consultation with dr hannah
A detailed and thorough initial consultation with an experienced Bristol doctor
about your consultation
The first step on your journey towards better skin will be a consultation with one of our experienced doctors.
The consultation will be 45 minutes entirely devoted to you. We’ll be able to learn more about you, your particular concerns, your medical history, previous treatments and you’ll be given ample opportunity to ask all the questions you would like.
A consultation is needed for all new patients so that we can properly get to know you, make a medical and facial assessment and a plan that is truly bespoke to you.
CONSULTATION LENGTH: 45 minutes
“Dr Hannah immediately put me at ease. She listened to what I was looking to achieve, took time to explain different treatment options and answer any questions I had, all with patience and care.”

How much is a consultation?
An initial consultation is needed for all new patients and costs £45.
Why do we charge a consultation fee?
Dr Hannah has 17 years experience as a doctor, 12 years experience as a Bristol GP and extensive experience and training in aesthetic medicine. This allows her to give you expert medical advice that is bespoke to you.
We believe that by charging a modest consultation fee, we can give you the time we feel you deserve to have a full assessment, recommendation and discussion.
We have moved away from a complimentary consultation or “consultation fee redeemable against treatment” model as we want our advice to be independent from any future treatment. For example, it gives us and you the freedom to sometimes agree that no treatment is the best plan, or even a surgical option elsewhere. Sometimes that information alone will be worth your consultation fee as it will prevent you from wasting your money on a treatment that will not benefit you.
However, in most cases we will be able to offer you a truly transformational plan and we want to have the time to fully discuss it with you!
If you are an existing patient, you will not need to pay a consultation fee.
What will happen at my consultation?
Dr Hannah will welcome you to kinDRed clinc and introduce herself. She will ask some questions about you and your medical history and any previous cosmetic treatments. We will have a relaxed discussion about what has brought you to the clinic and any particular treatments you are interested in learning more about. Dr Hannah will make a full facial assessment and, taking your medical history into account, will make a recommendation. Dr Hannah will explain the suggested treatments fully, including the benefits and risks. If Dr Hannah feels you would benefit from treatments not available at kinDRed skin, such as cosmetic surgery, she will discuss these with you. You may be given some leaflets to take home to look at. You will not be obliged to have any of the treatments suggested. The consultation is a precious opportunity to focus on YOU. There are no silly questions so feel free to ask anything you like.
Can I be treated at the initial consultation?
In most cases, we will encourage you to have a “cooling off” period to think about all the information before having a treatment. However in certain circumstances, such as having had the same treatment before, it may be possible to have the treatment at the end of your initial consultation. Examples of treatments that may be possible in your initial consultation are “botox”, CryoPen and Profhilo. For other treatments, it is most likely that you will need to make a separate appointment.
Can I bring someone with me to my consultation?
Yes, you are more than welcome to bring someone with you to your consultation and treatments. Just be aware that we will ask you about your medical history and previous treatments. Unfortunately, children and babies cannot attend the clinic due to safety reasons.
