If you’ve been searching for a trusted aesthetic injector near Lisburn, Belfast, or Co. Down, you’re not short of options. But how do you know who to trust with your face? As a dentally qualified aesthetic injector — and one of the injectors featured in the Ulster Tatler Aesthetics Guide 2026 — I want to give you an honest look at what good care in this field actually looks like.

A Clinic in the Heart of Hillsborough

Nestled just off the A1 between Lisburn and Newry, Hillsborough is a village that quietly punches above its weight. It’s also where I’ve built my practice, Dr Janice Brown Aesthetics & Skin — a boutique clinic designed around one thing: results you feel confident in, delivered safely by a dental surgeon and aesthetic injector.

Patients travel from Belfast, Lisburn, Dromore, Banbridge and beyond. Many tell me the same thing: they wanted someone with a clinical background. Someone who could look at their whole face — not just the area they’d booked in for — and give an honest, clinical opinion.

“Good aesthetics isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about understanding anatomy, respecting what’s already there, and enhancing it with precision.”

What Does It Mean to Be a Medical Injector?

The aesthetics industry in Northern Ireland — as across the UK — remains largely unregulated when it comes to who can administer injectables. Non-medically trained practitioners can legally offer anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers, which is why choosing a qualified professional with a clinical background matters more than ever.

As a dental surgeon and trained aesthetic injector, my background means I understand facial anatomy at a depth that directly reduces risk. I know where arteries and nerves run. I know how to recognise and manage complications. And I know when to say no — which is, perhaps, the most important skill of all.

Featured in the Ulster Tatler Aesthetics Guide 2026

Being recognised in the Ulster Tatler Aesthetics Guide 2026 isn’t something I take lightly. Ulster Tatler has been Northern Ireland’s leading lifestyle publication for decades, and its Aesthetics Guide is one of the most trusted resources for patients looking for reputable practitioners across the province.

For me, inclusion in the guide reflects a commitment to clinical standards and patient care that I’ve worked hard to build — consultation by consultation, treatment by treatment, right here in Hillsborough.

What to Expect at Dr Janice Brown Aesthetics & Skin

Every patient journey starts with a consultation. I want to understand not just what you’re hoping to achieve, but your medical history, your skin, and your lifestyle. Results that look natural are planned — they don’t happen by accident.

The clinic offers anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers for lips, cheeks and jawline definition, Profhilo, Sculptra, Polynucleotides, PDO Thread Lifts, Tixel skin resurfacing and a range of skin health treatments. Whether you’re coming in for the first time or have been considering a specific treatment for a while, the conversation always starts with honesty — not a hard sell.

If you’re based in Lisburn, South Belfast, Hillsborough, Dromore, Banbridge or anywhere along the A1 corridor, I’d love to hear from you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Aesthetic Treatments in Hillsborough

Do I need to see a dentist or doctor for Botox and fillers?

In the UK, you don’t legally have to — but you should. Anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers are prescription-only medicines, meaning a prescriber must be involved. As a dental surgeon, I both prescribe and administer treatments myself, which means there’s no disconnect between assessment and delivery. It also means that if anything were to go wrong, I’m qualified to manage it safely.

How far is the clinic from Belfast and Lisburn?

The clinic is just off the A1 in Hillsborough, typically 15 to 25 minutes from Greater Belfast and Lisburn. Patients also come from Dromore, Banbridge, Newry and further into Co. Down. Private parking is available on site.

What treatments do you offer?

The clinic specialises in medical-grade injectables — anti-wrinkle injections (Botox) and dermal fillers for the lips, cheeks, jawline, chin and tear troughs. I also offer Profhilo, Sculptra, Polynucleotides, PDO Thread Lifts, Tixel skin resurfacing, PRP hair and skin treatments, Chemical Peels, Dermalux LED and medical-grade skincare. Every treatment plan is bespoke to you.

What happens at a first consultation?

We’ll talk through what you’re hoping to achieve, review your medical history, and I’ll assess your facial anatomy. I’ll give you my honest clinical opinion — including whether I think a treatment is right for you. There’s never any pressure. The goal is always your best result, not a full treatment list.

How do I know my results will look natural?

Natural results come from restraint, anatomical knowledge, and not over-treating. My goal is always for patients to look refreshed — not done. I use conservative amounts, assess results over time, and won’t follow a trend if it doesn’t suit the individual face in front of me.

Are you taking new patients?

Yes — new patients are always welcome at Dr Janice Brown Aesthetics & Skin in Hillsborough. Book via the new patient enquiry form or the online booking portal. I’d love to help you start your aesthetic journey.
