Rachel is brilliant! I did a lot of research to find an excellent ‘Save Face' accredited aesthetic practitioner local to me & Rachel totally delivers. Rachel is warm, extremely professional, & explains everything clearly. Initially I was nervous & Rachel put me at ease straight away. She asked me about my biggest concerns & then explained what treatments she could offer to help me look my natural best for my upcoming wedding, tailoring a treatment plan that works around me. Rachel's ethos to provide very natural aesthetic enhancement has helped me look the best I have done in decades with no signs of ‘work', just a naturally youthful face. I can't recommend Rachel enough. Thank you Rachel, you're amazing at what you do & you've given me so much more confidence being an ‘older' bride because of all your help & amazing artistry!

Rachel is a true professional. She is very highly qualified and extremely knowledgeable in aesthetics. She also a trainer for a large aesthetic company training other practitioners in aesthetic treatments. When I first met Rachel she completely put me at ease, she listened to my concerns and then discussed treatment options. She discussed the potential risks involved and the anticipated outcome. I wasn't rushed and I had plenty of opportunity to ask questions. If you are considering treatments, look no further than Rachel. She is such a lovely lady and has the amazing calming voice. Rachel I'm yours for life.

I had previously done my research when looking for an aesthetic practioner. The fact that Rachel is a registered nurse and has many years experience gave me confidence in booking a consultation. Rachel is so knowledgeable and will not carry out a procedure unless she is confident it will give you the desired results. She puts you totally at ease and is so professional in her manner. If Rachel thinks the procedure that you are requesting is not the right thing for you she will tell you and offer alternatives. I cannot rate her highly enough and I am delighted in the results of my treatment.

If you're looking for a subtle, professional aesthetic treatment then look no further than seeing Rachel.
Rachel takes time to explain the options available, risks involved, perceived outcome and products to be used.
I was under no illusion as to how the treatment would be or how the aim of the results would likely be as this was explained beautifully.
Rachel has a wonderful bedside manner, she is so professional and knowledgeable. She is just a lovely gently lady and I wouldn't go anywhere else. 5 stars all the way”.

I have been treated by Rachel twice at her clinic, first in March and again yesterday (21st July) To rate her any less than 5 stars would be a discredit to her. As soon as you walk into her clinic she makes you feel completely at ease. She is extremely polite & professional and explains the treatment thoroughly including the risks involved. There is no pressure what so ever to continue with any treatment if you don't feel completely comfortable. She is a credit to the profession and I don't think I would ever go anywhere else.

I saw Rachel today for lip augmentation after wanting it done for around a year. Going to see Rachel was recommended to me by a close work friend of mine. After arranging my appointment with Rachel I was very excited about going to have my lips done. As soon as I arrived at Rachel's treatment room, I was made too feel very welcome and comfortable. The service was very professional and friendly, I was put at ease immediately after feeling very nervous before my appointment. I felt relaxed the entire time I was there and was advised extremely well about the prodecure I was about to have. Any questions I had were answered to the full. I will be going too see Rachel again to have more filler in my lips. I feel incredibly happy with the results and can't wait too go again! Would highly recommend this amazing lady's service to anybody without a doubt. Thankyou so much!

I had been thinking about having some botox and fillers for a while but was a little nervous about actually going through with it. After meeting Rachel, she completely put me at ease and talked me through everything in detail so I knew exactly what to expect during and after the treatment.
I nearly backed out on the actual day but there was no pressure from Rachel at all and she understood completely. I am so glad I did go through with it. The lines on my forehead have almost disappeared and my face doesn't seem to "sag" like it did before. I look fresher and a colleague at work recently said I looked "really well" and asked if I'd changed my make-up.
It has really given me a confidence boost and I would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone who is considering treatment. Thank you so much Rachel you are fantastic ! :)

A few years ago I noticed two deep lines between my eyes in a photo, taken when I was actually quite happy but made my face look like it was in a permanent scowl. I was in my 30s and felt despite taking great care of my skin, nothing would set back the ageing process where my frown lines were concerned! I had botox treatment with Rachel at her private treatment rooms. After only a few treatments the lines have all but faded, and the whole look is natural without the 'frozen face' look, plenty of natural wrinkles remain, I just look a little fresher.
I found Rachel to be immensely professional and I trust her as a registered nurse. I would heartily recommend her service, and I will be using other products and treatments in future too.

Today I went to a meeting with a customer that I had not seen for a month. When I walked up to shake hands with the her, she looked at me a little longer than usual, tipping their head to one side as if searching for an answer she then said... "Jen, you look different today, all dewy and fresh. Have you changed the colour of your hair, or just jumped out of the shower?". I then went into the office, meeting with a few more members of the team, who all agreed collectively remarked that I looked "so young and fresh". I was literally dancing inside. Unbeknown to the team I was meeting with, I hadn't changed my hair colour, or just jumped out of the shower, but I had recently had a little Botox in my forehead and a little filler in my cheeks at Younger U. I am 45 years old and absolutely delighted that I look like I did 6-7 years ago. Done well, the treatment had made me look a younger and healthier version of myself,. I love the subtle but noticeable change Younger U achieved and would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone wanting quality treatment. No bruising, no pain, just a fresh dewy look. Thank you Rachel, I love my new look! You are brilliant!
