It's an absolute truth that where the Kardashians go, millions will follow, so when Kylie Jenner removed the fillers from her over-inflated lips it opened the flood gates fpr a return to a more natural look.
And among the worldwide followers who slavishly hang on to every word and action of the Kardashian family is a doctor who is equally delighted in the move away from obvious enhancements.
Dr Raph Mohammed is the man behind Dr Raphael Aesthetics which has just opened its first clinic in Newcastle on Gosforth High Street.
With impeccable credentials and years of experience both in general medicine and in facial aesthetics, he now divides his time between the North East and his clinics in both Liverpool and Dublin.
Dr Raph’s mantra is subtlety is beauty” with a firm belief that facial aesthetics should be discreet but can still achieve a fantastic result.
He’s open about the fact that if he doesn’t think a treatment is right for a patient, he will advise against it.
For me aesthetic treatments are not about creating artificial looking faces, it’s about subtle beauty and getting a natural result,” he said.
Dr Raph, worked for many years as a GP set up community dermatology services on behalf of Gateshead PBC and worked with the Newcastle RVI dermatology department, before moving into the field of aesthetics.
His use of state-of-the-art techniques and impressive results – which includes everything from full facial rejuvenation to liquid rhinoplasty” altering nose shape without the need for surgery has made him the go-to doctor for both celebrities and the general public.
At the same time he has opted for treatments that use a cannula rather than a needle, which means there is often less bruising and less swelling.
The fact that the products he uses are geared towards refining and recontouring, reshaping and enhancing means that the clinic already has patients of both sexes and from their 20s to their 70s.
Dr Raph has also become the go-to practitioner for lips, so much so that he has also ran masterclasses for other aesthetic doctors and nurses both nationally and internationally.
We can make a huge different without the need for very obvious changes which can make someone virtually unrecognisable,” he said.
We pride ourselves on our integrity and ensuring that everything we do is right for the patient.”
