Designing a bespoke beauty space
Bukobza’s passion for design predates his career in aesthetics. “Before I left home at 18, I wanted to become an architect and interior designer. When I started working on Waldor, I decided to bring my passion to life and design everything myself. From the interiors to the actual furniture which I drew and had all made bespoke. Even some of the wallpapers in the clinic were designed by me.”
Every aspect of the clinic has a story. “The bar is one of my favourite parts. The bar is made out of pink onyx that took me months to choose so I could find the perfect stone. And the bathrooms complete the whole experience.
“I designed it with a vision of walking through the rainforest or a jungle – when you get to the bathrooms it’s as if you dive under water, with the fish wallpaper and the fish scale-like images in the toilets.”
Bukobza emphasises the role of interior design in shaping the client experience. “From the feedback we get, I feel like it’s a big part of the customer experience. Clients give us positive feedback about how relaxed and comfortable they feel, and how they love that every treatment they have is different, from the technology to the design.”
Bringing advanced skincare technology to London
Waldor Clinic’s treatment menu blends innovation with personalised care. Bukobza explains, “On my journeys to South Korea, I saw that they tend to stay away from surgeries that are more common in the western world and focus on non-invasive technology that is tailor-made to the client. Not using only one method, but many.”
Bukobza sources the clinic’s devices in collaboration with leading manufacturers in South Korea, selecting technologies that address nearly every skin or body condition. From non-surgical facelifts using HIFU to advanced body contouring treatments, Waldor Clinic offers a complete suite under one roof.
Alongside its advanced skincare and body treatments, Waldor Clinic also hosts semi-permanent makeup artist Nez Hasan in one of its treatment rooms. Hasan offers clients a tailored experience in a luxurious, private setting, and her presence adds another layer of expert services.
In addition, the clinic has a team of expert doctors who offer injectable treatments, including dermal fillers and polynucleotides, ensuring every client can access advanced, results-driven services in one space.
“We make sure to be up to date with every technology that is coming out… we go to seminars and trainings to really understand what’s out there and if there’s anything we should add to our menu,” he says.
A bespoke treatment journey
Each client’s experience at Waldor Clinic is highly personalised. “Most of our treatments start with an AI skin analysis, where we build a 4D model of the face and check every single layer of the skin, then check with the client what their concerns are – and based on that make sure to make the treatment bespoke and provide the right guidance for aftercare routine to be used at home.”
The clinic’s signature Hydraglass South Korean Glass Skin facial exemplifies this bespoke approach. “Our Hydraglass has three initial steps – exfoliation, extraction and hydration – and to that we add another two-to-five different technologies and methods depending on the client’s skin conditions, concerns and the type of Hydraglass treatment they choose.”
Bukobza emphasises that the experience is a journey, not just a treatment. “It starts the moment you walk through the door, to the caring team going over everything with you, then the analysis to the treatment, where the main focus is for you to feel safe and calm. Then the journey continues at home with the right protocol of products to help you achieve your skin goals.”
Complementary enhancements like LED therapy and 24K gold masks further elevate results. “24K gold masks are nice touch to add to very specific treatments to add a little more glow. LED I think is really important to add in order to help the skin recover,” Bukobza says.
