We are a local independent, national-award-winning clinic, and we care about your experience.
Dr Xavier and his experienced team have been helping people with their health, wellness, hair and skin for
over 20 years and it would be an absolute pleasure to help you too.
We first opened our doors in 2006 and we're now the longest-serving clinic of our kind on the
south coast that's doctor-led.
Over the years we've seen many changes in our industry, with sadly very little regulation and
so many providers offering treatments with zero medical qualifications! However, the one thing
that has not changed is that most people prioritise safe and trusted treatments in a professional
and caring medical setting.
Our clinic also has a number of patients who are doctors, surgeons and dentists, who entrust Dr Xavier and our team in treating them.
Over the years, we have been awarded a number of awards, as voted for by our patients,
judging panels of our peers and also mystery shoppers.
These include:
We are also "Finalists in the English Aesthetics & Beauty Award 2017". The awards promote & celebrate the Aesthetics and Beauty industry in England & ensure it has its own special place & awareness in a growing market.
Dr Xavier is an experienced practitioner in the field of aesthetic medicine after first training in botulinum toxin treatments
over 20 years ago! He is a well-respected and regular speaker at major
conferences throughout the UK and Europe and has also appeared on
national television and radio as an invited expert in cosmetic treatments.
Dr Xavier regularly trains surgeons, doctors, and other medical
practitioners in a range of medical aesthetic procedures and is a lead trainer
for a number of pharmaceutical companies and he also regularly writes articles for
professional journals and industry publications.
Dr Xavier is one of only a handful of doctors in the UK performing
the true deep (phenol) peels that can give dramatic results. In 2022, he was commissioned by a medical
education publishing company to write a book on chemical peels and the book entitled "Chemical Peels in Clinical Practice - a practical guide to superficial, medium and deep peels" was published and is sold internationally at medical conferences and online.

University Hospital Southampton at Southampton General where he worked for
several years in a number of disciplines, more recently in Neurology.
A few years ago, Luis moved from hospital practice into medical higher education at Solent University in
Southampton. He is the course lead in postgraduate nurse training and programme lead
