Who To See For Cosmetic Treatments

When it comes to cosmetic treatments, finding someone reputable is key. In a world of unregulated practitioners, social media advertising and too-good-to-be-true package deals, solid recommendations are the route to good, natural-looking results. Here’s our list of UK-based doctors we trust and recommend if you’re on the lookout for the right expertise.

Dr Benji Dhillon

The Define Clinic, Beaconsfield

After training in cosmetic plastic surgery, Benji developed an interest in facial proportions and how treatments – including Botox – can restore people’s confidence. Learning that small changes have the power to transform lives, he set about helping people feel like the best version of themselves. He also prides himself on choosing the treatments which will work best for each individual and, more often than not, it’s a combination of things – think Botox, filler and laser facials – to earn the very best outcome. Whether you want to tackle the early signs of ageing or just want to look less tired, Benji will be able to help in a minimally invasive way – he will also be totally honest with you and discuss what’s not achievable.

Dr Wassim Taktouk

Taktouk Clinic, Knightsbridge

A cosmetic doctor, trainer and lecturer with 11 years’ experience, Wassim comes highly recommended within the industry. He also runs The London Academy of Aesthetic Medicine, teaching doctors his specialist techniques. You can find him at the Taktouk Clinic in Knightsbridge, where an impressive treatment menu offers a wide range of options. Not one to follow trends, he knows everyone’s face deserves to be treated differently. By focusing on what you need, rather than changing your features altogether, the results are subtle but effective. Both his non-surgical nose job and the ‘W Lift’ are hugely popular, the latter being a bespoke, non-surgical facelift that replaces natural volume loss and corrects age-related changes. He’s also recently begun offering Ultherapy Prime. As one of the first to have access to this new machine and technology, it means as little as one session a year, little downtime and longer-lasting results – think firmer, tauter-looking skin that’s fresh and bouncy within a few months.

Dr Nina Bal

Facial Sculpting Clinic, Belgravia

With over 400,000 followers on Instagram, Nina is one of the most sought-after skin aestheticians working today. Like everyone on this list, she follows a strict ‘less is more’ philosophy, moving away from tight or overly obvious results – you can fully trust her to enhance your natural look. Her services include cosmetic dentistry, facial aesthetic treatments and non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments. But before you start, you’ll have a thorough consultation – again, there’s never any pressure to decide anything on the spot. One popular treatment is the Endolift + Profhilo – a procedure that tightens skin for a more sculpted, smooth appearance.

Dr Bibi Ghalaie

Doctor Bibi Clinic, 10 Harley Street

As an A&E doctor, part-time lecturer and now a leading cosmetic doctor, it’s safe to say Dr Bibi Ghalaie’s career has taken her in more directions than one. After years of training, she’s now medical director at The Doctor Bibi Clinic, carrying out procedures for some high-profile clients. For Bibi, the most important thing is untraceable results – she never wants her patients to look like they’ve had work. She opts for results which look ‘enhanced’ not too ‘done’. Her UnderEye Reviv – which targets hollows and shadows in your under-eye area – is one of her most requested treatments. So is WholeFace, a liquid facelift that uses dermal fillers to create gentle glow.

Dr Foued Hamza

The London Welbeck Hospital, Welbeck Street

Based between London, Paris and Malta, Dr Foued Hamza is a highly skilled plastic surgeon specialising in contouring procedures. With decades of experience in the field, he is a respected member of several prestigious plastic surgery societies, including the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ASPRS) and the French Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SoFCPRE) – in other words, for slightly more invasive treatments, you’re in the safest of hands. Alongside his expertise in body contouring, he also offers injectables, brow lifts and face treatments – including his newly introduced chin and jaw lipo treatment, which takes under 30 minutes and focuses on gently and carefully removing excess fat for a tauter, more defined jawline. Using only the best technology – including a new, mini needle – and tiny incisions, there is minimal downtime yet immediate results.

After beginning work as a plastic surgeon, she went on to gain two fellowships in facial plastics at London’s Imperial College NHS Trust and Chelsea’s Westminster NHS Trust. In high demand for treatments like Botox, fillers, lasers and peels, her bespoke plans have one aim: to revitalise your complexion in a noticeable yet natural way. If that wasn’t enough, she’s also channelled her expertise into her own skincare line – MZ – which is known for its effective but gentle results. Look out for the clever Glow Boost Ampoules which boost radiance in an instant.

No matter your concerns, Dr Maurice will be able to help with friendly advice and a calm demeanour that will never make you feel pressured.
