MEET OUR TEAM
You’re skin is important to you which is why you’re thinking about showing it some tlc. So no doubt you’ll want to know a little more about the people who will be carrying out the treatments…
Set up in 2014, Defyne Aesthetics based in Preston is run by Dr Pinar Akman and Kate Huddleston. The Preston Clinic has been set up to meet the highest standards. We have received training in the field of aesthetic medicine with recognised training centres, our laser is the latest piece of technology and our premises comply with the laser safety regulations. We have chosen the latest equipment and best products available and combined these with outstanding training, motivation and expertise
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.
Kate loves the fact that our clinic can help people feel their best and rather than changing someone’s appearance simply enhancing their natural beauty and confidence. In her past life Kate has been a Programme Co-ordinator at the Fire Service for 10 years, working with the community helping people to reshape their lives. With Kate’s previous work experience as a qualified manager and quality assurance practitioner, she ensures very high safety standards are maintained. In her spare time she loves playing with her children, looking for new adventures and refurbishing old furniture.
Kate is keen to keep fit and cook delicious meals.
With working in skincare for the past 5 years, Becky loves to make people feel more confident about themselves by helping them to see a difference in their skin, she is keen to expand her knowledge in this industry, as well as bringing her previous experience and a more holistic approach into the clinic.
Becky is eager to learn new things and take on new challenges in the workplace. She enjoys socializing with friends, holidays in the sun and going on dog walks due to her being a huge animal lover!
She has a great treatment portfolio to offer her patients at Defyne clinic, including anti-wrinkle treatments, dermal fillers, with advanced techniques in both and a wide range of skin treatments. She has been trained by one of the leading aesthetic doctors at his training academy.
Laura has also completed specialist training in microsclerotherapy in 2007 to offer a gold standard treatment for the management of thread veins.

She has also worked as an aesthetic nurse practitioner at Destination Skin and other private clinics. More recently she held the position of educator at Facethetics Training in Liverpool.
One of her passions is lip enhancements and her aim is to ensure that the lips always look natural and in proportion with her patient’s features.
Outside of work Laura spends her Saturday mornings football coaching for her son’s team, she also enjoys yoga and spending time with her family.
Soon Page is going to start a Business Administration course to improve her skills and broaden her knowledge.
Before becoming a receptionist, she worked for the past few years with children. While she cared for kids at work, this clever girl achieved a Level 3 Health and Social Care. So you always know you are in capable hands when you come to our clinic.
Page loves travelling and last summer she ventured on a trip to America where she worked on a summer camp and cared for the camp America director’s children.
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.
