Questions

The ones that come up on the phone most often. Treatment specific questions live on each treatment page, and there are three on every one of them.

Booking and appointments

Do I need a consultation before I can book a treatment?

For anything injectable, laser based or prescriber led, yes, and it has to be in person. For facials, dermaplaning, massage and most body treatments you can book directly. If you are not sure which category something falls into, the treatment page says so under Typical course.

How far in advance should I book?

About a week for a consultation and two for a Saturday. Late slots on Tuesday to Thursday go first. Cancellations are filled by phone rather than posted anywhere, so ring if you want something soon.

What happens if I am late?

Up to about fifteen minutes and we will usually still treat you, with a shorter appointment. Beyond that it becomes a rebooking, because the room is booked to the person after you. The booking terms set out where the deposit stands in that case.

Can I cancel or move an appointment?

Freely, up to 48 hours before. Inside 48 hours a deposit is retained, and we will waive that for illness and for genuine emergencies without asking you to prove anything. Ring rather than emailing if it is close to the time.

Paying

Do you take a deposit?

Yes, £50 on any treatment over £300 and on any first appointment in a course. It comes off the price on the day. Consultations do not take a deposit.

Can I spread the cost?

Over three months, interest free, on anything above £300, through a regulated third party provider. The details and the required disclosures are on the finance page. We do not run a membership or a monthly plan, and there is nothing to cancel later.

Are your prices really the prices?

Yes. The price list is complete, it includes course prices where a course is the sensible unit, and it is reviewed twice a year with the date of the last review printed on it. There is no membership tier, no joining fee and no price that only exists if you ask.

Do you ever discount?

Course pricing is lower than the same sessions bought individually, and that is on the packages page permanently rather than as an offer. What we do not do is time limited discounting, because a treatment that is worth having next Tuesday is worth having in March.

Treatments and results

How do I know which treatment I need?

Start from the concern rather than the device. If you would rather answer questions than read, the treatment finder shortlists in about a minute and there is no obligation at the end of it.

Will it look obvious?

Not if we have done it properly and not if you have told us that matters, which is a conversation worth having explicitly at the consultation rather than assuming. Undertreating and reviewing at two weeks is the safest route to a result nobody can name.

Why are there no before and after photographs on this website?

Two reasons. Published results are selected results, so they tell you about the best outcome rather than the usual one. And a photograph of somebody else's face predicts almost nothing about yours, because the starting point is what decides the finish. We take clinical photographs for your own record, with separate consent, and we will show you your own.

Why is there no product name on the injectable pages?

Prescription only medicines cannot be advertised to the public in the UK. That covers the products used for wrinkle injections and for weight management, so this site names neither, anywhere. The specific product is discussed in consultation, which is where that conversation belongs. There is a longer piece about the rule in the journal.

Can I have more than one treatment on the same day?

Often, and some combinations work better together than apart. Some cannot be combined at all, and a few need weeks between them in a specific order. That sequencing is one of the more useful things a consultation produces.

The clinic itself

Is there parking?

Not ours, and honestly not really. This is Soho. The visiting page covers the nearest car parks, the congestion charge and the tube stations, and the tube is faster from almost anywhere.

Is the clinic step free?

A lift serves both clinic floors from street level. There is one 90mm threshold at the entrance and the door is 810mm wide. Full detail, including the lift dimensions and the accessible toilet, is on the visiting page and on the accessibility page.

Do you treat men?

About a third of the diary. Same menu, same prices, different questions, which is what the page for that is about.

Where to start

Still nothing that answers it?

Ring during opening hours and a person answers. If they do not know, they will ask somebody who does rather than guessing, which is occasionally why an answer comes back the next morning.
