The Dr Will See You Now: Dr. Shawana Vali Talks All Things Dermatology And Adaptive Skincare

Dr Vali is often found jet setting to see the world's elite, from Victoria's Secret models to CEO's to Hollywood stars to royal family. Her exclusive medical wellness flagship hub has been hailed the 'world's best kept secret'. Dr Vali and her team of experts from nutritionists to neuroscientists will bio-hack your brain and beautiful your body with her 360 inside-out approach.

Known for her 'micro-contouring' technique, she perfects your canvas with her 1mm tweaks that will turn back the clock and have you looking, and feeling, like a superstar.

Before she will even consider administering an injectable, all her patients are subjected to a full examination of face, skin, hair and body - and she doesn't pull any punches. Using her coveted 'gaze analysis', Dr Vali identifies your best and worst features and your 'selfie side', or from which angle you are most photogenic in profile. Her process is then to correct weaknesses, asymmetries and draw attention to your hero features, bringing symmetry to your face by treating it as a whole, rather than addressing features in isolation.

This bespoke and couture approach based on individuality rejects the cookie-cutter vision of beauty.

'I do not blame the consumer, I blame social media pressures, lifestyle pressures and the doctors who are not educating themselves or the consumer properly'

By creating a bespoke treatment plan for her clients and utilising a wide variety of top-of-the-range products to suit a patient's skin type and facial structure, Dr Vali can more accurately predict outcome in the short- and long-term.

'I never inject underneath the skin, I inject on the bone,' she says. 'This gives a micro-contouring effect to cheekbones, under-eye hollows and jawline without adding volume; every millimetre is planned.'

While it takes two-to-three syringes per cheek for the typical 'Instagram' inflated look, Dr Vali uses minimal product for maximum effect.
For a longer lasting approach, Dr Vali prescribes her 1.61 thread lift, where dissolvable surgical threads are inserted into the deep fat pads positioned to lift jowls, folds and down-turned mouths. Fat pads migrate and drop with age, causing folds, shadows and laxity. Dr Vali's artistic hand can use these threads to gently lift and reposition the fat pads, pulling shadowy hollows taut without adding volume.

In addition to her signature 'micro-contouring' and 1.61 thread lift, Dr Vali emphasises the importance of skin, prescribing her bespoke 'EGO' programme of By Dr Vali Adaptive skincare to all of her clients.

'Consider the face as an architect. Dermal filler is the foundation - we work deep on the bone to create structure and form. My 1.61 thread lift works on the fat pads, or the brick work. The EGO programme works on the skin, this is the outer layers or the windows. Everyone sees the windows, so this outer surface is equally important as the inner structure.'

Each client lucky enough to frequent Dr Vali's clinic will be given a customised programme, a blend of By Dr Vali patented skincare with her self-formulated BAC12 molecule and a regime of prescription grade topical medications. She banishes blemishes, prevents pigmentation and remedies rosacea. Combined with her medical grade skin resurfacing, Dr Vali guarantees her coveted 'make-up free skin' within 3-4 months.

From November 2021 her patented skincare 'By Dr Vali Adaptive Skincare' and 'New Breed Skin Technology' micro-contouring tool - Cutis, will be available for all.
