All appointments are entered into our Ovatu CRM system. Please attend on time as a delay will leave less time for your treatment to be carried out safely. If you are late arriving, please note that your treatment may not be able to be carried out.
Alison Taylor reserves the right to decline or defer treatments based on the best interests of the patient, or other discretion.

Please provide as much notice as possible, if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, so that we may make best use of our appointment diary. You should be able to Manage your own Booking on the text message reminder you receive 48 hours before the appointment. You can change the time and date here but there may be a charge if less than 24 hours.
When diaries are particularly busy, we may take a redeemable deposit, of (£50) redeemable against treatment cost, to mitigate missed appointments.
All online bookings must pay a deposit (refundable against treatment cost). This is non-refundable in the case of a non-attendance or cancellation within 24 hours of the start of the appointment.
For new patients, your first appointment will be for consultation and assessment only. Only in exceptional circumstances, will treatment be provided on the same day if deemed safe to proceed by Alison Taylor. If you would like a treatment on the first contact, this needs to be discussed and allowed for prior to the appointment being booked in so that enough time can be allowed.
However, if it is then deemed inappropriate to have this treatment, the time will not be needed and the clinic time is lost.
Alison reserves the right to decline treatment on grounds of health and appropriateness at her professional discretion.

REVIEW APPOINTMENTS
If you have ANY concerns about a treatment, including lumps, increased redness, increased pain, spreading bruises, strange sensations, rashes or other sign or symptom, please contact Alison.
It is highly unlikely to be caused by the treatment but there are very rare occasions where problems may occur, especially in conjunction with viral or other illnesses which can trigger an immune response. Lumps and bumps usually resolve, but please seek advice from Alison.
Wrinkle relaxing Review appointments are offered after treatment with Botulinum Toxin (Btx) as a courtesy.
This must be taken within 4 weeks of Btx treatment. This review is for the treatment results to be reviewed and evaluated and any adjustments discussed.
If additional Btx is required to perfect results within 4 weeks, this will be provided free of charge if deemed necessary by Alison in order to adjust original treatment to ensure best results.
This appointment is not to be viewed as a "top-up" appointment where there may be an expectation of extra Btx free of charge. If you wish to have additional areas treated at this or other appointment following the original treatment after more time, there will be a charge as per price list per area. If more than 8 weeks has passed after treatment, full price for any additional Btx will be charged.
