I have been a client of skin medical at the Manchester clinic for the past 8-9 years for laser hair removal on my face. I used to have a lot of facial hair and the team at skin medical had been great for years. They really boosted my confidence and the results were great. For the past few years, I only had been going for top ups every 3 or so months to keep the small hair re-growth under control. I had always been treated with respect from the staff including Lisa, Helen, Geri and Rebecca. However, over the Christmas period 2018, I needed to change my appointment and was spoken to extremely rudely by one of the reception staff, Deborah. I tried to explain to her that due to emergency work (I am a medical doctor and had to attend to work a nightshift on Boxing Day), I was unable to attend. I was then told contradicting information and was not listened to at all. I felt so degraded and disrespected that I have been coming for so long and I was spoken to like this. The information provided kept changing, she told me I would lose my deposit which I would receive at the end of my course, but I was never on a course. I was so upset after being spoken to in such an awful manner that I have left the clinic and will not be returning again. The 48 hour cancellation policy is completely understandable, but when the clinic is not open 48 hours prior, it is unfair to have this policy and be told to either attend the appointment or be forced to go on a waiting list. As a medical professional, I do not treat my own patients this way and always try to listen to them. I am disappointed that the secretary here did not do this and for this reason, I will not recommend this clinic to anyone in the future. Extremely disappointed.
I cannot recommend Helen and her staff at Skin Medical highly enough. I had the upper and lower eyelid tightening procedure using the PlexR machine as my hooded eyelids were ageing and making me look tired. The whole process was explained in detail and my questions were answered fully and honestly. Numbing cream was applied an hour before treatment to ensure maximum efficiency and Helen made sure I was comfortable during the treatment which was no worse than going to the dentist and was probably comparable in duration. I was pre warned about the healing process which I found very reassuring as this is not a pretty consequence of the treatment, however full aftercare instructions are provided both verbally and in writing. The 'camouflage cream' is easy to use and worth every penny of the purchase price as this is vital to protect the healing skin and prevent pigmentation scars. On the whole, Helen made the whole process as painless and pleasant as possible and I am delighted with the results after only two weeks. A fantastic alternative to surgery with very little downtime!
