Non surgical rhinoplasty
I have been to Skin Viva three times now for non surgical rhinoplasty and my experience has been absolutely faultless every time. My first few times I was super anxious about having the procedure, however, Dr Amy and Dr Mona put me at ease and I cannot recommend them enough. They are exceptional at what they do and the results are perfect every time. I would not go anywhere else for treatment!

I always have a great experience here
I always have a great experience here, everyone is really welcoming. I’ve had lip filler with Dr Aimee and recently with Dr Adam, they are both so friendly, knowledgable and professional - and most importantly have done a perfect job every time. I never feel worried as I know I’m in good hands.

Lips and cheek fillers with Dr.Amy
Lips and cheek fillers with Dr.Amy. I’m not new to fillers at all. But Dr. Amy is hands down the best, calmest, most pain free injector I’ve had. She has an eye for detail and I’m so happy with the result.
Highly recommend!

Recommend Dr Adam for Botox.
Dr Adam is amazing!!! I was hesitate about Botox at first as I’ve read some bad review about the side effects.
But Dr Adam is very patient. He explained the process carefully to me, which eased my concerns. He also gave me an amazing experience that I had no side effects at all! I love my look after the treatment, gives me more confidence indeed.

Cheek Filler with Nurse Sharryn
I had a consultation with Nurse Sharryn a few weeks ago to discuss my concerns and I have nothing but good things to say about her.
I went in today for cheek filler and was quite nervous but she put me at ease and communicated with me during the whole process.
I highly recommend Nurse Sharryn, her work is amazing and I am so pleased with my results!

Amazing experience at Skinviva
Amazing experience at Skinviva yesterday. I was welcomed by Clare on arrival, a very professional and efficient front of house team member. Had botox with Dr Amy who is an a amazing Doctor with vision and who offered me a very bespoke botox procedure. I cant wait to see the overall results in the next 7 days and know I am going to look fabulous for Christmas but more importantly my confidence restored! Thank you Skinviva x

Lovely result with Dr Amy
Dr Amy did my dermal fillers today for some hollowing. She’s great, got a good aesthetic eye, and is very skilled administering filler. Great result. And such a lovely person. Always a joy!

Botox and cheek filler
I saw Dr Sharan yesterday for Botox and cheek filler/restoration. I cannot rate her highly enough for her expertise and kindness. Peri menopause has really wreaked havoc with my face and I’d started to believe I’d never feel attractive again, just tired and haggard. The results Dr Sharan achieved literally made me weep with happiness! I don’t usually write reviews but I am just so grateful to her for giving me my face back. I recognise myself again! Less than 24 hrs later I have no bruising or swelling. I am already delighted with the results and know that they will continue to develop and improve over the coming weeks. If you are considering non surgical cosmetic procedures, you will not regret going to see Dr Sharan. Her work is truly transformative to how you feel inside and out. Thank you Sharan 🙏

100% recommend Dr Amy for lips
100% recommend Dr Amy for lips! My first time having filler I opted for 1ml and was a little nervous with not being a huge fan of needles! Dr Amy was lovely! She made me feel so at ease through the whole procedure l! I was worried how they would look with never having them before but she just knew exactly what I wanted and there perfect!!

Dr Mona was amazing
Dr Mona was amazing. This was my first experience with cheek filler.She talked me through everything and made me feel at ease by explaining 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 with Dr Amy
I had 0.5ml lip filler with Dr Amy, it was my first time and she made me feel very calm although I was extremely nervous. Explained everything well and was very smiley and talkative throughout the whole process.
A very pleasant experience and I would definitely be back.
