The Treatments Dr Dondos swears by

What Female Doctors Swear By

Dr Vicky Dondos is one of the top four female cosmetic doctors interviewed by Leah Hardy for Grazia Magazine, 2008. Scroll down to read her interview. 

Dr Vicky Dondos, 33, is a trained hospital doctor who now works as a cosmetic aesthetic doctor at Medicetics clinic in London.

 

WHAT WORKS

Chemical peels and mesotherapy: “I’m a big fan of mesotherapy [a series of tiny injections into the skin, containing a cocktail of vitamins, minerals and amino acids], to give my skin a good texture and radiance.”

 

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): “This laser treatment helps smooth pigmentation, sunspots and blemishes on my cheeks. I’ve only had two sessions and I don’t need to wear foundation anymore”

 

The Epionce Range: “I’m always testing new products and I adore this range- especially the peel, which contains malic acid derived from apples. I have two peels which are done a week apart. I’m red for an hour afterwards, but then patches of dryness disappear, and my skin looks well-nourished, firmer and glowing. The active shield sunscreen sits really well on my skin, is transparent non-greasy and comes in SPF30. I also use the foaming cleanser and the vitamin c serum.” [Buy in our clinic]

WHAT DOESN’T

Presuming expensive is always better: “I do like some cheap basic products, such as the cleanser Cetaphil, which is great and very gentle.” [Buy in our clinic]

 

MY SURGERY SHOPPING LIST

Sculptra: It’s an injectable volumising treatment, which rebuilds collagen and puts water back into the skin.”
