As the year comes to a close, I just wanted to say thank you.

To those who’ve trusted me with their skin and care this year — it’s genuinely a privilege.
And to everyone who follows, watches, comments, questions, challenges, or quietly learns along the way — I appreciate you more than you probably realise.

This space isn’t just about aesthetics or skincare. It’s about education, honesty, curiosity, and doing things properly — and I’m grateful to share that with such an engaged community.

I’m heading into the Christmas break feeling thankful, grounded, and excited for what’s ahead.

Wishing you a restful festive period, good health, and a positive start to the new year.
See you in 2026 — with more science, more clarity, and plenty more skin talk ✨

His Majesty The King, has been a strong voice for cancer awareness and it was pleasing to hear some positive news with his own cancer journey in his announcement to the nation, last week. Asked for my comments, I even got my own box in the double page spread (thank you to the editor et al😁) IMPORTANT: Please visit screeningchecker.co.uk to check if you or your loved ones qualify for any free screening in the NHS. We are lucky to have this provision in the UK so take advantage of it.

The * was because this was going to be a joke…to say I’d be speaking about all the amazing food I was going to eat! 😋 😂 But the lovely people at CosmoProf found out I’m going and have kindly invited me to speak on an ‘expert’ panel. 🫶🏽 So the title is genuinely valid now. 😁 Regardless I am so excited to be going back to India after almost 2 years. The schedule is very busy and it’s for work but the food stories will come for sure 😂

I’ve treated many challenging lips and faces before…from burns survivors to those with facial paralysis (post surgery, post stroke etc) and others. Another such case presented here but these always bring me the most satisfaction; not only because I love a challenge and having to think much more in the strategy of treatment but because of the emotional factors involved for both me and my patient. A lovely young lady who had a lip/cleft palate repair at birth and wanted to get some balance in the lip.

✨ This Diwali, I’m reminded that the festival of lights is more than a cultural celebration — it’s a powerful symbol of hope, resilience, and the triumph of light over darkness.

Though rooted in Hindu tradition, Diwali transcends religion. Across South Asia and beyond, it’s a time to reflect, forgive, renew relationships, and choose goodness — over ego, over hatred, over fear.

In today’s world, where conflict, division and uncertainty can feel overwhelming, the message of Diwali couldn’t be more relevant:
💡 Let’s be the light in someone’s darkness.
💡 Let’s stand for truth, compassion, and unity.
💡 Let’s keep choosing the better path, even when it’s harder.

Wishing everyone — whatever your faith or background — a Diwali filled with peace, purpose, and light. 🪔💛

I’m pleased to be joining the Gloves Off Panel: Aesthetic Treatments – Trendy or Timeless? at this year’s CCR London.⁣
⁣
In a landscape driven by innovation, social trends and evolving patient expectations, it’s more important than ever to discern what’s genuinely effective from what’s just trending.⁣
⁣
I’ll be joined by a wonderful line-up of practitioners for a conversation led by Alice Hart-Davis, as we explore:
✔️ What treatments are gaining traction
✔️ What’s falling out of favour
✔️ What has proven staying power in modern aesthetics
⁣
If you’re attending CCR London, I’d hope to see you there.
⁣
🗓 Thursday 25th September
🕓 16:30 – 16:55
📍 In Practice Theatre

Thanks to Living360 for featuring my comments and opinion on Kim Kardashian’s latest launch, the Skims Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap.

While the product makes bold claims about sculpting and tightening the face, I explained why there’s little scientific evidence to support long-term results. At best, compression garments may offer short-term improvements in puffiness through fluid redistribution, much like the marks left on your skin by tight socks.

I also highlighted the potential downsides of prolonged compression, such as skin irritation, impaired lymphatic flow, and barrier disruption if used incorrectly.

When it comes to achieving real, lasting improvements in facial tone and skin health, my advice remains the same: focus on evidence-based solutions such as energy-based devices (radiofrequency, ultrasound), collagen-boosting skincare, and maintaining good lifestyle habits.

It’s always encouraging to see a wider conversation about beauty standards and product claims, and I’m glad to contribute a voice of science and clarity to the discussion.

Yesterday marked 78 years of India’s independence (15th August 1947). A day not only of remembrance, but of reflection. For me, as a proud Brit of Indian heritage, it is a moment to honour the courage of my parents who journeyed here from India, and the resilience of a nation whose roots run deep in science, philosophy, and healing.

India’s contributions to the world go far beyond politics or history. From the wisdom of Ayurveda — a system of health and balance thousands of years old — to yoga, meditation, and plant-based remedies, many of these traditions now find resonance in Western medicine and lifestyle. We are rediscovering that true health is not just the absence of disease, but the harmony of body, mind, and spirit.

As a doctor, I am reminded that progress is not about choosing between East and West, but about learning from both. Modern medicine saves lives. Ancient medicine teaches us how to live. Together, they offer us a path not only to longer years, but to better ones.

So today, I celebrate my Indian heritage, my British identity, and the universal pursuit of health and freedom. 🌍✨

Happy Independence Day 🇮🇳

I’m pleased to have my comments featured in The Industry Beauty, responding to the Government’s new measures for our sector.

As many of you know, patient safety has always been my top priority. While this announcement is a positive step forward, especially for high-risk procedures like filler injections to the breasts and ge****ls, we must ensure these protections are not just proposed but enforced. And of course, we also need the government to show more urgency regarding the wider sphere of aesthetic procedures too!

Legislation must be clear, robust, and implemented without delay, because every day without it is another day patients remain at risk. Let’s keep the pressure on, keep the conversation alive, and make sure these changes become law.

Grateful to have my comments featured in the latest piece by PBL Magazine, covering the government’s long-overdue crackdown on unsafe aesthetic procedures.

As many of you know, I’ve been vocal for years about the urgent need for tighter laws to protect patients, not just regulations, but actual criminal consequences for those performing high-risk treatments without proper qualifications or facilities.

This is a welcome step in the right direction. Let’s keep pushing for real change in our industry.
