Illuminate Skin Clinics is an award-winning private clinic offering an extensive range of the latest aesthetic, skincare and wellness treatments. Located in Kings Hill, Kent, the clinic was set up by Dr Sophie Shotter in 2014 to provide the best advice, treatment and service in all aspects of non-surgical aesthetic medicine.
Our clinic team are chosen for their expertise and experience, their knowledge and enthusiasm and their friendly, personal nature. They will guide, inform and look after you from your initial enquiry to the completion of your treatment, ensuring that all your questions are answered and that you are always fully at ease.
Today we are seeing more and more men come to Illuminate Skin Clinic for an increasingly wide range of treatments. Whilst the boom in male grooming has triggered this, men's skin is in fact tougher and thicker than women's and therefore ages a little more slowly. Many men come to us to simply rejuvenate and refresh tired or ageing skin.
Illuminate offer a range of premium products to compliment your treatment or for use as part of your treatment plan. We place huge importance on recommending only the very best products available, and spend considerable time and effort on on-going product research, product testing and meeting suppliers and manufacturers to bring you the most innovative, relevant and advanced products in today's market.

I booked a skin analysis as my skin routine as been non existent and I want to take better care of my skin - they were beyond friendly and helpful when I arrived, the space was a calm and relaxing environment.
The whole experience was a efficient yet thorough breakdown of my skin and the lady who was taking care of me explained the differences in the several photos of my skin that were taken.
We then discussed a realistic skin routine for me, including which ingredients to look for or avoid in each product. I was given this information in a little folder to take home with some samples.

I had my lips done with Dr Sophie last week - and I am over the moon with the results. I have always been anxious about cosmetic treatments - and I am just an anxious person in general - but all the staff at Illuminate were fantastic in easing my worries & communicating with me. Appointments were booked to fit my circumstances and my emails replied to immediately. I felt really cared for. The clinic is beautiful and the whole experience was very positive. My lips look so subtle, just plumper and more juicy - which is exactly what I wanted for my confidence! Dr Sophie was so friendly and kind, she

I've had several treatments at Illuminate - dermal filler, botox, hydrafacials and most recently, the elipse gastric balloon. The staff are so welcoming and always make you feel at ease straight away.
Dr Sophie is a total wizard with a needle. She knows what’s right for your face and won’t do a treatment if she feels it won’t benefit you. I wouldn't go to anyone else now that I've been treated by her.
I decided to have my most recent procedure, the Elipse gastric balloon, to help me lose approx 2 stone that I've put on over the last few years. I've tried lots of diets in the past including

I have been meaning to write this review for quite some time. It's only jogged by memory recently as im looking to gwt some fillers.
I came to this clinic quite some time ago to have botox injections in ny Jaw area to treat my TMJ problem. They told me over the phone the price was around £250. Which I had also been quoted by other clinics in the area, so I was happy to pay this amount over the phone.
When I got there the practitioner just went ahead and injected both sides of my jaw, without Consulting me that it would cost double the price.
I had a big shock when I went ut to reception, when

I visited this clinic after reading a newspaper article earlier in the year in which Dr Sophie was favourably mentioned. At 61yrs old, I’d never had any type of professional skin treatment before and I felt in need of something to limit the aging process. I was extremely nervous but I need not have worried, the care and treatment I received were first class.
Emma and Dr Sophie were both very welcoming and did their best to put me at ease and calm my fears. Dr Sophie fully understood my requirements and concerns and knowledgeably advised on the most appropriate treatment.
I am so pleased that

Dr Sophie Shotter is the best injector in the business. If you want beautiful, natural results then see her. You also won't feel a thing! I've also had body treatments and Intraceuticals facials at Illuminate and I was very happy with them all. The team at Illuminate are fantastic! I cannot praise them enough.

The new Body Ballancer is Amazing!!! I have had only a few sessions so far and can feel a difference already. (I felt lighter after the first session) I have been coming to the clinic for a few years now, it is exceptionally clean & hygienic, all the staff are professional & friendly and the service is fantastic. Dr Sophie & Emma have incredible knowledge and healing hands! I’d not go anywhere else.!

By far the best skin clinic I have had the pleasure to come across.
The level of knowledge and professionalism of Dr. Sophie is outstanding.
Her consultations are exactly what a consultation should be : an in depth conversation on the treatments which are on offer but only if suitable to your needs and overall health. I suffer from a few allergies and my many concerns were all answered with details, honesty and medical knowledge.
You are not just a face or a body, you are a person with unique features and targets to work on and Dr Sophie will help you achieve those targets while still looking

Had my lips done over 2 months ago and still in love with them. Dr Sophie and Ellie were so inviting and lovely and made me feel as ease straight away. Sophie spent the time with me going through everything and… talking about the product. I felt so comfortable there. The process of having the juviderm put in was painless and the results were amazing. I had very little swelling and I will defiantly be going back to see these lovely ladies again! Thank you so much x
