maintain optimal results well beyond your last appointment.

Posted on Google honeymoon slayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Inna was extremely helpful and kind. I would definitely recommend this clinic!Posted on Google Vivian OngTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my first session with Kylie and she was fantastic at providing advice and super understanding with my problems. I did a Hyrafacial with her and she did a really good job on it. My skin felt so clean. Amazing team too!Posted on Google Josh ZahidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an appointment with Kylie for skin tag removal, and this was my second visit to the clinic but my first time being treated by her. At first, I was quite nervous and didn’t feel very confident about the procedure. However, as soon as Kylie started explaining the process and what to expect, she immediately put me at ease. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and clearly knows exactly what she’s doing. I chose to have the procedure without numbing cream, and to my surprise, I hardly felt any discomfort at all. As soon as the treatment was finished, I could already see excellent results. I would definitely recommend Kylie to anyone considering skin tag removal , ACP Treatment .. Thank you all ! See before and immediate after 🥰 great jobPosted on Google Vanessa JacksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a client of this clinic for a couple of years now and always find Kate extremely knowledgeable, personable and top tier customer service. I can see why she is in charge of running the clinic. I have had many microneedling and chemical peel treatments with Ellen and whilst I kept going back because she was so patient, skilled and knowledgeable, I also always enjoyed the little chats we'd have and the giggles. She always made the whole experience enjoyable. I am now a patient with the dermatology doctor and miss the ladies on the other side of the clinic! I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone interested in treatmentsPosted on Google Sadie MarshallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a millia removed and Kylie was fantastic! It was quick and easy and she was gentle not causing any pain! Would definitely reccomendPosted on Google Cameron PhillipsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kylie was great! Really pain free and quick treatmentPosted on Google Emily DeaconTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a consultation with Flor to discuss some loose skin on my eyelids, as well as skin tightening for my chin and jawline. She is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable, and took the time to explain my options while giving honest, realistic advice about what could actually be achieved. What I appreciated most was that I never felt like I was being sold a treatment. Instead, Flor genuinely listened to my concerns and recommended what she felt would be the most suitable approach for me. It was so refreshing to speak with someone who prioritises giving honest guidance over making a sale. I left the consultation feeling informed, reassured, and confident about my next steps.Posted on Google Farhana Akter Bristy-110Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was very helpful and informativePosted on Google Abel FernandesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professionalism and care.Posted on Google Corey ClarkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very skeptical of having laser as I did. It know what to expect. Leigh was very reassuring and approachable in making the whole experience comfortable. She even gave me a feel for the laser before my appointment in September by removing one cherry angioma. Now that’s great customer expectations! I have an appointment booked for September! Charlie
