The Consultant/Doctor/Surgeon is engaged by Cosmedics Skin Clinics so we can provide his or her services to you. The consultant is not employed by the clinic or Cosmedics and is an independent contractor. All Doctors/Surgeons are covered independently with own indemnity policies. The company also has medical indemnity insurance.

Botox Follow Up / Top Up

There is no booking fee for one follow up appointment up to a maximum of 4 weeks after your treatment date.

All Other Treatments Follow-Up

Follow-up appointments are specific to the clients concerns. Where a follow-up is requested, we will ask you to send photos via email in the first instance, to assess the situation. You will receive feedback by email and/or a telephone call. Where the doctor advises an appointment is required, there is a £75 consultation review fee payable, this would then include cryotherapy, steroid injection and one reshave as needed at the follow up appointment. Any other treatment would be chargeable.

If patients have not been seen or been in contact during the 12 months post procedures/treatments then they require a new patient consultation with corresponding fee payable. If during the consultation further treatment is deemed appropriate, then at the doctors discretion any further treatment will be chargeable.

We are committed to providing a professional service to all our clients. We do, however, have a complaints procedure in place and if for some reason you are unhappy with the treatment and feel you want to make a complaint or comment on the service provided please either contact a member of staff at the clinic or call 020 7386 0464 for further details or email info@cosmedics.co.uk.

We will endeavour to deal with any matters arising promptly and efficiently.

There are several reasons that a Doctor/Surgeon may consider that a treatment is not a suitable option for an individual and Cosmedics has a strict patient selection criteria to ensure patients are medically fit to undergo a particular treatment. It is therefore possible that we advise, in your best medical interests, that surgery or treatment is not appropriate. We will also not proceed with a procedure if we feel that your expectations exceed the results achievable from such surgery.

Please note that we do not provide treatments for any teenagers or children under 18 years of age and we will decline treatment even if a parent books an appointment under their name for a child. We recommend you see your GP for any treatment requests for under 18s.

Our aim is to provide a first class service however we cannot guarantee that treatment is possible until the skin lesion mole or cyst or reason for your seeking treatment has been seen by our Doctor/Surgeon; whose individual advice takes precedence over any previous information given.

Only once you have been assessed can we give you a full recommendation on what is your best treatment option. Occasionally that may mean a referral to another specialist whether it by for a different type of laser or for the complexity of the concern.

Moles, cysts, skin tags, warts and other blemishes or lesions

At Cosmedics any mole/skin lesion that is removed is sent for histological analysis or testing to ensure there are no early changes or any abnormalities.

This is routine practice across all medical services for patient safety as recommended by NICE, GMC and Indemnity organisations.

This testing is carried out at another facility that is a specialist additional service. The price of this service is charged at the lowest rate possible, as we simply pass the costs onto our patients. Unless specified otherwise by the Doctor/Surgeon ALL mole or skin lesions that are removed will incur the histology cost as stated on our price list and treatment pages.

The results and a letter are sent to patients via encrypted email about 7-10 days later.
