These terms and conditions provide detailed information for patients considering cosmetic and medical skin procedures with Cosmedics Skin Clinics, trading as London Vein Treatment Centre.

1. Consultations

A consultation with one of our doctors costs £75. Prices for treatments carried out in the same appointment as the consultation will include the consultation fee (note: same day procedures are only undertaken where the procedure is deemed appropriate to do so AND the patient understands the full extent of the costs, risks and potential side effects and is consenting to proceed on that knowledge).

For all appointments credit card details will now need to be given. They will be stored on Sage Pay. The card will be pre-authorised for the consultation fee as outlined above. The card will not be charged in advance but will be charged if a client fails to attend the appointment or cancels outside of the cancellation policy time and doesn’t contact us.

See below for cancellation policy.

2. Our fees include (as applicable)

a. Operating theatre charges
b. Consultation and procedure fee
c. Anaesthetic fee if required.

3. Our fees exclude (as appropriate)

a. Consultations and treatment of medical conditions that may arise that are not related to your agreed procedure either before or after surgery.
b. The correction of previous procedures or treatments not performed by our doctors
c. Additional treatments that are deemed above and beyond what was discussed at the initial consultation and price structure.

4. Payment Terms

Payment must be made either in advance or at the time of the procedure.

We accept cash and the following credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, Debit Cards, Maestro (formerly Switch) and Solo. We no longer accept cheques and do not accept Amex (American Express).

5. The consultant / doctor

The consultant / doctor is engaged by Cosmedics Skin Clinics so we can provide his or her services to you.  The consultant is not employed by the clinic or Cosmedics and is an independent contractor. All doctors are covered independently with own indemnity policies. The company also has medical indemnity insurance.

You must answer any questions put to you by the consultant or other clinical staff truthfully, completely and accurately and provide any information which may affect your initial consultation, treatment or recovery.

6. Follow Ups

Follow-up appointments are specific to the clients concerns. Where a follow-up is requested, we will ask you to send photos via email in the first instance, to assess the situation. You will receive feedback by email and/or a telephone call. Where the doctor advises an appointment is required, there is a £75 consultation review fee payable, this would then include cryotherapy, steroid injection and one reshave as needed at the follow up appointment. Any other treatment would be chargeable.

If patients have not been seen or been in contact during the 12 months post procedures/treatments then they require a new patient consultation with corresponding fee payable. If during the consultation further treatment is deemed appropriate, then at the doctors discretion any further treatment will be chargeable.

7. Personal Details

You agree that we Cosmedics can use your personal details for the purposes of providing you with medical and surgical services as well as providing pre- and post-treatment advice for you.

This information may be provided to other clinical organisations and individuals (including the consultant, clinical staff and the hospital) for the same purposes but only in connection with ongoing medical care.

We may also use your contact details to provide you with occasional information about other services we provide or may provide in the future.  If you do not wish to receive this information, please tell us.  If you do not tell us, we will assume you are happy to receive this information.

All credit card details are stored securely off-site by Sage Pay in accordance with PCI compliance regulations.

8. Pricing

Prices are subject to consultation.  Any price quoted in your consultation will then take precedence over prices that may be quoted on this website or elsewhere. The Company reserves the right to change prices at any time without notice.

9. Refusal of Treatments

There are several reasons that a doctor may consider that a treatment is not a suitable option for an individual and Cosmedics has a strict patient selection criteria to ensure patients are medically fit to undergo a particular treatment. It is therefore possible that we advise, in your best medical interests, that surgery or treatment is not appropriate. We will also not proceed with a procedure if we feel that your expectations exceed the results achievable from such surgery.

Please note that we do not provide treatments for anyone aged under 18 years.

10. Disclaimer

Our aim to to provide a first class service however we cannot guarantee that treatment is possible until the vein problem has been seen by our doctor or surgeon; whose individual advice takes precedence over any previous information given.

Only once you have been assessed can we give you a full recommendation on what is your best treatment option. Occasionally that may mean a referral to another specialist whether it by for a different type of laser or for the complexity of the concern.

Cancellation Policy

We do understand if clients are unwell or have other commitments, but please give us as much notice as possible if you wish to rearrange an appointment. We reserve the right to charge for non-attendance or where cancellation is shorter than our policy. For all doctor appointments we operate a 48 hour cancellation policy with a fee of £75.
