Q&A With Dr Christopher Leat
HOW DID YOU START IN COSMETIC MEDICINE?
I remember my girlfriend (now my wife) returning from a visit to a beautician in about 1994.
She said “there’s a doctor there doing collagen – I think you should learn how to do that – you might like it”.
This was before Botox and all the different treatments we have now. That doctor taught me how to do collagen injections.
Within Three years Botox, Restylane, IPL, and lasers appeared and the rest is history.
Back then I never thought cosmetic medicine would be a full time job for me.
WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE PART OF YOUR WORK?
I have a great deal of variety in my work – skin care, skin cancers, leg veins, and anti-ageing cosmetic medicine.
However, I probably get the most personal enjoyment out of making a real difference to someone’s appearance – something that changes their life in a positive way.
I’ve had patients start new careers and relationships after treatment.
That’s what cosmetic medicine is really about in my mind – helping to give the confidence to live your life to the full.
FAVOURITE FOOD?
I love Asian food and curries, anything spicy.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO AWAY FROM WORK?
I love playing golf, but rarely have the time. Usually just an hour at the golf range – which is very relaxing for me.
The whole family loves skiing holidays and we go to the snow when we can.
WHO’S IN THE FAMILY?
My wife Tricia, and two boys aged 12 and 15, and Milo the dog.
