Our Clinic

The Bronte Clinic is a doctor-led, CQC-registered aesthetic clinic with locations in London and Surrey, delivering expert non-surgical treatments grounded in medical excellence, integrity and patient safety. Founded by NHS consultant Dr Fiona McCarthy, the clinic was established to offer a thoughtful alternative to trend-led aesthetics, combining scientific rigour with refined, natural results.

As a Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered clinic, The Bronte Clinic is independently regulated to ensure the highest standards of clinical governance, safety, infection control and patient care. CQC registration is an important safeguard for patients, providing reassurance that treatments are delivered in a medically regulated environment by appropriately qualified professionals.

Our experienced team of doctors and advanced nurse practitioners provide comprehensive aesthetic treatments using evidence-based techniques and advanced technologies. Every consultation is centred on careful assessment, honest medical advice and a personalised treatment plan designed to enhance – never alter – your natural features.

We believe skin health is the foundation of good aesthetic outcomes. From injectable treatments and regenerative procedures to advanced laser and energy-based technologies, our approach blends medical precision with an artistic eye, always prioritising subtlety, safety and long-term results.

Built largely through word-of-mouth referral, The Bronte Clinic has earned a reputation for ethical, considered aesthetic medicine in a discreet and professional clinical setting.
