Meet The Team

Caroline graduated from the University of Dundee School of Medicine in 2000 (MBChB MRCGP) and built her reputation as a trusted family doctor at Allan Park Medical Practice in Stirling.

In 2018, she founded FrownDocs – bringing together her medical expertise and lifelong passion for aesthetics.

As Medical Director, some say it’s Caroline’s unwavering commitment to the highest professional and safety standards that sets FrownDocs apart. Others point to her deep medical knowledge and grasp of cutting-edge technology.

But most agree it’s the award-winning, natural-looking results that leave them feeling awesome.

Risha graduated (MBChB, MRCGP, DFFP, DRCOG) from the University of Dundee School of Medicine in 2000, qualifying as a GP in 2005.

Alongside her work as a Doctor at Woodhead Medical Practice in Kirkintilloch, Risha branched into aesthetics – keen to bring her medical expertise into an otherwise poorly regulated sector. She trained with the industry-leading Facial Aesthetics Courses and worked intensively alongside our founder, Dr Caroline.

In 2023, Risha opened FrownDocs’ second clinic, bringing the practice’s unique blend of expertise, artistic flair and advanced technology to clients in Lenzie and across West-Central Scotland.

Soon after, she was named Rising Star in Medical Aesthetics – a prestigious award celebrating emerging talent demonstrating excellence in their work.

Elaine graduated MBChB from the University of Dundee School of Medicine in 2011, and after hospital training, qualified as a GP in 2018 – working closely alongside Dr Caroline at Allan Park Medical Practice, where she built a reputation for her thorough, thoughtful approach to patient care.

Transitioning to aesthetics, Elaine gained foundation and advanced training qualifications from the MATA training academy before joining the FrownDocs family in 2021, drawn by the opportunity to combine her clinical background with a more creative, patient-focused way of working.

With a keen mind, artistic flair and a friendly way with clients, Elaine is fully trained in all injectable aesthetic treatments and loves giving clients their confidence back.

John Biddlestone is a plastic surgeon with a particular interest in surgery to the head and neck. He has completed fellowships in microsurgery and facial reanimation, and now works in Glasgow, collaborating with fellow surgeons on complex cases.

Beyond the operating theatre, John has written numerous papers, presented research internationally, and helps train the next generation of surgeons. He holds membership in numerous professional organisations, alongside a PhD in gene regulation and expression.

Above all, John is known for his patient-centred approach – listening carefully and ensuring every patient feels informed, confident and supported from consultation through to recovery.

We’re delighted to welcome John to the FrownDocs family. You can book an appointment at our Stirling branch, where he holds regular clinics and theatre lists.

With over 20 years of experience in Plastic Surgery within the NHS, Nicola specialises in minor surgical procedures, including skin lesion removals and the removal of benign lumps and bumps.

Her background spans scrub, anaesthetics and minor surgery, giving her an exceptionally well-rounded skill set to provide safe and effective treatments.

Nicola graduated with a BSc in Nursing and holds postgraduate qualifications in Perioperative Practice, Plastic Surgery & Burns, and Minor Surgical Practices at MSc level. She’s also in the final year of an MSc in Nursing Advancing Professional Practice, continually expanding her expertise to deliver the best possible care.

Outside of work, Nicola loves travelling and spending time with family and friends – that is, when she’s not busy studying!

A Nurse Specialist since graduating from Napier University Edinburgh over 15 years ago (MAHons 1998, RGN 2001), Becky spent her early career helping chest, heart and stroke patients make sustainable lifestyle changes — supporting them emotionally and treating each as a whole person.

She’s since brought that holistic approach to Women’s Wellness, guiding and supporting women through perimenopause and menopause. Alongside this, Becky offers aesthetic treatments and specialist weight management support, combining clinical expertise with a caring, patient-centred approach.

Working closely with Dr Risha, the Women’s Wellness Clinic offers women an all-encompassing pathway of advice, support and time in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Outside the clinic, Becky is a mum to three boys and one disorganised husband, and still finds time for running and travel. We’re not entirely sure how she does it all – we’re just glad she does!

One of the more recent additions to the team, Michelle brings a wealth of experience in the beauty and aesthetics industry, having built her career around helping clients feel confident and cared for in their skin.

Holding an HND in Beauty Therapy, Michelle is one of our skin specialists, fully qualified to consult on and administer our complete range of non-injectable treatments. She takes the time to understand each client’s goals before recommending a tailored approach, always balancing technical expertise with a genuine passion for skincare.

Adored by clients and the team alike, Michelle’s blend of expertise and good nature has seen her fit seamlessly into the FrownDocs family. Whether it’s her first consultation with a nervous new client or catching up with a familiar face, she brings the same warmth and attentiveness to every appointment.

Over the past two decades, Jacqueline has worked throughout the beauty industry in Scotland, as well as in spa and salon management in the US and Australia.

After qualifying with an HND in Beauty Therapy, Jacqueline trained with market leaders Finishing Touches and Goldeneye before opening her own specialist semi-permanent makeup studio in 2011.

Highly trained in all areas of semi-permanent makeup — including eyebrows, eyeliner, lip colour and microblading — Jacqueline offers clients simple but effective ways to subtly enhance their appearance and boost self-confidence.

Sheena supports the clinic with vital behind-the-scenes organisation and finance, delivering the administrative structure that keeps everything running efficiently. From planning and problem-solving to keeping the team grounded day-to-day, her support helps the business run like a well-oiled machine.

When she’s not managing numbers or planning for the clinic’s future, Sheena enjoys travelling, working in her garden, and spending quality time with family and friends.

Emily is our part-time receptionist and all-round ray of sunshine at FrownDocs Stirling. She’s currently juggling school life with helping out at the clinic, where she keeps things running smoothly at the front desk (and keeps us all on our toes!).

As the daughter of our Clinical Director, medicine is in her blood — and she hopes to follow in her mum’s footsteps one day. For now, she’s loving the chance to meet our lovely patients, learn the ropes, and soak up a bit of behind-the-scenes medical magic.

When she’s not studying or working, you’ll find her sipping iced coffee, watching medical dramas with a critical eye, or convincing us all she’s the boss (she might not be wrong…).
