Monique's Story

The Journey Behind UDB

With over 20 years of transforming skin across East London and beyond, Monique brings a rare depth of expertise that can only come from a genuine passion for the craft and an unwavering commitment to results.

Her journey into beauty and aesthetics began in the early 2000s when she and her husband created their own natural skincare line born from a personal need when their son developed eczema. What started as a mother's solution became a beloved brand at the iconic Spitalfields Market, attracting a devoted following that included faces like Idris Elba and Geri Halliwell. Featured in leading publications and supported by The Prince's Trust (now The King's Trust), Monique found herself working alongside industry legends like Liz Earle, learning the art of formulation, business and the science of skin health.

When major retailers came calling, Monique faced a crossroads. Rather than scale into mass production, she chose a different path, one that would allow her to work directly with clients, hands-on and results-focused. As a young mother of two, she enrolled in professional beauty training and discovered her true calling: the transformative power of advanced aesthetic treatments.

That decision led to founding and running a successful beauty salon for over a decade, but Monique's heart always remained with skincare. She pursued her VTCT Advanced Aesthetic Practitioner qualification, positioning herself at the intersection of medical precision and holistic skin wellness, a space where real, lasting transformation happens.

A Reputation Built on Results

Now, as co-founder of UDB Skin Clinic alongside her husband Ed (still her partner after 21 years and four children later), Monique has created something special, a practice that honours both the science and the soul of skincare. Her reputation has grown far beyond East London, clients travel from across the UK and as far as Saudi Arabia to experience her expert touch and transformative treatments. Her expertise is so highly regarded that she now trains doctors and beauty professionals in the critical art of skin analysis and consultation, teaching the nuanced assessment skills that form the foundation of every successful treatment plan.

But here's what matters most: whether you're dealing with your first concern or have been battling persistent skin issues for years, Monique meets you exactly where you are, with zero judgment, genuine understanding, and a clear plan forward.

She knows first hand the emotional weight that skin struggles can carry and approaches every client with the empathy, expertise, and honest commitment you deserve. Her treatments are never cookie-cutter; she tailors every facial, peel, and protocol to your unique skin story, lifestyle, and goals.

Monique thrives on the constant evolution of aesthetic technology and techniques, always staying ahead of the curve so her clients benefit from the most effective, evidence-based treatments available. But she never loses sight of the fundamentals: professional-grade formulations like ZO Skin Health, proven protocols, and the irreplaceable value of experienced, intuitive hands.

At UDB Skin Clinic, Monique has found her home, a space where luxury meets clinical excellence, where every treatment is a journey toward your healthiest, most radiant skin, and where decades of expertise translate into visible, confidence-boosting results.

"Two decades in, and I'm still learning—because your skin deserves nothing less than my absolute best." - Monique
