12 GHP Q1 2026 hrough her clinic, Dr Raquel Skin & Medical Cosmetics, Dr Raquel helps her patients with their natural confidence, providing advanced aesthetic, skin, hair, and general wellness treatments so they look and feel like the best versions of themselves. A big part of this is ensuring treatments offer natural-looking outcomes, so that patients do not appear ‘overdone’. To make sure that all of the men and women the clinic sees are afforded this, Dr Raquel and her team work ethically and professionally, tailoring all their treatments. Looking more closely at this, Dr Raquel told us: “We assess the face holistically to restore balance, structure, and skin quality in a subtle, natural way, through treatments all tailored to the individual following an in-depth consultation.” Nowhere is this more apparent than through the clinic’s Signature Specials, available for new and existing patients alike. These fully customisable, 360-degree plans have been designed to offer a holistic approach spanning skin, volume loss, and overall health, making them unique in this space. For example, new patients can enjoy Dr Racquel’s Radiance Lift – which offers lifted skin in just one appointment via a cuttingedge treatment blending dermal fillers and toxin – or Dr Raquel’s RegenLift Series, where, over four monthly appointments, the team chip away at a multi-faceted plan addressing every element of ageing skin. A journey to the youthful radiance patients seek, these treatments bring together some of the most desirable services from across this portfolio, yet still barely scratches the surface of the full range available. “We also specialise in advanced skin and hair restoration treatments, helping patients address concerns such as pigmentation, acne scarring, premature ageing, and hair thinning through our clinically proven, evidencebased solutions.” T Dr Raquel Amado’s name precedes her in the world of doctor-led aesthetics, with this LMD/dental surgeon graduating as a dentist nearly 20 years ago in Portugal, before becoming a qualified aesthetic practitioner, renowned senior clinic trainer,facultymember,andinternational speaker for various institutions. Her medical aesthetics clinic in Kent is a testament to her expertise, and on the back of its recognition as the Best Skin, Hair & Wellness Clinic – Southeast, we caught up with Dr Raquel herself. All of the high-quality treatments delivered by Dr Raquel and her team across the areas of face, skin, hair, and wellness benefit from the clinic’s discreet and friendly atmosphere. So, whether a patient is searching for polynucleotides for their skin, support with their excessive underarm sweating, help managing their acne, menopause assistance, or anything else from across the clinic’s natural, injectable treatments, Dr Raquel and co. are passionate about seeing that everyone who enters the clinic achieves their aesthetic goals quickly and safely. Supporting Raquel in the delivery of these treatments is Elizabeth Caroline, also known as the ‘Skin Samurai’. Elizabeth has more than 20 years of experience in the skin and wellness industry, beginning as a massage and sports therapist before pivoting to become a successful facialist operating out of both Mayfair and Harley Street in London. However, more than her experience, what sets Elizabeth apart is her deeply spiritual nature, nurtured by her training under a Buddhist monk, which resulted in this nickname and an influx of patients. The Skin Samurai’s patient portfolio is incredibly impressive as a result, with big names in celebrity and influencer circles – Ellie Goulding, Nicola Roberts, and Mille Mackintosh, to name just a few – having worked with her. Sadie Frost even credited Elizabeth with delivering one of the best facials in the world, and publications such as Glamour UK, Hello!, and Harper’s Bazaar have all featured her treatments. Such an impressive portfolio makes Elizabeth the perfect person to complement Dr Raquel at the clinic. Rounding out the team here is Natalie Parchment, whose role as the coordinator of the clinic sees her deliver the personalised service Dr Raquel Skin & Medical Cosmetics is known for from the moment a patient’s journey begins. Natalie’s welcoming presence comes from a background in high-end customer service, and as the first face clients see when they enter the clinic and the last face they see before they leave, Natalie’s importance in bookending this experience cannot be overstated, and Dr Raquel values her greatly. Combined, what Dr Raquel Amado and the team at Dr Raquel Skin & Medical Cosmetics deliver is an experience like no other, as seen through the number of awards they have been presented with over the years, including in a previous edition of this feature. For continuing to set the standard for doctor-led medical aesthetic clinics in Kent and beyond, it is our pleasure to again recognise this clinic, this time as the Best Skin, Hair & Wellness Clinic – Southeast.
