Honestly and transparency are extremely important to us. The terms and conditions below help to clarify subjects such as payment, appointment cancellations, deposits, and the type of information that we\u2019ll ask you to provide.<\/p>\n
Whilst a face-to-face appointment is always preferred,\u00a0we acknowledge that this may sometimes be difficult, especially for those who will be travelling long distances. For such patients, the initial consultations can be carried out in a 30-minute video or telephone call. You must be ready to join the video or telephone call a minimum of 5 minutes before the scheduled appointment time. A\u00a0deposit of \u00a350 is required upon booking to secure the appointment.\u00a0Please refer to our terms and conditions for our policy on cancellations.<\/p>\n
Complications are extremely rare; however, some procedures have documented complications that will be explained to you during your consultation and consent process. In the unlikely event of a complication, we are trained in dealing with complications, and we advise calling, and we will arrange an urgent appointment. Depending on the day, you may have to travel to a clinic other than where you were treated initially. In the event of a more serious complication, we will arrange for treatment at a hospital, although please bear in mind many insurance companies may not cover cosmetic procedures. Again, complications are rare, and we would like to reassure you that if one does occur, we will support you in every way possible.<\/p>\n
All patients will be required to sign a consent form prior to any treatment. Please ask any questions you may have; we encourage questions and aim to ensure a thorough understanding of the procedure. Consent may be verbally withdrawn at any time prior to the treatment taking place.<\/p>\n
We do not treat children or young adults under the age of 18.
\nPlease do not bring children to the clinic unless they are old enough to be left unsupervised.
\nChildren will not be allowed to accompany you into the treatment rooms.<\/p>\n
Fees charged for treatment are for the delivery of a treatment and the accompanying service, which is inclusive of:<\/p>\n
Whilst we undertake to provide excellent service as well as information, honest advice, safe expert treatment in experienced hands and only the best products, we cannot guarantee your results and cannot offer refunds if the results achieved fail to meet your expectations.<\/p>\n
Any feedback is much appreciated, both positive and negative. Feedback is used to review and improve quality of service as well as continuing to provide a superior customer experience. You may submit feedback verbally, via email, via Google and TrustPilot, the clinic website or via the Save Face website.<\/p>\n
Time Clinic is committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment. An environment in which patients and staff can be confident that best practice is always followed, and where everyone\u2019s safety is of paramount importance.<\/p>\n
All patients are entitled to have a chaperone present for any consultation, examination, or procedure where they feel one is required.<\/p>\n

Your healthcare professional may also require and request a chaperone to be present for certain consultations in accordance with our chaperone policy.<\/p>\n
As part of our commitment to exceptional customer care and service, we have a rigorous complaints policy in place. This helps to ensure that all complaints are dealt with fairly, consistently and in a timely manner. Our focus is always on resolving the complaint to a patient\u2019s complete satisfaction.<\/p>\n
