About Dr Bhavin Garara
Dr Bhavin Garara, MBBS, BMedSci, PGDip, is an aesthetic practitioner and cosmetic dermatologist who combines surgical-grade anatomical knowledge with a genuine interest in long-term skin health. His practice draws patients with a wide range of skin tones and concerns — from early preventive treatments to complex regenerative protocols.
His practice is structured around four principles: Regenerate, Restore, Refine and Sustain. Rather than treating isolated concerns in isolation, he designs treatment journeys that work on skin quality, structural support and cellular health in parallel — sequencing injectables, energy-based devices, regenerative therapies and medical-grade skincare so that each phase builds on the last.
The goal is never a dramatic change. It is a gradual, cumulative improvement that looks like you at your best rather than someone different — and every plan is built around the individual rather than a template.
Specialist Expertise
A genuine specialism in skin of colour
A significant proportion of Dr Bhavin's patients have Fitzpatrick skin types IV to VI, and he has developed considerable clinical experience in treating darker skin tones safely and effectively.
Pigmentation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, scarring and texture concerns present differently in melanin-rich skin, and the treatment approach needs to reflect that — both in device selection and in dosing.
He also runs an educational content series on skin of colour aesthetics, to help patients and clinicians understand these distinctions.

Surgical & Academic Background
Dr Bhavin graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2011 with degrees in medicine and biomedical sciences, then undertook extensive NHS surgical training across general surgery, vascular surgery, orthopaedics, and major trauma. Years of surgical training developed his deep understanding of anatomy, precise hand-eye coordination, and keen attention to detail that now informs his delicate aesthetic work. These skills allow him to deliver precise, safe, and carefully balanced aesthetic treatments.
