My name is Lisa Dinley. I’ve been a dentist for 27 years and practising aesthetic treatments for 17 years. During this time, I have completed 3 masters degrees, including aesthetic medicine and dermatology. I am passionate about regenerative treatments and have been practising these treatments for the past 12 years in one form or another.

I am committed to education, for my own personal development but also in teaching other medical professionals and enjoy teaching and sharing knowledge with others, as well as speaking at conferences.

I have a clinic in Nottingham, The Castle Clinic, which I run with my husband. I believe in a personalised approach to treating patients, based on a thorough understanding of an individual’s needs and wants following a comprehensive consultation. This way, I can truly provide bespoke, individualised treatments in a holistic way, looking after the well-being of patients as a whole

I love the flexibility to be able to treat patients in my own way, developing treatment protocols and carrying out my own clinical research. I am dedicated to improving evidence in aesthetic medicine and have published several articles in various journals. I am also a member of the Elsvier advisory board and peer review for many aesthetic and cosmetic surgery journals.
