Dr Pinar BDS, PHDHEAD MEDICAL PRACTITIONER WITH OVER 10 YEARS EXPERIENCE
Originally from Germany Pinar graduated in dentistry at Berlin University in 2002 and worked in various practices in Berlin specialising in oral surgery. Pinar also undertook trips to Brazil and Norway as part of aid and community projects.
She later completed her PhD at the prestigious Charité Faculty of Medicine in Berlin. Shortly after she took on a temporary post in the Lake District and ever since then she has been in love with the North West of England.
Moving on to Aesthetic Medicine was a natural step. As a dentist, Pinar has an excellent understanding of the features of the face. Through Pinar’s time as an Aesthetic Practitioner she has undertaken various courses and master classes in the use of anti-wrinkle treatment, dermal fillers, skin tightening treatments and skin peels, making her a master practitioner.
Pinar is passionate about taking on forward thinking treatments and using them to combat the natural aging process and environmental hazards that our skin faces. As the clinical director at the Preston Clinic, she makes sure we are always at the forefront of science and development.
Pinar is a keen reader and loves to do all her DIY herself.

Page Laser practitioner/ Team leader
Page began her journey with Defyne Aesthetics as a receptionist, where her natural curiosity and passion for the world of aesthetics quickly grew. Inspired by the transformative power of laser treatments and skin therapies, she took the next step by training and qualifying as a laser practitioner.

Now an integral part of the clinic team, Page combines technical expertise with a warm, reassuring approach to help clients feel confident and cared for during every treatment.

Outside of the clinic, she enjoys long walks with her beloved Dogue de Bordeaux, exploring the countryside and spending quality time outdoors. She also loves travelling. Her favourite trip was when she ventured to America where she worked on a summer camp and cared for the camp America director’s children.

Our Cynosure Laser
Our Cynosure Laser ELITE MPX WORKSTATION - THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY
The modern era brings a new generation of patients, and the new Elite MPX is the first aesthetic workstation designed to treat everyone.
We can deliver customized hair, vascular and anti-aging treatments to a wider range of patients – more quickly and effectively than ever before. The Elite MPX combines two laser wave lengths in one workstation. This allows us to target different structures of the skin selectively, reach a specific depth were the energy of the laser is most useful and accommodate the needs of a variety of skin types.
Our laser is safe and super-efficient on pale white skin as well as coloured skin of all shades, robust skin on the back as well as sensitive skin of the face. This makes this laser so unique and universal at the same time. We can deliver very high energy outputs with amazing results without actually harming the skin. This is also the main difference between a laser and a much more common IPL machine. IPL machines deliver lower level energy of a wider spectrum. Therefore there will always be “collateral damage” of the skin and less efficiency within the actual target, whether it is a hair follicle, a vein or a birthmark.
