I am a barrister practising exclusively in the field of financial remedy on divorce and have been in silk since 2024. I see Debbie as a client and I unhesitatingly refer others to her, many travel significant distances to see her without reservation. Each of the referred clients have been retained by Debbie as they find her ethical, trustworthy and able to produce superb results (with a natural effect). Some clients have seen her on numerous occasions, over a number of years but she remains as professional, respectful and discreet as ever. Each treatment is approached with a thorough review and assessment to ensure every intervention is clinically justified. Debbie always reviews the last treatment and assesses what may/may not now be appropriate and what new or other options are available. I am also impressed by her willingness to dissuade where a treatment is not suitable or unnecessary. She will not “over-treat”. My latest client referral which I made to Debbie was following an asymmetrical treatment result obtained by an Aesthetic Nurse. My friend was very nervous and asked me to accompany her and stay with her. Debbie’s consultation was excellent (in a highly personal way) and of course included medical history and through, signed consent. Debbie’s deep understanding of facial anatomy enabled her to explain why the result was suboptimal and advised my friend how a correction could be achieved. Needless to say, the treatment was a total success and the new patient was quite overwhelmed by her eye for detail during this more complex case. Debbie followed up the treatment plan with a review which gave the patient a sense of well-being. It’s the same story with everyone I have referred – her preparation is exemplary and she combines years of experience with a natural flair. It is obvious that she continues to keep ahead of her game with training and many hours of private study as she has a depth of knowledge which is hard to rival. Another KC colleague and I have seen the new portfolio of work she is currently compiling. From this it is evident that she is in attendance at International Conferences and working at the top of her industry.

I am writing to you to recommend the services of Dr. Deborah. I am a former senior police officer, now employed as an Assistant Portfolio for His Majesty’s Inspectorate for Constabulary, Fire and Rescue Service. I have been a client of Deborah’s for over 10 years. Deborah’s communication and people skills are excellent, she explains everything well and her emotional intelligence is second to none. Deborah is extremely knowledgeable in her role and has the ability to provide explanations that are clear and understandable. She balances the client’s needs whilst always remaining ultimately professional.

I am delighted to provide a testimonial for Debbie Houghton. I have been a client of Debbie’s since 2015, the year I turned 50, and next year will be my 60th birthday. I can honestly say that Debbie’s expertise has made me look younger than I did at 50, and this is attested by all of my friends and family, as well as Debbie’s numerous clinical photographs. I have regularly visited Debbie for Botox and fillers, approximately 3 times a year, but my face is not stiff, waxy nor shows any signs of interventions, I simply look younger. Debbie administers her services in a professional, efficient and engaging way, always making me feel entirely confident and comfortable in her hands. I have never experienced any pain, discomfort or bruising. In my professional role as Director General in the British Civil Service, and discretion and confidentiality about my personal life is paramount. Moreover, I could not risk looking anything other than composed and professional and certainly could not afford to look as if I had received any drastic interventions in my face. I have never been let down by Debbie, who appreciates my position and the need to feel confident and at my best at all times. I moved from Stamford 2.5 years ago – a 10 hour round trip between the two places, which I still do, and will always do, to receive Debbie’s expert services. I would never consider engaging anyone else in such an important support for my life.

I am a criminal barrister of 24 years’ experience. I am also head of chamber at St Pauls Chambers in Leeds, a post which I have held since 2022. I am also a Master of the Bench at the Honourable Society of Gray’s Inn and sit on the management, equality and diversity, and election committees of Gray’s Inn, London. I am Master of the Library (above the Director of the Library) and will take over as head of the management committee of the Inn in 2026. Gray’s Inn is one of the Inns of Court. To become a barrister in England and Wales one has to be a member of one of the Inns of Court and must be ‘called to the bar’ by them. This reference is provided in my capacity as Deborah’s client. I have been her client for 4 years. I see her every four months and have had various treatments including Botox, fillers and fat dissolving injection. Having been to a consultant dermatologist previously and unhappy with the result, I was delighted to be referred by a close friend to Deborah. From the beginning she has been knowledgeable, friendly, careful to obtain a full history, and to recommend the appropriate treatment. One only needs to look at the photographs of me she logs and keeps; to see the positive difference she has made to my appearance. I receive compliments all the time regarding my youthful look. I am extremely impressed with her ability to deliver natural looking results. I was anxious to avoid looking ‘done’ and she is expert at avoiding it. She knows the face quite literally inside and out and does not overdo it. She clearly has an extremely loyal following of clients. She takes the care to ensure that each treatment is done without any bruising effect and one can go back to work or to a function immediately. She knows how to achieve the desired look with ease. Her expertise is second to none in my opinion. She is clearly at the very top of her industry and I would wholeheartedly, and do, recommend her to everyone interested in such treatment. Added to that she is personable, gets to know her clients and is a lovely person to deal with.

Since relocating to Stamford, from London, in 2011, I have tried several (increasingly) unsatisfactory non-surgical aesthetic options. Then in 2019, I was fortunate enough to have a trusted friend direct me to Dr Deborah and her clinic at Stamford Beauty. From the moment I stepped through her consulting room doors Dr Deborah was brilliant. Her rooms are immaculate, her rituals smooth and confident, orchestrated entirely to the put the client at ease. She was insightful, informative and patient with my concerns. Dr Deborah was spot on with her observations, immediately identifying the reasons for my reticence in undertaking any further procedures. She took the entire appointment at my pace – discussing not only her intentions, but also the potential benefits of some approaches I hadn’t considered. I felt fully informed throughout… and more confident when I left that first appointment, than I had in twenty years. I have been delighted to continue working with Dr Deborah with regular quarterly top-ups and ‘reviews’ ever since. Dr Deborah is an absolute gem.
