SpecialtiesABOUT
Dr. Shirafkan is an advanced aesthetic injector, known for her expertise in anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, Profhilo injections, mini-thread face lifts, Polynucleotides, mini-thread face lifts, and non-surgical rhinoplasty.
Dr. Shirafkan is a London-trained, GDC-registered Facial Injector and Dentist with over 12 years of experience in general dentistry and cosmetic injectables. After qualifying from Bart's and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, she honed her skills through various dental training posts in the South East before establishing her own practice in London 10 years ago, concentrating on aesthetic injectables. Whilst in practice, she went on to complete the highly competitive MJDF examinations to become a joint member of the Royal College of Surgeons and College of General Dentistry. Her work has earned her recognition in the press, including a cover feature in Global Woman Magazine.
She is continually on the look out for the latest safe, effective, and evidence-based treatments to bring her patients the cutting edge of aesthetic medicine.
Her passion for aesthetic medicine stems from the ability to help patients achieve their desired natural outcomes using a variety of treatments.
The first consultation is a collaborative discussion, focusing on the patient’s desired changes alongside her professional assessment of the most suitable treatments to achieve these goals. Expectations are thoroughly explored, with patient examples provided, as well as a detailed discussion of the risks and benefits associated with each proposed treatment.
Once the patient is fully informed, a personalised treatment plan is formulated, marking the beginning of their journey towards their desired results. A holistic approach to patient care is central to her practice, ensuring that each individual’s concerns remain at the heart of the treatment plan.
With extensive experience in treating highly anxious patients, she believes that, through empathy and patience, significant progress can be achieved.

Harriet InjectionsFor years, I suffered from severe tension headaches due to jaw clenching. After being recommended to OCL, I explored the option of injections for relief. The practitioner was incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic, and thorough, ensuring I fully understood the treatment. The injections themselves were quick and painless, and a few weeks later, my headaches had subsided, and my jaw felt completely relaxed—without altering my face shape in any way. Life-changing!
