Dr Askari Townshend
BMBS, BMedSci, MRCS
Medical Director
With 5 years of surgical training (including work in plastic surgery), Dr Townshend has also had research published in several medical journals and worked with an internationally renowned Professor of Dermatology. He has been performing aesthetic treatments for over 5 years.
He is a member of:
- Royal College of Surgeons of England
- General Medical Council
- Medical Protection Society
As our resident expert, Dr Townshend is always on hand so you know exactly who you will see each and every time. He personally performs all treatments ensuring that you are in safe hands and can expect the highest quality of care.
Our discreet premises are set in the heart of Northampton in a beautiful Grade II listed town house. Off Abington St and just a stone’s throw from the Ridings Car Park, we are easily accessible by car and on foot.
We pride ourselves on attaining registration
with the Care Quality Commission (formerly the Healthcare Commission) as an Acute Hospital with Day Surgery
facilities rather than just an Independent Clinic or Private Doctor.
This requires meeting many more stringent standards ensuring the
highest level of client safety. It is important to check that the
clinic that you attend is registered with the Healthcare Commission and
its level of registration.
The Townshend Skin Clinic is within easy reach of the whole of Northamptonshire as well as neighbouring counties. We have a large client base including those living in:
Milton Keynes, Buckingham, Daventry, Rugby, Market Harborough, Corby, Kettering, Wellingborough, Huntingdon, Bedford and many more!

We look forward to welcoming you to the clinic!

Dr Askari P Townshend
