Aesthetic Physician with a wealth of experience in cutting-edge as well as evidence-based techniques and treatments

After many years of intensive study, Duncan was appointed as Consultant Interventional Radiologist at University College London Hospital in 2006. Today, he is an internationally- recognised expert in minimally-invasive, image-guided percutaneous interventions.

His interest in aesthetic medicine and surgery developed when he worked as part of the plastic surgery team at The Middlesex Hospital in 1999. As new and exciting aesthetic procedures were developed and introduced into clinical practice, it was clear that aesthetic medicine was the perfect fit for Duncan’s expertise, experience and passion.

By learning from leading doctors and pioneering practitioners, Duncan has brought a fresh, radical approach to the ever-evolving area of aesthetic medicine. It’s this approach that can be seen so clearly in L’Atelier today.

Emma grew up in New Zealand, she studied health sciences at University in both Auckland and Christchurch and qualified with a bachelors degree in 2006. She then embarked on a successful career as a radiographer, working at specialist centres in New Zealand, Australia and the UK.

Relocating to London allowed Emma to embark on a new chapter of her working life. Her research at university had led to her become a passionate advocate for healthy lifestyle choices, and in particular the importance of skin health, she translated this passion into training and added vocational qualifications beauty therapy (NVQ level 3) and aesthetics to her health sciences degree.

At L’Atelier Aesthetics Emma leads our skin care programme development and is particularly skilled in skin peels and microneedling. More recently she has also undergone training in mesotherapy, which is an area she feels can really complement her other areas of expertise.
