Are you CQC registered?

​

Yes, we are CQC registered and you can find our updated status here. The CQC monitors, inspects and regulates healthcare providers to ensure they meet strict standards of safety, quality, and care. This includes medical aesthetic clinics that carry out regulated medical activities, such as treatments involving prescription only medicines or certain advanced procedures.

CQC registration sets a medical aesthetic clinic apart because it demonstrates medical legitimacy, accountability, and patient-first care.

Here’s why it’s important:

• Higher standards of patient safety CQC registered clinics must follow robust clinical governance, infection control, safeguarding, and risk management protocols, far beyond basic cosmetic regulations.

• Proper medical oversight

• Registration confirms that treatments are delivered under appropriate medical leadership, with qualified professionals, clear prescribing pathways, and emergency procedures in place.

• Accountability and transparency

• CQC clinics are inspected and held accountable. If standards drop, action is taken. Clinics without CQC registration are not subject to this level of independent oversight.

• Ethical and regulated practice

What is your best selling treatment?

 

The DermaFrac® 4-in-1 Facial. So popular that we have 3 machines to be able to take group bookings! This is microdermabrasion (mechanical exfoliation), microneedling (0.5mm for proven skin rejuvenation), serum induction therapy (bespoke serums for every indication and/or skin goal) & LED Light Therapy.

This treatment provides a phenomenal hydrated glow the day after treatment, then you see improvements in all areas as your body begins to lay down new collagen fibroblasts and elastin over the next 3 to 4 weeks All this with minimal downtime (think post work-out redness for between 15 minutes and a few hours, rather than tomato red for days!)

At £175 for an hours treatment, this really is the most economic of real life, real time results skin treatments. 

We have appointments from 7.30am until 9.30pm for all you city workers!

​

​

Where do you source the products used in clinic and sold to patients from?

 

We purchase all of our products used in clinic, or skincare sold to our patients from approved and licensed pharmacists (Church Pharmacy & Health Xchange Pharmacy) and direct from the approved distributor or direct from the company when considering skincare (SkinCeuticals, Meder, SkinBetter Science, ZO, Obagi, Reform Skincare, Epionce, Totally Derma, Advanced Nutrition Programme...)

​

​

Will I look natural?

 

At SE1 Medical Aesthetics, our ethos is clear and simple to understand, we only wish our patients to leave clinic looking completely natural, a refreshed, rejuvenated and hydrated version of themselves at their age. We do not endorse trying to match unrealistic expectations. We are PRO-AGE champions, ageing is a privilege and we are here to offer our patients only the best in safe and natural options with a focus on regenerative medicine, rather than traditional 'fillers.'

​

​

Which treatment is right for me?

 

The first time you book an appointment with one of our expert aesthetic doctors, you will realise that this appointment is titled a 'New Consultation.' You cannot book directly for a specific treatment as we are regulated by the CQC and the GMC and we are firm believers in ethical and expert led practice. Only after carrying out a thorough consultation can it be decided what your treatment plan may be, or, if in fact you are even the correct candidate for treatment, based on an overall health & mental health assessment. The doctor will take time to discuss your goals and analyse your anatomy and skin condition. You can then have treatment same day if it is deemed safe by the doctor carrying out your consultation.

​

​​

Are aesthetic treatments safe?

​

When performed by trained medical professionals using approved products, aesthetic treatments are considered safe. As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks, which will be discussed during your consultation.

​

​

How do I book a specific treatment as you don't have them listed on your online booking page?

​

We run a booking system that allows you to book very few doctor led services directly, these being only Morpheus8, microneedling over 0.75mm & Lumecca IPL. For every other injectable treatment with our doctors, you can book either a 'New patient consultation with an aesthetic doctor' or a 'Return patient treatment appointment with an aesthetic doctor.' This is because we believe that for our injectable treatments, every patient should have a prior consultation which includes a health assessment and also an opportunity for the doctor to manage the patient's expectations - is the choice of treatment suitable for that patient?

New patients always have a thorough consultation and can then have same day treatment, if deemed safe and appropriate by their doctor.

Return patients book an hour slot with the aesthetic doctor, they mention the treatment/s they would like to be considered for during that appointment during the booking process so that their doctor is aware.

Every patient is different. A consultation allows us to assess your suitability, understand your goals, discuss options, and create a personalised treatment plan that’s safe, appropriate, and delivers the best results. This ensures you receive the right treatment, not just a booked one.
