Information

• All patients are required to provide contact details; including full name, date of birth, address, telephone and email in order to secure an appointment.   • All clients will complete a Medical history form and Body dysmorphia screening prior to or at their first appointment, this is necessary to inform the consultation and treatment planning process.   • All information will be treated as confidential and protected in accordance with Data Protection legislation.   • Patient information will not be shared with third parties without written permissions and you will not receive unsolicited information from us.   • You may choose to remove yourself from our mailing list at any time, by unsubscribing.  

New Patient – Telephone/video Consultation

Whilst telephone/video consultations are discouraged, we acknowledge some circumstances when this service may be helpful; particularly for our patients who will be travelling long distance. New patients, seeking advice from a practitioner in a telephone/video discussion, require a diary appointment of 30 minutes. Patients must call the clinic number at the time agreed.

Appointments

• Please provide as much notice as possible, if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, so that we may make best use of our appointment diary.   • When diaries are particularly busy, we may take a 50% treatment value deposit, deductible from total treatment value of on attendance, to mitigate missed appointments.   • If you do not attend a booked appointment, and fail to advise us in advance, a £50 non-refundable booking fee will be charged to make another appointment.   • Please do NOT attend the clinic for an appointment if you are unwell. If you are unsure, please call and discuss. Many treatments are contraindicated if you are unwell; this includes colds, cold sores or local skin infections.   • Routine review appointments are offered after treatment with Botulinum Toxin as a courtesy. If you are unable to attend the review appointment at 2-3 weeks, no additional treatment or ‘top up’ is provided once the review period of 2-3 weeks has passed.   • New patients are seen for consultation and assessment; except in exceptional circumstances, with prior arrangement, treatment is not provided on the first visit.

Payment

• Patients will receive one free of charge consultation; subsequent consultations will be subject to a (£50) fee.   • You will be advised of the full costs of any treatment plan proposed and agreed, including that of any maintenance treatment, before any treatment is undertaken.   • A 50 % deposit is taken at the time of booking and the remainder taken at the time of treatment.   • The clinic accepts cash, or major debit and credit cards and bank transfers.   • A discretionary deposit will be taken for some treatments and in some circumstances  

Refunds 

Fees charged for treatment are for the delivery of a treatment and the accompanying service, which is inclusive of;   • consultation and assessment • provision of information and advice • safe treatment with evidence based products • follow up appointments and aftercare advice and support as appropriate   Whilst we undertake to provide excellent service; factual, honest and ethical advice, safe, expert treatment in experienced hands and only the best products, we cannot guarantee your results and cannot offer refunds if the results achieved fail to meet your expectations.
