Why Choose Astral Skin Clinic in Hackney/East London?
Dr Michael David Aicken is a GMC‑registered GP and aesthetics specialist with 18+ years’ experience. He trained across Emergency Medicine, General Surgery and Cardiothoracic Surgery before specialising in General Practice and Cosmetic Medicine, works in NHS general practice and out‑of‑hours care at Homerton Hospital, and leads Visage Academy while contributing to industry journals and product development.
The clinic provides a broad range of medical‑aesthetic treatments including anti‑wrinkle injections, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers (lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, tear troughs, nasolabial/marionette lines), skin boosters (Profhilo, Sunekos, Seventy Hyal), Aqualyx fat‑dissolving injections, non‑surgical rhinoplasty and semaglutide weight‑loss programmes. Dr Mike’s minimalist, safety‑focused philosophy, advanced injection techniques (lip flip and a bespoke Russian‑style lip method) and trainer background ensure personalised treatment plans.
