TUCKED away on a discreet Charles Street address in Mayfair, Le Petit Saint feels less like an aesthetic clinic and more like a private salon for considered self-care.
In a city where tweakments are often loud and trend-led, this refined space takes a markedly different approach: beauty as something to be revealed, not reinvented.
Le Petit Saint Clinic Reception
Founded by cosmetic physician Dr Joseph Hkeik, whose career spans more than two decades and continents, Le Petit Saint brings a distinctly European sensibility to London’s aesthetics scene. Dr Hkeik’s philosophy is rooted in proportion, balance and restraint, an understanding of the face that feels closer to art history than social media. The aim is never to erase character, but to preserve and gently enhance it.
Alongside the founder, he works closely with Dr Raul Cetto, a leading force in non-surgical facial aesthetics and a pioneer in dermal fillers. A brain that you can pick about all things skin, health and anti-ageing – and one that helped steer me in the right direction of topical creams for my skin that was flaring up.
Dr Joseph Hkeik’s Consultation Office
From the moment you arrive, the tone is set. Interiors are calm, elegant and intentionally unclinical – a very pink entrance immediately makes you feel at home – and it encourages clients to slow down. Consultations are unhurried and deeply personalised, built around listening as much as assessment. Here, treatment plans are not pre-set packages but bespoke strategies, designed to evolve with the individual over time.
The clinic’s aesthetic medicine offering is thoughtfully selective. Anti-wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers are delivered with a light hand, prioritising natural movement and harmony. Collagen-stimulating biostimulators, advanced periorbital work and non-surgical facial balancing are used to support the skin’s structure rather than mask it. The results are subtle: the kind that prompt comments about looking “well” rather than “done”.

Skin health is treated with equal reverence. Advanced facials blend medical-grade formulations with technology-led modalities such as lasers, LED therapy and micro-needling, always with long-term skin integrity in mind. Each facial is tailored to you, addressing concerns like texture, hydration and luminosity without chasing instant, short-lived results.

What truly sets Le Petit Saint apart, however, is its seamless integration of wellness into the aesthetic journey. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, lymphatic drainage, IV infusions and restorative body treatments recognise the intrinsic link between inner balance and outer radiance. It’s a holistic approach that feels both modern and quietly indulgent.
In an era increasingly defined by extremes, Le Petit Saint stands for something more enduring: discernment. This is not a clinic driven by trends, but by taste, expertise and a respect for individuality. For those seeking aesthetic care that feels thoughtful, luxurious and deeply personal, Le Petit Saint offers a new kind of Mayfair ritual – one rooted in confidence, not correction.
