Botox®
Still the No. 1 best kept anti-ageing secret
The Process
Your visit to The Hadleigh Clinic
- Your initial visit to The Hadleigh Clinic begins with a FREE, no obligation consultation.
- On arrival at the clinic you will be asked to complete a confidential patient registration/medical records form.
- Your free consultation appointment typically lasts for around 30 minutes.
- For injectable and surgical procedures, your consultation and treatment will be carried out by our Specialist Cosmetic Doctor.
- For laser, dermaroller and skin Care, your consultation and treatment will be carried out by one of our Specialist Aesthetic Nurses.
At The Hadleigh Clinic we can assure you that you are in safe hands. You will only be seen by suitably qualified medical professionals with a vast experience in medical aesthetic treatments. We do not believe in sales representatives at any of our clinics.
Your consultation
- Your consultation will begin by listening to and understanding your concerns and requirements and discussing how best we can meet and exceed your expectations.
- We will clearly outline the various treatment options available, together with the benefits and any potential risks of each treatment.
- Any questions you have about the process or treatment will be answered honestly so together we decide on the most appropriate treatment for you.
- Any necessary pre and post treatment care will also be explained in detail.
- There is no obligation to book a treatment with us after your consultation as the consultation is entirely complimentary.
- If however, you do wish to book a treatment this can be done for you after your consultation or at a later date via phone or e-mail.
We appreciate that many of our patients have very busy schedules or travel a significant distance to attend our clinics. It is therefore sometimes possible for certain procedures e.g. Botox® and Filler treatments to be carried out immediately after your consultation. If this is something you may be interested in please discuss this with our staff when booking your initial consultation so we can adjust your appointment time accordingly.
Your Treatment
- Prior to your treatment you will be provided with a detailed consent form which you will be asked to read and sign.
- You will also have the opportunity to ask the doctor any other questions you have regarding the treatment.
- After the treatment, post care products e.g. camouflage make up, may be applied if appropriate, depending on the treatment you have had.
Aftercare Advice for Botox® treatments
- After your treatment we will again go through with you any after care advice in order to maximise your treatment benefits and avoid any undesirable side effects.
- You can resume normal activities, drive yourself home or return to work immediately after the treatment.
- Exercise should be avoided for 4 hours after the treatment, and the area should not be massaged for 24 hours.
- It is safe to fly after the treatment although we generally recommend that you wait 48 hours before flying long haul.
Follow up and future appointments
- You are advised to attend for a review 2-3 weeks after your first treatment. This appointment will be made for you after your treatment.
- Follow ups are generally not required for subsequent treatments.
For procedures which may require repeat treatments throughout the year we are happy to set up a text or e-mail reminder service to let you know when your next treatment is due.
