Welcome to Skin Medical by Dr Sabika Karim. A Doctor Led, Aesthetics and Skin Clinic based in Northwood.
Dr Sabika Karim (GMC registration 6041073) MBBS, nMRCGP, MBCAM is the founder of the award winning clinic Skin Medical and an international educator.
Having attained her medical degree at King’s College London, Dr Sabika concurrently trained in both general practice and aesthetics. Dr Sabika decided to specialise in the latter after being moved by its power to give her patients lasting confidence and create a real positive change in their lives.
In her two decades of experience, Dr Karim has garnered a global reputation as an innovative and highly skilled aesthetic doctor and thought leader. Through teaching and lecturing at her clinic, Skin Medical, and internationally, she has raised industry standards and formed some of today’s best practices. She has been a key opinion leader for injectables and energy-based devices for companies such as Nordberg Medical, Sinclair, Candela, Cutera, Evolus, and Anteage, helping to develop novel treatments and protocols.
Our treatments are carefully selected to support healthy skin, natural results and long term confidence. Each option we offer is grounded in medical expertise and tailored to individual skin concerns, goals and lifestyle. Whether you are looking to refresh, restore or maintain your skin, every treatment begins with a considered consultation and a personalised approach.
Looking ahead to 2026, many patients are choosing winter as a moment to pause, reset and invest in their skin. With fewer social pressures and naturally lower sun exposure, it is an ideal time to focus on treatments that refresh the skin, improve quality and support long term results.
At this time of year, I often see patients wanting to look brighter, fresher and more rested without committing to treatments that involve significant downtime. The good news is that this is absolutely achievable. When selected carefully, the right aesthetic treatments can improve hydration, radiance, skin texture and definition while also laying strong foundations for the months ahead.
Winter treatments are not just about short term results. They are about preparing your skin to look its best throughout the year, supporting natural regeneration and entering 2026 feeling confident, refreshed and well cared for.
I was really happy with my treatments at Skin Medical with Dr Saif. He aced the brief I provided and also helped me understand my facial elements better. Super happy with my filler results! Would definitely recommend.
I’ve had microneedling and a chemical peel with Dr Shabana, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her more. From the very first appointment, there was absolutely no pressure – everything was explained clearly and honestly, and I always felt completely at ease.Appointments are genuinely a good time; the atmosphere is calm, friendly, and professional, and Dr Shabana is just overall lovely. I really appreciate the honest advice and the fact that nothing ever feels rushed or sales-driven. If you’re looking for an aesthetic doctor who is skilled, calm, and truly has your best interests at heart, Dr Shabana is amazing.
Omg thank god for Dr Sabika Karim & Skin medical. I can not thank this amazing professional, caring person enough ( gold standard 5⭐️ from the moment I walked I was looked after.
My journey at Skin medical has been fantastic! My skin feels revitalised and has never been this clear. The products have improved my skin tremendously and I’m very happy with the results. Special thanks to Malini, Dr Sabika & Lorraine.
Just come back from having treatments with Dr Sabika, what can I say but she’s the most down to earth, warm and understanding doctor. She doesn’t push treatments on you but listens to what you want and delivers it with professionalism . The receptionist Lorraine is very accommodating, I was cold despite the hot weather so she covered me with two blankets and put up the heating. She also makes a lovely cup of tea!
Been seeing Dr Sabika for about 2 years now. Always a lovely relaxed atmosphere…. Never feel I’m being pushed into treatments. Always has time to answer any questions in an informative way. Very happy with my results, such a natural look which is what I ask for! Would highly recommend! Wouldn’t go anywhere else! Very happy customer. 5 stars.
