Policies
Medical disclaimer.
What the information on this website is — and, just as importantly, what it isn't.
General information, not personal advice
Everything you read on priveskinclinic.com — treatment pages, journal articles, FAQs, pricing notes — is written to give you a general understanding of the procedures we offer. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for a one-to-one consultation with a qualified clinician who has reviewed your individual circumstances.
Outcomes vary from person to person. Reading this site does not create a clinician–patient relationship.
Before any treatment
Every treatment at Prive Skin Clinic begins with a face-to-face consultation. Together we will go through:
- Your relevant medical history, medications and allergies
- What the treatment can realistically achieve, and what it can't
- Possible side effects, downtime and recovery
- Costs, in writing, before you decide to go ahead
You will be asked to sign an informed-consent form for each treatment. Take the time to read it — and ask any questions, no matter how small.
Prescription-only medications
Treatments involving prescription-only medications — including anti-wrinkle injections (botulinum toxin) and weight-loss programmes (Mounjaro®, Wegovy®, Saxenda®) — are prescribed by UK-registered prescribers and dispensed by GPhC-registered pharmacies. Eligibility depends on a satisfactory medical review.
If you experience a problem after treatment
Please get in touch as soon as you can. Most concerns are minor and easily addressed. Call us on the number above for anything that feels urgent — we will usually arrange to see you the same day.
For medical emergencies that are not aesthetic-treatment related, please contact NHS 111, your GP, or call 999.
External links and references
Where we link to external sites (regulators, product manufacturers, scientific publications), we do so for your reference. We are not responsible for the content of those sites.
Regulation
We are committed to operating within the standards set by UK regulators including the JCCP (Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners), the GPhC, the MHRA and the CQC where applicable.
