About Dr Rhead

Meet Pam and Gemma.

We first met over five years ago working together on the ward, and from day one we realised we shared the same standards, the same work ethic, the same attention to detail and the same approach to patient care. Pam opened the clinic in 2024 to create something different from the typical clinic experience: somewhere calm and welcoming, where patients feel genuinely looked after and never rushed. When Gemma joined in 2025 it made complete sense, because we already worked so naturally together and shared the same vision. We are committed to evidence-based treatments, ongoing training and natural, balanced results that help people feel like the best version of themselves.

Dr Pam Rhead

Aesthetic Doctor & Founder

Dr Pam Rhead (MBChB, MD) graduated in 2017 before moving from Spain to Northern Ireland, where she has worked in the NHS ever since alongside building her aesthetics career. She has worked across a range of medical and surgical specialties, and for the past five years as a Specialty Doctor. Pam loves combining medical knowledge with a natural, balanced approach to treatment. One of her favourite treatments is dermal filler, used subtly to restore balance, structure and softness without ever looking overdone. Her focus is always on results that feel fresh, elegant and tailored to each individual patient.

In the room

How appointments run.

Our priority is doing aesthetic medicine properly, with time, care and intention. We don't believe in 'treat and go'. We listen, take our time, and treat every patient as an individual, not a customer. How you're treated matters just as much as the result.

There is no such thing as a silly question. Ask everything. Then go home and think about it. The best decisions are informed ones.
