A doctor first

Many aesthetic practitioners come from nursing or dentistry. Dr Lucey trained as a medical doctor, graduating with honours from University College Dublin in 2003, and is a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. He worked in surgery and oncology and lectured in head and neck surgery: the anatomy that matters most when you’re treating a face.

He now practises aesthetic medicine only, and has trained other doctors in anti-wrinkle injections.

How he works

Every face has its own strengths, so there’s no standard plan. Dr Lucey looks at how your muscles move, your proportions and what you’d like to change, then designs the treatment himself.

“I will design your treatment myself to fit your needs on a one-to-one basis.”
Dr David Lucey

It’s a solo practice, so you see the same doctor every time. There’s no rush and no hard sell, plenty of time for questions, and he’s there for follow-up questions afterwards. His leaning is towards less: read Less is the new more and how pro-ageing changed his approach.

Finding the door

Suite 10 is on the first floor of Morrison Chambers, 32 Nassau Street, across the road from Trinity’s Nassau Street entrance and next door to Costa. There’s no sign: look for the brass Nº 32. The clinic is private and by appointment only.

Patients describe a room that feels more like a study than a clinic: bookcases, a piano, a tapestry, and views over towards Trinity College.

On Wednesdays Dr Lucey sees patients in Newbridge, at 7 Edward Street (the “Public House” door, first floor on the left).
