It was my first ever cosmetic procedure, and he answered all questions and concerns making me feel confident about getting the lip injections
AS says: I was super nervous as this was my first experience with fillers. Dr Rupert put me totally at ease, and I trusted his opinion fully. The injections were pretty painless, and I love the results, which are subtle but do exactly what I wanted them to… making me look refreshed and less tired. Will be back!

Claire says: I was really nervous about getting a small volume lip plump but Dr Rupert put me completely at ease. He understood my concerns and knew exactly what look I was after – natural enhancement. He took his time and explained every step in the process as well as what to expect after. The results were incredible and barely any swelling! He did an amazing job with my Botox too, giving me gorgeously lifted eyebrows with enough movement so that it looks completely natural. I’ll be going back to him for my top ups without hesitation!!
P Mitchell says: The clinic I attend in Putney, is a tidy and well presented place. The receptionist is always polite and friendly and Dr Rupert Critchley is incredibly professional and relaxed. Overall it’s a pleasure to visit.
Sue Day says: Fantastic results
SS says: Dr R. Critchley is an experienced practitioner and is therefore highly recommended. The results were always natural, which is exactly what I wanted. He took his time to ensure the work was done to perfection. I had some issues with the lip fillers and I was booked back in the same day for remedial treatment free of charge. He is also very personable and takes an interest in getting to know his clients’ needs. I found him to be honest and trustworthy. I felt at ease throughout the treatment. I am extremely happy with my results and will be back again for further treatment if and when required.
Sue says: Brilliant just brilliant
Evie says: This was my second experience, and it was amazing! Super friendly and professional. I only had a little discomfort but the aesthetic cream worked wonders 🙂
Sarah c says: highly recommend Dr Rupert, he possesses a natural talent to quickly assess your face and just know what treatment would perfectly enhance you. I was very concerned about staying natural looking and he totally got it and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. He’s caring of his clients and definitely a person I can trust to give me the subtle enhancements I want.
Verena says: Dr.Rupert is very professional and takes his time to explain and suggest a treatment. I am very happy with the treatment he provided and will be back in the future.
Cecil Ip says: I’m very happy with the results of Botox with Dr Rupert. He was attentive and patient during the initial consultation and made me feel at ease. I had two areas of Botox to reduce the wrinkles on my forehead and to lift my eyebrows. Dr Rupert gave me a very natural look- after the effect kicked in (around 10 days), I looked fresh-faced and in my friend’s words, who is a professional make-up artist- “The effect is subtle yet amazing!”. Thanks, Dr Rupert 🙂
rebecca says: Highly recommend!
I Had a non-surgical Rhinoplasty, to have a straighter nose and I am so pleased with the outcome, not only did Doctor Rupert Critchley do such a great job but was so friendly and is so passionate about his work, so you straight away know that your going to get well looked after and get the procedure done correctly and professionally. every step of the procedure Dr Rupert made sure I knew what he was doing, explaining each step and making sure I was truly happy with the outcome. I Can not stress enough on how well I got looked after as well, seeing him for a follow up appointment 2 weeks later free of charge. I am now so much more happier and confident, truly changed my life.
Aba says: So pleased with the entire experience at Viva. I’d highly recommend Dr Rupert to any first timers as he puts you at ease and really knows his stuff!
Terence says: I couldn’t recommend Dr Rupert any higher; he’s knowledgable, professional and very personable.
After the consultation I had the treatment and I’m really pleased with the result. I will definitely be going back.
Elle Ramsay says: Dr. Critchley was brilliant. My procedure was very easy, painless and I knew I was in good hands! What’s better there was no pain or bruising post procedure. I would definitely recommend Dr. Critchley.
Lucy says: I was very pleased with the results of my Botox procedure with Dr Rupert. He explained the procedure well and we discussed the different options and the results I wanted to achieve. I am really happy with the results and would not hesitate to recommend him.
Laura says: I went to the Viva clinic in Putney earlier this week for cheek filler. I’ve never had the high cheekbones I wanted and didn’t think it was possible to create a natural look with filler. I read great reviews about Viva and went along to see what they suggested. I saw Dr. Rupert, who was so helpful and reassuring. He did end up using only a small amount of filler in my cheeks and I am blown away with the results! I look completely natural and have the ‘bone structure’ I’ve always desired. I am recommending him to all my friends because seriously, I’m impressed.
Thanks Viva, I’ll be back!
Ruby Mae Moore says: If anyone else has suffered from excessive sweating, especially from the armpits you will understand exactly how this has transformed my life.
From keeping your arms close to your side, to being selective with what colours and fabrics your clothes are made from, these considerations have been made a thing of the past, all thanks to Botox.
Before getting Botox, I tried everything. Only wearing loose cotton tops/shirts/vests, aluminium antiperspirants that made my underarms raw, herbal remedies such as lemon, I even tried not wearing deodorants/antiperspirants at all. Nothing seemed to work. Botox was my last resort, but I regret not trying this earlier. I wasn’t going to have another summer where my unruly underarms dictate my wardrobe!
I met up with Dr. Rupert from Viva Skin Clinics at one of his practices off Old Street. The price for Botox to combat excess sweating of the armpits was £450. We had the initial consultation, he then cleansed the area and applied numbing cream onto my underarms which I had to wait for 15 minutes for it to kick in, then it was injection time!
I could slightly feel the injections; but the discomfort was definitely manageable. After 15 minutes of him injecting my underarms, it was time for him to finish off by removing the excess cream. I was free to go! Dr. Rupert was friendly, knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable.
I was asked to come back in two weeks for a follow up session to see how my excess sweating was getting on. On my return, I informed him, my left arm still seemed to be getting wet. He had no problem adding some more Botox into my left underarm (at no extra cost) and after two weeks my underarms are now, completely dry, even when I have done an intense session at the gym… Yay!
It is a shame that Botox isn’t more permanent. Botox is meant to last six months, so hopefully it lasts for then.
I can now wear any fabric or colour top, I have the freedom to wave and raise my arms, I am not uncomfortable anymore from having wet underarms permanently, and I don’t ruin my tops/jackets anymore!
Winning! Definitely worth it!
Patrickg says: Dr. Rupert is truly wonderful, very knowledgeable and puts you at ease instantly. I couldn’t recommend him enough. To have something that really bothers you fixed in a matter of minutes with absolutely no sign of bruising or anything is just amazing! I could have returned back to the office 10 minutes after and no one would know! Thank you very much.
Carrie says: Everything was easy and smooth with the procedure – from booking the appointment to the aftercare. Happy to recommend
lydia cheshire says: I am thrilled with the results from my first visit to Dr Rupert, I felt comfortable and very safe in his hands.
He listens and then gives his professional opinion and is truly great at his job.
I can’t wait to go back for some more little tweaks as and when needed !
I thoroughly recommend this clinic and Dr Rupert is a star !! Ps : My daughter i travelled from Devon to London to see him and it was worth every mile
Sue Day says: Rupert Critchley is fantastic and the Botox he provides is perfect and I’m fussy! I wouldn’t use anyone else!
Primrose Bigwood says: Wonderful experience, amazing results, couldn’t have felt more at ease and over the moon afterwards!
Shell says: I went to my Rupert for my first Botox experience after a large amount of research into numerous practitioners. I am so pleased that I went to Rupert.
I am writing this review some months after my first session as I wanted to ensure the fruits of Ruperts work were clear before I left a review – I can confirm that his work is first class.
The treatment lasted for months. The full process was exactly as he described and I was fully confident that all was well.
Rupert had a long discussion with me before the treatment and after firing dozens of question at him, I was even more sure that he is the right choice. He gave me a full explanation so I knew exactly what to expect and the timeframes. I felt I was in safe hands and i knew that if I was worried he would address any concerns.
I will be returning continuously for top ups! No pain whatsoever either.
First class.
Becky says: I had a great experience with Dr Rupert Critchley. My first time having Botox and the results were amazing. I wanted it to be subtle and look natural and it did. Dr Rupert Critchley was extremely friendly and helpful and totally put me at ease about having Botox for the first time. Very happy, thank you!
Eleanor says: Delighted and would recommend Dr Critchley
Christina haynes says: I have been to many places before and now since I have been to doctor Rupert for treatments l will never go anywhere else he does exactly what I ask for and I am always so delighted with the results, I had a non surgical nose job done by him and the change was amazing! I have since returned for my lips and again I walked out so happy! He really knows his stuff and makes you feel comfortable and in safe hands will be returning soon for more treatments!
Patrick Cardoso says: I’ve been going to Viva Skin Clinics for Botox treatment and I’ve been always pleased with the care I’ve received.
Natasha Francis says: I have had the best experience from any doctor I have been to for such treatments. I have bells palsy, and as you can imagine getting botox was a huge decision. Dr Rupert put me at east through the whole procedure. Made me feel comfortable, and not only that very professional and friendly. I would recommend him to anyone.
Cat says: Dr Rupert is an extremely professional, caring and skilled practitioner – I truly could not have asked for a better experience! I was so impressed by the level of care and follow up, and the results were also exactly what I was hoping for.
I would highly recommend him and Viva Skin Clinics to anyone thinking of getting a procedure.
LJ says: I was recommended Dr Critchley by a friend and promptly made an appointment for a consultation. He’s exactly the sort of doctor you’d hope to see while considering cosmetic treatments – he listens, is honest, friendly and shares the belief that less is more. Dr Critchley ensured I was completely confident in my decision and that all my questions had been answered before my procedure. The treatment itself was a fast, painless process that with great results. This was my first cosmetic procedure, but I will definitely be going back.
Susan says: 
Parasto Soltani says: I’ve been having Botox and fillers for years by various doctors. The treatment results from Dr Critchley has by far been the best and natural so far. He is very professional and gentle and I have never had such a pain free experience. He is very thorough, skilful and listens to what you want to achieve with the treatment and delivers it exactly. I would highly recommend him to any friends and family.
Cristine says: After some very disappointing procedures in a central London clinic, I heard about Dr. Rupert and after reading all the enthusiastic reviews about him, I finally booked an appointment with him at Vivaskin clinic. The clinic itself is nice and clean and the staff are professional and friendly, so the first impressions were good. But what really impressed me to my core was how friendly and incredibly talented Dr. Rupert is!! I have had this procedure done for the past 4 years and always been rather happy with the results (except for the extremely disappointing outcome from the above mentioned central London aesthetic clinic) but never I had results even comparable to what Dr. Rupert achieved!! I am never going anywhere else, I feel so happy that I found out about Dr. Rupert! He is amazing and I never looked better! He is the king of beautifully done botox!!
Daniel says: Dr Ruper is friendly, honest, professional and provides great results! highly recommended.
Polly T says: I am a first timer and so was nervous of treatment but Dr Critchley put me at ease right away and the results are fantastic! I like the personal feel of a sole practitioner rather than a big cosmetic company too. Keep doing what you are doing!
Emily Georgiadis says: I attended Dr Rupert’s offices after paying a fortune for botox in the past and not being very happy with the results. Dr Rupert is very experienced, professional and takes time to chat with his clients to understand their needs. I was quite specific in my discussions with Dr Rupert. I wanted to avoid a high arch and the tell-tale ‘frozen’ botox expression. However, I also wanted to see results, specifically the fine lines around my eyes and the start of crows feet. It’s very difficult to achieve results with botox without the patient looking frozen or surprised. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. I have a very expressive face and Dr Rupert has successfully struck a balance between retaining the expression but dealing with the lines, which is exactly what I wanted. Recently friends have commented on how good my skin looks or how fresh I look, which is exactly what you want to hear after botox. One final comment I would like to make is that Dr Rupert took the time to ensure that I was happy with the results in a free follow up appointment. I was very happy with this. Excellent bedside manner and fabulous experience all round. I’m already booked in for my next appointment. I’m really happy to have found a reliable and trusted practitioner. The price was very affordable too!
CSCH says: Found Rupert’s manner to be so kind and warm and professional. Felt completely at ease during treatment and follow up. Recommended!
Sue Day says: Fantastic service with fantastic results – Dr Rupert Critchley is excellent!
Naailah says: Dr Rupert Critchley is very friendly and professional. Can’t wait for my next treatment
Laura says: This was my first time having Botox injections – Dr Rupert answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable and confident that he would do exactly what I needed – not too much and not too little. I am extremely happy with the results.
SMary says: On my initial visit I was quite nervous as I had never had any injectables done before. However, I needn’t have been nervous. Dr Rupert was not only very professional but very friendly, understanding and more than willing to listen to every concern or worry I had. He explained everything in great detail and when it came down to it did a fantastic job with my lips. I have since been back to see him for forehead injectables and have been just as pleased with the friendly service and great results.
Sharon Newman says: Dr Critchley is excellent. I wish I had found him sooner after having a bad experience with Botox and fillers at a top London clinic. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now, the results from Dr Critchley are fabulous!
Julie Kennedy says: Rupert is brilliant at what he does!
I’m always so happy with my results and he is very gentle which helps 🙂
I would highly recommend him!
Thank you so much Rupert.

I was recommended my a friend. I’ve had procedures before but I’ve never been as satisfied with the results as I have been Rupert.
The aftercare as well was outstanding too!
Thank you Dr Critchley
Kenneth Lillie says: Fantastic experience. Rupert is excellent. Strongly recommend!
S Thomas says: Have had Botox twice now with Dr Critchley., to eradicate my “Winston Churchill” frown. I was a nervous first time patient with a zillion questions, which Dr Critchley answered knowledgeably and patiently, setting my mind at ease. I very much wanted a natural look, not overdone , Dr Critchley listened to my concerns and erred on the side of caution (at my request), the results were an improved natural look. I did go back for a slight top up two weeks later, but that is as I would want it, rather top up if need be, than over do it. Top up was quick and fuss- free and the results spot on.
Antonia says: Rupert is extremely friendly and professional. I feel at ease with him and always love my results!
Lauren says: Rupert is a perfectionist! He is very approachable and wants to ensure that his clients leave happy and results are natural. Highly recommend Rupert to those considering such treatments.

Laura says: Rupert is very skilled at what he does and made me feel very comfortable. I have been back several times because I trust he will give me the results I want and that they will last. I have taken several of my friends to Viva and they have all been really happy!
rachel sykes says: very professional and informative. The treatment was not painful and i was exceptionally pleased with my results.

My experience couldn’t have gone better! I’m so happy with my results thanks to Dr. Rupert! I believe he has mastered his craft and I will definitely be returning for future appointments.

I was super nervous as this was my first experience with fillers. Dr Rupert put me totally at ease, and I trusted his opinion fully.

Brilliant just brilliant
This was my second experience, and it was amazing! Super friendly and professional. I only had a little discomfort but the aesthetic cream worked wonders 🙂
highly recommend Dr Rupert, he possesses a natural talent to quickly assess your face and just know what treatment would perfectly enhance you. I was very concerned about staying natural looking and he totally got it and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. He’s caring of his clients and definitely a person I can trust to give me the subtle enhancements I want.
Dr.Rupert is very professional and takes his time to explain and suggest a treatment. I am very happy with the treatment he provided and will be back in the future.
I’m very happy with the results of Botox with Dr Rupert. He was attentive and patient during the initial consultation and made me feel at ease. I had two areas of Botox to reduce the wrinkles on my forehead and to lift my eyebrows. Dr Rupert gave me a very natural look- after the effect kicked in (around 10 days), I looked fresh-faced and in my friend’s words, who is a professional make-up artist- “The effect is subtle yet amazing!”. Thanks, Dr Rupert 🙂
Highly recommend!

I went to the Viva clinic in Putney earlier this week for cheek filler. I’ve never had the high cheekbones I wanted and didn’t think it was possible to create a natural look with filler. I read great reviews about Viva and went along to see what they suggested. I saw Dr. Rupert, who was so helpful and reassuring. He did end up using only a small amount of filler in my cheeks and I am blown away with the results! I look completely natural and have the ‘bone structure’ I’ve always desired.

I have been to many places before and now since I have been to doctor Rupert for treatments l will never go anywhere else he does exactly what I ask for and I am always so delighted with the results, I had a non surgical nose job done by him and the change was amazing! I have since returned for my lips and again I walked out so happy! He really knows his stuff and makes you feel comfortable and in safe hands will be returning soon for more treatments!
I’ve been going to Viva Skin Clinics for Botox treatment and I’ve been always pleased with the care I’ve received.
I have had the best experience from any doctor I have been to for such treatments. I have bells palsy, and as you can imagine getting botox was a huge decision. Dr Rupert put me at east through the whole procedure. Made me feel comfortable, and not only that very professional and friendly. I would recommend him to anyone.
Dr Rupert is an extremely professional, caring and skilled practitioner – I truly could not have asked for a better experience! I was so impressed by the level of care and follow up, and the results were also exactly what I was hoping for.
I would highly recommend him and Viva Skin Clinics to anyone thinking of getting a procedure.
I was recommended Dr Critchley by a friend and promptly made an appointment for a consultation. He’s exactly the sort of doctor you’d hope to see while considering cosmetic treatments – he listens, is honest, friendly and shares the belief that less is more. Dr Critchley ensured I was completely confident in my decision and that all my questions had been answered before my procedure. The treatment itself was a fast, painless process that with great results. This was my first cosmetic procedure, but I will definitely be going back.
I’ve been having Botox and fillers for years by various doctors. The treatment results from Dr Critchley has by far been the best and natural so far. He is very professional and gentle and I have never had such a pain free experience. He is very thorough, skilful and listens to what you want to achieve with the treatment and delivers it exactly. I would highly recommend him to any friends and family.
After some very disappointing procedures in a central London clinic, I heard about Dr. Rupert and after reading all the enthusiastic reviews about him, I finally booked an appointment with him at Vivaskin clinic. The clinic itself is nice and clean and the staff are professional and friendly, so the first impressions were good. But what really impressed me to my core was how friendly and incredibly talented Dr. Rupert is!! I have had this procedure done for the past 4 years and always been rather happy with the results (except for the extremely disappointing outcome from the above mentioned central London aesthetic clinic) but never I had results even comparable to what Dr. Rupert achieved!! I am never going anywhere else, I feel so happy that I found out about Dr. Rupert! He is amazing and I never looked better! He is the king of beautifully done botox!!
Dr Ruper is friendly, honest, professional and provides great results! highly recommended.
I am a first timer and so was nervous of treatment but Dr Critchley put me at ease right away and the results are fantastic! I like the personal feel of a sole practitioner rather than a big cosmetic company too. Keep doing what you are doing!
I attended Dr Rupert’s offices after paying a fortune for botox in the past and not being very happy with the results. Dr Rupert is very experienced, professional and takes time to chat with his clients to understand their needs. I was quite specific in my discussions with Dr Rupert. I wanted to avoid a high arch and the tell-tale ‘frozen’ botox expression. However, I also wanted to see results, specifically the fine lines around my eyes and the start of crows feet. It’s very difficult to achieve results with botox without the patient looking frozen or surprised. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. I have a very expressive face and Dr Rupert has successfully struck a balance between retaining the expression but dealing with the lines, which is exactly what I wanted. Recently friends have commented on how good my skin looks or how fresh I look, which is exactly what you want to hear after botox. One final comment I would like to make is that Dr Rupert took the time to ensure that I was happy with the results in a free follow up appointment. I was very happy with this. Excellent bedside manner and fabulous experience all round. I’m already booked in for my next appointment. I’m really happy to have found a reliable and trusted practitioner. The price was very affordable too!
Found Rupert’s manner to be so kind and warm and professional. Felt completely at ease during treatment and follow up. Recommended!
Fantastic service with fantastic results – Dr Rupert Critchley is excellent!
Dr Rupert Critchley is very friendly and professional. Can’t wait for my next treatment
This was my first time having Botox injections – Dr Rupert answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable and confident that he would do exactly what I needed – not too much and not too little. I am extremely happy with the results.
On my initial visit I was quite nervous as I had never had any injectables done before. However, I needn’t have been nervous. Dr Rupert was not only very professional but very friendly, understanding and more than willing to listen to every concern or worry I had. He explained everything in great detail and when it came down to it did a fantastic job with my lips. I have since been back to see him for forehead injectables and have been just as pleased with the friendly service and great results.
Dr Critchley is excellent. I wish I had found him sooner after having a bad experience with Botox and fillers at a top London clinic. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now, the results from Dr Critchley are fabulous!
Rupert is brilliant at what he does!
I’m always so happy with my results and he is very gentle which helps 🙂
I would highly recommend him!
Thank you so much Rupert.
After wanting my lips done for such a long time but being scared i would look like a ‘ duck’ i can’t express enough how happy i am with my natural looking lips! Dr Rupert listened to what i wanted to achieve 100% !
This is a gem of a clinic! Literally could not recommend Dr Rupert enough!
I was so happy with my lips. I have been to many clinics and doctors, I would now never go anywhere else.
Dr Critchley was extremely professional, skilled and made me feel reassured and safe!
Professional environment whilst still being friendly and making me feel very comfortable!
Treatment results were fantastic- exactly what I wanted.
Rupert is friendly and efficient. I had to go back for a free of charge top up but rather too little the first time than too much.
No one knew i had the botox done though a number of people did nention my looming refreshed
Dr Rupert Critchley is an outstanding professional in cosmetic treatments, his caring and comforting personality combined with his amazing techniques and results makes me an extremely happy customer. I would highly recommend him to friends and friends.
Rupert was great, very reassuring and professional. The results were great and I would definitely reccommend viva. Thanks Rupert!
Very happy
Dr Crtchley is not only a true craftsman in the area of facial aesthetics he’s also a genuinely nice guy who goes the extra mile to make his patients happy.
I was recommended my a friend. I’ve had procedures before but I’ve never been as satisfied with the results as I have been Rupert.
The aftercare as well was outstanding too!
Thank you Dr Critchley
Fantastic experience. Rupert is excellent. Strongly recommend!
Have had Botox twice now with Dr Critchley., to eradicate my “Winston Churchill” frown. I was a nervous first time patient with a zillion questions, which Dr Critchley answered knowledgeably and patiently, setting my mind at ease. I very much wanted a natural look, not overdone , Dr Critchley listened to my concerns and erred on the side of caution (at my request), the results were an improved natural look. I did go back for a slight top up two weeks later, but that is as I would want it, rather top up if need be, than over do it. Top up was quick and fuss- free and the results spot on.
Rupert is extremely friendly and professional. I feel at ease with him and always love my results!
Rupert is a perfectionist! He is very approachable and wants to ensure that his clients leave happy and results are natural. Highly recommend Rupert to those considering such treatments.
Couldn’t be any happier with my treatment from Dr Critchley! He’s amazing!
Fabulous. Very happy with the results and Rupert is just brilliant.
Dr Critchley made me feel completely at ease during the procedure and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering a treatment for the first time.
A very attentive practitioner!
Rupert is very skilled at what he does and made me feel very comfortable. I have been back several times because I trust he will give me the results I want and that they will last. I have taken several of my friends to Viva and they have all been really happy!
very professional and informative. The treatment was not painful and i was exceptionally pleased with my results.
