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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!!!

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

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.
