An information resource, not a clinic.

What this site is

The London Aesthetic Clinic is a reference on non-surgical aesthetic treatment for people in London who are trying to reach a decision. It explains how each procedure works, who it suits, who it does not, what recovery involves, which complications need a written protocol, and how to judge the person proposing to treat you.

It is operated by Aesthetic Launch Lab, a UK digital specialist working in the aesthetics sector. Enquiries sent through this site are read and answered by Aesthetic Launch Lab at hello@aestheticlaunchlab.com.

What this site is not

• It is not a clinic. There are no premises, no treatment rooms and no appointment book.
• It employs no doctors, nurses, dentists or aesthetic practitioners.
• It does not give medical advice and is not a substitute for an in-person assessment by a suitably qualified and regulated practitioner.
• It does not recommend, rank, rate or endorse any clinic or practitioner.
• It takes no payment from treatment providers. No advertising, no directory, no sponsorship and no referral arrangement.

Four rules, and what each removes

No invented specifics

No practitioner, patient, price, address, opening time, review, rating, award, accreditation or result is named or described anywhere on this site, because none exists to describe. Where a page would ordinarily carry one, it explains the absence instead.

No prices

Advertising a prescription-only medicine to the public is prohibited under the Human Medicines Regulations 2012, which covers botulinum toxin. Beyond that, a figure detached from who assesses you and what happens if something goes wrong is not information. See what treatment costs.

No testimonials or before and after images

This site treats nobody, so it has no results and no patients. Publishing any would be an invention. Cosmetic photography can also be made far more flattering without editing anything, by changing lighting, angle, distance, expression and make-up alone.

No recommendations

Ranking clinics that have not been assessed would be worthless at best. Every page instead teaches the verification steps that let you assess a provider yourself, using registers held by regulators rather than logos held on websites.

Editorial approach

Pages describe mechanisms, indications, contraindications, recovery, complications and the regulatory position as it stands in the United Kingdom. Where the position is uncertain or changing, that is stated rather than smoothed over. Where a treatment cannot deliver what people commonly hope for, that is stated too.

Nothing here is medical advice. Regulation in this field has been moving for several years and may have changed since a page was written. Verify the current position with the relevant regulator and with a qualified practitioner before relying on anything.

Contact

Enquiries: hello@aestheticlaunchlab.com, handled by Aesthetic Launch Lab. Please do not send clinical details or photographs. If something has gone wrong after a procedure, contact the practitioner who treated you, or NHS 111, rather than waiting for a reply here. Full details are on the contact page.
