If you have any queries or questions, please contact us on 0161 974 0212 or email enquiries@skinhd.co.uk and we will be more than happy to help in any way that we can.
Client Details:
- All clients will be asked to provide contact details, including: full name, email address, and phone number, to secure an appointment.
- All clients will be asked to complete a medical history form and to sign a consent form, which is necessary to carry out the consultation and plan for suitable treatments. This can be completed prior to the appointment, as the documents are sent by email, or in clinic before the appointment using one of our iPads. If not completed beforehand, please ensure to arrive early to the appointment to guarantee the information is collected before the appointment start time (usually 5-10 minutes).
- The information provided in your medical history form may be discussed during your appointment to determine suitability for the treatment and to ensure that we understand your expected results. Your practitioner at SkinHD will discuss if the results are achievable and which treatment is required. SkinHD reserves the right to decline any treatment.
- We will send email/SMS appointment confirmation at the time of booking and reminders prior to your appointment. To ensure that these reminders are sent to the correct email address/phone number, we ask that you update your details if changed.
- All information will be treated as confidential and protected in accordance with Data Protection legislation. Client information will not be shared with third parties and you will not receive unsolicited information from us. You may unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time by requesting at enquiries@skinhd.co.uk or following the unsubscribe link on any email correspondence.
- We will take before and after photos at each treatment for insurance purposes; these will not be shared anywhere without your prior permission.
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 are free and normally scheduled in for 20-30 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 or PDO Threads) 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.
