Beautiful chic clinic, made me feel at ease from the moment I arrived.
Sophie is extremely personable and friendly whilst being professional and honest.
I have been to a couple of different clinics in the past and felt uncomfortable with the ‘hard sell’ approach so it was refreshing to go somewhere where I felt I was given genuine advice!
Absolutely thrilled with the results and won’t be going anywhere else from now on, thank you Sophie!

Sophie has been my aesthetic nurse for over 7 years. I travel quite a distance to the clinic and it is always worth it. My face has been on a long and patient journey and from this, looks natural, youthful and balanced. Sophie’s approach to aesthetics is led with an obvious medical background, I feel safe when having any vulnerable treatment. I can not praise Sophie’s work enough, from peels to filler, everything I have received has always left me feeling confident and beautiful.
Thank you Sophie for making me feel amazing in my skin, I look forward to the future years of my backwards ageing :)

Sophie always listens to make sure she has an in depth understanding of what you are looking to improve upon. Suggestions are made and tweaked and she only proceeds once she’s entirely sure you’re entirely comfortable and happy with what has been proposed. I would 100% recommend without hesitation.

Cottesloe Clinic has helped me repair years of damage from sun, stress and general wear. Sophie listens deeply to any concerns and respects my desire to maintain a totally healthy and natural appearance. I’m really nervous with needles but she always puts me ease. She is meticulous with her explanations and hygiene. A truly skilled practitioner (I’ve experienced others and they don’t come close), Cottesloe clinic is the only place I trust with my face can’t recommend them enough.

Where do I start with Cottesloe... I have been going for a couple of years and I honestly can say Sophie has changed my life...I used to hate my face seeing the deep wrinkles and the dark circles and the lifelessness in my face was really destroying my confidence, until I bit the bullet and had my first consultation and from there the rest is history, I still get like a kid at Christmas when my app day arrives, Thankyou Sophie from the bottom of my heart I will be forever grateful to you...your stuck with me now!

This clinic is so lovely. It's private, clean and comfortable. I never feel rushed. I always feel like their most important customer and that is worth everything. I had some problems with a cosmetic treatment I received from another salon. Thank god I found the Cottesloe clinic from a saveface. They helped me fix my awful lips. Now I will never ever go anywhere else.

The attention you are given. The clear explanation of treatment at every step of the way. The best advice from an expert in her field. But most of all, you enter and leave the clinic feeling like you have been a truly valued client.

Sophie is a gem. I am so pleased I have found the cotteslo clinic because prior to this I visited many different people and never felt satisfied. I now realise I was never fully informed of treatments. I always felt ripped off but the truth was I didn't have the right information. Sophie is not interested in making money from you, she just wants to make you happy and is always interested i your wellbeing and opinions over anything else. I am a patient of hers for life now

I wanted my lips done for AGES but had seen so many BAD examples of lip filler. Then I found The Cottesloe Clinics instagram and I loved how natural all the lips looked. So I booked an appointment. Sophie could tell I was nervous and totally made me feel relaxed. We chatted over the procedure and the complications (which i was shocked as none of my mates who've had filler have ever been told of risks or complications). She sent me away to think about things and told me to get in touch if I wanted to chat again or go ahead with the treatment. This was totally free. Well needless to say I wanted them done so booked in for the following month (she was fully booked until then!). FINAL VERDICT? AMAZING. So natural and beautiful. no one can tell I've had them done and everyone compliments me on them. I didn't want to keep them a secret but they are so could iv told everyone. I would not go to anyone else. Sophie is really a gem in this field and i am so so glad i have found her. Now i can have full lips forever YEY. I have to be honest she's not the cheapest but you really do get what you pay for here. She's well worth it. I'm so happy.

I work in the health and beauty industry, as a journalist so I'm very discerning (some might say fussy). And although mostly based I London, I will only be seeing Sophie from now on. She took the time to examine my face, recommend approaches we could take, suggesting we avoid others. Felt very taken care of, procedure was a pleasure (yes even with a needle involved!) and aftercare superb as were the results. So many clinics offer non invasive procedures without understanding a woman's face, or even having proper training. You'll be in very safe hands here. Could not recommend more.
