Dr Vicky Dondos

Aesthetic Doctor

Dr Vicky Dondos has spent over 25 years helping people look and feel their best, and these days, her focus is firmly on ageing well rather than simply ageing less. A passionate advocate of positive ageing, she takes a full-face approach to every consultation, looking at how the eyes, cheeks, jawline and skin quality work together, rather than treating lines and wrinkles in isolation. The result is a softer, more harmonised version of yourself: balanced, refreshed, and unmistakably you.

Overview

Dr Dondos was one of the very first doctors in the UK to offer aesthetic medicine, at a time when the speciality barely existed, and went on to open her own clinic over 20 years ago. That depth of experience through decades of innovation, evolving techniques and changing trends, makes her one of the safest, most trusted pairs of hands in the industry, and exactly the kind of expertise patients want guiding their care.

Specialisms

Dr Dondos is the author of The Positive Ageing Plan (Penguin Life, 2021), in which she shares her science-led, judgement-free approach to skin health at every age. A fully qualified medical doctor, she graduated from Guy’s and St Thomas’ Medical School in London in 1998 and also holds a degree in Psychology, giving her particular insight into the emotional side of how we feel about our appearance.

Philosophy

Where her early career saw her widely praised by the press for subtle, expert tweaks, Dr Dondos has since moved her practice toward longer-term skin health. She’s a particular advocate of biostimulators – treatments that work with the skin’s own biology to rebuild collagen and improve quality from within, rather than simply adding volume- alongside extensive experience in PRP (platelet-rich plasma), drawing on the body’s own healing properties to restore a natural, healthy glow.

Behind the Scenes

Dr Dondos joins The Lovely Clinic as an exciting new chapter, bringing her wealth of experience to our team while also carving out more time for herself and her family. We’re delighted to welcome her.

  • For new patients making their first booking please note that your card will be charged £150 for the initial consultation fee to be processed. 
  • For more information about our specific treatment charges please see our pricing guide or get in touch.
  • Following a consultation appointment with a doctor, if you choose to undergo treatment within three months of the original consultation, the £150 consultation fee is redeemable against the cost of treatment and will be held on your patient account.

  • For our existing patients, your card details will be captured at the point of booking and are held on your patient file but no charges will be applied except in the event of a late-cancellation or no-show (see below).
  • The Lovely Clinic’s Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy applies to all appointments which are cancelled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours notice. All such cancellations or rescheduling will incur a cancellation fee of £150. This charge will be levied against the card details taken at the time of booking and no further appointments will be arranged until the cancellation charge has been settled. For appointments lasting 60 minutes or longer, we require a minimum of 96 hours notice, and the charge is £300.
  • If you arrive more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, we reserve the right to cancel the appointment and charge the late-cancellation fee of £150 to avoid unfair impact on our other patients.

  • Certain services - such as Sculptra®, Lanluma® and Desirial® - will require payment in full prior to booking.

  • Packages, once commenced and the first service is taken, are strictly non-refundable. If a package is cancelled prior to commencement, the cancellation must be received within 48 hours of the first appointment, otherwise a cancellation fee of £150 will be incurred.

  • New patients are seen for consultation and assessment. In order to comply with General Medical Council guidelines, in exceptional circumstances, certain treatments may be carried out on the day of consultation at the agreement of the patient and clinician. More invasive treatments must be scheduled for an appointment at a later date. There is an option for an online consultation should you be travelling a long distance.

  • Treatment is granted at the discretion of the clinician. No guarantee is given that treatment will be provided for a service booked online as it may be unsuitable.
