The Story Behind Āatma

Our Story
Āatma Aesthetics was founded with one belief: that aesthetic care should feel as considered and personal as any medical relationship.

Based inside The O2 in London, the clinic was built around doctor-led standards - medical-grade products, conservative treatment planning, and outcomes that look natural at every age. Whether you're booking your first treatment or building a long-term skincare routine, the same principle applies: results that look like you, only better.
Our Philosophy
Aesthetic medicine done well is restrained. The goal isn't to change how you look - it's to refine what's already there.

Every treatment plan at Āatma is shaped around your face, your goals, and how you want to age. We talk you through what each option actually does and, just as importantly, what it doesn't. The result: subtle changes that build confidence without ever being obvious.

Meet Dr. Shaan

The Doctor Behind the Clinic

Dr Shaan Patel trained at the University of Southampton and built his clinical foundation across hospitals in the UK and Australia before moving into aesthetic medicine. Years of NHS and acute care work shape how he practises today: methodical, conservative, and grounded in anatomy.

His approach is built on a simple rule - treat what's in front of you, not what's in fashion. That means honest consultations, treatment plans that prioritise long-term face shape over short-term fixes, and a willingness to say "no, not yet" or "no, not this" when it's the right answer.

The result is a practice where most clients return, and where word of mouth has built the bulk of the patient base.
Introducing Dr. Ria 

Meticulous Care, Natural Results

IMG
Dr Ria Saraf graduated from the University of Nottingham before completing her medical training across London hospitals in emergency medicine and General Practice. This has shaped an approach that is calm, meticulous, and centred around understanding each patient as an individual.

She believes the best aesthetic treatments are the ones that go unnoticed. Rather than following trends or chasing dramatic change, Ria focuses on creating balanced, natural-looking results that preserve facial character while enhancing confidence.

For Ria, aesthetic medicine is not about changing faces. It's about helping people look refreshed, feel confident, and still recognise themselves in the mirror.

Had a lovely Fire and Ice facial at Aatma aesthetics. So relaxing, and the therapist talked me through every step. The clinic is beautifully presented. Will definitely be back!

aesthetic treatment, and I couldn't be more impressed. As a 50-year-old woman new to injections, I was nervous, but Dr Shaan made me feel completely at ease. He explained the Sculptra procedure in detail and kept checking in to ensure I was comfortable throughout.He also gave me a kind discount on Botox, which smoothed my forehead lines beautifully and looks completely natural. After the treatment, my skin looks brighter, my pores are tightened, and I feel refreshed and more vibrant. I highly recommend Dr. Shaan ! I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Had a great experience Aatma Aesthetics last week. Dr. Shaan and his team were super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Immediately made me feel welcome. I had the fire and ice facial. Highly recommend. We discussed my skin type prior, to ensure my skin didn’t react poorly. The facial was quite a relaxing experience. My skin felt amazing after but truly in the next couple days I noticed my skin was glowing and more even! Thank you so much to everyone at Aatma Aesthetics!

My visit to Aatma Aesthetics was absolutely superb, I couldn’t recommend it enough. I was immediately made to feel very welcome and find Dr Shaan and his team to be incredibly personable and knowledgable. Whilst getting my Fire and Ice Facial I was kept informed throughout with what to expect with each step, as well as what the different products aimed to achieve. Not only was the treatment itself incredibly relaxing, but the results were fantastic. This facial made my skin glow in a way I didn’t even think it was capable of, I was genuinely shocked. I also really appreciated the bespoke advice and recommendations that followed. In the end I walked away with radiant skin, a better understanding of how to manage it, and a clinic I can rely on in the future for high quality treatment. In summary: a brilliant experience from beginning to end, I already can’t wait to go back!

Dr. Shan is a lovely man, very knowledgable and skilled. I learned a lot about the products being used. I have been doing fillers for a few years now but this was the most painless process I’ve ever experienced in a normally painful treatment area (lips) - also next to no swelling or bruising which I’m usually quite prone to. This is definitely my regular spot now. Highly recommend!
