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 and will be carried out by our Specialist Cosmetic Doctor.

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 representative 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 consultation or at a later date via phone or e-mail.

Pre Treatment Advice

  • You are advised not to take any anti-inflammatory pain killers (e.g. aspirin and ibuprofen) for 3 days before 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 any other questions you have regarding the treatment.

Post Treatment Advice

  • 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 are advised to walk for 10 minutes after the treatment, after which you can drive yourself home or back to work.
  • Normal exercise can be resumed after 24 hours
