This treatment is only available for ages between 18 and 65 years. Booking an appointment or making an enquiry does not guarantee treatment provision. All services are subject to a clinical consultation and suitability assessment with a qualified healthcare professional. Treatment will only proceed if the patient is deemed medically suitable following this assessment.
During booking, only a £30 deposit is required, which will be deducted from the total cost. The remaining payment will be collected at a later stage.
Any cancellation, rescheduling, or missed appointment within 48 hours of the scheduled time will result in the loss of the £30 deposit. If you wish to reschedule, a new £30 deposit will be required to secure the new appointment.
