Alice Henshaw is a New Zealand-born nurse prescriber and aesthetic practitioner working in London. She founded Harley Street Injectables in 2014, a non-surgical aesthetic clinic in Marylebone, and later launched the skincare brand Skincycles. She holds prescribing registration in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, along with a Level 7 Diploma in aesthetic medicine.

Early life and education

Henshaw was born and raised in New Zealand. She studied nursing at the University of Auckland, where she completed her Bachelor of Nursing degree, and went on to work as a cardiac nurse. Some years later she moved to the United Kingdom and undertook further postgraduate training in London, gaining an Independent Prescriber (V300) qualification and a Level 7 Diploma in aesthetic medicine. She is also a qualified skin biologist.

Career

Early career

On arriving in Britain, Henshaw took up positions at cosmetic clinics along Harley Street, assisting several of London's senior plastic surgeons. It was in this setting that she turned her attention specifically to injectable and non-surgical treatments. She has since described the market at that time as lacking any real focus on personalised care, and noted that the overwhelming majority of clinics in the sector were male-owned. That combination of factors shaped her decision to open her own practice.

Harley Street Injectables

Harley Street Injectables opened in 2014 at 25 Upper Wimpole Street, Marylebone, London. It has since grown into what is described as the largest clinic on Harley Street operating exclusively within non-surgical aesthetics. The clinic's menu currently covers more than 100 treatments, ranging from skin rejuvenation and body contouring to hair restoration and intimate health procedures.

Henshaw's clinical approach centres on treating the face as a whole rather than targeting individual features in isolation. Her full-face method for botulinum toxin and dermal filler work, and a bespoke lip injection technique she developed, drew considerable attention within the profession and are cited as factors behind the clinic's growth. She has spoken publicly about turning away clients or redirecting them to alternative treatments when she judges the requested procedure to be unsuitable. She attributes much of the clinic's referral business to this practice.

The clinic is independently owned and is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Industry roles

Henshaw is a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for Allergan Aesthetics and uses that platform to train other practitioners and speak at industry events. She contributed to NEXT by Galderma, a publication widely noted as the first trend-forecasting report of its kind in the medical aesthetics sector.

In August 2025, the British Beauty Council selected her as one of a small group of named practitioners to comment publicly on the UK government's announcement of increased licensing and regulation of the aesthetics sector.

In 2025, she served as a judge for the Marie Claire UK Skin Awards, chosen alongside leading consultant dermatologists and cosmetic practitioners from across the UK.

In 2026 she was a speaker at IMCAS (International Master Course on Ageing Science) in Paris, where her session covered regenerative aesthetics, collagen biostimulation, and longevity-focused care.

Skincycles

The idea for a standalone skincare range came out of the pandemic period. With the clinic closed during lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, Henshaw found that clients were buying whatever at-home products they could find, with limited confidence in what those products actually did. She had long felt that the gap between clinical results and the standard of consumer skincare available was a genuine problem, and the disruption of the lockdowns brought that into sharper focus for her.

Skincycles launched in 2021. The range was put together in collaboration with dermatological scientists and is built around a patented active complex called TGHA4, which targets hydration, pigmentation, texture, and visible ageing. The brand later secured a retail placement at Liberty of London.

Recognition

At the 2023 Global Health and Pharma (GHP) Awards, Henshaw was named Best Aesthetic Injector in London. She has been listed in the Tatler Cosmetic Surgery Guide and has been quoted as an expert in Grazia, Marie Claire UK, and British Vogue, among other UK and international publications.
