Dr Oli Curwen

Dr Oli graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from medical school, having first completed a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Biomedical Sciences. He is a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (MRCS) following surgical training at one of the four UK surgical Royal Colleges.

His advanced injectable training was completed with two of the UK's most established aesthetic-medicine training providers — Derma Medical (the country's largest accredited aesthetic training body) and the Harley Academy. He is a member of the Aesthetics Complications Experts Group (ACEG), the UK clinical-network specialising in the diagnosis and management of injectable complications.

Alongside his aesthetic practice, Dr Oli operates as a colorectal surgical doctor with the NHS — the surgical training and detailed knowledge of human anatomy that role requires informs his approach to aesthetic medicine. The face is a complex layered structure of bone, fascia, muscle, fat compartments, and vasculature; safe injectable technique depends on knowing precisely what sits beneath each millimetre of skin.

This blended career — NHS surgical work with private aesthetic practice — is uncommon and deliberately so. Maintaining surgical training keeps perspective sharp; aesthetic medicine remains genuinely elective work, not a substitute for medicine.

Dr Oli Aesthetics is explicitly an inclusive provider. Whether you are cisgender or transgender, the clinic offers a range of treatments aimed at sculpting the face to soften or strengthen specific features. With the support of Prollenium UK, transgender patients can access reduced rates on specific treatments — please ask at consultation. The aim is always the same: helping you to identify more closely with the person you see in the mirror.

Every treatment begins with a £50 paid consultation, the fee for which is redeemable against any subsequent treatment cost. For dermal filler in patients new to the treatment, a minimum 7-day "thinking-time" gap between consultation and appointment is built in — best-practice in UK aesthetic medicine and a personal standard at this practice. There is no pressure to proceed, and 100% of patients are screened against treatment goals, medical history, and realistic outcomes before anything is offered.

All injectable products used are prescription-only medicines or CE-marked medical devices (HA fillers, Profhilo, polynucleotides) sourced from licensed UK suppliers. Hyaluronidase for filler dissolution is stocked on-site for immediate correction of any complication. The practice carries full medical indemnity insurance and operates under GMC Good Medical Practice guidelines, not the looser framework applicable to non-medical injectors. ACEG membership signals readiness to handle the rare-but-serious side of injectable practice.
