Over the moon
After just 3 appointments with Dr Shazia, I am absolutely over the moon with the amazing results she has miraculously achieved. The menopause sucked the life out of my face but Dr Shazia has worked her magic and now I have the confidence back that I lost.I hated looking in the mirror, now I can’t stop looking at the fantastic results. At first I honestly thought I was maybe wasting my money, but it’s the best money I have ever spent, it is expensive but worth every penny. I have wasted so much money on useless creams and potions over the years. I am 51 years old and wish I had started treatment a good few years ago, saying that I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Dr Shazia.

Dr Mona was amazing
Dr Mona was amazing. She talked me through everything and has a real eye for detail. She put me at ease and explained everything as she went along. I'm so pleased with the result, it's even better than I ever thought it would be! I would definitely recommend and will see her in the future.

Lip filler Dr Mona
Dr Mona was so warm, bright, interactive and lovely! She corrected my lip asymmetry, whilst enhancing my lips for a natural pouty look. It was my first time getting filler, so I was very cautious and skeptical. But I am so happy with the end result, that looks subtle yet so beautiful! All thanks to Dr Monas amazing technique and rich expertise ❤️. I felt complete trust while working with her!

DR Amy - Thankyou so much.
I am over the moon with my results.
This is the first and last place I will go to get my fillers. If you are thinking of having work done, please go to skinviva!
Now I’m off to stare at my new nose 😬

Fab results...
After thinking about having treatment for the the last few years or so I finally decided to go for it. Skinviva is the perfect place to go. Very professional, extremely clean with a relaxed atmosphere as soon as you walk in. I've had my treatment over a space of 3 months starting with Dr Rebecca and finishing with Dr Amy. Both are so very friendly and professional and the end results are fantastic. I now feel more confident and actually have cheeks ! Highly recommend both these doctors if you are a first timer like me who was initially quite nervous about the whole thing

Dr shazia is...… amazing
I had a fantastic experience with Dr Shazia. She listened to my issues especially about a small scar on my cheek that caused me lots of anxiety. I had a few procedures and she communicated with me constantly throughout. I felt at ease and in very professional hands. The result is outstanding. Im so pleased with all the work she has done. I will definitely go to Dr Shazia again. Thank you.

Lip filler with Dr Mona
I recently had 0.5ml of lip filler from Dr Mona and the experience was absolutely above and beyond what I expected! This was my first time having filler so I was a little nervous and unsure, but Dr Mona was SO kind and informative throughout the whole process which put me at ease. The results are so natural, just as I was hoping for - i’m so happy with my lips now! I will definitely be back for a top up with Dr Mona a few months down the line, I can’t thank her enough!

Skinviva is my favourite place to get my lips done. Always friendly, clean, professional, and the most painless experience I’ve ever had. Mona exudes professionalism, she clearly knows what she’s talking about, and she’s so kind and understanding (especially if you’re squirming 😂). Honestly couldn’t fault her or the rest of the team.

Totally recommended
I saw Dr Adam first who did such a great job that I was back within 3 weeks to get the rest of my filler completed with Dr Amy. I wanted to look natural and get rid of the look of looking tired and sad all the time and it was all sorted. I'm delighted with the results and have recommended the clinic to my friends. It's so reassuring to be treated by fully qualified doctors, I'll be back!

Great first experience
Just come back from my appointment with Dr Amy , she made me feel extremely comfortable during my first procedure as I have a slight fear of needles but it was absolutely fine and not painful in the slightest.
Originally came in for a consultation with Dr Amy and she didn't rush it at all and was very thorough, listened to my concerns and talked me through the options that would be best for me.
All the team were very welcoming and professional.
Will definitely be back ! Looking forward to seeing the results in a few weeks.
Thank you so much
