Dr hasan benar

Dr Hasan Benar is a London-based dermatologist with more than 15 years of experience in medical dermatology, aesthetic medicine and advanced body treatments. He practises at Dr Elif Clinic, 54 Harley Street, where his main areas are cellulite treatment (CelluSmooth®), Endolift® laser skin tightening, anti-wrinkle injections and PLLA biostimulators such as Sculptra® and Juläine™.

Melasma and hyperpigmentation: Dr Benar has treated melasma and hyperpigmentation for 15 years and has seen more than 10,000 patients with pigmentation. He uses the Benar Pigment Protocol™, a combination of personalised prescription skincare, a prescribed oral treatment where suitable and in-clinic chemical peels. Stubborn cases may also be treated with Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, Tixel, Fotona or medical mesotherapy. Because melasma often returns, every patient is followed up every three months with a maintenance plan. He has extensive experience treating pigmentation in darker skin types.

Cellulite – CelluSmooth®: Over the past ten years Dr Benar has treated more than 1,000 patients with different patterns and severities of cellulite. He developed CelluSmooth®, his own registered protocol for medical cellulite subcision: an ultrasound assessment, medical subcision to release the fibrous bands that cause dimpling and tethering, and a skin booster, all in one session. Every patient has a detailed consultation to check whether subcision is suitable and to set realistic expectations.

Endolift®: Dr Benar has offered Endolift® laser skin tightening since 2019 and has performed more than 3,000 Endolift treatments. He is the first author of a 234-patient comparative study on Endolift-based skin tightening published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology (2024) and the founder of the Endoskin® protocol. In February 2025 he was faculty, alongside Prof. Roberto Ruffa, at the EndoliftX® Body Sculpting Masterclass for doctors held at 54 Harley Street and announced by Endolift UK.

Anti-wrinkle injections (Botox): Dr Benar has 15 years of experience with anti-wrinkle injections and has performed more than 10,000 treatments. His GentleGlow™ technique uses a fine 34-gauge needle and bacteriostatic saline dilution for more comfortable injections, with a Plinest® polynucleotide step for the forehead, aiming for a natural, rested look rather than a frozen one.

Sculptra® and Juläine™ (PLLA biostimulators): Dr Benar performs Sculptra® and Juläine™ poly-L-lactic acid treatments himself, to restore facial volume and improve skin quality gradually. Dr Elif Clinic has performed more than 5,000 PLLA biostimulator treatments, including nearly 1,000 Juläine™ treatments. His published Endoskin study combined Endolift laser with PLLA, and he trains other doctors in PLLA biostimulators.

Dr Benar sees patients in London for cellulite, skin tightening, anti-wrinkle injections, Sculptra®, Juläine™ and body contouring.

Fees: aesthetic consultation £195. Treatment consultation £80 (for a specific treatment such as CelluSmooth® or Endolift®), deducted from the treatment price if you go ahead.
