Dr Duncan's philosophy of cosmetic medicine is that all treatments should be:

• Safe
• Quick
• Effective
• Painless
• Minimal side-effects
• No downtime
• Affordable
• As short/longlasting as desired

Dr Duncan believes that a patient should have the opportunity to discuss any queries and expectations in a relaxed and unhurried manner. The wide variety of treatments available can be explained in relation to the individual's requirements and tailored accordingly. Pain relief will always be offered for any potentially uncomfortable procedure; patients should not expect to endure painful procedures in order to enhance their looks.

Dr Duncan is a member of the British Medical Association and the British Association of Cosmetic Doctors.
