Woodford Medical was established in 1995 in Danbury, Essex, by Dr Hilary Allan and Dr Mervyn Patterson to fill a huge gap in the aesthetics industry in the country. This was soon followed by clinics in Cambridge, Belfast and Leamington Spa. The addition of the London clinic became an obvious extension of the Woodford Medical brand and is now renowned as a centre of excellence despite fierce competition from the faceless nationwide chains.
The Belfast clinic was established in 2002 by locally born Medical Director Dr Mervyn Patterson and moved to its current site in the Lisburn Road 11 years ago. Dr Patterson attends the clinic on a monthly basis and has many loyal clients who continue to enjoy his expertise with treatments of Profhilo and Juvederm facial fillers.
The clinic is managed and headed by Nurse Prescriber Kerry Patterson. Kerry provides a full injectable clinic including Anti-Wrinkle Injections, Profhilo and Juvederm facial fillers as well as high end laser treatments and IPL for Rosacea, sun damage and hair removal. Kerry employs advanced techniques in both Anti-Wrinkle Injections, Juvederm and Profhilo demonstrating her years of expertise.
