Array Aesthetics Belfast: Inside One of Ireland’s Most Awarded Medical Aesthetic Clinics

Array Aesthetics is a doctor-led, RQIA-registered medical aesthetic clinic on the Lisburn Road in Belfast. Founded by two GMC-registered doctors, it employs a team of consultant surgeons and specialist practitioners across injectables, laser treatments, surgical procedures, and menopause care. It has won the Best Clinic Ireland and Northern Ireland award at the Aesthetics Awards in 2023, 2024, and 2026.

Finding a medical aesthetic clinic that genuinely merits the description is more difficult than it should be. The market for aesthetic treatment in the UK and Ireland has expanded rapidly, and not every provider operates to the same clinical standard. Array Aesthetics in Belfast was founded on the principle that patients deserve named, credentialled practitioners, transparent pricing, and a regulatory environment that holds the clinic accountable. It is located at 665 Lisburn Road in South Belfast and has been providing medical aesthetic care for over a decade.

The clinic is registered with the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority, the body responsible for overseeing independent healthcare providers in Northern Ireland. RQIA registration is not automatic. It requires demonstrable clinical governance, qualified practitioners with appropriate insurance, safe premises, and documented protocols for managing adverse events. For patients in Northern Ireland, RQIA registration is the benchmark to look for when choosing a provider for injectable, energy-based, or surgical aesthetic treatment.

Founded on a Consultant-Led Model

Array Aesthetics was co-founded by Dr Chris Hutton and Dr Judith Storm, both GMC-registered doctors who developed clinical careers in acute medicine before specialising in aesthetic practice. Dr Hutton, GMC 7039324, trained at Queen’s University Belfast and completed a postgraduate certificate in aesthetic medicine at Queen Mary University London. He has performed more than ten thousand injectable procedures over more than a decade of practice, and holds trainer and innovation partner status with Merz Aesthetics. Dr Storm, GMC 7070591, qualified at the University of Edinburgh, worked as a hospital registrar until 2018, and holds a postgraduate certificate in education from Queen’s University Belfast, where she also serves as a postgraduate medical examiner. She is the founder of Dr Storm Skincare, a prescription-grade skincare line developed for clinical use.

The decision to build a multi-doctor clinic was deliberate. Rather than developing a single-practitioner brand, the founders recruited consultant-level clinicians from surgical and medical specialties whose credentials extend well beyond aesthetics. The outcome is a team whose depth of expertise is rarely found in a single aesthetic clinic setting anywhere on the island of Ireland.

The Clinical Team

Mr Konstantinos Kopsidas, GMC 7125463, is a Consultant Ophthalmologist and Oculoplastic Surgeon, a Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology, and an international lecturer in ocular oncology and oculoplastics. He performs upper and lower blepharoplasty, browpexy, direct brow lift, ptosis correction, and eyelid lesion removal at Array. Ms Gemma McKevitt, GMC 6144036, is a Consultant Vascular Surgeon and the first trainee in Northern Ireland to complete vascular surgery training entirely within the specialty. She leads the Array Vein Clinic, offering microsclerotherapy, foam sclerotherapy, and radiofrequency ablation for veins. Mr Andrew Kelly, GMC 6160169, is a Consultant ENT Surgeon and Clinical Lead at the Northern Health and Social Care Trust. He completed a fellowship in advanced rhinology and anterior skull base surgery in Glasgow and performs FaceTite, NeckTite, and submental liposuction at Array.

Dr Jill Brownlees, GMC 6143950, is an NHS GP partner and the clinic’s lead clinician for menopause and wellness, holding the British Menopause Society Management of Menopause Certificate. Nurse practitioners Dominique Shore and Trish Short both bring backgrounds in acute NHS settings, including emergency care and anaesthetics, and completed their aesthetic training through Array Academy before joining the clinic’s injectable and energy-based treatment team.

Treatments and Pricing

The treatment range at Array Aesthetics covers non-surgical and surgical care within the same regulated environment. Injectable treatments include anti-wrinkle injections starting from £180, lip filler from £200, dermal filler for cheeks, jaw, chin, and profile from £300 per millilitre, tear trough correction at £400, and non-surgical rhinoplasty at £500. Skin booster treatments include Profhilo at £300 per session and polynucleotides from £250. Energy-based treatments include Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling from £500 per session, Ultherapy from £1,500, and BBL broadband light therapy from £350. Surgical procedures include upper blepharoplasty from £3,000 and lower blepharoplasty from £4,000. The menopause and wellness service begins with an initial consultation at £230.

Pricing is published in full on the clinic’s website. The visibility of pricing is in itself an indicator of clinical transparency. Clinics that withhold pricing until consultation typically do so for commercial reasons that do not benefit the patient.

Three Aesthetics Awards in Three Years

The Aesthetics Awards are assessed annually by an independent panel drawn from across the aesthetic medicine industry. The Best Clinic Ireland and Northern Ireland category is one of the most competitive in the programme, drawing entries from across two jurisdictions and a wide range of clinic types. Array Aesthetics won the category in 2023, under the John Bannon Pharmacy Award; in 2024, under the Alma Award; and again in 2026, under the InMode Award. Each win was independently assessed. No other clinic has matched that record across the same period.

For patients comparing providers, a multi-year independent award record offers something that testimonials and marketing cannot: consistent recognition from peers who understand what clinical and operational excellence in aesthetic medicine actually requires.

Array Academy and the Training Dimension

Alongside the clinical practice, Dr Hutton and Dr Storm co-founded Array Academy, a private aesthetic training school operating across the UK and Ireland in partnership with Merz Aesthetics. The school trains medical and nursing professionals entering or advancing within the aesthetic specialty. The existence of a training institution is significant for a specific reason: clinics that train others are expected to model the standards they teach, and are subject to a level of peer scrutiny that non-teaching practices are not. That alignment between education and clinical practice tends to produce higher standards on both sides.
