Melody Steel

From plastic surgery nursing at St James's to leading aesthetic care in Leeds — over 19 years in private aesthetic practice, with hospital-grade discipline at the heart of every appointment.

Melody Steel — Nurse Prescriber at ELM Aesthetics, Leeds
Hello, and welcome

A nurse-led practice, grounded in clinical excellence.

"What matters most to me is that you feel safe, listened to, and comfortable in the chair."

I'm Melody Steel, a Nurse Prescriber registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). I qualified in 1999 and worked at the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery unit of St James's Hospital, where I learned the disciplines that still shape my work today: anatomy, physiology, safety, and precision.

In 2007 I established my own aesthetics practice — a fully qualified Nurse Prescriber bringing the discipline of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery unit at St James's Hospital into a private setting. The setting changed; the standards did not.

I'm committed to Continuing Professional Development — regular training and updates so that I work with the latest techniques and the most rigorously tested products. The clinic is fully insured, and I use only premium, FDA-approved and CE/UKCA-marked products.

Every treatment begins with a conversation, and your plan is always tailored to you — whether you've come for a subtle enhancement or a complete skin transformation. I look forward to welcoming you to the clinic.
