About the Clinic
Dr. Hugo J Kitchen M.B.,Ch.B., M.B.A.C.D., Cert COS.MED, studied Medicine at Birmingham University Medical School and qualified as fully registered medical practitioner in 1982. In 1988 he formed Stratford Dermatherapy Clinic.
Demand is so high that and Dr. Kitchen now performs cosmetic beauty treatments from his clinic in Stratford Upon Avon and nine additional clinics around the UK .
Dr. Kitchen has been administering Collagen dermal implantation since 1988 and since the mid-'90's, the newer generation of synthetic cosmetic fillers such as Restylane, Restylane-Touch/Perlane/VITAL/and SUB-Q and, Hylaform, Rofilan and Sculptra. More recently BELOTERO a new filler from Merz of Switzerland is showing beautiful results especially around the mouth.
In 2002 Dr. Kitchen became one of the very first users of Medical Micro-dermabrasion (Genesis Bio-Systems USA) and helped pioneer the use of the Agera Rx Skin Technology in the UK. Agera Rx is a nanotechnological series of layered skin peels for intervention of the dermal aging process. Agera Rx home-care products are also available from Stratford Dermatherapy clinic for self-administration at home.
Dr Kitchen has also been trained by the American Institute of Medical Aesthetics, in the use of their range of scientifically-based skincare based range of products born out of NOBEL PRIZE winning molecular spin technology. COSMEDIX products are a simply wonderful platform for home use for general skin maintenance and treating complex and difficult skin problems such as ACNE , ROSACEA, SUN-DAMAGE and ABNORMAL PIGMENTATION.
Dr. Kitchen is trained in the administration of Botulinum Toxin, for aesthetic reduction of facial expression lines, upper and lower face and also the neck. It has seen an exponential rise in popularity over the last 10 years. Dr Kitchen has a number of house-hold names and famous faces as patients in his portfolio. 15% of all Botox patients are now MEN who are much less shy about enjoying the aesthetic benefits of the increasing range of treatments available. It also is used to treat excessive sweating (hyperhydrosis). There are some patients who are resistant to Botox use and Dr Kitchen also offers the British branded DYSPORT which performs exactly the same function. BUT remember; LESS is MORE; The "plastic" emotionless face from excessive dosage and frequency of use, is distinctly UNATTRACTIVE. Dr Kitchen is a huge proponent of THE NATURAL LOOK !
Also available from Stratford Dermatherapy Clinic is PHOTODERM IPL (Intense-Pulsed Light), a treatment that removes unsightly unwanted hair, thread veins and abnormal pigmentation of the skin caused by sun damage. Vascular tumours, portwine stains and spider veins are a huge problem and IPL is the treatment of choice. It has stood the test of more than 12 years of clinical success.
In 2004 The Stratford Dermatherapy Clinic acquired the second THERMAGE Thermacool system in the UK, a revolutionary system that uses a non-invasive delivery of RADIO-FREQENCY pulsing that can create skin-tightening effects on the whole face and neck which may last up to 5 years. We have performed over 200 treatments to date. It now has its FDA licence for off-face use so we can now tighten looseskin on the body too !
He is a member of the British Association of Cosmetic Doctors and to date, has performed over 100,000 cosmetic treatments, including 2000 courses of Photoderm IPL treatment www.cosmeticdoctors.co.uk

Also 100% Collagen Capsules (B-REJUVENATED) which not only will regenerate joint surface cartilage and therefore reduce the pain from ARTHRITIS and SPORTS INJURIES, but will deliver to the skin the framework necessary to maintain and repair, in order to reduce wrinkles and improve the suppleness of the skin.
