All patients are required to provide contact details; including address, telephone and email in order to secure an appointment.

All clients will complete a Medical history form at their first appointment, this is necessary to inform the consultation and treatment planning process.

Photographs will be taken before and after any procedures.

Whilst telephone and Skype consultations are discouraged, I acknowledge some circumstances when this service may be helpful; particularly for my patients who will be travelling long distance.

New patients, seeking advice from me, Dr Elena Karnovitch, in a telephone discussion, require a diary appointment of 60 minutes. Patients must call the clinic at the time agreed. All consultations are charged £100 payable in advance.

Please provide as much notice as possible, if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, so that I may make best use of our appointment diary.

When diaries are particularly busy, we may take a nominal deposit, of (£80) refundable on attendance, to mitigate missed appointments.

If you do not attend a booked appointment, and fail to advise us 48 hours in advance, a £80 non-refundable booking fee will be charged to make another appointment.

Please do NOT attend the clinic for an appointment if you are unwell. If you are unsure, please call and discuss. Many treatments are contraindicated if you are unwell; this includes colds, cold sores or local skin infections.

Routine review appointments are offered after treatment with Botulinum Toxin as a courtesy. If you are unable to attend the review appointment at 2-3 weeks, no additional treatment or 'top up' is provided once the review period of 3 weeks has passed.

New patients are seen for consultation and assessment; except in exceptional circumstances, with prior arrangement, treatment is not usually provided on the first visit.

Please do not bring children to the clinic unless they are old enough to be left unsupervised.
Children will not be allowed to accompany you into the treatment room.
