Appointments and Treatments:
- All new clients are required to attend a consultation appointment to discuss what treatment is required and if it is suitable before any treatment is carried out. We offer free online video consultations via WhatsApp or Zoom. In person Consultation appointments require a £30 deposit and normally scheduled in for 15-30 minutes. Most treatments are available to be carried out on the same day as the consultation.
- Please note that some treatments that require prescription or specialised order (e.g. Wrinkle Relaxing Injections/Botox®) will not be able to be carried out the same day, as the products need to be ordered in advance of the treatment.
- Any treatment that is agreed in the consultation is not binding – the follow up treatment appointment can be cancelled at your own discretion.
- The process of each treatment will be explained thoroughly, including any contraindications or possible side effects. We encourage our clients to ask any questions they may have before the treatment is carried out. You can find the answers to the most commonly asked questions on our FAQ page.
- If any treatment is deemed unsuitable, your practitioner will discuss the reasons why and offer alternatives where appropriate.
- Please arrive for your appointment 10 minutes in advance. This is to ensure any relevant paperwork is completed.
- We aim to accommodate late arrivals, but this may result in reduced treatment time, or we may have to reschedule your appointment. If you are going to be late to your appointment, we ask that you let us know as soon as possible.
- Follow up review appointments are required 2-4 weeks after the treatment to ensure that the results of the treatment are as expected. Free subsequent top-ups of Wrinkle Relaxing Injections are only valid during initial treatment or follow up appointments. Extra product is administered subject to clinical requirement, at the discretion of your practitioner at SkinHD.
- Our treatments are only available to clients over the age of 18 years old.

- The practice of facial aesthetics and medicine is not an exact science and therefore no guarantee can be given as to the results of the treatment referred to in this document or that you will not experience any side effects. The goal of treatments is improvement, not perfection, and there is no guarantee that the anticipated results will be achieved. We endeavour to manage your expectations of anticipated results in your consultation appointment.
- Top up appointments of wrinkle relaxing injections can be offered at a review appointment are complimentary if undertaken within 2-4 weeks of the initial appointment. Top-ups are provided at the practitioner’s discretion. There is no top-up of dermal fillers or other services, and any further treatment will need to be paid for.
- If for any reason you are not satisfied with the results of the treatment, we ask that any concerns are brought the attention of the practitioner, either in the appointment or in the following weeks after the treatment(s). This can be done in person at the SkinHD clinic, by phone or by email. We may request photographic evidence and will invite you in for a review appointment to discuss your concerns. Any adverse issues relating to any treatments need to be brought to our attention with 6 months of the initial treatment. Timeframes for expected results will be given in the consultation appointments.
- This policy is since we may not be able to verify subsequent facial aesthetics history of the patient and our medical team have determined that six months is a reasonable timescale to have any issues highlighted to us.
- We are not obliged to correct the work of non-SkinHD clinic practitioners.
