I visited for the first time recently and was so impressed by Charlene’s care and professionalism, all in a really lovely, calming setting. I had a wonderful facial and my skin felt great afterwards.

I have just had my lips done for the first time and I’m so so happy! Charlene was fantastic and made me feel so comfortable. After care information was described so well and is really easy to understand. I have also had a facial done here before and will be coming back again!!!

Our signature microneedling facial uses ultra-fine needles to stimulate collagen production while infusing clinical-grade serums rich in hyaluronic acid, peptides, and growth factors.
The treatment supports skin renewal, improves texture and tone, and strengthens the skin over time, leaving it hydrated, smoother, and firmer.

A consultation is required prior to any treatment involving the use of botulinum toxin. This brief consultation will be at our clinic with our prescriber. At this consultation, the prescriber will issue the prescription and we will be able to then book your chosen treatment for a future date. Consultation fee of £36.00 required in full before day of consultation.
This injectable treatment uses a prescription medicine called botulinum toxin to temporarily relax muscles, smooth lines and wrinkles, improve imbalances, and prevent the skin from creasing over time. It can also be used to relieve headaches and teeth grinding, slim the face, reduce sagging, and reduce underarm sweating. Results typically last around 3 - 6 months. Lip Flip lasts slightly less time about 2 months.
Treatments available to book after consultation include:
• One area £160.00 Includes any ONE of the following:
• Two areas £180.00
• Three areas £230.00
• Four areas £240.00
• Jawline Slimming / Teeth Grinding £200.00 The masseter muscle, located on the side of the face, helps you to chew. When it becomes enlarged, often due to teeth grinding or clenching, it can significantly alter the shape of the lower face. Injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter muscle can alleviate teeth clenching or grinding, slim the face, and even provide relief from tension headaches. By relaxing the muscle, it shrinks, transforming a square jawline into a more V-shaped appearance.
• Reduce Underarm Sweating £260.00 Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. Injecting botulinum toxin into the armpits can reduce the symptoms of underarm sweating. It works by temporarily stopping the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, these injections can reduce underarm sweating by 82–87%. The effects can typically last 4–12 months, even up to 14 months in some cases. No downtime required. You tend to see results 2–4 days after treatment. The full effects are usually noticeable within 2 weeks.
• Neck & Jowl “Nefertiti Lift” £260.00 Improve the appearance of the neck, jaw, and lower face with a procedure known as a “Nefertiti Lift”. As we age, the platysma muscle, which runs from the chin to the chest, pulls down contributing to jowls, neck sagging, and a less defined jawline. By gently relaxing this area with botulinum toxin, the upward-pulling muscles can work unopposed, which creates a more lifted and contoured appearance. It’s a good option for people who have moderate skin sagging and mild neckbands and jowling. The first signs of results are visible after 3–5 days, but the full results take 10–14 days to appear. The results typically last around 6 months.
Botulinum toxin is not suitable for those that:
