Doctor-led skin clinic · Bristol
A doctor assesses your skin before anything is recommended. Then every treatment tells you its sessions, the gap between them, the days you would not want to be photographed and what it costs — on the page, before you book.
Why we publish it
Almost no clinic will tell you how long you will look like you have had something done. It is the first question anyone asks in the room, and the last thing anyone puts on a website.
We publish it for all twelve treatments: how many sessions a full course takes, how far apart they sit, how many days you would not want to be photographed and the day your skin is your own again. Alongside the price band, so you do not have to book an appointment to find out what something costs.
1 of the twelve have no downtime at all. Several of the rest are not worth starting eight weeks before a wedding, and we would rather say so here than at the consultation you have already paid for.
The thing we are known for
Beside this is a Medium-depth TCA peel, drawn to scale in real days. The solid band is the time you would not want to be photographed. The lighter band is the skin still settling — coverable, but there. After that it is simply your face again.
The bar and the sentence beside it are generated from the same two numbers in the same file, so the picture cannot flatter the text.
A white frost across the treated area, fading to bright red within twenty minutes.
What people come in with
Medical Director and dermatologist
“I spent eleven years in NHS dermatology watching people arrive having spent a great deal of money in places that had never once told them what a treatment would actually do to their face for the following fortnight.”

You can check any doctor's registration yourself on the GMC's public register. We would encourage it — here, and anywhere else you are considering.
About the clinic and the teamWhat actually happened
A photograph taken in different light, at a different angle, six months apart, can be made to say almost anything. So we write the case down instead: the treatment, the number of sessions, how long the course ran, how long since — and what did not change.
Rolling acne scars, left cheek
Medical microneedling
Same camera, same window, same seat, no makeup and no filter on either photograph. Scarring improves with this treatment; it does not disappear.
About one consultation in six ends with us recommending nothing at all.
Sometimes the honest answer is that a treatment will not do what you are hoping, that the timing is wrong, or that what you have is something that should be looked at rather than lasered. We publish who each treatment is not for, in full, before you book.

Forty minutes with a doctor: your skin examined under magnification, your history taken, and a plan with dates and prices written down. If nothing we do is right for you, you will hear that too.
