It was refreshing to meet a clinician who didn’t automatically reach for injectables and instead advised a different course of action. Thank you! The after appointment support could have been better with a 1:2:1 conversation about the use of products prescribed rather than trying to hear what was being said through a plastic screen with other patients and staff around the area. It was difficult to concentrate if what was being said. I think the lady trying to sort out my products was covering reception at the same time and I’m not sure that works well from the patients perspective. One of the prescribed products was out of stock and I was told it should be arriving soon. Despite these last comments I do think the salon/clinic is very good and I would recommend to others.

I felt through my treatment i was well cared for and Dr Abs was very knowledgeable and had excellent patient care . I am very pleased with the results of my treatment . The one negative I felt was my review appointment as Dr Abs did not have his camera and did not take an after photo of my skin to compare to the before. This would have been beneficial to me so I could see the difference the treatment had made.

It was my first visit at VL Aesthetic and I am sure not the last one. Beginning from the phone call ( lovely lady who’s answered all my questions) till the actual appointment everything was first class. I have felt very welcomed when arrived at the clinic. Dr listened to me and advised what would be best for me. I went after his advice and very happy with the results. Thank you VL Aesthetic and already started recommending you to my family and friends. Top service. See you soon again.
