New Aesthetics Clinic to Open in Heart of Aberdeen
Aberdeen based medical aesthetics clinic and training provider, Hourglass Aesthetics, is launching a new four-storey clinic on Schoolhill to meet the growing demand for its services and courses.
Following a six-figure investment from owner and director, Dr Hassan Abbas, the new practice is due to open in Autumn 2022 and is based on a medically-driven model, where services and procedures are carried out by himself and a team of qualified nurse practitioners.
First established in 2017, the clinic offers non-surgical aesthetic treatments, from wrinkle-relaxing and fat dissolving procedures, to fillers and thread lifts as well as training courses for healthcare professionals.
The practice will move from its current premises in Kingswells to the new city centre location which will be home to four treatment rooms, a beauty and skincare space, as well as a brand new training academy, which is set to attract trainees from across the North-east and the Highlands and Islands.

Dr Hassan Abbas said: “I’m very excited about the upcoming launch of our new clinic in the heart of the city centre and can’t wait to see the space take shape. We’ve put a lot of effort and attention into creating a comforting environment with the wow-factor for all our clients to enjoy.
“We feel strongly that safety and precision should be at the heart of all treatments - which should be led by competent doctors and nurses.
“By medicalising aesthetics and keeping it scientific, our approach is consultation and assessment based, expressing risks and benefits transparently to our clients.
“We take into consideration the effect of treatments on physical outcomes, as well as psychological ones - our aim is to always maintain natural-appearing results.”
Currently under development, the building is being transformed into a space that aligns with the ethos of Hourglass Aesthetics - with natural textures, organic tones and foliage at the heart of the design to create a welcoming, contemporary and gender-neutral environment.

The training academy run by Dr Abbas also hosts a variety of foundation and advanced aesthetic training courses for healthcare practitioners.
Two new courses are set to launch at the clinic: ‘Advanced Botulinum Techniques’ and ‘Aesthetics Safety and Complication Management’.
Dr Abbas added: “This will be the first dedicated aesthetics training academy in the North-east of Scotland.
“I have been running training courses for several years, and opening a larger space to accommodate bigger groups was the next logical step - which is why we’re dedicating an entire floor to host formal courses, masterclasses as well as clinical supervision for practitioners to maintain their skill.”
Once complete, the space will undergo an inspection to meet Healthcare Improvement Scotland standards.
