Dr K’s Clinic

Hello, I’m Dr Maeve Kenningham and I am the medical director of the award winning Dr K’s Clinic. I specialize in advanced non-surgical aesthetic treatments that deliver outstanding results. I’ve been an NHS GP for over 20 years and also have post-graduate qualifications and hospital experience in Dermatology. I have worked for the Royal College of General Practice as a GP trainer, which is a testament of the high standards of medical excellence and care that I adhere to. I work from my boutique and private clinic in the countryside in Burton, between Chester and Wrexham in the North West.

 

How do I know you are a safe Aesthetic Doctor?

Every year I am required to demonstrate how I meet all the standards expected of me as a UK doctor in my annual appraisal. This information is then collated and is the backbone of GMC revalidation and registration. There are numerous high standards I must demonstrate, one of which is that I keep abreast of the wide breadth of clinical knowledge in the branches of medicine that I practice in. I find this standard really easy to reach as I love to learn about the revolutionary techniques and new products in Aesthetic Medicine as I attend several conferences throughout the UK, meet with a peer group of practitioners monthly and scour my dermatology journals.

My clinic, patient list and passion for aesthetics have continued to grow and flourish. I have a multi-award winning and purpose built Covid secure clinic. Just have a look at what my patients have written in my Google reviews.

 

Why choose me?

Your face is structurally changing with age, even from as young as your 20s!

I have a thorough understanding of the particulars of the anatomical changes that occur with ageing. Did you know your bones, fat pads, muscles and skin all alter over time?

There are too many Aesthetic Practitioners who inject in a ‘colour by numbers’ style but this results in an odd fake appearance. The anatomy of the male and female face are fundamentally different so should be treated differently. I have an artistic eye to envision the final result and I always aim to make natural looking harmonious result to restore and improve the symmetry of your face.

Did you know it is legal for anyone to inject facial fillers into your face if you have given permission to do so?

Training certificates are given out to those without any medical experience or qualifications. I’m appalled by the number of unskilled people who inject products bought off the internet and sell these as cheap lips to an unsuspecting patient. Your face has critical structures under the skin that, if injected in a botched manner, can result in a disfigured face.

I have detailed anatomical knowledge of the locations and depths of blood vessels and nerves on the face and neck so my technical injecting skills are excellent. With all the treatments I administer (especially the fillers) I know what depths and planes of the face and neck are safe. Things can go terribly wrong when the wrong injector injects the wrong filler in the wrong location. You need to know your injector can deal with any untoward events, so make sure you choose an experienced medical clinician, like me.

I love the phrase you must buy the skill not the ml, as it speaks volumes when it comes to injectable procedures for all of the reasons I’ve outlined above!

 

If you have aesthetic concerns and want to invest in your appearance and your future skin health? I’d love to meet you, as I know I can help.
