Dr Ayanna Knight
A FOUNDATION IN MEDICINE
Dr Knight graduated from the University of Manchester Medical School in 2008. She completed Foundation Training in the North West, gaining experience in surgery, women’s health and emergency medicine, before undertaking specialist General Practice training in Sussex. She attained Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners in 2014.
Her background in General Practice informs every aspect of her work. Alongside assessing a specific concern, she considers your medical history, skin health, lifestyle and the wider factors that may influence treatment suitability and your experience of care. Her interests in preventative medicine and psychological wellbeing underpin an approach that recognises the close relationship between physical health, personal confidence and quality of life.
She founded her Brighton clinic in 2016 to bring this medical perspective to a personal, carefully considered aesthetic and skin health service.
PERSONALISED CARE, WITH CONTINUITY
Every aesthetic consultation and treatment is personally undertaken by Dr Knight. From your initial assessment through treatment, aftercare and review, you remain under the care of the same doctor, who understands your history, respects your priorities and supports your progress.
Your consultation provides dedicated time to discuss your concerns, priorities and what you hope to achieve. Dr Knight explains the available options, including their benefits, limitations, recovery and risks, and develops recommendations shaped around your individual needs and longer-term goals.
Where appropriate, treatment and medical-grade skincare are brought together in a progressive plan. The emphasis is on supporting skin health and achieving subtle, balanced improvements that respect your individual features. Recommendations remain honest and measured, including when treatment is unlikely to help or another approach would be more suitable. There is no obligation to proceed.
EXPERIENCE, TRAINING & PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS
Dr Knight has undertaken advanced training in cosmetic injectables, laser procedures and cryosurgery. She maintains her knowledge through postgraduate masterclasses, medical seminars and national and international aesthetic medicine conferences, considering new developments alongside clinical evidence and their relevance to her patients.
She holds a licence to practise with the General Medical Council, undertakes annual medical appraisal and maintains professional indemnity insurance for the treatments she provides.
Carefully selected technologies and established medical-grade products support her practice, including brands such as Juvéderm and Obagi Medical. Treatment recommendations are guided by clinical assessment, individual suitability and realistic potential benefit.
