Choosing an Aesthetics Practitioner in Surrey: What to Look For
Injectables are medical procedures, and in the UK the industry is lightly regulated. A few checks protect you.
15 April 2026 · 5 min read
When choosing an aesthetics practitioner in Surrey, check their professional registration, whether they offer a proper consultation before treatment, and how clearly they explain pricing and risks — these three things matter more than marketing or price alone.
Check their registration
Look for GMC registration if they're a doctor, or the equivalent professional register for nurses or other prescribers. You can verify a doctor's GMC registration directly in a couple of minutes.
Do they offer a real consultation?
A proper consultation involves discussing your medical history, goals, and whether treatment is actually appropriate for you — not just a quick chat before an immediate injection. If a provider skips straight to treatment on the same visit with no real assessment, that's worth questioning.
Is pricing transparent?
Look for clear starting prices and an honest explanation of what affects the final cost, rather than pressure to commit before you understand what you're paying for.
Ask about complications
A good practitioner will be upfront about risks and what happens if something doesn't go as planned — not defensive about the question.
Trust your own read of the consultation
Beyond qualifications, notice whether you felt listened to, whether questions were answered clearly, and whether there was any pressure to book on the spot. A good consultation should never feel rushed. At London Skin Bar every treatment is carried out by Dr Maral Taghadosi — read more about her training on our About page, or see why doctor-led treatment matters.
