The Medi-Shed 2.0 is officially open! Hurray!

Hi everyone,

I am delighted to share with you the news that The Medi-Shed 2.0 is now officially open! The restoration of this listed building has taken 9 months to give it back it's original glow. It has been a LABOUR OF LOVE and taking it on in it's negelcted state was a very scary decision! However it's all complete now for us all to enjoy. Below is a snapshot of the interiors styled with 'Alice in Wonderland' in mind:)

Did you know? that The Medi-Shed 2.0 used to be a dispensing chemist in the olden days.

Built in the mid nineteenth century, the terrace is Grade Il listed and has so much history within the building. One of the features that attracted me to this building was the original listed sign 'Prescriptions Prepared' (I'm prescribing all day!) in a building that was really neglected. I used to pass this building daily on the school run as we used to live down the road. The shelving is all original and we had many debates to work out what to do with them - in the end this is what I decided in the picture above. We have tried to restore and display as many original features as possible to make this building shine again and have been overwhelmed by the local support and praise. The apothecary bottles displayed are all original and there are boxes and boxes of them! Two jars we found even has my name on it - 'DIL' (probably short for dilutions!) so this property was meant for me:)

I've been able to express my creative side to hopefully create something special where patients attending will feel happy.  I hope you enjoy the clinic's elegant and inviting ambience, coupled with my medical expertise. There isn't a medical aesthetic clinic that looks quite like it! The Medi-Shed aims to restore beauty and inner wellbeing through personalised patient plans using cutting edge treatments, medical grade skincare, supplements and the very best in medical aesthetic technology.

We had our first patient event where many patients experienced the new Medi-Shed with an elderflower cordial or a Prosecco! We had 3 OBAGI specialists on site to launch our NEW consultation tool - Observ 520x which helps me make more informed decisions when choosing treatment plans and selecting the right products for you. Many skin concerns arise in the deeper skin layers and only become more visible over time. Many patients even booked in for skintrinsiq facials too. It was a great success so we will definitely have these events 3 times a year so don't worry if you missed out! Below is a snippet of a lovely some lovely patients enjoying and jiving whilst having an Obagi skintrinsiq facial and skin scanning in clinic:)

Did you know?  The Medi-Shed 2.0 has its own 'SECRET GARDEN' We can use this

space to hold educational and fun events, chill out, enjoy a cuppa tea, have conversation and connection, have a stretch and even exercise, bringing the community together - a local community l've been part of for the last 25 years!

Nothing comes easy in life - but effort is always rewarded - that's the phrase my kids hear on repeat:) We are restoring wellness through medical aesthetics - It's time to upgrade your skin forever!

I can't wait to welcome you on your next visit to The Medi-Shed 2.0

Four treatments that WORK to give you glowing skin this summer!

Hi everyone,

Many patients do come in complaining of lacklustre skin and feeling like their skin has lost its glow... so let me talk to you about 4 tried and tested treatments that can get your skin glowing. You can have all of them or have a bespoke treatment plan made for you after a consultation in clinic.

Glow with an Obagi Skintrinsiq facial with a blue peel radiance

Skintrinsiq has innovative pneumatic technology which gently lifts the skin- to open channels into its surface layers. The Skintrinsiq device extracts impurities under blue light to deeply cleanse the skin. We follow with a blue peel radiance - which is excellent for acne or pigmentation prone skin or general rejuvenation. We then infuse proven Obagi products bespoke to the patient with a red light through those open channels. Incoming GLOW! You can have this treatment monthly or seasonally!

Glow with a bespoke Obagi Medical Skincare plan

Who's wants fresh beautiful skin for summer? Put your hands up! Using the Obagi-C RX system skin can be rejuvenated from the inside-out . Get in touch via the website to purchase:) Consultation is key. We are always told to 'love the skin we are in' however if you have sun damaged or pigmented skin there are certain creams that can really help you achieve ultimate skin health. These products used consistently will give you a GLOW!

Glow with Profhilo hyaluronic acid treatment

 Profhilo is highly purified hyaluronic acid which is injected into the skin. It initially hydrates the skin and goes on to stimulate collagen and elastin production for a rejuvenating effect giving our skin a glow. Hyaluronic acid is a water binding molecule that can hold 10,000 times its weight in water and as we get older, our bodies produce less and less of it. At the Medished aesthetic goals are much more natural with a focus on being the best version of you. It's important to keep your skin hydrated – without sufficient moisture the skin can have premature wrinkles. Profhilo works to cure the wrinkle from within, like an under skin moisturiser, stimulating collagen and in turn reducing fine lines and wrinkles. You can have this treatment every 4 months.

Glow with a course of medical microneedling Skinpen treatments

With medical micro-needling with Skinpen the downtime involved is minimal. It can vary depending on depth of treatment.This is as holistic as possible in aesthetic medicine as NOTHING is injected! It’s collagen induction therapy! Your own body doing the leg work:) The procedure uses very small needles to prick the skin which generates new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer, more toned skin. Microneedling is a safe procedure and best results seen at 28 days:) Topical anesthetic available and is needed prior to treatment. A course of microneedling will give you the GLOW!

Hope that helps, let's get you glowing!!

I'm the first dentist in the UK to pass the MBCAM masters degree in Aesthetic Medicine!

Hi everyone!

I am delighted to share with you all that I have passed the MBCAM Examination to becoming a Full Member of The British College of Aesthetic Medicine - A Masters degree - for which I'm the first dentist in the UK to achieve!! It's an absolute career highlight for me:)) so I wanted share my news with you all.

I took this two part exam and studied for it in order to achieve the highest standards of aesthetic practice for my patients - This qualification will elevate my practice especially with us moving to our new clinic soon at 81 Nightingale Lane, SW12 8NX

(I'm so happy thou that I will never have to do another exam!)

Professional integrity is central to my approach – I only ever give treatments that I believe will help you - the patient - both for your appearance and wellbeing... and in order to be able to do that I am committed to life long education in this field of medicine:))

What is BCAM?

The British College of Aesthetic Medicine (BCAM) exists to advance safe and ethical aesthetic medicine for the benefit of medical practitioners and members of the public. They represent doctors and dentists in a unified manner, protecting their interests, promoting high standards of patient care and working with government to improve regulation in the aesthetic medicine sector.

BCAM was founded in 2001 by some of the pioneers of aesthetic medicine and continues to represent members who are innovators in the field. The College puts patient care at its heart and campaigns for government regulation of aesthetic treatments such as medical devices, injectables and botulinum toxin.

Did you know...

The UK is the only country in the world that does not regulate aesthetic treatments, putting patients at huge risk. This is why we are seeing an epidemic of complications and botched treatments in the UK. I find this extremely worrying especially for the younger generation who may be less risk averse, not research their practitioner effectively and can be influenced by trends on social media. By choosing a BCAM member, you can be reassured you are being treated by a healthcare professional with years of medical training and experience with the clinics using safe licensed products.

All BCAM members are:

• Are registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) or General Dental Council (GDC) with a licence to practice

• Must meet the stringent requirements of the College to gain and retain their membership

• Must attend regular educational and scientific meetings

Google review

The Medi-Shed is dedicated to enhancing both the outer radiance and inner balance

for everyone, empowering you to look and feel your very best at every stage of life.

It’s an exciting new chapter - I can't wait till we move there, show you around and hope to make it a centre of excellence within the industry:)

Anyways here is a picture of me with the examiners and some colleagues after our final exam!!
