Appointments & Cancellations
All consultations (with or without treatment) require a deposit fee of £100. This is non-refundable and credited towards your consultation and/or treatment fee. The Clinic Group operates a 7-day cancellation policy. If you wish to cancel or rearrange a booked appointment, we kindly ask you to give us 7 working days’ notice. We reserve the right to retain the full booking deposit payment if there is non attendance or adequate notice is not given.
Should you cancel or reschedule your appointment outside of the 7-day cancellation policy the deposit fee will not be available to redeem against a consultation and/or treatment at a later date. Please provide as much notice as possible if you decide to cancel or rearrange your appointment to allow us to make as much use of the clinic diary. Additionally, The Clinic Group reserves the right to refuse treatment if a patient is thought to be unsuitable, unprofessional, defamatory, rude or abusive to any member of staff, or if the treatment is not in their best interests clinically or psychologically.
In rare situations, or unforeseen circumstances, The Clinic Group may need to to amend or cancel clinic dates at short notice. The Clinic Group reserves this right, however, we will aim to provide advanced notice where possible and be accommodating where we can. Please note, travel and accommodation expenses incurred are not the responsibility of The Clinic Group. To cancel or reschedule appointments with at least 7 days notice, please email www.theclinicgroup.co
Treatment Reviews And Follow-Up
To achieve the best outcome for you, The Clinic Group will endeavour to discuss all suitable treatment options, prices, treatment duration, risks and side effects of all treatments. To maximise results and minimise subjectivity, you are heavily encouraged to be involved during the consultation process. We will guide but not enforce treatments on the day and ensure that you are fully informed. No treatment will proceed without the completion of verbal, written and photographic consent. However, treatment results and duration of time may vary between individuals and there is no guarantee of a desired result or set time line of longevity. This is due to multiple factors, including face shape, skin type, pre-existing asymmetry, lifestyle factors and individual metabolism. Please note, a significant size reduction is also to be expected with injectable treatments within the first 2 weeks following treatment once swelling has settled.
A review appointment following treatment can be offered once the swelling has settled after 2 weeks (for Dermal Filler/Antiwrinkle treatments) if you would like The Clinic Group to check up on the treatment result. There will be no charge for a review appointment, however, please note, treatments are adjustable but non-refundable. Additional quantities/top-up of antiwrinkle injections are free of charge if the desired result isn’t achieved after 2 weeks only. Additional quantities of dermal filler injections are chargeable per syringe, please refer to our treatment pricelist for more information. Please contact us to arrange a follow-up appointment after a treatment if you wish at www.theclinicgroup.co. If you fail to attend your follow up, another appointment will not be offered or charged at the cost of the consultation fee of £100.
Refunds
Every effort will be made to ensure you have the best possible outcome but as with all medical procedures there can be a spectrum of results. As individuals differ in their responses to and the outcome of, the treatment, no clinical or financial guarantees can be given. Treatment fees cannot be refunded in the case of a sub-optimal result including no result, or complications including allergic reactions, as all fees paid are related entirely to the services provided i.e. professional time, expertise, product costs and other costs incurred in providing the treatment, and those costs are incurred irrespectively of the results achieved.
Compliments & Complaints
All feedback is appreciated to ensure our service quality remains to a high standard. If you are pleased with your treatment, we would love to hear about this. If we have not quite met your expectations, please allow us the opportunity to review the results and discuss this with you. If you have any urgent issues or concerns, please contact us urgently at www.theclinicgroup.co titled “urgent”. For any issues relating to treatment dissatisfaction, bruising, swelling, lumpiness or suboptimal results, please email us at www.theclinicgroup.co with clear accompanying photographs for us to review. If any adjustment is needed, we will book you in as a review/follow-up appointment within 14 days of your request.
If you still feel the issue has not been resolved and wish to make a formal complaint please contact our clinic as soon as possible, in writing by emailing www.theclinicgroup.co with the subject heading “Formal Complaint”. We aim to acknowledge all written complaints within 5 working days.
Children (age of consent) and Pets
We do not treat children or young adults under the age of 18 (you must be at least 18 years of age to use our website and/or services). Please do not bring children to the clinic unless they are old enough to be left unsupervised. For safety reasons, children and pets will not be allowed to accompany you into the treatment rooms.
