Turn back time with Dr Nestor

Dr Nestor is one of Scotland’s more experienced Cosmetic Doctors. He talks to i-on about his passion for cosmetic medicine and his new centre, Dr Nestor’s Medical Cosmetic Centre, in the heart of Edinburgh.

What is cosmetic medicine?

Treatments focus less on changing your appearance or who you are, concentrating instead on non-surgically refining certain features, addressing signs of age, restoring natural, youthful, beautiful contours and restoring lustre and health to skin.

So can you make me look “10 years younger”?

Cosmetic medicine can help soften signs of ageing, gently correct facial asymmetry, achieve beautiful features and give our skin much needed hydration and tightening. It’s about looking like you on your best day. But it’s not about “10 years younger” so it’s important to have a healthy perception and realistic, natural expectations and end points.

Tell us about your new cosmetic centre

Dr Nestor’s Medical Cosmetic Centre tailors treatments to both men and women. It is a doctor led, patient centered clinic. We are by appointment only and adhere to every facet of medical ethics, from never carrying out procedures that are unnatural to strict client confidentiality. I currently do treatments on London’s Harley Street and it’s an honour to now contribute to the development of this evolving medical specialty in Edinburgh.

What kind of treatments do you offer?

We address male and female facial ageing with advanced minimally invasive treatments, and optimisation of skin health and management of skin problems. Furthermore we offer definitive solutions for hair loss concerns. Hair restoration surgery has become far less of a taboo, popularised by footballers and celebrities alike, appealing to any man with thinning, receding hair.

How did you become involved in this specialty?

I graduated from The Edinburgh University Medical School in 2006 and pursued a surgical career, gaining experience from several surgical specialties predominantly orthopaedic and plastic surgery. Alongside this I entered cosmetic medicine which became my passion and ambition. I am now a member of Health Improvement Scotland and currently work alongside them to implement regulations for clinics to improve patient safety.
