When it comes to skin clinics, they're a dime a dozen in our capital city. But it can be increasingly difficult to determine which ones are actually worth your time and money. Be it aesthetic treatments such as dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections, expert dermatology advice or facials and peels, I've been to many skin clinics in my pursuit of finding the best skin clinics in London.
The following nine have to be the cream of the crop, with stylish, luxe interiors as well as unbeatable expertise and service, no matter what kind of appointment you're looking for.
1. TakTouk Clinic
A haven from the busy streets of Knightsbridge, the TakTouk Clinic (founded and led by renowned doctor Wassim TakTouk) won 'Clinic of the year' in 2023 at the Aesthetic Medicine Awards. A personal favourite of mine, the location is unbeatable for everything from injectables to facials. The gorgeous, chic interiors are worthy of their own Instagram feed, and the glorious staff are both friendly and discreet.
Treatments on offer
The TakTouk has expanded its offerings in the years since its inception. Once known solely for aesthetic treatments such as filler, anti-wrinkle injections and skin boosters, the clinic now is a one-stop shop for all things skin. While I'd advise booking in for injectables and the like with either TakTouk himself or the glorious Dr Christine Hall, you can also secure appointments with Professor Firas Al-Niaimi, an incomparable derm with decades of expertise, or the lovely Nadia Aminian, who offers one of the best Hydrafacials in London.
Where is it?
The TakTouk clinic is situated in Knightsbridge at 56 Knightsbridge Court, 12 Sloane St, London SW1X 9LJ. Prices vary depending on the type of treatment you are booking in for. Find out more here.
2. Montrose London
The esteemed Montrose London clinic is a five star offering in Sloane Square, known for its unbeatable expertise and grand interiors – seriously, it's like stepping into a deluxe London hotel. From the plush sofas and cushions to the calming music, the fact this clinic is housed behind a private gate only adds to its sense of luxury. The front of house staff here are always welcoming and can never do enough for you, while co-founder Dr Jonathan Dunne is a one in a million for his derm expertise and kind demeanour.
Treatments on offer
The Montrose offers a series of brilliant face and body treatments, from oxygen facials to laser treatments, along with injectables and anti-wrinkle appointments. Whether you book in for a special facial or choose to seek aesthetic appointments, you won't regret choosing this place. We want to give Montrose a special shout out for having one of the most user-friendly treatment menus in the industry - it tells you everything from the price and length of treatment, to how painful it is and how much downtime you'll need. Genius.
Where is it?
Montrose London is set just off of Sloane Square in London at 9 W Eaton Pl, London, SW1X 8LT. Prices vary dependent on the type of treatment you are seeking and the consultant you see. Find out more here.
3. D. Thomas Clinic

The clinic has become so popular, it's welcomed a number of well-known faces such as Jourdan Dunn, Vogue Williams and Richard Madden.
Treatments on offer

7. Skinesis Medical at Sarah Chapman
If ever I need assistance with my skin, one of the first experts I think of is Dr Alexis Granite (and her office at Skinesis Medical). Not only is the environment welcoming, chic and understated, I also know I am going to receive the very best treatment and care. Dr Alexis certainly knows her stuff, with over 14 years of clinical experience in the US and UK as a dermatologist and aesthetic expert, and an appointment with her should not be taken for granted.
Treatments on offer
The clinic offers a host of treatments with Granite herself, Consultant Dermatologists Dr Lauren Penn, Dr Zainab Laftah, or Oculoplastic Surgeon Dr Adriana Kovacova. Available at the chic clinic are derm consultations, peels, skin boosters, injectables, and laser technologies. I recommend starting with a consultation to discover what your skin craves most. You can of course also visit the Sarah Chapman Clinic for bespoke facials with facial massage, micro-needling and LED.

Headed up by celebrity facialist Joanne Evans, the clinic is home to a number of expert aestheticians and therapists who will take care of your every need in a warm, kind manner. This is not the kind of place where you'll be met with minimalistic furniture and sleek lines, but the community spirit vibes and Autumnal colours make it just as chic.

You can't talk about skin clinics without the mention of Harley Street – and for me, there's only one place that comes to mind above all others: Dr Sam & Associates. Set up by renowned dermatologist Dr Sam Bunting (whose bestselling product line is as iconic as she is), the clinic combines top skin experts with stylish, luxe surroundings. Along with Dr Sam, you'll find world-leading derms Dr Mia Steyn, Dr Rishika Sinha and Dr Rakesh Patalay.
