Lynda performs medical aesthetic treatments and skin treatments at the clinic.
After a career spent in dental practice, in 2021 it was time to pursue a long-held dream to focus on my special interest in non-surgical facial aesthetics. Being a part of HGface enables me to continue to make a positive difference to people’s lives by guiding them through their personal aesthetics journey
I began my aesthetics training in 2008, learning from world- leaders like Professor Bob Khanna and other experts along the way. I maintain a commitment to continuous learning, and in 2025 I completed a Professional Diploma in Dermatology with the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland to further support my knowledge and skills in the medical treatment of skin conditions.
My approach is holistic and bespoke, tailored to those who want to look refreshed rather than 'done'. Using gentle, safe techniques, I create subtle enhancements that restore balance and confidence at every stage of life.

Jo performs skin treatments at the clinic.
My career as a nurse since the late 1980’s has been deeply rewarding, providing invaluable experience in healthcare and psychology. I have been privileged to witness the pathway from youth to older age in my patients which has inspired my desire to help people age gracefully and confidently.
My passion is in skin health and the benefit to overall well-being. A look in the mirror at my own face a few years ago sparked an interest in how I could improve my own ageing journey. Following my professional consultation, I was not prepared for the huge improvements in my skin after just a few weeks of products and supplements tailored to my own requirements.
Thus began my desire to learn all about medical grade skincare and the treatments to help, not just the aging skin, but problem skins like acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation.
I have trained extensively with many of the leading medical brands such as Obagi®, Medik8®, SkinBetter Science® and Neostrata®. I combine skincare products with enhancing treatments such as skinboosters, microneedling and peels.
"I've had my treatments at HGFace multiple times now and would recommend them to anyone (and have done). They offer such a friendly, comfortable and personal service and I can't thank them enough"
