Roisin Fitzgerald

Dr. Róisín Fitzgerald is a General Practitioner with a special interest in skin health, treatments and injectable rejuvenation. She is the Resident Doctor in Fitzgerald Private Clinic Donegal every Wednesday & Thursday. Dr. Róisín also visits Fitzgerald Private Clinic Dublin regularly.

She is also an Advanced Medical Aesthetic Trainer for Healthxchange Ireland. Following graduation from Medicine in University College Dublin in 2005, she completed her Membership in Surgery, followed by her General Practice training. In addition to working as a General Practitioner, Dr. Róisín is founding Director of Fitzgerald Private Clinic Donegal (formerly known as Ballsbridge Medical Aesthetic Clinic), one of the North West’s best and busiest skin rejuvenation clinics based in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal.

Her extensive training and experience led her into the world of Medical Aesthetics, where her training started in London’s Royal College of Physicians. She is at the forefront of new techniques and trends in medical aesthetics, and continues to develop her skillset through Harley Street training, international courses and seminars. Dr. Róisín offers the highest international standard of the most up to date and safe medical aesthetic treatments from her Donegal clinic. As a practicing GP, she has the experience and ability to combine her medical and cosmetic approach to skin care, and tailor a bespoke approach to the individual client.

Medical Aesthetics have become a common interest for sisters Dr. Róisín and Dr. Deirdre, who both not only have vast medical and surgical experience, but also the artistic eye, hard-work ethic and love for ongoing study within this ever-evolving area. Both Dr. Róisín and Dr. Deirdre are two of the few Irish delegates invited annually to Allergan’s London Masterclasses with the world renowned Plastic Surgeon Dr.Mauricio de Maio.

In 2018 Dr. Róisín realised there was a need to meet with the increasing demand for non-surgical rhinoplasty, so she contacted the co-pioneer of the treatment itself Dr. Ash Labib in order to train under the master himself. It is part of the philosophy of Fitzgerald Private Clinic to ensure continuous learning from world leaders, so that each of our clients can receive world-class care.

Dr. Róisín has presented at national and international conferences and continues her commitment to the provision of high quality bespoke and safe non-surgical aesthetic procedures and skin care.

Gráinne Gillespie

Skin Therapist

Gráinne, from Ballybofey Co. Donegal, is a trainee Nurse with a special interest in skin health. She commenced her skincare and skin treatment training with Fitzgerald Private Clinic in 2019. She has gone on to train in the Environ and Obagi Medical skincare brands, as well as HydraFacial and Advanced Nutrition Programme. She enjoys performing a variety of skin treatments and continues to update her knowledge and skills. Gráinne’s interest in skin came from her own struggle with acne and not knowing how to treat it. From this, she found her love for skincare and now takes great pleasure in working with other people to treat their skin and improved its health. She also enjoys educating herself on treatments, products, ingredients and their benefits to skin. Gráinne’s favourite treatment to perform is the HydraFacial, specifically the extraction step as she finds it so satisfying seeing the congestion being vacuumed away! Her favourite product is SPF as it’s beneficial for all skins.
