Doctor. Innovator. Disruptor in Aesthetic Medicine.
I don’t follow trends — I build what’s next.
Focussed on outcomes, not hype.
My career has unfolded in distinct chapters, each one shaping how I practise, speak, and lead today.
A Career in Medicine, Leadership & Aesthetics
The first was nine years as a Royal Navy Medical Officer, retiring with the rank of Surgeon Lieutenant Commander. It was there I learned leadership under pressure, clarity in decision-making, and the uncompromising standards that define serious medicine. Responsibility was real. Precision was expected. Integrity was non-negotiable.
The second chapter was NHS general practice, where I trained extensively in general medicine while developing a specialist interest in dermatology and aesthetics. General practice gave me something many in aesthetic medicine lack: perspective. An understanding of systemic health, risk, long-term outcomes, and the psychology behind why people seek change in the first place.
My third chapter began in 2011, when I entered aesthetic medicine — and quickly became known as a disruptor.
Rethinking Aesthetic Medicine
I questioned trends.
I challenged unsafe practices.
I prioritised evidence over hype.
While much of the industry focused on short-term cosmetic fixes, I became deeply invested in regenerative aesthetics — exploring technologies and treatment approaches that work with biology, not against it. I am drawn to interventions that stimulate repair, support tissue integrity, and operate at a deeper biological level where possible, rather than simply creating surface-level change.
Not everything needs to be novel. But everything should be rational, evidence-based, and purposeful.
Founder, Speaker & Clinical Leader
Today, I am the founder of Perfect Skin Solutions, an award-winning clinic recognised for advanced, science-led treatments, and CellDerma, a skincare brand born directly from clinical experience. Every product and protocol is grounded in real patient outcomes, biological understanding, and a refusal to compromise on standards.
Alongside my clinical work, I am a highly sought-after speaker and media commentator — equally comfortable taking live public call-ins on television as presenting to rooms of surgeons on advances in regenerative aesthetics. I am known for being authoritative and direct, but also for using humour to connect. Whether I am speaking to one patient or ten thousand delegates, I believe complex science lands better when it feels human.
I adapt my language to my audience without ever diluting the substance.
I am often described as charismatic and disruptive — not because I seek attention, but because I refuse to accept mediocrity in medicine or aesthetics.
At my core, I remain a doctor first.
I believe exceptional aesthetics should look invisible.
That innovation must be evidence-driven.
And that trust is earned through outcomes — not marketing.
I am not here to follow trends.
I am here to raise standards and shape what comes next.
