This month is is National Cholesterol Month run by to raise awareness about checking your cholesterol levels.

It's a great month to start thinking about cholesterol as the days get cooler and we start comfort eating, and maybe indulging in sweets towards the end of the month!

➡️Cholesterol is actually needed by our bodies.
➡️It's only when it gets too high, that it becomes a problem.
➡️Too much cholesterol in the blood can lead to issues like heart attacks, stroke, and circulatory diseases.
➡️The only way to tell if you have high cholesterol, however, is to get tested.

💗We offer a full MOT of your bloods to monitor for cholesterol and more!

You get your blood test results emailed to you as soon as we receive them.

You can then book an appointment with our GP's to discuss the results.

Book now via our website.

Feel like you've lost confidence?

Facial contouring is a subtle, balanced approach to enhancing your natural structure. Using a combination of anti-wrinkle injections and hyaluronic acid fillers, our expert clinicians create tailored treatments that refresh and restore without overdoing it.

For women, we can lift and rejuvenate by restoring volume to your cheeks and lips that will give you a softer more youthful appearance.

For men, we can enhance your features with subtle definition to the jawline and cheekbones.

Facial contouring will give you a holistic approach and is much more effective than single treatments.
