The term ‘client’ will refer to patients of the Skin NV clinic.

Treatment Suitability

All clients will have a Consultation prior to any treatment being offered. We welcome a cooling-off period for our clients post consultation and prior to treatment being conducted. During the Consultation we will assess whether the requested and/or recommended treatments are suitable for you/ and their likelihood of success.

Should we feel the treatments may not be suited at the time we will inform you as to the reasons why. Please note that if we feel the treatment is not appropriate, we have the right to decline to treat. Should we believe that alternative/specialist treatment is better suited to your concern, a referral to an appropriate professional may be offered

Treatment Expectations

Please note that no guarantee can be given as to the precise results of any treatment undertaken. We make every effort to ensure you have the best possible outcome, however as it applies to all medical procedures, can be a spectrum of results. Results vary from individual to individual whilst also depending on numerous factors, many of which cannot always be predicted.

At Skin NV, we endeavour to use what is considered best practice and up-to-date techniques/approaches to help achieve a satisfactory outcome, but please note that there can be no guarantees as to the final outcome. Please be aware that your expectations and the predicted realistic outcome may be different.

Anonymised images will have identifiable features blocked out, such that the treated area is clearly visible.

Clinic Appointments & Cancellations

Initial in-clinic and online consultations are made at your request and require a £50 consultation deposit fee to be paid upon booking in order to secure your appointment. 

For regular treatments, numerous consultations will not required, however should a new treatment option be suggested, you may be advised to arrange a consultation specifically for this treatment. You may be required to pay the consultation fee and are advised to discuss this with your practitioner.

Cancellations made 48 working hours  or more (Mon-Friday 9am-5pm) prior to your appointment are free of charge; and we will try to reassign your booking time for another patient.

However, missed appointments, arriving late, amendments, rescheduling or cancellations made less than 24 working hours will incur a £50 fixed fee.  Please note that this fee is payable before attendance or booking of future appointments. We have the right to decline further appointments if deemed appropriate. To minimise/avoid such situations, we will send reminder notices via email or WhatsApp. 

Due to unforeseen circumstances your appointment may occasionally run late and we ask you to please note that as this is a medical practice we cannot always honour agreed times, however we shall do our best to alert you of this should there be a significant delay.

Consultations

All in-clinic  and online consultations incur a fee of £50. All online consultations will be managed confidentially as the client’s record.

Bookings for Treatments and Treatment Courses

All your treatments purchased as a course of treatments must be paid in full prior to your first treatment. For those paying via finance payment plans will receive treatment when they have been approved to proceed. All treatments must be performed within the first twelve months of the date of the booking. Any treatments not conducted by the 12th month of the initial booking date will be forfeited. As a doctor-led clinic, treatment courses require prescription orders per patient which are placed upon confirmation of appointment bookings. If a course of treatment is cancelled or declined following the placement prescription order, we have the right to retain 20%  of treatment course fee to cover the financial loss of the prescription products ordered. However, should you not be able to complete your course due to unforeseen medical reasons (formally documented by your specialist doctor or GP), we will review the case.

Costs

Please note listed prices on printed and online materials are intended as a guide and should be confirmed at the time of the consultation itself. At the time of booking treatment, you will be provided with a treatment invoice, of which a client-signed copy will be retained by Skin NV Ltd.

Filler Injections

Please note any purchased filler treatment products must be used at the time of the treatment only and for the consulted client (for hygiene and safety purposes). Any additional injections/ top-ups thereafter will incur a new syringe fee.

All previous treatments should be discussed during the initial Consultation, therefore it is advised to bring this information with you to this appointment. Any information not provided during the Consult or on the consent paperwork relating to previous fillers injected will be held at the risk of the client, should any complications occur relating to filler interaction in the future.

Botulinum Toxin Injection Top-up Reviews

After your initial treatment, we encourage all our clients to attend a complimentary visit at around 2 weeks time post-initial treatment. Any additional units injected may be subject to further charges, which shall be discussed during the review appointment.

Should you not book your review at 2 weeks or fail to attend it, an £80 review fee will be incurred if the review is held within the first 4 weeks. This fee will not include any additional units. No further units will be administered after this 4-week period as botulinum toxin may reduce efficacy in certain treated areas, and you will require another treatment session.

Medical Peels

The client is obliged to inform us of any previous treatments. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the client to adhere to recommended precautions prior to and following treatments. Skin NV Ltd does not accept liability for any complications as a result of inaccurate medical history, incomplete disclosures, or failure to adhere to required precautions or follow ups.

Should a complication be more serious, and you wish to treat it yourself through the NHS or privately, please inform us of your decision. Should we also feel that you may need to be seen by the NHS we may be able to support with recommendations and arrangements within the NHS, or if you wish privately then this shall be at your own cost.
