7 Questions with Dr Raffaella Gabassi

Dr Raffaella Gabassi

Have you always been in the beauty industry?

Yes I have indirectly, I am a Cosmetic Dentist and always had a passion for facial aesthetics.

What inspired you to begin your journey into cosmetic dentistry?

There is nothing more rewarding and heartwarming than restoring a neglected dentition and seeing life changing effects it has on all individuals. That first smile often comes with tears of joy. It is the most beautiful moment for any cosmetic dentist.

How did this lead you into facial aesthetics?

I have always been a holistic person in the way I tie health and wellness together, enhancing natural beauty and by improving smiles, boosting confidence and in so doing transforming lives. This includes creating a fresher younger looking face, enhancing teeth, incorporating body treatments and offering diet and fitness advice along the way.

What do you love most about running your business?

The outcomes and the happy clients, most of my clients are referred to by word of mouth and I love taking each client on their very personalised journey to achieve all the positive attributes they are looking for in an ethical and honest manner. I see and treat my clients as if they were part of my extended family.

What challenges did you have to overcome to get to where you are now?

The challenges were mostly down to managing expectations and to nurse the clients into understanding what is possible to achieve with non surgical intervention vs plastic surgery. These challenges I no longer see as challenges as in the many years of practicing, being open and an honest individual I feel very comfortable talking to my clients and addressing concerns as well as referring to other avenues, mainly plastic surgery if the patient so desires.

What sets you apart from other practitioners?

I am not here to deliver treatment for the sake of it, each patient represents me and I treat them as I would like to be treated myself. I am not money driven. I do what I know is right for the patient. I have strong principles and morals.

What's next for the brand?

Teaching others how to approach and deliver facial aesthetic treatments as well as guiding all my clients on the best journey and being there throughout.
