Dr Laftah was fantastic! I came in to see her back in March 2025 and she reviewed my skin condition and gave me a clear plan and recommended some products for me to use. 1 month later, my skin couldn’t be better, just had my follow up and we are both happy with the results. She made me feel at ease, gave me a clear treatment plan and overall was just what I needed. My confidence has come back and that is down to her care and compassion.

I had my first Juliane treatment with Dr Zainab Laftah and I’m honestly blown away. The results incredible — my skin looks fresher, smoother, and so much more youthful. I’m nearly forty but keep catching glimpses of myself and thinking, “Wow, I look like me in my twenties!” Dr Laftah is not only incredibly skilled but also so kind and reassuring — she really took the time to explain everything and made me feel completely at ease. Couldn’t recommend her more!

I had some cosmetic treatment with Dr Laftah recently for my general skin ageing, my neck lines and hollow temples. She gave me Profhilo, polynucleotides and filler treatment. I am very pleased with my results. Dr Laftah is very professional and gentle and takes her time explaining everything in detail making me feel at ease. I would highly recommend her.

Dr Laftah is a very warm person, which immediately made me feel at ease. She listens attentively and explains everything in detail, but simple to understand. I have seen her for treatment of hyperhydrosis which has affected me for many years, and it is the first time a doctor has prescribed me a medication that works. I would recommend her 100%, she has changed my life for the better.

I recently had an injectable treatment for my hands with Dr. Laftah, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! My hands look smoother, more youthful, and refreshed. The procedure was quick, virtually painless, and Dr. Laftah made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Her expertise and attention to detail were truly impressive. I highly recommend this treatment for anyone looking to restore lost volume and improve the overall appearance of their hands. Thank you, Dr. Laftah, for such fantastic care!

I have had Profhilo Structura performed by Dr Laftah. Although my pain threshold is not high, my treatment was completely painless ( only a very small stinging sensation for few seconds) and downtime was close to none. A few weeks later I noticed an obvious natural looking lift to my nasolabial and marionette area and I am so very pleased with it. Dr Laftah is gentle, pleasant and knowledgable and I completely trust her. I am looking forward to many more treatments in future. Thank you!
