Sophie Johnston

Dr Sophie Johnston MBChB MRCGP DFSRH qualified as a medical doctor from the University of Edinburgh in 2009. Following completion of her junior doctor training, which involved working in several medical and surgical specialities in The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and The Western General Hospital in Edinburgh, she moved to Melbourne, Australia. It was whilst working in Melbourne Sophie’s interest in medical skin care and the damaging effects of excessive sun exposure on the skin began to grow.

On return to the UK, she commenced a further 3-year training programme to become a General Practitioner. In 2015 Sophie successfully passed her membership exams with the Royal College of General Practitioners. Not only is Sophie a fully qualified GP but in early 2016 she took on an additional part-time role as a hospital-based Dermatology Speciality Doctor. This work involves both medical and surgical dermatology clinics. Sophie’s interest in dermatology and facial aesthetics are ever growing. She has completed extensive training with Glasgow’s Aesthetic Training Academy and is fully competent in the use of botulinum toxin and dermal fillers. She is now undertaking further study with Cardiff University to obtain her Diploma in Practical Dermatology.

Her passion is to provide safe, holistic and medically proven dermatological and aesthetic care. She thrives on making her patients feel happy, confident and healthy!
