Consultations
Aesthetics consultations in Margate
Every treatment at SM Aesthetics Clinic starts with a conversation. All treatments requiring a prescription only proceed after a one-to-one consultation with a registered prescriber. This page explains how that works, so you know what to expect before you book.
Which consultation do I need?
Aesthetics consultation
For dermal fillers, skin boosters, polynucleotides, microneedling and facials. Sian talks through your goals, your skin and the options that suit you, and agrees a plan with you.
£10
The £10 booking fee is deducted from your treatment cost.
Semi-permanent makeup consultation & patch test
For lip blush and brows. A patch test is carried out at least 48 hours before your treatment. A consultation is required if you have had semi-permanent makeup before.
£10
The £10 booking fee is deducted from your treatment cost.
Prescriber consultation
For treatments that need a prescription. You have a one-to-one consultation with a registered prescriber, who reviews your medical history and decides whether a prescription treatment is suitable for you.
Booked separately. The fee is shown when you book online.
How a prescriber assessment works
- Book a consultationChoose the consultation that matches what you would like to talk about. If you are not sure, book the aesthetics consultation and Sian will advise.
- Tell us about your healthYou will be asked about your medical history, medication, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and previous treatments, so your suitability can be assessed properly.
- Meet the registered prescriberFor treatments that need a prescription, a registered prescriber assesses you. The clinic’s prescribing partner is Dorota Jaworska of DJ Clinic in Folkestone, an NMC-registered nurse and midwife with a Nurse Independent / Supplementary Prescriber qualification. This is a clinical decision made for you individually. Not everyone is suitable, and you will be told honestly if a treatment is not right for you.
- Prescription issued, if appropriateOnly if the prescriber decides it is suitable will a prescription be issued for you. The prescription needs to be delivered to the clinic, so there is a short wait before your treatment can be booked.
- Your appointmentOnce your prescription is in place, you can book your treatment. Clear aftercare guidance and a follow-up review are discussed with you.
Good to know
- A consultation does not commit you to treatment. There is no pressure to go ahead.
- If you have not had a consultation with us within the last 6 months, you will need a new one before a treatment that requires a prescriber.
- Please bring a list of your medication and any medical conditions.
- Prescription treatments can only be provided following a consultation, and only where the prescriber considers them suitable.
- Individual results vary, and we aim to manage expectations realistically.
- Treatments are never provided on the same day as your first prescriber assessment, because the prescription has to be issued and delivered first.
Additional consultation information
Fat-dissolving injections are from £120 per session. Vitamin injections: a prescription-only medicine, so product and price are discussed at consultation. Suitability is assessed individually; a consultation may or may not lead to treatment.
Safety and your choices
Your safety comes first. Sian explains the benefits, risks, possible side effects and alternatives for any treatment before you decide, and you are free to change your mind at any time. If you have questions about a particular treatment, ask at your consultation or contact the clinic. Read more about your safety and care.
