№ 11Our numbers
What we counted lastyear
Every consultation, treatment and complication in 2025, counted in January. Demonstration figures for this example site, but the kind a doctor-led clinic should be able to show you.

Every consultation records what was asked for and what was advised. Every treatment records the product, dose and area; every review records satisfaction on a five-point scale and any complication. Counted by Charlotte in January, checked by Dr Vance, and the figures on this page are the whole year, not a good month. These are demonstration figures for this example site.

Nothing is injected at a first appointment, for anyone. If the doctor advises no treatment, you have still had the imaging, the routine and the honest answer.
The review policy
Every injectable treatment includes a review at two weeks with photographs compared to your consultation images. Anti-wrinkle injections are topped up at the review if the result is short or uneven, at no charge. Hyaluronic acid filler is adjusted or dissolved at no charge if we agree the result is not right. Courses are reviewed at three months with imaging. If the doctor advises at consultation that a treatment is not right for you, any deposit is refunded in full.
