TREATMENTS

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

New and follow up fees are made available on request and prices for any additional procedures will be quoted in full at the time of booking. For self funding patients ( and for excess payments of insured patients) an invoice will be issued by the company MedServ.

Please note that non-attendance or cancellations of appointments within 48 hours of the appointment will attract a penalty fee of at least £100. This will be invoiced in the standard manner and further appointments will NOT be booked until it is paid.

Please make every attempt to top up your prescriptions at booked appointments. Prescriptions between appointments will only be issued if I have reviewed you in the last 6 months. These will generally be issued via the online pharmacy Pharmacierge and will not attract an extra fee. If you require a prescription posted there will be a fee of £25. If you were asked to book a review appointment and have not done so in the timeframe requested, and as a result you require a new prescription, there will be a £25 charge. After 6 months, under all circumstances, you will need to book a review. This can sometimes be virtual depending on individual circumstances. This policy has been put in place due to an increasing volume of prescription requests between appointments.

AVENTUS CLINIC

Aventus clinic is where I plan to indulge my passion for treating acne, acne scarring, rosacea and for Cosmetic Dermatology- the art of making your skin even more beautiful. I will be using the Observ machine to examine your skin in more depth and to devise bespoke treatment and anti- ageing regimes which include topicals, procedures and laser/ light devices. Treatments provided at Aventus Clinic but not at my other sites include upper face wrinkle relaxing injections and treatment of axillary (armpit) sweating with Botulinum toxin, micro-needling and PRP. Devices used include the Nordlys laser/ IPL system for rosacea and pigmentation, Secret Pro by Cutera (radiofrequency microneedling with CO2 resurfacing) for acne scars and skin rejuvenation and the revolutionary Aviclear Laser for active acne. Click here

Stylish Young Woman

Having such cracked, broken and painful skin on my hands for years. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for for showing concern and taking time to listen to me till we found a solution. Daily life is no longer a struggle and I'm not constantly  grimacing every time I use my hands.
