What to Expect at Your First Skin Consultation
A skin consultation is more than a conversation — it is a clinical assessment designed to understand your skin at a deeper level. Here is what the process typically involves.
Aesthetic Physician
Dr. Elnaz Mirtaheri
Advanced Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation
Dr. Elnaz Mirtaheri is an internationally trained aesthetic physician with a special interest in advanced facial rejuvenation, structural facial balancing, and non-surgical lifting techniques. Educated in the United Arab Emirates and trained through internationally recognised aesthetic programmes — including a Diploma and Masters Course in Cosmetic Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine — she has dedicated her career to mastering the science of facial anatomy and translating it into refined, natural-looking results.
Rather than simply replacing lost volume, Dr. Elnaz approaches every face as a unique three-dimensional structure. Her treatments are designed to restore facial support, rebalance proportions, and recreate youthful harmony while preserving each patient's individual identity. Her signature expertise is advanced non-surgical face lifting — an anatomy-driven approach that restores the foundation of the face to achieve elegant lifting, improved contour, and natural rejuvenation without surgery.
Having treated patients from diverse ethnic backgrounds and nationalities, Dr. Elnaz has developed extensive expertise in recognising the anatomical differences between facial structures. She believes that beauty is never created by following a universal formula — every treatment is individually designed according to facial anatomy, ethnicity, ageing pattern, and personal aesthetic goals.
Every face deserves its own treatment plan.
Clinical philosophy
A considered approach to aesthetic medicine.
Consultation-led care
Every treatment plan begins with listening. A consultation is not a precursor to a sale — it is a clinical conversation in which the patient's goals, concerns, and medical history are carefully considered before any recommendation is made.
Anatomical precision
Aesthetic medicine is built on a detailed understanding of facial anatomy. Safe, effective treatment depends on knowing not only where to place a product, but where not to — and recognising how anatomy varies between individuals.
Honest assessment
Not every concern requires treatment, and not every patient is a suitable candidate for every procedure. Part of responsible practice is the willingness to recommend alternative approaches — or no treatment at all — when that is the right clinical answer.
Proportionate intervention
Less is often more in aesthetic medicine. Dr. Elnaz favours conservative, staged approaches over significant volume changes, allowing patients to assess results and determine whether further treatment is appropriate for them.
Long-term relationship
Good aesthetic medicine is not a single appointment. It is an ongoing clinical relationship in which the practitioner understands a patient's skin, anatomy, and goals over time — and adjusts the approach accordingly.

Treatments that stimulate the body's own repair and renewal processes — including collagen induction and regenerative injectables — to improve skin quality from within.
Skin Quality & Collagen Stimulation
Medical-grade protocols targeting skin texture, tone, hydration, and long-term structural integrity — focused on health as much as appearance.
Personalised Planning by Anatomy & Ethnicity
Treatment design that accounts for individual facial anatomy, ethnic background, ageing pattern, and personal aesthetic goals — because no two faces are the same.

Targeted injection protocols designed to address cellulite and body contouring concerns, individually assessed and planned.
Longevity & Healthy Ageing Strategies
A forward-looking approach to cellular regeneration and healthy ageing — combining clinical aesthetics with evidence-informed longevity medicine.
How Dr. Elnaz approaches every consultation.
A private, unhurried appointment with no set time limit — because the quality of the consultation determines the quality of the outcome.
A thorough review of your medical history, current medications, and any previous aesthetic treatments, to ensure safety and suitability.
A detailed clinical assessment of your face or skin, carried out in good light and with attention to anatomy, proportion, and individual characteristics.
An open and honest discussion of the options available, including what each treatment can and cannot achieve for your specific situation.
Clear information about what to expect before, during, and after any procedure — including recovery, aftercare, and realistic timelines for results.
A transparent breakdown of costs, with no hidden fees and no pressure to proceed during the consultation itself.
The opportunity to take time, ask questions, and return for a follow-up conversation before committing to any treatment.
What patients can expect.
A consultation with Dr. Elnaz is a clinical conversation, not a sales appointment. You are encouraged to ask questions, raise concerns, and leave without committing to anything.
Listening to your concerns, without time pressure or interruption.
Medical and treatment history review, to ensure safe and appropriate care.
Facial or skin assessment, carried out in a clinical setting.
Discussion of suitable options, including what is and is not advisable for you.
Realistic expectations for your individual situation — not a generic outcome.
Transparent information on costs and aftercare, with no obligation to proceed.
Time to decide without any pressure — at this appointment or another.
Safety and ethics.
All treatments are carried out in a clean clinical environment with medical-grade equipment and products sourced from regulated manufacturers.
Dr. Elnaz does not offer treatments to anyone under the age of 18, and follows strict patient selection criteria for all injectable procedures.
Informed consent is obtained before every procedure, with adequate time given for patients to read, understand, and ask questions about the consent documentation.
All medical records are maintained securely and in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.
Complications, however rare, are discussed openly during the consultation. Dr. Elnaz maintains appropriate protocols and training for the management of adverse events.
Any practitioner claiming that aesthetic treatments are without risk is not being honest. The goal is to minimise risk through careful assessment, proper technique, and appropriate aftercare — not to eliminate the conversation about it.
The clinic environment has been designed to feel calm, private, and professional — a space in which patients feel comfortable asking questions and taking their time. Appointments are not rushed. The experience from first contact to follow-up care is intended to reflect the same standard of care as the treatments themselves.
