Atelier Clinic, believes that following a recommended skincare regime is important for achieving the best results from the treatments. It is necessary that patients follow the skincare regime prepared by their practitioner. Results may be substandard if the recommended pre and post-care instructions, as well as the skincare and treatment regime, are not followed. The results of the treatments cannot be predicted or guaranteed and we will not offer refunds or compensation unless they are found to be at fault through a failure in the treatment process, negligence, or breach of our duty of care.
Atelier Clinic will offer appropriate support to patients who follow the advice given by their practitioners. This support will be determined through a consultation process involving the clinic's clinical team, external experts, and device or product suppliers, if necessary. Patients may request an independent assessment of their results, which will be completed internally. An external review will not be offered until all internal procedures have been exhausted.
(1) Bookings:
1. Bookings are made on a first-come-first-served basis.
2. Bookings are not confirmed until payment of the required fee is received.
3. Atelier Clinic may hold an appointment for up to 24 hours to allow fee payment, but reserves the right to reallocate unconfirmed appointments without prior notice to ensure scheduling efficiency.
(2) Fees & Charges:
1. A minimum fee (per hour) of £50 is required to secure an appointment with a therapist and a minimum fee (per hour) of £100 with a doctor. Following an appointment, the fee will be credited toward any treatment (including treatment had on the day but excluding product purchases).
2. The deposit payment for treatments or courses costing £1000 or more must be paid prior to treatment being performed.
3. All accounts are to be settled prior to leaving the clinic.
(3) No Right to Demand Treatment:
1. Booking an appointment does not guarantee treatment, as the decision to treat will depend on a medical assessment and the professional opinion of the staff.
2. The clinic cannot provide treatment if there are contraindications, allergies, or other factors that may result in an adverse outcome, including psychological concerns. If a consultation has been paid for, it may result in information and advice only.
3. The final decision to offer treatment rests with the doctor or therapist and is at their discretion.
(4) Missed Appointments:
As a busy clinic, we invest in world-class treatments, devices, and staff training, and ensure compliance with all necessary operating standards and fixed operational costs, including health and safety. While we aim to be flexible and patient-focused, we cannot operate a viable business when patients fail to attend appointments or do not give sufficient notice for changes or cancellations. Our cancellation fees help to cover the sunk cost, lost time, and overheads incurred from missed appointments.
The clinic requires patients to adhere to minimum notice periods for cancellations in order to allow the clinic to reallocate the appointment and avoid a cancellation fee.
The cancellation fee for missed appointments is equal to the fee due for the appointment that has been missed. For missed follow-up appointments for injectable treatments, there is no cancellation fee, but a fee of £50 is required to be paid to rebook a subsequent follow-up appointment.
(5) Skin Consultations:
1. Skin consultations with therapists will incur a non-refundable and non-redeemable fee of £50 for skin consultations where the patient has not undergone any treatment in the clinic.
2. Patients are entitled to complimentary follow-up every six months where at least £500 has been spent on skincare products in the same six-month period and where the patient is not undergoing any treatment in the clinic.
3. Please note we are unable to offer support to patients who have purchased skincare products elsewhere.
4. Missed skin consultations or those not rescheduled with at least 48 hours' notice, regardless of whether you have purchased your products from us or not, will incur a cancellation fee of £50.

(6) Product Purchases:
1. Products recommended by our therapists are part of a treatment protocol that will include several different products.
2. Non-adherence to a complete skincare protocol is not evidence of a product's failure to perform. The performance of our skincare products is not guaranteed and cannot be determined following short-term use.

Products returned after 14 days and before 28 days of initial purchase date will be eligible for a clinic credit.

5. Refunds or replacements will be given for physical faults with any of our products, in line with your statutory rights.

We will honour a full refund on any pre-paid course of treatments on condition that the refund request is made within 14 days of the initial purchase date and that no treatment has been undertaken or received. Refund requests between 14 and 28 days of initial purchase date will be eligible for a clinic credit on condition that no treatment has been undertaken or received.
(8) Price Quotes & Estimates:
1. Prices provided by reception team before a consultation are estimates only.
2. Only prices quoted by a doctor, therapist, Operations Manager or aesthetic practitioner during an in-person consultation will be honored within three months of issue.
3. If the treatment protocol is revised, the patient can proceed under the quoted protocol and price, but must accept that the treatment results may be affected.
(9) Late Arrivals:
1. If you arrive late for your appointment, Atelier Clinic's staff will do their best to provide full treatment, but may not be able to keep other patients waiting.
