In the case of appointments that form part of a course, package or subscription of treatment, one treatment will be deducted from the remaining number of treatments –  this also applies to any of our CULTSKIN® subscription services.

• If you are bringing young children to the clinic, please ensure that there is a supervising adult with them at all times as CULTSKIN® staff cannot supervise and neither can children be taken into treatment rooms.

• If you are planning to fly medium-long haul after your treatment appointments, please raise this with the Patient Care team upon booking, so they can check with the Doctor whether the treatment booked will be still suitable.
• You are not guaranteed to have further treatments at your review appointment, this is solely at the discretion of the Doctor or CULTSKIN® Skin Specialist.
• Any missed reviews that were not cancelled at least 7 days before the appointment will result in a £50 fine being applied to the next treatment booked with CULTSKIN®.
• Any treatment discussed with your practitioner must be booked within 12 months of the consultation otherwise a new consultation will be required.
• You must specify at the time of booking if you wish to see a certain doctor. If a specification is not explicitly made, then you will be allocated the next appointment for the next available ESHO Associate Doctor or CULTSKIN® Skin Specialist.
• If you require corrective treatment or if your requirements are complex, you may be required to have a Corrective Consultation rather than a standard consultation. There can be an additional charge for Corrective Consultations.
• Please be aware that in some procedures, where anaesthetic topical, also referred to as numbing cream is required, you may have this applied in the clinic waiting room where other patients may also be in attendance. If this is a concern for you, please contact the Patient Care team in advance.

COMPLICATIONS

• Although rare, some procedures can result in a range of well-documented complications. Some patients may specifically be subject to a higher risk factor than others. We will, of course, treat these to the best of our ability as many of these complications can be managed simply and conservatively. If you are urgently required to see Dr Esho, or any of the team, you may be asked to travel to one of our clinics to be examined in a medical setting. In the very unlikely event of a more serious complication and the need of further treatment outside of our expertise, arrangements will be made for you to be treated by the NHS or if you wish, privately at your own cost. Please note it is possible that any private medical insurance may not cover complications arising from cosmetic work.

LIABILITY

• CULTSKIN® will not be liable in contract, tort or otherwise for any economic loss (including, without limitation, loss of profit), or for any other special, indirect or consequential loss or damage arising out of, or in connection with, its provision of any goods and/or services to the client. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that he or she provide us with all relevant medical details prior to each treatment. CULTSKIN® will not be liable for any damage that occurs as a result of the client’s failure to disclose such details. The client agrees to comply with all instructions and/or recommendations given to them by, or on behalf of, CULTSKIN® regarding the care of a treated area.

REFUNDS AND RETURNS

• You are entitled to change your appointment free of charge up to 7 days before the scheduled date. Any changes after this period will be considered a cancellation and your deposit will not be transferable. Please be aware that all of our clinics can often be fully booked 3 months in advance and you should consider this if requesting any changes to your appointment dates and times.
• Due to circumstances outside of our control, there may be occasions when we must cancel appointments at very short notice. The patient care team will endeavour to offer you a similar appointment for the soonest date available. Please note that refunds will not be given for any expenses you may incur such as train tickets, flight tickets or hotel bookings.
• All of our clinics can run behind schedule and for this reason, we request that you do not make any plans within 4 hours of your appointment time. Each doctor will take the amount of time necessary to provide comprehensive care and attention to every single patient. The CULTSKIN® staff will try their best to avoid large delays, however, this cannot always be avoided and we cannot guarantee that each patient will be seen on time. Many of our practitioners often treat a variety of complicated or emergency cases which can result in a delay in clinic. If the clinic is running late, you will not be entitled to a refund or transfer of your deposit. Please contact the Patient Care team at your earliest convenience to reschedule your appointment if you envisage this being a problem for you.
• Treatment deposits can be transferred to another CULTSKIN® Clinic location. Treatment deposits can also be used for a different treatment offered at the CULTSKIN® Clinic. If either of these amendments are required by the patient, a minimum of 7-days’ notice from the appointment date is needed.
• Products bought in clinic or on the online shop are non-refundable unless they are faulty. Faulty products will need to be returned to a CULTSKIN® Clinic for assessment before any refunds can be processed.

PROMOTIONS

• Occasionally, CULTSKIN® may run promotions for our patients. CULTSKIN® reserves the right to change any aspect of the promotion without notice.
