I started my aesthetics career at the end of 2017 and left my NHS job as a community nurse in September 2018 to open Alvarez Aesthetics. I love to treat skin and tackle those signs of aging, I have helped my patients regain their self-confidence in the way they see themselves.

I’m a true believer in the phrase “look good feel good! Feel good look good!”.

Good feelings are infectious and empowering! Everyone should have the opportunity to feel good.

Cat is the most loveliest person and she makes you feel so welcome.
I can’t recommend her enough, her knowledge about all her treatments is out of this world. She really takes her time to explain every part of the treatment to you. I felt so relaxed and calm while there. Her treatment room is so comfortable too!
I have been blown away with every treatment I’ve had done by cat.
I 1000% recommend her. You’ll not be disappointed!!

Visited Cat again today, this time for PRP facial aka “vampire facial”. It isn’t half as scary as it sounds, infact it was very relaxing and nothing more than a minor scratching sensation and tingling. I left with baby soft skin and a very healthy glow, minimal redness and lots of information on what to do in the next couple of days. As always Cat provides lots and lots of before treatment information and after care treatment. There is nothing she doesn’t know when it comes to skin. I was a little nervous about having my blood taken due to a bad experience many years ago but Cat really relaxed me and put me at ease and before I knew it she had taken the blood and I didn’t feel a thing. Very quick and painless. She is the very best at what she does and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. No matter what treatment you are interested in I would 1000% recommend Cat

I am absolutely satisfied with my treatment, I came to Alvarez aesthetic with the prospect of removing a spot on my nose, but the process covered my entire face, at the moment my spot has been eliminated by more than 90%, Caterina is the best aesthetic advisor Not only is it removing blemishes from the skin on my face, it also taught me a daily care routine that has made my face look bright, fresh and young! I recommend this place attended by very professional staff.

Can’t recommend enough, I have gone to other practitioners previously who completely ruined my face and Caterina has always been there to fix it. Felt so comfortable during the procedure and at ease that if any issues were to occur they’d be sorted straight away and that i would be kept in regular contact with. Can always rely on an honest opinion and to get desired results . Amazing!

For Christmas this year my partner treat me to the full Obagi Nuderm kit. Whilst I was thrilled with this amazing gift I felt I wasn’t able to commit to the full program at the moment so I got intouch with Cat who invited me straight in to clinic. Cat spent time creating a package for me that would fit in with my busy lifestyle, that was manageable and educated me thoroughly on what each product was for and what each product would do. Cat explained in detail the reasons why my skin was doing the things it was doing and how the products would help. One thing I absolutely love about visiting Cat is that I always leave feeling like I have learnt something and never feel I have been sold something I don’t need! She is much more likely to tell you what you don’t need. She truly cares about making you feel better in your own skin and what she does it clearly more than a job to her. Whilst visiting I also received a blue radiance peel and wow! My skin after one peel has never felt better. Immediately my redness was reduced, my skin looked fresher and I was glowing. I have received 3 comments regarding my skin already and over the next few days it will only get better. I would recommend Cat over and over again! No matter what treatment you are looking for you are in safe and knowledgable hands.

Cat is awesome, having given me botox and an Obagi Peel (separate aptts obvs) I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
She made me feel super comfortable throughout both treatments with great aftercare advise on both, and also a skin care regime to keep my normally dry, tired skin looking great. Also, the glow after my peel was INSANE, have had so many people telling me I look so fresh and dewy and I’ve never had that look to my skin, and I now feel super confident with my new glowy, smooth, fresh skin.

I have seen Catarina over the past 18 months for a number of treatments including Botox, fillers, fat dissolving and facials. I have complete trust in Cat as a practitioner and her expertise and knowledge are apparent from consultation to treatment to aftercare. She is precise, a perfectionist and genuinely wants to see that you get the results that you want and that will compliment and enhance your features. I have always walked away feeling a million dollars and 100% happy with whatever I’ve had done. A few of my friends now also use Cat because they’ve noticed her work on me and loved it. She’s the very best of the best!!!

Safe to say I’ve been seeing her every theee months since and have even discussed other aesthetic options I may pursue.
Everything Cat does is so natural and subtle, her knowledge is astounding, she makes you feel super comfortable and she’s just an all round lovely person.
Thank you Cat for giving me the confidence boost I didn’t realise I needed – five stars doesn’t seem enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was recommended to Cat over a year ago and would never go to anyone else. I have a number of skin and aesthetic treatments and I trust Cat implicitly; she is meticulous in her work and safety is always her priority. She explains everything to me including how my body works which I love and always checks in after treatments to get an update.
Cat genuinely wants to make her clients look and feel better about themselves and she is passionate about what she does. I know she would say no to a treatment if I didn’t need it rather than do it just to make a quick buck which speaks volumes in her profession. Highly recommend, she’s utterly fabulous

So i had another treatment from Cat, one that we had been discussing for a while now Cat wanted to get it just right. The treatment was for hyperhydrosis (facial sweating). It had been a problem for me for years and stopped going to most social events because of embarrassment. Well I can’t believe the difference just after one treatment, enough to say life changing I actually cried, this i will definitely be going back for, it’s not pain free i will be honest but if i can stand it anyone can.

Cat is a talented and trustworthy aesthetician. Her standard of work and attention to detail is fantastic and I wouldn't consider going anywhere else now I've found her! I sought Cat out through the Save Face website as a priority but it's such a relief to find her skills compliment her safety standards. I trusted Cat with a total profile rebalance to address some troublesome areas that have bothered me for a while. Her attention to what works for your face specifically and the quality of her fillers (I trialled the new Kysense product) has realised fantastic results, I feel completely refreshed but still natural.

Cats cool, quirky, kinda comical but calming You can tell she knows her shizz so this straight away puts you at ease. But seriously, the cat fans cool because it's pink and a cat, and Cats name is cat soooo you need to go use it She's also now had me on Obagi for my face for just over a year and my skins sooooooo much better. I definitely don't feel the need for much make up anymore. Love it and love her
