Terms & conditions for non-surgical treatments

New Patients

All patients are required to provide contact details, including address, telephone number and email in order to secure an appointment. All patients are asked to complete a medical history form for their first appointment. This is necessary for a complete consultation and treatment planning process and to assess your suitability for treatment. All information is treated as confidential and protected in accordance with Data Protection legislation.

Consultation Appointment Slots

We take a booking fee of £50 to secure your consultation with our Pharmacist Prescriber – Sarah Newey. If you are unable to pay this when you first book, the appointment slot will be held for you for 24 hours, after which time it can be taken by other patients. The clinic accepts bank transfer, cash, debit and credit cards including American Express. Unfortunately we do not accept cheques or payment via the telephone. Bank details for a bank transfer can be found under the heading ‘payment’ below.

Please note if you are liaising directly with the clinic, through social media or the website, then it is not necessary to book your appointment online, as your appointment slot will be held for you for 24 hours until a booking fee is received.

Consultation appointments are usually for 30 minutes unless a full skin care consultation is required, this would then be for 60 minutes. These appointments are stand alone appointments in which the patient and the clinician discuss treatment but none is carried out.

You will be advised of the cost of any planned treatment following the consultation. The balance of payment is taken in full on the day of the treatment. The booking fee will be deducted from this.

The initial booking fee of £50 can also be kept for 28 days on your account as a credit towards future treatments or products recommended to you. Should you decide against a treatment then this £50 booking fee is non-refundable.

If you are not suitable for treatment, we will inform you as to the reasons why and we may refer you onto another professional.  In this instance your £50 booking fee will be refunded to you. Depending upon your method of payment, this can take up to 10 working days to be credited back to you.

Treatment Appointment Slots

For treatment appointments we will ask you for a £50 booking fee to be paid at the point of reservation. The clinic accepts bank transfer, cash, debit and credit cards including American Express. Unfortunately we do not accept cheques or payment via the telephone. Bank details for a bank transfer can be found under the heading ‘payment’ below.

If you are unable to pay this when you first book, the appointment slot will be held for you for 24 hours, after which time it can be taken by other patients.

You will be advised of the cost of any planned treatment following the consultation. The balance of payment is taken in full on the day of the treatment. The booking fee will be deducted from this.

If you currently participate in the Gocardless Savings Scheme, then £50 will be taken as your booking fee from the balance held at the clinic. If there isn’t enough ‘credit’ then you will be required to pay the booking fee as detailed above. The same cancellation and rescheduling policy will also as detailed below.  

You are also required to pay the £50 booking fee for your REWARD treatment appointment. This booking fee of £50 can also be kept for 28 days on your account as a credit towards future treatments or products recommended to you.

Cancellation or Rescheduling your appointment

We understand that occasionally you may need to reschedule your appointment time or you may prefer to cancel. Should you need to do this – we ask for at least 48 hours’ notice. We reserve the right to charge you £50 if you fail to notify us within this timeframe. For pre-paid courses, this will result in one treatment being redeemed by the clinic. For a reward treatment this may result in the loss of your reward.

Late Arrivals

We do our best to accommodate late arrivals. However, there may be times when a late arrival will result in reduced consultation time, rescheduling or cancellation of your appointment. We reserve the right to charge you £50 in this instance. For pre-paid courses this may result in one treatment being redeemed by the clinic.

Online Booking through the website.

It is possible for you to book your consultation and treatment appointments online through our online booking system iClinician. Once you have selected your appointment type and time you will be asked to confirm your appointment with your bank card details. Your payment details will be taken securely via STRIPE. The same cancellation, rescheduling, late arrival and no-show policy will apply as via the telephone, through social media or through the website. Please bear this in mind when booking your appointment. Please note it is NOT possible to book a reward treatment online through iClinician.

Please note if you are liaising directly with the clinic, through social media or the website, then it is not necessary to book your appointment online, as your appointment slot will be held for you for 24 hours until a booking deposit is received.

Children

For safety reasons, children are not permitted into the clinic rooms and cannot be left alone in any other areas of the clinic. We would therefore advise you not to bring your children to your appointment. However, if it cannot be avoided, please bring another responsible adult along with you to look after any children aged 12 or under. Thank you for your understanding.

• Finesse Skin Clinic does not issue refunds under any circumstances for Acts of God. An Act of God is defined as an event outside of human control such as sudden floods, earthquakes or other natural disasters, for which no one can be held responsible. This also includes weather-related issues such as snow, ice, floods etc. If Finesse Skin Clinic chooses to cancel a clinic due to an Act of God then it is not liable for any loss resulting to the customer as a result of this cancelled clinic. Finesse Skin Clinic will make all reasonable effort to replace a cancelled clinic by arranging an alternative date. There is no compensation for late running appointments or other factors that are beyond the control of the clinic and its staff. We will do our best to let you know in advance and if necessary replace your appointment with an alternative date.
• As explained on our consent form, clients will be expected to pay for additional treatment if the original treatment does not achieve the desired look. Results cannot be guaranteed and the treatment of side effects and complications is included in the cost of the procedure. Therefore no refunds can be given due to any of the above occurring. Our aim is for service users to be delighted with their results, however, we are also very careful to manage expectations, hence the thorough pre-treatment consultation.
• An adjustment may be offered free of charge for anti-wrinkle treatment at the clinician’s discretion but this should not be taken as an expectation. This adjustment can be done 2-4 weeks after your treatment ONLY.
• All treatments purchased as a course must be paid for in full in advance of the first treatment. All pre-paid courses are non-refundable and valid for 12 months from the date of booking.  Any treatments left untaken after 12 months will be lost. Treatments purchased as a course cannot be shared with another individual.
• Where payment by instalments has been authorised for a package, the package must be paid for in full in order for any discount to be honoured. Should the direct debit be cancelled ahead of package completion then the total amount outstanding will be the sum total, at full price, of any products taken or treatments provided less what has been paid for so far. This is at the discretion of the clinic owner. 
• If you change your mind about your purchase within 14 days, we are happy to exchange it for another treatment or product or offer you a credit note. This policy does not apply to products/treatments which have been taken/used or opened.
• AlumierMD Skin care products are non-refundable unless faulty.
• Gift vouchers sales are final, with no refunds.
• GoCardless is essentially a savings scheme where you can set up a direct debit for a chosen amount and frequency to be taken from your account through a company called GoCardless  and this will be sent to Finesse Skin Clinic. The money saved can be used against products and services. No change can be given but can be left within the savings scheme ready for your next visit. You can use the savings scheme as part payment towards products and services but the balance for the product and/or services must be paid for in full on the day of your visit. Your GoCardless balance is NOT refundable.
