You know you’re in safe hands the moment you step into Dr Brendan Khong’s clinic. The impeccably dressed aesthetic doctor greets you with skin so flawless it’s impossible to ignore…smooth, glowing, not a pore in sight. It’s what I like to call the Dr BK glow effect. This month marks one year since he opened the doors to Dr BK Aesthetics Clinic, and in just twelve months it has become one of London’s most trusted destinations for advanced skin treatments.
A true movie-star favourite, Dr Khong has perfected the complexions of Hollywood actresses for the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. At the heart of his practice lies a balance of innovation, precision, and a safety-first ethos. Step into the clinic and you’ll notice it doesn’t feel overwhelming, there’s no conveyor belt of machines cluttering the room. Every piece of equipment has been personally trialled and tested by Dr Khong himself, earning its place only if it meets his exceptional standards.
The clinic is discreetly located within The Medi Suites on Pall Mall, just moments from Piccadilly and Trafalgar Square. It makes for a central yet private escape, and the perfect excuse to pair a treatment with some shopping or a leisurely lunch nearby. Dr BK is also in excellent company here, sharing the address with leading names in aesthetics such as Iris Maglanoc, whose facial sculpting expertise I’ve experienced (and written about) before.
Consultations with Dr Khong are equal parts inspiring and reassuring. Flicking through his library of before-and-after transformations is enough to spark ideas of what might be possible. After discussing my own skin, we settled on the Aerolase Neo Elite, a treatment often described as the Rolls Royce of lasers.
So what makes Aerolase special? For one, there’s no downtime. Result. You can literally walk out of the clinic after your lunch break and back to work without your colleagues quizzing you asking if you’re feeling ok without the redness. It treats a wide range of concerns – acne, pigmentation, redness, fine lines, and overall skin rejuvenation, while being gentle enough for even sensitive skin. This is all thanks to its unique 650-microsecond pulse duration, it penetrates deeply to stimulate collagen and cellular turnover without any slightest bit of discomfort. What’s more, it’s safe for all skin types and can be used year-round, unlike many lasers that require strict seasonal restrictions. The treatment is quick, comfortable, and delivers visible results fast, no wonder it’s become a patient favourite.
But Aerolase isn’t the only innovation at Dr BK Aesthetics. The clinic also offers a selection of advanced skin boosters, including Jalupro, Profhilo Structura, and Julaine, each designed to hydrate, plump, and rejuvenate from within. These are never “one-size-fits-all” solutions but part of Dr Khong’s tailored approach, ensuring every treatment plan is matched carefully to the individual.
With summer fading and the days drawing shorter, now feels like the perfect time to refocus on skin health. For me, the Aerolase was the ultimate seasonal transition treatment: instant glow, long-term results, and zero downtime.
Though Dr BK Aesthetics is only celebrating its first year, it already feels like a firmly established destination. That comes down to a philosophy rooted in expertise, trust, and an undeniable passion for skin. And honestly, when your doctor’s skin is this flawless, it’s hard not to want whatever he’s having.
