Clinic Terms & Policies

Right to Refuse Treatment

At Belmont Medical Skin Clinic, our patients’ safety, wellbeing, and experience are at the heart of every decision we make. We take a professional and respectful approach to every consultation and treatment.

While we do our best to accommodate and support every individual, there may be occasions where treatment is not appropriate. These include, but are not limited to, instances where a patient appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, where we have concerns about a patient’s mental or physical health that fall outside our scope of expertise, or where a patient exhibits behaviour that is abusive, threatening, or causes distress to staff or other patients. We also reserve the right to refuse treatment if a request is not clinically suitable based on the patient’s medical history or skin condition.

In such cases, we reserve the right to respectfully decline treatment. Where appropriate, we will advise the patient to consult their GP or another qualified medical professional to ensure their needs are addressed safely and effectively.

Expectations During Consultations

We aim to deliver a safe and professional clinical experience for every patient. All patients are expected to conduct themselves respectfully towards staff and other visitors. Inappropriate, aggressive, or disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated and may result in the refusal of treatment or future bookings.

Medical Disclosure & Consent

To ensure all treatments are carried out safely and effectively, patients are required to complete a full consultation and consent process before undergoing any treatment.

Patients must disclose accurate and up-to-date information regarding their medical history, medications, allergies, and relevant lifestyle factors, and inform us of any changes prior to future appointments.

Consent to treatment includes agreement to clinical photography for assessment and treatment planning purposes. These images are stored securely and are not used for marketing without your explicit written consent.

Certain medical conditions or medications may prevent us from proceeding with some treatments. We reserve the right to decline treatment if contraindications are identified.

Results are not guaranteed and will vary between individuals depending on multiple factors such as skin type, age, medical background, and aftercare adherence.

Age Restrictions

Aesthetic injectable treatments are strictly available to patients aged 18 and over. Proof of age may be requested where appropriate.

Under-18s may be eligible for certain skin treatments only with parental or legal guardian consent and must attend all appointments with a responsible adult.

Booking & Cancellation Policy

Appointments can be made online at https://booking.barespace.app/belmontmedicalsc or by phoning the clinic on 02890 131502.

We require at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Cancellations made within 48 hours may result in the loss of your deposit, withdrawal of any package discounts, or an additional charge to cover missed appointment costs.

A deposit of 25% of the total appointment cost is required at the time of booking. This may be forfeited if sufficient notice is not provided. Late cancellations or non-attendance may be charged up to 25% of the appointment value.

Payment Terms

Full payment is required on the day of your treatment unless otherwise agreed in advance. We accept payment by debit or credit card, or bank transfer. We do not currently accept cheques and we do not offer credit or payment plans outside of approved packages.

Late Arrivals

To ensure we remain on time for all patients, please arrive promptly for your scheduled appointment. If you arrive late, we may need to shorten or reschedule your treatment. Patients arriving more than 10 minutes late may forfeit their deposit and be asked to rebook.

Refunds & Results

While we are committed to providing safe and effective treatments, results can vary and cannot be guaranteed.

No refunds will be issued for completed treatments. Refunds may only apply in cases of cancellation under specific conditions and are issued at the discretion of clinic management.

For skincare purchases:

  • Products are non-refundable unless faulty, unopened and returned within 7 days with a valid receipt, or if an adverse reaction is reported and documented in clinic.

Patch Testing & Treatment Suitability

Some treatments require a patch test to ensure safety and suitability. If, following consultation or testing, a treatment is deemed unsuitable, we will not proceed. Your safety is always our priority and no treatment will be provided if it is not in your best interests.

Prescription Skincare Policy

Prescription-only skincare can only be dispensed following a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. These products are non-returnable and non-refundable once issued. Regular reviews may be required to monitor safety and ongoing suitability.

Use of Clinical Photography

Photographs taken during your treatment journey may be used for internal training, auditing, or clinical reviews. These are never shared publicly or used for marketing without your specific, written consent.

Aftercare & Patient Responsibility

Aftercare advice will be given at the end of each appointment. It is your responsibility to follow these instructions carefully, as they are designed to support optimal results and minimise risks or complications.

Failure to follow aftercare advice may negatively impact the outcome of your treatment and could increase the likelihood of adverse effects.

Emergency Protocol & Out-of-Hours Support

We do not provide emergency medical services. If you experience unexpected symptoms following treatment — such as swelling, pain, or signs of infection — you should seek appropriate care through your GP, NHS 111, or A&E, depending on the severity.

You may also email us with non-urgent concerns and we will respond during clinic hours as soon as possible.

Privacy & Data Handling (UK GDPR Compliance)

Your personal and medical data is stored securely within our cloud-based booking and record system. Only authorised clinic personnel involved in your care can access this information.

Accurate records allow us to assess treatment suitability, monitor progress, and maintain continuity of care, particularly when more than one practitioner is involved in your treatment.

We are fully compliant with UK GDPR and data protection regulations. You may request access to your records or corrections at any time.

Accessibility & Special Requirements

We aim to make your visit as comfortable as possible. If you have access needs, sensory sensitivities, or require additional support, please notify us when booking. We are committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment for all.

Complaints Procedure

We always aim to offer the highest standards of care and service. If you feel we have fallen short, please let us know — often, concerns can be quickly resolved through an open and respectful conversation.

If you remain dissatisfied, you may raise a formal complaint in writing via email or post:
Email: info@belmontmedical.co.uk

We continue to maintain the highest hygiene and infection prevention standards to protect the safety of all our patients and staff.
