I can't recommend Clare / Appearance Based Medicine highly enough. She explains everything thoroughly from the initial consultation to throughout the procedure itself. It's impossible not to feel confident and relaxed in her very capable hands. She offers a full complement of expert skincare treatments from her immaculate studio. Although I didn't feel I necessarily 'needed' treatment, I am so glad I had it! It is a real confidence booster and I will definitely be going back to Clare.

I had Botox treatment over 3 areas (forehead, frown and crow's feet), with Clare. Clare was so informative during my consultation and made sure I was comfortable before going ahead with the treatment. The treatment itself was not painful and very comfortable, and the results were fantastic - very effective but also very natural. Would highly recommend and will be back!

I was so happy with the treatment I received from Clare. She made me feel relaxed and comfortable throughout my appointment.

I thought Clare made me feel completely at ease and explained every thing to me, she is very approachable and I am extremely happy with the results. I will definitely be coming again for further treatments. I am also really impressed that while her business has been in lockdown that she has been a volunteer vaccinator locally.

Fran Taylor ★★★★★

Very thoughtful and methodical. Pays brilliant attention to detail. Not rushed. Very professional and results are fantastic

Alexandra Macmichael ★★★★★

Clare was informative and reassuring and gave me time to explore my expectations around treatments.

Emma Conybeare ★★★★★

I was highly recommended by my mum that has been coming here for over 16 years! Clare is great highly professional and she has done a great job with my dermal fillers. Love the work she does and helping me gain back my confidence. :)

charlotte ellis ★★★★★

Clare has been advising me with skin care support since I first contacted her 14 years ago with very low self-esteem as a result of acne scarring. My skin has changed beyond belief thanks to Clare and she continues to support me as it changes again due to menopause and ageing. I value her advice and regards her highly both as a professional and now as a friend.

Laura Buggy ★★★★★

Claire is an expert in her field Knowledgeable supportive and a true professional with the highest standards. I would recommend her for aesthetic treatments.

Ella Collins ★★★★★

I have been going to Clare for over ten years now, because she is a qualified nurse and is very thorough and caring, it helps that her results are amazing too. I have been having Botox and skin fillers & more recently profhilo. I have received many comments over the years that I look fresh faced, nobody assumes that I have had the said treatments, so when they become aware they have also booked in for treatments with Clare.

Maria Dickinson ★★★★★

Claire is always professional and really knowledgable about new treatments. I've been going to Claire for a few years now and she is, by far, the best practitioner I have seen over the last 15 years of treatments.

Annie Harris ★★★★★

Very pleased with the Botox treatments. Have been coming to Clare for maybe 3/4 years now, never had a bad experience. Looking forward to having my lip fillers done soon also, always very happy with the results.

Carmel Grant ★★★★★

As always - professional and reassuring especially in these strange times and again as always very happy with the result!

Judy K ★★★★★

It was really nice to meet with you via the video consultation last week. The most incredible breakthrough for me is to find a sunscreen that works! Previously, even with hat, sunglasses, parasol and trying to keep out of the sun I would be red and burning. Now with the Helio sunscreen, I look normal! Like I do in the Autumn and Winter. It really, really works and no reaction. All other products in the past few years have been a fine line between being a sunscreen but also having some reaction to their ingredients. At some point in the not too far distant future - though maybe next year - I hope to return to the TV and Film work. I used to do a lot of period drama roles and you cannot be sunburnt or brown if you wish to get chosen. So thank you for the opportunity of finding this product. It is a life- changer for me in the Summer and late-Spring. I am also using the Newa device and very much like the results. Easy to use ??? as you said, you just have to put the time aside to follow the routine. It is great to have a home use RF product not just for the situation now but for convenience in the future.???

Moira Byrom ★★★★★

Clare was very friendly and professional. Talked through everything that was going to happen and answered every single question I had. I would have no dramas in recommending clare, hence the 5 stars

Julie Turner ★★★★★

Clare is a professional practitioner who is an expert in her field. I would not go anywhere else for my treatments.

Julie Turner ★★★★★

I would not go to anybody else for my treatments. Clare is a true professional and I would highly recommend her services. If I don't see you before hand have a Happy Christmas and wonderful New Year

Anneke Marais ★★★★★

Had wrinkle relaxing treatment, best I've ever had, very natural effect, Claire is very professional and has an eye for detail, would highly recommend.

Nicky Miles ★★★★★

Went to see Clare with some blocked pores and she quietly suggested I saw my GP about a tiny patch of dry skin under my eye. Thanks to her I had it confirmed that it was in fact skin cancer and duly had it removed! Can't thank Clare enough, would highly recommend!

S Elliott ★★★★★

I can 100% recommend Claire, she is a fully qualified experienced nurse and you will be in caring expert hands. Her aim is to achieve a natural look, I want to look like me just a younger me. No one has noticed that I've had anything done, I just look better. One friend asked if I'd been out in the sun as I looked well, I obviously hadn't, she had noticed a change but couldn't work out what it was exactly. I'm really pleased with the results. Thank you Claire.

Kelly Vathi ★★★★★

I had my facial thread veins done with Claire. I'm so satisfied with the result as it means I can finally go makeup free (full coverage foundation). I followed her after-care instructions diligently and although it took a while to see the final results, I can say it was definitely worth it. Claire is a consummate professional and would be more than happy to see her in future for other treatments. Thank you Claire!

Sonia Kumar ★★★★★

Very professional and friendly. My skin is so much better! I have a good regime now that I know works and have a much better idea about how to seriously take care of my skin thanks to Clare. My favourite is the 'Fire and Ice' facial which has done wonders for my skin!

Jan Taylor ★★★★★

I love Clare and have been going to her for my Botox for over 10 years. Absolutely brilliant, she relaxes you so you don't worry about anything, she is very informative and gives you straight forward answers to anything you may have a question about. Highly recommended.

Sim Baryar ★★★★★

Claire is amazing! So professional and excellent service. Definitely recommend appearance based medicine :) Thanks Claire

Amanda S ★★★★★

I have been having treatment from Clare for the past 16 years and totally trust her. She is highly skilful and professional and aware of all the latest treatments available. I have Botox and fillers every 5 months approximately and can,t imagine life without them ( or without Clare !!)

julia hepburn ★★★★★

Clare was friendly and professional . I was made to feel really relaxed and informed . This was my first prodecure and it was a fantastic experience . The treatment was virtually painless and the results were brilliant . Really happy ????

Laura Austin ★★★★★

Thank you Claire! I am so incredibly happy with my new nose. You made feel comfortable at all time, and respected your professional and honest opinion. I will definitely be back to see you in the future

Julie Turner ★★★★★

As a nurse myself, I would not hesitate to recommend Clare as a expert aesthetic practitioner whom I can only praise for her meticulous practice. Clare's knowledge of anatomy & physiology of the face & neck are excellent. All treatments are thoroughly researched into by Clare, explained and medical history taken before commencement of any procedure. Clare will always give advice post procedure she is the only practitioner I would recommend for treatments.

Amanda Marcus Carr ★★★★★

Clare is approachable and friendly and always on time with appointments. She was careful to explain both the risks as well as the benefits of the procedure to make sure I fully understood what I was paying for and she does not oversell. Treatment itself was carried out very professionally and I felt reassured by the fact that Clare is a fully-trained, registered nurse. Aftercare notes were thorough and a free check-up to ensure there are no complications was also very good. I would recommend a consultation with Clare before you choose anyone else.

Carmel Grant ★★★★★

I've been seeing Clare for several years for various treatments - Botox, fillers, facials etc and I have always been pleased with the results. What I particularly like about Clare is that she takes the time to listen and understand my concerns and advises on the best treatment. She will also advise against treatments if she thinks they will not meet 'unrealistic expectations'. I was really pleased with the threadlift procedure I had a couple of years ago and would consider this again. Clare makes you feel very relaxed - she???s very professional, you never feel rushed and I trust her completely to advise on the best treatment for a specific area.

Sanda Morar ★★★★★

Appearance Based Medicine is one of the best provider of beauty services I ever used. Claire gave me many treatments from Botox, fillers, ice and fire and she remodelled my face perfectly.It was amazing as now my face is not only lifted and contoured but it is really symmetrical which was not the case before. That takes real talent and patience. Claire always explains the treatment and she would not perform a treatment if she thinks it will not provide the expected results. But she always finds another solution. What is not to really love about it? I strongly recommend Claire. You will be in the most safe and talented hands.

Judith Cocking ★★★★★

Clare is a true professional. She is very highly qualified and is also a trainer of other practitioners in aesthetic beauty. If you are considering any type of aesthetic treatment, Clare should be your first port of call. Appearance Based Medicine is not just for people looking for Botox and Fillers. The Fire and Ice Facial is fantastic for rejuvinating tired skin and one of my favourites. Whatever you're considering I would highly recommend having a consultation with Clare.

Clare Clarke ★★★★★

Another wonderful Fire & Ice Facial with Dermabrasion last week - this week my skin feels amazing! And some expert advice on skincare for my particular skin type. So pleased to have found someone so knowledgeable in my area. Thank you :)

Felicity Webb ★★★★★

Really happy with my experience and absolutely love the iS Clinical skincare range. Thank you.

Dawn Bowrey ★★★★★

Great results and service would use again if needed .

Sonia Kumar ★★★★★

Claire is very professional and knowledgable. She has helped me understand my skin better and her advice has been invaluable. I am now using products that are excellent for my skin and I feel better for it!

Vanessa Whitaker ★★★★★

I had fillers for the first time and I was very nervous. Clare was great and understanding and put me at ease. Clare is such a professional and she answered all my questions thoroughly. Clare has a very steady hand and explained everything she was doing step by step. The results are amazing and I am really happy. I will only go to Clare for any future skin procedures and wouldn't go to anyone else.

J D ★★★★★

Clare is so knowledgeable regarding the best way to achieve a natural look. Fantastic service and really pleased with results. Highly recommend.

Laura Edwards ★★★★★

Clare made me feel so welcome and relaxed for my first appointment. Clare only recommended treatments that she knew would make a genuine difference. I will definitely be back. Thank you Clare x

Sylvia Arnold ★★★★★

On last visit Clare noticed a lesion on my scalp and suggested that I got a further opinion,for which I was very grateful. It was cancerous and successfully removed by a skin specialist cancer surgeon. Thankfully ,today all went well.

Nicole Clark ★★★★★

Felt really happy with my treatment, clare made me feel at ease the whole treatment and afterwards reassured and looked after me when I had a lot of swelling. Really happy with my result and would definitely recommend and be returning!

Karla H ★★★★★

I have been seeing Clare for just over a year and recommend her highly. She takes detailed notes and spends time explaining the treatment and the aftercare and expected results. I was impressed with the aftercare service provided and am delighted with the results of Profhilo and of the Bocouture wrinkle relaxing treatment, the Fire and Ice medical facial is also a regular must have! If you are looking for an experienced professional service then this Nurse Prescriber is the person to see.

O Palmer ★★★★★

Amazing as always. Left feeling so much better and feeling fab. Would recommend Claire to everyone. She's the best in the business.

Lucy Douglas ★★★★★

Claire is great and makes you feel really relaxed, always makes sure you're as well informed as possible. The treatments are also exceptional.

Penny Jackson ★★★★★

Very thorough consultation medically well trained. Made me feel confident and not patronised.

Gill Jennings ★★★★★

Clare is an extremely competent, knowledgable and supportive practitioner. She explains each treatment so you know exactly what to expect during the procedure and what results to expect. She makes me feel informed and as relaxed as possible. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who wants to look 'better' than they currently do. I will certainly be returning to her for future treatments.

Vikki Scantlebury ★★★★★

Really pleased with the treatment and advice given by Clare who listened and did exactly what I asked for. Would recommend Clare to anyone.

Gemma Pybus ★★★★★

I have spoken to Clare McLoughlin on several occasions about the condition of my skin, and have received clear and positive guidance every single time - Clare is a knowledgeable, professional and caring individual, thanks for all your help!

Mj Tomori ★★★★★

I visited for a non surgical consultation. Clare was absolutely lovely and very honest with me. Despite wanting work on my nose, clare said I didn't need it and to really think carefully. Anybody who is considering non surgical work should visit here, they clearly don't carry out procedures just because or for the money. They genuinely care about their patients.

Anonymous ★★★★★

I was nervous to consider aesthetic treatments, however, the treatments I have received to date have been explained to me me in full, including side effects. I have experienced a highly professional, skilled and well informed approach and have been very pleased with the results. I am moving forward slowly and have a realistic plan which I hope will improve skin condition and reduce some lines. I am happy in my own skin!

Anonymous ★★★★★

I had Botox treatment with clare and found it a good experience. I had no pain and the treatment was very successful . It made a great improvement to my lines and it made me feel much happier with my skin.

Jenny Wallace ★★★★★

Very high quality of treatments and also a vast range of aesthetic treatment available. Highly recommended- a true professional.

Lesley Conybeare ★★★★★

I am 50 years old mother of three grown up children living in Hertfordshire. I work in a position where my appearance has always been very important. Earlier in my life I suffered from adult acne which left me with some skin damage exacerbated by sun and antibiotics. My skin specialist Dr Ravi Ratanavel recommended Clare to me and I have been seeing her for over ten years. I have always been impressed by Clare's friendly professionalism and she has always put me at ease, especially in the early days when I was unsure of the processes. My initial course of derma abrasion and chemical skin peel produced superb results and I now have a smoother and more even skin tone. I have since had a consultation and wrinkle relaxing treatments to smooth my deep frown lines and fillers to soften a few lines. Now that Clare has moved to a new location I shall keep following. I don???t see me changing to anyone else in the future. I will always recommend Clare as I know she is very professional and my history will be kept secret.

Anonymous ★★★★★

Clare is very professional, she makes you feel relaxed and confident. The treatment is not only cosmetic, it builds up your self-esteem.

Ros Kendrick ★★★★★

Prior to seeing Clare I had never experienced any aesthetic treatments. I approached Clare because she had medical training and bona fide qualifications that inspired trust. Two years after my second child was born (2004) I started seeing Clare , initially for lip fillers. I was so delighted with the subtle effect that I felt confident enough to have a consultation for wrinkle relaxing treatments as I had deep wrinkles on my forehead. The transformation was immediate and I have been treated by Clare ever since, more than happy with the way she keeps my face looking fresh but not ???processed. Her insistence that her work is about looking natural yet the best it can be reinforces my conviction that she has my best interests at heart. I recently had lip fillers again after a 6 year break and am utterly delighted with the results. This enhancement will be part of my regular treatments alongside the wrinkle relaxing treatments. I cannot recommend Clare highly enough for beautiful , not extreme, facial enhancement. I trust her implicitly with my own appearance and would be happy to recommend her to anyone looking to improve their own appearance.

Helen Fawcett ★★★★★

I am a GP, and previously had my consultations for wrinkle relaxing treatments at a local clinic.I first met Clare when I trained in Aesthetics myself, and she was my trainer. I was very impressed with her skill and knowledge and began seeing her privately for my treatments. I have been performing wrinkle relaxing and filler treatments on my clients for some years now, but I still go to Clare for my consultations and treatments, and I think that is a testament to her skill and professionalism. She does my upper and lower face wrinkle relaxing and cheek, and mid face augmentation with fillers. Clare's results always exceed expectations, and I'm always amazed at how great she makes me look! I will continue to have my treatments with her and would highly recommend her to friends.

Sophie Shotter ★★★★★

I first met Clare during my basic aesthetics training at Cosmetic Courses, where she is an advanced trainer. Her teaching was excellent and I booked for several more sessions with Clare in more advanced techniques to become more confident and to be able to offer a wider range of treatments. The tips, tricks and advice Clare gave me during those sessions have stuck with me. They have taught me the skills to offer a very personal and effective treatment to my patients. I'm a firm believer in knowing how the treatments I offer feel, and there is no one I would trust more than Clare to treat me. I had always wanted more definition to my upper lip, whilst it had volume I just felt the edge was a little flat. Clare has done a lovely job, no-one would guess I had filler in my lips, but I can tell the difference. Subtle but so effective. I love them! Thanks x

Nicole Tudor-Williams ★★★★★

Clare is an outstanding practitioner who is sensitive to your individual needs. She promotes her various products with a high level of knowledge but you never feel pressurised into trying other products. She is extremely skilful and patient when treating you. I would highly recommend ABM to anyone considering any non-surgical cosmetic treatment.

Mandy King ★★★★★

I was nervous upon first visit, but was greeted with a friendly and professional atmosphere. It's still early days but am already starting to see and feel positive results.

Maria Lusardi ★★★★★

I feel compelled to write about the great results I have received from Clare McLoughlin because I was so surprised at such a great service and resulting positive effects from her treatments. In my line of work, it is so important to look good and I have to say, I do. I have had consultations and wrinkle relaxing treatments for a number of years and have used a number of practitioners because I was never quite as happy with the results as I expected. They didn't seem to listen to what I was looking for. I was then introduced to Clare through a mutual friend and decided to try her out. I must admit that I was expecting a similar experience to my previous encounters with aesthetic practitioners but how wrong I was. Clare spent time with me to find out the exact results I was looking for and I immediately felt confident. Not only is her bedside manner excellent, but she also has a way of delivering the injections with very little pain. I was most impressed that she actually said no to a request because it wouldn't have worked in my case. That really built my trust in her. Clare takes a real interest in how I feel and what I am looking for. I recently had a thread face lift because I trust her so much and the results are subtly impressive. I don't feel that I have changed, just look smoother and softer in my face. So people tell me I look great. Nobody would know that I have had such a treatment, which is just what I wanted. I will stay with Clare as I have found the professional and personal solution to my beauty needs in her, and I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Anonymous ★★★★★

I have been increasingly concerned about my 'permanent frown' for years and eventually saw Claire for Botox. The results are brilliant and completely natural, I am delighted.

Anonymous ★★★★★

I was really impressed with Clare from my initial consultation through to the treatment. It never felt rushed and I immediately felt assured with her approach. She is obviously very competent in her field with extensive experience. She was highly recommended and now I understand why.

Carmel Traynor ★★★★★

Having never had any kind of cosmetic procedure previously...all i wanted was some facts, information and some guidance as to what might best suit my needs. I needn't have worried...Clare was very reassuring, factual and gentle in my consultation. I left feeling informed and looking forward to my treatment. During the treatment i was very relaxed as i had been fully briefed on the process...and the aftercare was fantastic. This company delivers the professionalism, care and quality one would expect when considering any kind of procedure. This combined with sound knowledge, processes and a genuine attitude of wanting to give exceptional customer service, make this THE place to go when considering any type of product or procedure.

annie harris ★★★★☆

Clare is so professional in her approach and takes the time to listen well and take into consideration your views and wishes for achieved outcomes. I 100% will be sticking with Clare for all future treatments.

I was warmly met and made to feel that my concerns were being taken seriously. I was talked through the treatment and the products without feeling under any pressure. I felt valued as a client.  The receptionist was warm and friendly, the reception area uncluttered and welcoming. The clinic was immaculate and the Cosmetic Nurse was gentle in her approach and highly knowledgeable about treatments and products.

I wanted advice on my adult acne. Having never suffered from spots it was really getting me down. I have already seen improvements in my skin based on the skin regime recommended and it has only been a couple of weeks since my consultation. I am very impressed with the service

Thanks for your feedback Vicki - so pleased that you saw visible improvements and had a good experience - look forward to seeing you again soon.

Charlotte Poole ★★★★★

My skin has never felt so healthy and blemish free since I started using the products prescribed by Clare. I was relieved to discover that my skin wasn't as damaged as I felt it was and that there was something practical I could use before I needed a chemical peel. Clare took the time to listen to my story and made me feel like there was someone who was interested in making me look and feel my best. Thanks so much Clare

Clare Clarke ★★★★★

Had a fabulous Fire & Ice Medical Facial on Friday - really great and with some dermabrasion to prepare my skin before the facial, my skin felt so soft and clean and new afterwards. I especially liked the 'ice' part of the facial which was the cooling phase. As a novice to such treatments, Clare explained everything thoroughly and put me at my ease - thank you! :)

Gemma Pybus ★★★★★

Thanks so much to Clare for the amazing recommendation of iS clinical products suited to my skin - my skin feels amazing!

Sanda Morar ★★★★★

I had a complete intracell treatment, botox, fillers, facials. The results are amazing. I had very bad acne scaring that is now almost gone. The skin looks very young as in my 30s and I am now in my 50s. Clare has reconstructed my forehead from a very wrinkly and uneven to a perfect looking one. The botox always lasts almosts 4 months. Thank you Clare

Joseph Schlöe ★★★★★

I had never considered botox for a very specific (non cosmetic) treatment of my condition. A friend recommended I speak to Clare McLoughlin of Appearance Based Medicine. I was amazed at the outcome and completely delighted by the level of professionalism and Clare's sense of the "right thing". Her manner and level of professionalism would lead me to return and to recommend to anyone who is unsure. You will be well advised and professionally treated.

Excellent service from all the team. I work long hours and Clare and her team have exceeded my expectations, always polite and friendly when re-arranging my appointments.

Tricia W ★★★★★

I first went to Clare for Sclerotherapy in 2004 to treat spider veins on my thigh. She has always been very professional but with a caring and empathetic attitude. This has enabled me to have complete confidence in the medical side of my treatment. As Clare's business has grown and I now see her regularly for other treatments which gives me confidence that I look my best. She is now in lovely premises in Marlow and her team have managed to keep the personal touch and make you feel special. I wish them every success in the future.

Nikki ★★★★★

I have complete confidence in Clare as an experienced empathetic practitioner. Her results are natural, leaving me looking and feeling confident.

Jackie B ★★★★★

I wanted my lips plumped but was always worried they would look unnatural an meeting clare she assured me thats not what she wanted to do + only would go with a natural look, I had them done + I love them. I wake in the morning hoping they look as they did the day before and they do. Big thank you. Jackie

Samantha Murphy ★★★★★

I had a lovely Fire and Ice facial with Clare which left my skin feeling amazing. My skin was quite dehydrated and felt dry and dull before the treatment. Clare was very professional and explained exactly what she was going to do and what she was going to apply to improve the texture and overall look and feel of my skin. She started by taking photographs and analysing my skin with the help of a very clever machine, linked to her computer which was able to depict my skin age.....I was glad to see my skin came out slightly younger than my chronological age!! The treatment began with dermal abrasion to remove any dead skin cells, followed by two masks, finishing finally with a moisturiser.The results left my skin feeling firmer, softer and more radiant. The treatment was not only beneficial to my skin but with the tranquil music playing in the background it was totally relaxing too. Overall the perfect way to great skin in just an hour!! I'll definitely be back again soon. Thanks Clare

Victoria Hunter ★★★★★

I have always been a bit dubious about having any cosmetic procedure but as a permanent frowner I wanted to be frown free and Clare was recommended to me. She instantly put me at ease and was very informative. Also knowing all of her qualifications and experience gave me confidence as you hear so many horror stories out there. In a nutshell Clare has provided me with great natural looking results and I highly recommend her to others.

Sanda Morar ★★★★★

I have known Clare for many years and she not only makes me feel good, but she also makes me feel in very safe hands, Clare has a real talent to use the right treatment at the right time. Her clinic is awesome and the opening time very generous and accommodating. I also put my (adult) daughter in her hands for acne scarring treatment, and I have no hesitation that Clare does the right thing for her skin. I sincerely recommend Clare.

Sandra ★★★★★

I have been in Clare's hands for many years and I not only look good but I always feel safe and taken care off. Clare has a real talent in selecting the right treatment at the right time, her clinic is excellent and the opening times could not be more generous. I had botox, fillers, intracell and specialist home treatment kits. I sincerely recommend Clare, talent and treatments.

R Rutland ★★★★★

Very pleased with treatment & results. Clare's Thorough Aftercare advice following treatment a godsend, very reassuring & professional. No hesitation to recommend.

Samantha Murphy ★★★★★

As a beautician I have good knowledge of skincare. My consultation began with a skin analysis using a machine which showed skin damage not visible to the eye. I was pleased to see that my regular use of sunscreen had paid off!!! I had booked in to have the Fire and Ice medical facial to resurface and rehydrate my skin. The results were beautifully soft, smooth, radiant skin. Clare was professional and made me feel very relaxed and comfortable, I was made even more relaxed by the gentle background music. I did not feel pressured to buy any products and left with a goodie bag of samples to try at home. All in all a very pleasant experience and I will definitely be back!!!

carmel ★★★★☆

Being new to this industry and the various procedures available, I can not rate Clare highly enough. She offered me facts and information based upon what I presented her with. I had always avoided approaching such services because of the horror stories and a reluctance to be greeted by over the top sales people. Clare is medically trained, professional and I came to trust her sufficiently to have a treatment. For which I was delighted with the results. As a mother of two, safety and results were my priority. Clare excelled in these areas and I would gladly recommend her as a practitioner. Brilliant. Thank you

Sarah Hill ★★★★★

Very knowledgable and professional

Orla Palmer ★★★★★

Very informative, very knowledgable. Thoroughly recommend Clare

Cara Bonaventura ★★★★★

Excellent professional service, very pleased with my new lips!!!

Lesley Conybeare ★★★★★

I have been having treatment with Clare for over 10 years and can thoroughly recommend her. She is extremely experienced, and her results are fantastic, and above all she is kind and friendly, she has become a good friend.

Ruth Atkins ★★★★★

Excellent treatment, very professional. Would recommend Appearance Based Medicine. As Registered Nurse myself I felt very reassured that Clare was very knowledgeable and experienced in the treatments I received, it was obvious to me that she had my interests at heart all the way through. Not only did Clare tell me which treatments would benefit me personally she explained why others were not appropriate. Good clear explanations given throughout. Thank you.

Louise Conant ★★★★★

Clare is patient and kind, and I value her advise and high standard of practice and experience.

Charles Farleigh ★★★★★

Removed all my nerves and provided an outstanding service. Highly recommended

Ella Collins ★★★★★

I don't normally write reviews but Clare McLoughlin has been a life saver! I came to see her after having a disastrous treatment at another Marlow clinic where the person bruised me badly, and worse dropped my right brow which left me looking lopsided like I'd had a stroke, I was gutted! Lovely, lovely Clare was so knowledgeable and was able to sort me out. (I hadn't realised that Clare has been teaching wrinkle relaxing injections and skin fillers for many years). Anyway, Clare did some advanced technique injecting and I was amazed that she was able to bring my brow back up. I would never go anywhere else now. I have had subsequent treatments with her including skin needling, further wrinkle relaxing injections and skin fillers to my lips and cheeks. I am having a peel next, and my leg veins treated this autumn. I can recommend Clare because she knows what she is doing, actually cares about you, and always makes me look and feel great without anyone knowing that I have had a treatment. When I have a treatment with Clare I come away full of confidence. Ella Collins Bourne End

I have been a client for about seven years and Clare has taken at least that number of years off my face. I have never looked like I have ''had anything done'' and she is the consummate professional. I have used fillers, Botox and Dermabrasion and I recommend her treatments without reservation.

Maria Lusardi No atings

I feel compelled to write about the great results I have received from Clare Mcloughin because I was so surprised at such a great service and resulting positive effects from her treatments. In my line of work, it is so important to look good and I have to say, I do. I have had Botox for a number of years and have used a number of practitioners because I was never quite as happy with the results as I expected. They didn’t seem to listen to what I was looking for. I was then introduced to Clare through a mutual friend and decided to try her out. I must admit that I was expecting a similar experience to my previous encounters with Botox practitioners but how wrong I was. Clare spent time with me to find out the exact results I was looking for and I immediately felt confident. Not only is her bedside manner excellent, but she also has a way of delivering the injections with very little pain. I was most impressed that she actually said no to a request because it wouldn’t have worked in my case. That really built my trust in her. Clare takes a real interest in how I feel and what I am looking for. I recently had a thread face lift because I trust her so much and the results are subtly impressive. I don’t feel that I have changed, just look smoother and softer in my face. So people tell me I look great. Nobody would know that I have had such a treatment, which is just what I wanted. I will stay with Clare as I have found the professional and personal solution to my beauty needs in her, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Maria Lusardi Business Consultant Marlow

I first met Clare during my basic aesthetics training at Cosmetic Courses, where she is an advanced trainer. Her teaching was excellent and I booked for several more sessions with Clare in more advanced techniques to become more confident and to be able to offer a wider range of treatments. The tips, tricks and advice Clare gave me during those sessions have stuck with me. They have taught me the skills to offer a very personal and effective treatment to my patients. I’m a firm believer in knowing how the treatments I offer feel, and there is no one I would trust more than Clare to treat me. I had always wanted more definition to my upper lip – whilst it had volume I just felt the edge was a little flat. Clare has done a lovely job – no-one would guess I had filler in my lips, but I can tell the difference. Subtle but so effective. I love them!

Helen Fawcett No atings

I am a GP, and previously had my Botox treatments done at a local clinic.I first met Clare when I trained in Aesthetics myself, and she was my trainer. I was very impressed with her skill and knowledge and began seeing her privately for my treatments. I have been performing Botox and filler treatments on my clients for some years now, but I still go to Clare for my treatments, and I think that is a testament to her skill and professionalism. She does my upper and lower face Botox and cheek, and mid face augmentation with fillers. Her results always exceed expectations, and I'm always amazed at how great she makes me look! I will continue to have my treatments with her and would highly recommend her to friends.

Ros Kendrick No atings

Prior to seeing Clare I had never experienced any aesthetic treatments. I approached Clare because she had medical training and bonafide qualifications that inspired trust. Two years after my second child was born (2004) I started seeing Clare , initially for lip fillers. I was so delighted with the subtle effect that I felt confident enough to try Botox as I had deep wrinkles on my forehead. The transformation was immediate and I have been treated by Clare ever since, more than happy with the way she keeps my face looking fresh but not ''processed. Her insistence that her work is about looking natural yet the best it can be reinforces my conviction that she has my best interests at heart. I recently had lip fillers again after a 6 year break and am utterly delighted with the results. This enhancement will be part of my regular treatments alongside the Botox.

Leslie Conybeare No atings

I am a 50 year old mother of three grown up children, living in Marsworth, Tring, Herts. I work at Laura Ashley and my appearance has always been very important to me. From the age of 30, I’ve suffered with adult acne and was left with skin damage from the sun and antibiotics. My skin specialist Dr Ravi Ratnavel recommended me to Clare, who I’ve been seeing for over 10 years. When I first met Clare, I thought she was professional and she put me at ease straight away as this was all very new to me. We decided on Dermabrasion with a chemical peel and after a course of treatment, I was very impressed with the results. I now have a smoother and more even skin tone. As I became more trusting with Clare, I started having Botox in my forehead, as I had quite deep frown lines, and as I became even more trusting and brave, I also had fillers to soften a few lines. Whenever Clare has changed to a new location, so have I - and will keep following! I don’t see me changing to anyone else in the future. I will always recommend Clare as I know she is very professional and my history will be kept secret.

Clare really is a safe pair of hands and when I have someone doing something as important as administering Botox, that is vital. She asks questions and listens to exactly what I want. The results are the best I have had which means I trust her totally and I highly recommend her.

I can totaly recommend Mrs Clare McLoughlin. She is an accredited practitioner with Save Face. She explained me very prefessional and kindly everything about Platelet rich Plasma and dermal fillers.
