We select treatments that suit the individual according to their needs and desires, their skin type, health, lifestyle, and of course their budget. Although we are proudly situated in Belgravia, we do not charge Belgravia prices!! You should find us competitive in our pricing.
Our regular followers will note the small change in our website. Whilst we offer the same services as before, we have undergone a thorough audit of our procedures and have streamlined our treatment regimen. Some treatments have been replaced by newer, more effective ones. This reflects our current understanding of the underlying problems, our experience and the availability of new technology. (eg mesotherapy for cellulite has been replaced with the Accent device). We never stand still.

Our Ethos
We treat the face and the body as part of the whole person. We cannot achieve the best results without the help of the client and we will provide diet, exercise and lifestyle advice where necessary. Most people seeking cosmetic beauty treatments are already following a healthy lifestyle. We have personally tried all of our treatments, enjoy healthy lifestyles and will share our experiences with you.
Most people ask for a natural look, and this is our preferred option. The most common request is to look fresher, less tired and a bit younger. By combining a few simple techniques we aim to take off many years, make the skin fresher and brighter, make you look good (not just for your age, but GOOD), and make your face prettier, more vibrant.
We also treat skin that has been diseased or damaged by acne, scars, sun or smoking. Removing old scars and skin damage can revitalise not just your skin, it can give a real psychological boost and jump-start the rest of your life.
Health and Beauty
We all feel more comfortable when we are pleased with what we see in the mirror. Beauty can now be quantified. Facial balance and symmetry, brow shape, lip size, volume and curves all partake in the assessment of "beauty".
Perfect, unblemished, skin is a sign of both beauty and health. A smooth, soft, firm, plump, glowing skin with even pigmentation supported by a firm framework of muscles constitutes healthy skin and reflects the condition of the individual inside.
Fast Fixes, Long-Term Treatments
Many beauty techniques are "fast-fixes" - so-called lunch-time treatments that can take years off or enhance features. Frown-freezing, injectable fillers for lines, lips and volume are all offered at the clinic.
Skin-perfecting techniques repair and rejuvenate the skin at all levels, ensuring long-term skin health and beauty. We have techniques for repair and rejuvenation that suit all skin types and personal preferences; light or laser-based treatments, peeling and injections can all help depending on your particular requirements.
Volumising techniques, now understood to be the mainstay of anti-ageing and beauty routines, can be performed as a fast-fix or a longer-term project. A fast-fix can be maintained by longer lasting procedures thus ensuring the best possible results.
Not Just Cosmetic
Our face is our window on the world. Cosmetic medicine is not just cosmetic - it is anti-ageing and preventative. It improves self-esteem and elevates mood. It offers hope, especially in the treatment of scars. It removes unpleasant or unwanted stigmata, such as facial hair or deformity. Cosmetic medicine is also an essential treatment for many psychological disturbances such as low self-esteem and the aftermath of trauma, bereavement, severe illness and emotional trauma.
Our Male Clients
We have been welcoming a regular band of pioneering men for many years. Treatments for the frown area, acne scars,
skin quality and hair removal have topped the list. We girls better watch out - men are catching us up and demanding many of
the same cosmetic treatments as we are.
Why not? There is nothing more attractive than a man who likes to take care of himself.
The demands of the workplace has forced us all to the gym, now we need to look as good as we feel, both men and women alike.
Typical Ages of Clients
Am I too old for treatment? Am I too young for treatment? When should I start muscle relaxants? These are all common questions that we are asked. The answer is, "No, not at all" We are never too young or too old for treatment. Providing that your request is reasonable and that we are not doing you any harm, you may be treated. Many of our treatments are for disease; acne, stretch marks, scars and rosacea, so age does not come into the equation. Of course we can treat you. Younger people choose peeling, acne treatments, treatments for stretch marks, cellulite and weight problems.
Young people are also lucky in that they can now make a choice - whether or not to look their age and whether or not to accept the ageing process. There are treatments that can prevent the appearance of lines, wrinkles, facial sagging and general decline in skin quality. We have many preventative treatments; BTX, restylane Vital, combination vitamin facial and gentle peeling. After all, all lines are premature.
Likewise, we are never too old. We still feel the same person inside, but look a little older on the outside. Older people need volumising treatments such as Voluma and Sculptra, treatments for the frown area and skin revitalisation. Providing that you are in good health and the treatment is suitable, then you can be treated. Our oldest client is 96!
Popular treatments include:
Line smoothing (Juvederm, Teosyal, Restylane) - volumising and collagen-stimulating treatments Sculptra Cosmelan for pigmentation peeling and nano-peeling for skin quality and acne Mycells for natural skin rejuvenation Ultrashape fat reduction Mole Mate mole checks skin tag removal stretch mark treatment mesotherapy vibrotone dermaroller semi-permanent make-up red vein treatment removal of pigmentation.
