The Clinic
We are located in the centre of the picturesque town of Kells in a private courtyard just off New Market Street. Most of our patients and clients come from all the surrounding towns and counties such as Navan, Oldcastle, Cavan, Dunshaughlin, Blanchardstown, Slane, Ardee, Dundalk, Mullingar, we even have patients who travel from England, the US and Australia for their appointments with us!
We set up in 2021 as a bespoke medical led aesthetics and beauty clinic and have been expanding our services to provide a more holistic hub where medical and beauty treatments can be aligned as we find they are often linked.
Our focus is on providing the ultimate experience and truly looking after your needs. Our philosophy is based on honesty, care, kindness, education and improving your quality of life.

Dr. Rowena Hughes
I’m Dr. Rowena Hughes, MB BCh, BAO, DDerm, DipObsGynae, aMRCPath, MSc Pharm Med, PGDip HEcon, MBA. I worked for 10 years in the HSE as a hospital doctor, followed by an exciting career in the pharmaceutical industry supporting the development and launch of new drugs in oncology, cardiovascular and dermatology.
Skin, aesthetics, diagnostics & hormonal health have always been passions of mine and my time as Global Medical Director for Men’s Health in Besins’ Healthcare (a global pharmaceutical company specialising in hormonal therapies) increased my interest in men’s health, which is a very underserved area in medicine. I’m a member of the International Society of Sexual Medicine (ISSM).
I have a postgraduate diploma in obstetrics and gynaecology from the Royal College of Physicians, Ireland and I’m currently pursuing further studies with the British Menopause Society and the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare, UK.
I combine my medical knowledge as a doctor with a postgraduate diploma in dermatology with my training in medical aesthetics (Mastery in Medical Aesthetics) to provide the best, holistic advice & outcomes for skin and appearance. I’m also acutely aware of the influence hormonal deficiency & excess weight have on health and seek to enhance awareness and support people to better wellbeing.
A little tip on pronouncing my name! my name can be pronounced ‘Rowenna’ or the Irish version Riona, but I go by ‘Roweena’.
”My aim is to help you look and feel fresh, beautiful, rejuvenated and your optimum self. I believe any treatments or care should complement and enhance who you naturally are, in a subtle but transformative way. I have a deep respect for your wishes and your privacy, and I practice with warmth and empathy.
