  • "Everyone at the clinic were very friendly and the nurse knowledgeable and professional."

Cons:

Consultation and Treatment Experience

Pros:

  • "The results I’ve had from the laser have been 1000 times better!"

Cons:

  • "I left with a prescription for anti fungal shampoo and was told to use all over my body despite me adding I have never had any issues with my body."
  • "To be charged £165 for the consultation only to be told I would have to go to Glasgow and not to have received a follow-up phone call - I think that is extremely poor service."
  • "I was honestly super disappointed and £150 down with no good advice or products to show for it."

  • "The visit itself was fine but the fact that there were not one but two last minute cancellations is problematic."
