Aesthetic Doctor in Kingston upon Thames
Choosing who treats your face matters more than choosing which treatment you have. Dr Ashi is a GMC-registered GP with over twelve years of clinical experience, offering doctor-led aesthetic medicine from a private clinic in Kingston upon Thames.
Book a ConsultationWhat "doctor-led" actually means
The aesthetics industry in the UK is largely unregulated. A great deal of injectable treatment is delivered by practitioners with no medical background, working to a prescription written remotely by a doctor who has never met the patient.
Seeing an aesthetic doctor in Kingston changes three things.
Medical assessment before treatment
A doctor is trained to spot the things that make a treatment unsafe or unsuitable: autoimmune conditions, neuromuscular disorders, pregnancy, medication interactions, unrealistic expectations, and body dysmorphia. These are assessed as part of consultation, not skipped.
The prescriber is the injector
Dr Ashi assesses you, prescribes for you and treats you herself. There is no remote prescribing and no handover between practitioners.
Complications are managed by a doctor
Vascular occlusion after filler is rare but is a medical emergency. Dr Ashi carries hyaluronidase, holds the training to recognise and manage occlusion, and is contactable directly if something concerns you after treatment.
