Frequently Asked Questions

About the Clinic

  • Iyla Medical Clinic (IMC) is a doctor-led regenerative clinic specialising in skin and hair rejuvenation. Founded by Dr Farhana, a UK-trained General Practitioner, the clinic focuses on evidence-based treatments that support long-term skin health and natural ageing.

  • Dr Farhana is a UK-qualified GP with a background in both pharmacy and medicine. She holds an MPharm from University College London (UCL) and an MBChB from the University of Birmingham, along with postgraduate qualifications including MRCGP and DRCOG. She continues to work within the NHS alongside her practice at IMC.

  • IMC takes a medical, regenerative approach rather than focusing on quick cosmetic fixes. Treatments are carefully tailored, prioritising skin integrity, safety, and subtle, natural-looking results that improve over time.

    Hair rejuvenation treatments

  • Regenerative treatments work by stimulating the body’s natural repair processes to improve skin quality, texture, and overall health, rather than simply masking concerns.

  • Every patient receives a personalised consultation where we assess your skin or hair concerns and recommend a tailored treatment plan suited to your goals.

Safety & Results

  • Yes. All treatments are carried out by a qualified medical professional in a clinical healthcare setting. We prioritise safety, evidence-based practice, and patient wellbeing at every stage.

  • Absolutely. Our approach focuses on subtle, refined enhancements. The goal is to support healthy skin and achieve results that look natural and improve gradually over time.

  • Results vary depending on the treatment, but regenerative procedures typically show gradual improvement over weeks to months as your skin naturally responds and renews.

  • This depends on your individual goals and the treatment recommended. Many treatments are delivered as a course for optimal results, which will be discussed during your consultation.

Appointments & Consultation

  • Yes. A thorough consultation is essential to understand your concerns, assess suitability, and create a personalised treatment plan.

  • Consultations typically last 30–45 minutes. Treatment times vary depending on the procedure and will be explained beforehand.

  • Downtime varies by treatment. Some procedures may involve mild redness or sensitivity for a few days, while others have minimal to no downtime.

Aftercare & Expectations

  • Most regenerative treatments involve minimal downtime. You may experience temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity, but this usually resolves quickly. Full aftercare guidance will be provided.

  • Results can last several months and often improve with ongoing treatments. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain results.
