Dr. Lauren attends the EDIPHI Intense Aesthetics Masterclass in London.

EDIPHI Intense Aesthetics Masterclass

On Friday 19th January, I was excited and fortunate enough to be invited to attend the EDIPHI Intense Aesthetics Masterclass alongside 200 of the UK & Europe’s finest aesthetic clinicians at the Pullman St Pancras Hotel in London.

Delivered by the eminent Dr Tapan Patel,  it was an intense but brilliant day! 

Aesthetic medicine is one of the newest medical specialties to emerge in many years and it’s evolving rapidly, finding its place in medicine. 

I’m proud that in the specialty’s top echelons, there is a strong ethos of sharing knowledge and working together to make treatments as safe and effective as possible for our patients.

Tapan Patel is internationally recognised having been an injecting clinician for over 2 decades. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of his flagship PHI Clinic in London, he held this awesome day of learning to distill the key aspects of his vast knowledge and inspire us all – he’s good at that!

I learned a lot for sure – but I also felt validated when I saw how much of what he was talking about I am already delivering in my daily clinical practice! 

It was superb to be in the right room with the right people. 

Foremost among those people, was my great friend and esteemed colleague, Dr Nestor Demosthenous. We were joking recently that we have hardly any photos together despite being colleagues for nearly a decade – so a photo op was a must!

Bringing this inspiration, enthusiasm and deep learning back to my clinic and to all of you – my patients – is huge.

It ties in with one of my main aims:

To instill the confidence in you, that with me as your aesthetic doctor, you’re in the right hands.

This shift has given rise to regenerative

New World Order: The Rise of Regenerative Aesthetics

When cosmetic medicine first started making headlines, it was because it had everyone looking frozen in time. For many years, most popular anti-ageing treatments followed a familiar formula of “filling and freezing,” built around volume replacement and muscle relaxation. This approach often favoured quick visual results over long-term skin health.
