CLINICAL DIRECTOR

Dr Liz Kelleher

BDS NUI · MFD RCSI · PDip TLHE · MSc Aesthetic Medicine

Dr Liz Kelleher is the Clinical Director and founder of Elanamie Clinic. She has been practising aesthetic medicine for 15 years and has been a dentist for 30 (she doesn't look it).

Background

Liz holds a Master's (Distinction) in Aesthetic Medicine from Queen Mary University of London, where she won the Grimaldi Prize for academic excellence. She is one of the most qualified aesthetic medicine practitioners in Ireland. Her undergraduate degree is in Dentistry from the National University of Ireland, with postgraduate qualifications from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.

She founded Elanamie Clinic in 2014. The clinic moved to its current premises in the Watergold Building, Douglas, in 2022. In 2025, the clinic expanded into a second adjoining unit giving more space for our Regeneration practice. Liz delivers anti-wrinkle injections, dermal filler, and regeneration treatments, as well as leading the clinic's medical and clinical standards.

Non-surgical aesthetic treatments are medical procedures. The industry is fast-growing but remains relatively new and lightly regulated. Depth of knowledge, quality of care, and experience matter — both for results and for safety.

“Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.”

— Betty Friedan (1921-2006) One of the founders of the feminist movement, Betty Friedan continued to inspire women throughout her life, writing about her experiences with aging in The Fountain of Age. In this quote, Friedan captures the concept of successful aging. Let's redefine later life as a time of growth instead of inevitable decline.

Continuing education

Liz is consistently active in training — both attending and delivering it. She runs LK Training for medical professionals interested in aesthetic medicine, and regularly attends international conferences and advanced product training.
