Fantastic

From my initial enquiry with Keely to my consultation with Dr Amy I had perfect service. Dr Amy was so kind and honest about what we could achieve. She really took her time with my procedure, providing reassurance throughout and I’m so happy with the results. Thank you.

Dr Amy- AMAZING!

I met with Dr Amy after having followed her on social media for about two years. I loved how she explained things in her posts and was very warm and friendly. When I saw her in real life she was just that and more! She was pure joy, such a warm and kind person. She was so attentive and listened to my needs and explained everything prior, during and after my procedure. To say I’m thrilled with my new look is an understatement. I left feeling confident and looking like an elevated version on myself. If anyone is thinking about visiting Dr Amy or anyone at The clinic I would say just give them a go as you are in safe hands! You won’t be disappointed.

Wouldn’t go anywhere else

My second visit to Skinviva and I cannot express how amazing they are. The girls are so welcoming and check you’re ok throughout procedures. I love coming for some work done but also a little natter. Sharryn is absolutely excellent, really experienced and will offer honest advice. I wanted my nose done and she said I didn’t need to as it was lovely the way it was. There is zero pressure and I trust them completely. Thank you for such a nice experience ❤️

Amazing

Had a consultation plus Dermal Fillers and Botox injections with Dr Amy today. From walking into reception to walking out the door I was made to feel very welcome. The lovely young lady (sorry, forgotten name 😁) on reception was so friendly, polite, professional an courteous, made me a lovely coffee whilst I waited to see Dr Amy. I was nervous as I'd had a bad experience in the past (not at Skinviva), however Dr Amy put my mind at rest throughout the whole consultation. She is such a lovely, friendly, gentle, understanding, compassionate courteous and professional young lady. Dr Amy took the time to listen to my concerns, explained which treatments she thought I would or wouldn't benefit from and why. Once Dr Amy started the injections she was so gentle throughout, always asking if I was ok. I can honestly say the whole experience was pain free with such a minimal amount of any discomfort. I am extremely delighted with the treatment and results so far and cannot wait for my next appointment in 4 weeks. I am that happy I have already started recommending SkinViva to my family and friends

Excellent lip fillers

I’ve been here twice for lip filler and I’ve been SO happy both times. I have naturally super fine lips and I was always worried I would get a trout pout if I had filler, but Dr Amy was marvellous and worked her magic. I now have beautiful full lips that look natural!

Wow wow wow!!

Wow wow wow!!
What an amazing training academy. I attended the cheek and lip filler course and Sharryn was teaching, the knowledge this lady has is mind blowing. Aesthetics is not just about how to do a clinical skill it is about the evidence base! Why, how, knowledge of products.
Sharryn is such a natural teacher and was so so attentive to the clients.

MY SKINVIVA EXPERIENCE

I went to skinviva last Saturday to have a consultation with Sharran. After the consultation i decided to go ahead with the treatment she advised.
I must say i was really suprised after my treatment was over as i could see the difference it made straight away.
I am really pleased with the outcome and i would
definitely go back to Sharran for more treatments in the future. i would also like to mention the girl who was on
reception last Saturday as she was very welcoming and polite. So top marks to skinviva.

Cheek fillers and botox with Sharryn

Had my treatment today with Sharryn, was a little concerned about cheek fillers but had no need to be. Sharryn is professional but very approachable and discusses all concerns in depth offering advice without any pressure. I went in with an idea what I needed and came away having had the treatment Sharryn advised with fabulous results, can't thank her enough! As usual the whole process at SkinViva was excellent from booking my appt to the treatment and follow up. Wouldn't go anywhere else and would strongly recommend them if considering treatment. I always feel tweaked and natural without it being obvious I have had fillers etc. Perfect Thank you 😊

I could not be happier with the level of friendliness, professionalism and knowledge I experienced from Dr Shazia. She listened to my concerns and gave a very well explained analysis of the treatment areas she thought would most benefit me. 100% will be back to see her and also recommending her to anyone else I know considering dermal fillers.

Tear troughs fillers - Dr Amy Law

I booked in to get my tear trough fillers done with Dr Amy at Skin viva and I am over the moon with the results! Dr Amy is brilliant, very knowledgeable and a true professional. I had been very apprehensive about getting this procedure done but Dr Amy put me at ease from the moment I got there. Absolutely delighted with the results, thank you!

Had cheek fillers done with Dr Adam

Had cheek fillers done with Dr Adam, to fix malar grooves. He told me from the go that it wouldn’t disappear but we could improve it. And he’s done just that the lines are still there but only in certain lighting it’s such an improvement I’m really happy with the results. I was able to get up to check out how my cheeks were looking and he made adjustments with the remaining filler also which I really appreciated.

I've have recently had 2 appointments…

I've have recently had 2 appointments with Sharryn. She helped me make a decision about what type of filler to have; explaining the different results that could be achieved. I felt comfortable and relaxed and the results have been amazing. I would recommend Sharryn if you are considering cheek or lip filler; I feel 10 years younger every time I look in the mirror. I will definitely return for more treatment with her in the future; her technical skills are excellent.
