Inside the Clinic | Cosmetic Journal

Every guide in this section

Clinics are increasingly built as operating businesses rather than personal practices. What that means, and why patients feel the difference.

The transition from a personal practice to a company that runs without its founder, and what breaks along the way.

Sixteen guides across four sections, all written from the patient's side of the desk.

Consultations, credentials, cost and the questions worth asking before any deposit changes hands.

What each treatment does, what it cannot do, and how the common options compare on the face.

Regulation, downtime, aftercare and the warning signs that mean you stop and ring the clinic.

The Journal

We email when UK regulation or professional guidance changes, and when a guide is revised in a way that would change what a reader does.

Occasional emails when regulation changes, guidance moves or a guide is updated. No treatment offers, because we do not carry any.
