About Dr Vahe
A doctor and surgeon focused on the individual
Dr Vahe Karimyan is a medical doctor with more than 25 years of clinical experience across surgery, medical aesthetics and regenerative medicine. His career has been built around a simple principle: every patient is an individual, and every treatment decision should reflect that.
His surgical background informs the way he thinks about anatomy, structure and healing — and shapes his measured, evidence-based approach to non-surgical aesthetic and regenerative care.
Dr Vahe personally conducts every consultation at his Chelsea clinic. Appointments are unhurried and designed to allow time to listen, examine, discuss options and, if appropriate, plan treatment together.
Patient safety, clinical honesty and long-term relationships sit at the centre of the practice. Where a treatment is not appropriate, this is explained openly and alternative pathways are discussed.
