Adverse reactions can happen, and prior to procedure you will be asked to complete a consent form to determine patient suitability for treatment. The practitioner will discuss all aspects of the treatment and aftercare. If you do not understand any aspect of the treatment or potential side effect, we advise you to discuss with your practitioner or not go ahead with the treatment. Adverse reactions are always possible and our team will ensure we detail potential side effects or possible common adverse effects prior to treatment commencing. Certain aesthetic procedures may have known complications (and rarely, unknown complications), although this is unlikely in most cases. We thoroughly assess each patient prior to treatment to minimise any risks. It is important to note that some patients may be at a greater risk than others. Rest assured that we will do our utmost to treat these appropriately and effectively as many of these side effects can be managed conservatively and without much difficulty. We are well-equipped to handle any minor complications that may arise. However, if an issue is more severe, we advise you seek medical advice. Please call immediately if you experience any adverse reactions or if you have any concerns pre or post treatment. We may invite you in for a consultation and we may ask to document any adverse reactions with photos. We will also record the reaction and log for future reference and investigation. It is important that the information you give on the consent form is accurate and up to date. When signing a consent form, you are agreeing that you understand the risks of the treatment and are happy to proceed.

When it comes to treatment or membership, there may be specific conditions or situations that could lead to an automatic decline. It is important to understand these conditions in order to make informed decisions and manage expectations. Certain medical conditions or pre-existing health issues may result in a decline of treatment or membership. Insurance providers often have specific guidelines and criteria that determine eligibility for coverage. If an individual's condition falls outside of these guidelines, it may lead to a decline in treatment or membership. Additionally, non-compliance with the terms and conditions set forth by the provider can also result in a decline. Failure to meet payment obligations, submitting incomplete or inaccurate information, or engaging in fraudulent activities can all be grounds for denial of treatment or membership. It is crucial to thoroughly review the terms and conditions of any treatment plan or membership agreement before committing. Understanding the potential conditions that could lead to automatic declines can help individuals make informed decisions and explore alternative options if necessary.

We reserve the right to decline treatment or membership at any time if we determine it to be unsafe or unsuitable for the patient, or for any other reason we deem appropriate.
