Doctor-led aesthetics in Kensington
Kensington is a neighbourhood of museums, embassies, gardens and a notably international resident base, and the patients we see from SW7 reflect that mixture. We consult with London-based professionals who have lived in the area for decades, alongside clients who divide their time between Kensington and homes in the Gulf, Europe or North America, and the conversation around aesthetic care often spans different cultural reference points for what looks “natural” or “appropriate”. Alula Aesthetics is led by GMC-registered doctors Dr. Fouad and Dr. Qadeer, and our London offering is built around exactly this kind of nuanced, individual consultation. Our SW7 catchment runs from the museum quarter around the V&A and Natural History Museum, through Kensington High Street and the streets around Holland Park, out towards Earl's Court and Gloucester Road. Many of our patients work in finance, law, the arts, academia or the diplomatic community, and discretion is non-negotiable.

We deliberately keep our consultations unhurried and do not stack appointments back to back, so there is genuine time to discuss medical history, current skincare, prior treatments and longer-term aesthetic goals. Common treatment requests from Kensington patients include carefully dosed anti-wrinkle injections to soften the upper face without flattening expression, structural midface filler placed conservatively to address volume loss, Profhilo as a skin-quality treatment that complements existing dermatological skincare, and HIFU for those exploring non-surgical options for skin tightening around the lower face and neck. We have particular sensitivity around the cultural variation in aesthetic preferences across an international clientele: what reads as “refreshed” in one cultural context can read as “overdone” in another, and we spend time discussing that calibration during consultation.
As a doctor-led clinic, we are clear about the medical framework around prescription-only treatments. Botulinum toxin requires a qualified prescriber, a face-to-face assessment and informed consent. We do not deliver treatments without that framework, regardless of how short the patient's available window is, and we are equally happy to defer or decline treatment when the clinical picture suggests we should.
For Kensington clients researching aesthetic care, looking for a second opinion, or seeking a doctor-led clinic that fits the standards expected from the rest of their healthcare, an initial consultation with us is the sensible first step.
A medical practice
that happens to do beautiful work.
Aesthetics has long been served by salons and unregulated practitioners. Alula was built differently — by doctors, for patients who expect medical-grade governance with the polish of a luxury clinic.

Begin with a doctor-led consultation
A consultation is the only way to determine the right treatment plan for you — or to discuss whether one of our training courses fits your practice.
Refined treatments. Rigorous training.
Patient-side, our doctors deliver bespoke treatments grounded in medical assessment. Practitioner-side, we run CPD-accredited training for qualified medical professionals.
Begin with a doctor-led consultation
A consultation lets us assess your medical history, agree expectations, and recommend the right treatment plan — never the other way round.
Standards you can verify.
In a market crowded with non-medical providers, we lead with the credentials that should always have been the baseline. Here is what makes Alula Aesthetics different.
Run by doctors
Alula Aesthetics is led by Dr. Fakher Fouad Gendy and Dr. Nazia Qadeer — UK doctors who hold full professional registration with the General Medical Council. Every consultation, treatment plan and procedure starts with medical assessment.
Medical governance
We operate under General Medical Practice (SIC 86210). That means written consent processes, a documented complications protocol, sterile clinic environment, and traceable medical records — the standards expected of any reputable medical practice.
CPD-accredited training
Our training programmes for medical professionals are CPD accredited. Foundation, advanced and intimate-aesthetics courses are taught by clinically active doctors — never by sales reps.
Transparent pricing
Pricing is confirmed in writing at the end of your consultation, before you commit. We don't believe in pressure or upselling. If a treatment isn't right for you, we'll tell you.
A medical practice — refined.
Whether you are considering a treatment or training to deliver them, the right place to start is a conversation with one of our doctors.
