valentina B16/03/2024I’ve been seeing Virma for a few years for IPL and more recently Morpheus 8 treatments. She is very professional and is always eager to make sure I’m comfortable during treatments and that I’m happy with the results. She’s also provided skin care advice. I highly recommend her!
Rami16/03/2024Had powder brow top up with Laura in the clinic. The salon is lovely and all staff were really friendly. Laura is amazing - so much care and attention taken to giving me the perfect brows. Have seen Laura a few times for top ups and every time - absolutely amazing!!
Alexandra MacDonald15/03/2024Virma, my Canadian sister, is the best! She is so knowledgeable, I absolutely trust her with all my treatments. She really understands what is suited to my skin, provides me with great results and is just a fantastic person. I am so glad I found Virma and I couldn’t be happier with my Morpheus8 results!
Nada Al-Nahi23/02/2024Raluca was very gentle and made my Morpheus 8 experience relaxing! The numbing cream worked well and she talked me through what she was doing. Very knowledgeable, professional and genuinely wants the best results for her clients. Thank you :)
Kleona Shehu10/02/2024I had a facial with Raluka. She was professional and took care of me at the clinic. Once she finished my facial, there was a lovely change of glow on my face! My face felt firm and healthy - I am very pleased and happy with the service. Highly recommend. :)
Nicole Dias08/02/2024I have had an amazing experience with Dr Shahd, she is kind, patient, understanding and very professional. She really took her time to listen to me and understand my concerns about my nose shape (which I did not think could be improved without invasive surgery) and gave me honest advice and feedback. I couldn't be happier with the results of my dermal filler, it was my first ever cosmetic treatment and Dr Shahd couldn't have made me feel more comfortable and at ease, I completely felt I was in good and safe hands! If you are considering having a cosmetic treatment done I would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful clinic and specifically Dr Shahd.
Mia Graz01/02/2024Amazing doctors at this clinic

Joanne White09/01/2024Welcoming throughout. No brows for four years post Chemo so took the plunge with micro blading ! What a difference, I absolutely love my new brows, felt completely listened to by Laura and the results are brilliant, I can’t quite believe how natural they are, thank you so much ! I’ve already recommended to a friend who will hopefully get new brows too!
