Medical Aesthetics by
Dr Raj Menon
A doctor-led approach to skin health, facial ageing and subtle, considered treatment.
I’m Dr Raj Menon. I’ve worked as a doctor for more than 20 years, including a career in Emergency Medicine.
At Cosmenon, I personally assess and treat every patient.
My approach to medical aesthetics is deliberately conservative: understand what has changed, consider the underlying anatomy and skin health, and only recommend treatment when I think it is appropriate.
After that assessment, I’ll talk you through the options that are likely to be useful, as well as anything I don’t think you need.
What have you noticed?
You may know what you’d like to improve without knowing what treatment, if any, is appropriate.
Start with the concern rather than the procedure.
Facial Ageing
Perhaps you’re noticing more lines, changes around the eyes or mouth, loss of facial volume, or that your face looks more tired than you feel.
Skin Health
Changes in texture, pigmentation, redness, acne, sun damage or the general quality of your skin can all be assessed as part of a skin consultation.
Other Concerns
Some concerns sit outside traditional cosmetic treatment.
I also assess problems such as jaw clenching and teeth grinding, where understanding the cause is an important part of deciding what to do next.
A considered approach to Medical Aesthetics
A consultation starts with what you’ve noticed and what you would like to change.
I’ll assess your facial anatomy and skin, take into account your medical history and previous treatments, and explain what I think is contributing to the changes you’re seeing.
From there, we can discuss the options that are likely to be useful, what the limitations are, and what I would recommend for you.
If we decide to proceed with treatment, the plan can be staged over time rather than trying to address everything at once.
Not sure what to book?
You don’t need to know which treatment you need before making an appointment.
If there’s something you’ve noticed about your skin or face, or you simply want to understand what your options are, book a consultation.
We can look at it together, discuss what may be contributing to it, and work out whether there is anything worth treating.
Learn more about your skin and facial ageing
There is a lot of information about cosmetic treatments online, and it can be difficult to know what is useful, what is marketing, and where the evidence actually sits.
I write about skin health, facial ageing and medical aesthetic treatments to help patients understand these subjects in more detail.
Treatments at Cosmenon
At Cosmenon, I treat a range of concerns involving facial ageing and skin health, including lines, changes in facial volume and structure, and changes in skin quality. Microneedling and clinical skincare may also form part of a treatment plan.
What is appropriate depends on your assessment, your priorities and what you would like to improve.
You’re welcome to read about the treatments available before your appointment, but you don’t need to choose one before you book.
Your care stays with your doctor
I personally provide your consultation, treatment and follow-up care at Cosmenon.
That means I get to know what we’ve treated, how you responded and what we might do differently next time. It also makes it easier to take a longer-term view rather than treating each appointment in isolation.
If you’re considering treatment, the best place to start is with a consultation.
