Suitability and safety
Is it right for me?
Sometimes the honest answer is not yet, and sometimes it is no. This page says who treatments here tend to suit, who should talk first, and what we will not do.
it tends to suit you if
You would like an honest opinion on your skin before you decide anything.
You are nervous about looking done, and would rather do less than too much.
You want the same person at the consultation, the treatment and the follow-up.
You are curious but not in a hurry. Nothing here is sold on the day you first walk in.
talk first if
None of these is a no. Each is a reason for the conversation to happen before the booking rather than after it.
You are pregnant or breastfeeding; some treatments wait, and the consultation says which.
You have an active skin infection, a cold sore, or a flare of a skin condition in the area.
You have had a treatment elsewhere recently, or you are between treatments with another practitioner.
You take medication or have a medical condition that affects your skin, healing or bruising.
You are not sure you want anything at all. That is a good reason to talk, not a reason to stay away.
what we will not do
Five lines that have not changed in more than eleven years of practice.
- No treatment without a consultation first.
- No treatment we would not have ourselves.
- No step you have not asked for, and none taken faster than is safe.
- No treatment on the day you first walk in, for injectable work.
- No injectable treatment under 18, which is the law and not a preference.
- No pressure, no packages pushed, no upsell in the chair.
consent and records
Consent, in writing
Before any treatment you read and sign a consent form specific to what is planned, with time to ask questions. You can withdraw consent at any point, including on the day.
Your records, your data
Your consultation notes and medical history are kept securely and used only to look after you. Nothing is shared and no photograph is published without your separate, written yes.
One standard, every appointment
Your consultation notes and your plan travel with you, so anyone involved in your care is working from the same record rather than from memory. That is the simplest safety measure there is.
The consultation is where suitability is actually decided. Everything above is the honest version of what that conversation covers.
