General

If I had a reaction to a treatment, how would you handle it?

For this kind of clinic

2
Are you trained and insured for this treatment, and will you patch test me first?
What a solid answer includes: A directly responsive answer names the training and insurance, and confirms a patch test where the product requires it.
3
What is single-use, and how is the rest sterilised?
What a solid answer includes: A directly responsive answer explains which items are opened fresh for you and how reusable tools are cleaned and sterilised.

E. Things to observe and note

These don't show up on a website. None of them mean something is wrong; they are simply worth noticing and weighing as part of your decision.

Before & after: is it a fair comparison?
If you are shown photographs, check:
- Same patient and treated area; the treatment is identified.
- Angle, distance or zoom, crop, posture and expression are comparable.
- Lighting, background and camera perspective are comparable.
- Make-up, filters, retouching, styling or skin preparation do not change the area; ask about sessions, timing, other treatments and results beyond the best case.
Ask: “Can I see unedited photographs taken under comparable conditions, with sessions, timing and any other treatments explained?”
Photography can change how results appear. One person’s outcome is not a guarantee of yours.
Full payment is asked for before the consultation
Consultation fees are normally quoted on their own. Being asked to pay for the whole procedure before you have been assessed is worth pausing on.
You are asked to book on the day
The Royal College of Surgeons' standards recommend a cooling-off period of at least two weeks for cosmetic surgery, and GMC guidance asks doctors to give you time to reflect — a discount that ends today is worth pausing on.
No written consent form before payment
GMC guidance expects the person carrying out a procedure to take your consent themselves and to give you time to reflect; ask to see the consent form before you pay.
Your specific risk questions get general answers
If you ask what could go wrong for you and the answer stays general, ask again until it becomes specific to you.
No clear route if something goes wrong
Ask who you would call out of hours and what happens if a corrective procedure is needed, and note how clearly it is answered.
Are single-use items opened in front of you?
Needles, cartridges and wax applicators are opened fresh for each person; note what you see.
