Dr Max Greenfield - Aesthetic Doctor

Dr Max Greenfield - Aesthetic Doctor A medical doctor specialised in non-surgical and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. My approach is all about balance.

I trained at University College London before working across London as a surgical trainee in plastic, orthopaedic, and cardiothoracic surgery, during which time I became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. I started work in aesthetic medicine 5 years ago whilst completing my Level 7 Diploma (PGDip Aes), the highest level of practical training available in aesthetic medicine. Alongside my cl

inical work, I’m Head of Clinical Training at Harley Academy, where I teach both injectable treatments and cosmetic dermatology courses as well as lead the training of medical professionals and focus on research, innovation, and the management of complications related to aesthetic procedures. I strongly believe that relying too much on any single treatment can lead to an unnatural look. Instead, I combine high-quality, evidence-based skincare and in-clinic treatments with carefully tailored injectables to achieve results that enhance rather than alter—helping you look refreshed, never “done.”

You don’t need much to have a skincare routine and there’s a good chance that you have the basics already.

If you have a gentle cleanser that you like, a nice moisturiser and an SPF that you like enough to use everyday then there’s no need to chop and change.

If you want a more advanced or targeted routine then have a look at the Routines page at thecuratory.skin

I created The Curatory because skincare has become unnecessarily difficult to navigate.

There’s always another ingredient, trend or product being positioned as essential, even when it may add very little to a sensible routine.

The Curatory is my attempt to make that decision simpler: a deliberately limited selection of evidence-based skincare, clear routines, and education around what is worth using, what is optional and when you may be better off keeping what you already have.

You can find it at thecuratory.skin.

The under-eye area is where treatment categories get murky very quickly

Polynucleotides and tear trough filler are both injectable treatments, but they work in very different ways and have very different outcomes.

Filler is mainly about structural support and volume. Polynucleotides are more about skin quality and resilience over time.

Both are useful and both have their place. A tired-looking under-eye can come from very different things: hollowing, pigmentation, thin skin, fluid, anatomy, or simply how the light hits the area.

I am much more interested in the cause first, then we can pick the right product/products after this.

Profhilo Structura isn’t just a stronger version of regular Profhilo.

In terms of ingredients, there are more similarities than differences, but how and where I use it is completely different.

Regular Profhilo is mainly about skin quality:
• hydration
• elasticity
• firmness
• crepey texture

Profhilo Structura I use differently. I think about it more when the lateral part of the face is starting to lose support and definition is being lost along the jawline.

There are other treatments that do this to a greater degree, including Ellansé, HArmonyCa, Radiesse, Scuptra et al. I see Structura and the younger, more gentle, soft-touch cousin to these traditional biostimulators.

Again, one isn’t better than the other, just different products for different indications and for different people.

The best way to build a treatment plan that works for you and your concerns is to book a consultation. I offer consultations and treatments in King’s Cross. Bookings can be made at drmax.co.uk

Va**ng is often discussed in terms of lung health, but skin health depends on blood flow and controlled repair processes.

Current evidence suggests va**ng can increase oxidative stress and inflammatory signalling, both of which are relevant to skin ageing.

We don’t yet have the same long-term skin data that we have for smoking, but it is still worth considering as part of the bigger picture.

Not every concern needs treating.

Good aesthetic medicine is not just about what can be done, but what should be done.

I’d always planned to make a post when I reached 100 five-star reviews across Google and . I don’t know if I was expecting some kind of fanfare, but it came and went and I didn’t think about it very much.

Now, a few months later I have quite a few more than this and it’s feels wrong not to celebrate it.

I often get bogged down in the technicalities of what I do, from the products I choose, the evidence I read, all the way down to the pencils I use to mark up. These reviews are a reminder that at the heart of what I do isn’t the treatments that I perform, but the people I’m treating.

If you’ve had a treatment with me and taken the time to write a review at any point over the past few years, I’m more grateful than you probably realise.

Collagen supplements are popular, but the evidence for visible skin benefits is still developing.
Some studies suggest modest improvements in hydration or elasticity, but they are unlikely to replace the benefits of consistent skincare, sun protection, and evidence-based in-clinic treatments.
