Solstice Aesthetic Medicine — Doctor-led clinic, Marylebone London

Our position

We turn people away.

Roughly one in five consultations here ends with us recommending nothing at all, or something smaller than what was asked for.

Aesthetic medicine goes wrong through accumulation — a little more each visit, until the face belongs to the treatment plan rather than the person. We plan in years, not appointments.

Doctor-led, always

Every needle at Solstice is held by a GMC-registered doctor. No delegated injecting, no exceptions, no trainee days.

One face, one plan

We map and photograph your face at the first visit, then work to a written two-year plan. You know what is coming and what it costs.

Honest downtime

We tell you the real recovery, bad photo days included. Book your diary around the truth, not around our optimism.

The index

Every treatment, with its actual specifications.

No "from" prices that change at reception. Modality, session length, real downtime, when results appear, and how long they last — published for all twelve treatments we offer.

Neuromodulator

Botulinum toxin

Softens expression lines across the upper face while leaving movement intact. Dosed low on the first visit, reviewed at two weeks.

Results in: 4–14 days
Lasts: 3–4 months
Areas: 1–3
From: £280

HA gel · cross-linked

Results in: Immediate
Lasts: 9–18 months
Reversible: Yes
From: £450

Polynucleotide · regenerative

Polynucleotides

Repairs crepey skin under the eye and on the neck. Regenerative rather than volumising — it improves the tissue instead of padding it.

Downtime: 24 hrs
Results in: 4–6 weeks
Lasts: 6–9 months
Course: 3 sessions
From: £350

HA bio-remodelling

Course: 2 sessions
From: £395

Results in: 2 weeks
Lasts: 4–6 months
Course: 3 sessions
From: £240

Settles: 4 weeks
From: £1,400

A doctor performing a resurfacing treatment in the clinic

Flagship · CO₂ 10,600 nm

One week of hiding. Three years of skin.

Fractional CO₂ resurfacing is the single most effective thing we do, and the single thing most clinics soften into a course of six gentler sessions. We would rather you booked one week off and got the result.

Day 075 minutes under topical anaesthetic. You go home the same afternoon.
Days 1–3Swelling and heat, like strong sunburn. This is the part nobody photographs.
Days 4–7Bronzing and flaking. Most patients work from home this week.
Week 12Collagen remodelling completes. Texture, pores and scarring are measurably changed.

Ask if it's right for you

Results

Same lens. Same light. Ninety days apart.

Every patient is photographed in a fixed rig at every visit — same distance, same lighting, no make-up, no retouching. It is the only way to know whether something worked.

Fractional CO₂ + polynucleotides · one session Drag or use arrow keys

I went in asking for filler and left with a plan that started with a laser and no injectables at all. Two years on, people ask whether I've been sleeping better.

The consultation was the first time anyone explained why my under-eyes looked hollow, rather than simply offering to fill them.

I've been to three clinics in London. Solstice is the only one that has ever told me not to do something.

Individual results vary. Photography published with written patient consent.

Your first visit

Four steps, and a deliberate gap in the middle.

We will not treat you on the day you consult. The pause is the point — decisions made in a treatment room are rarely the ones people keep.

Consultation · 40 minutes

We map your face

Standardised photography, a facial assessment, and a proper conversation about what actually bothers you — which is often not what you booked in for. £75, redeemed against any treatment.

The plan · same day

You leave with it in writing

A two-year sequence with every price on it, in order of what will make the most difference. No deposit is taken and nothing is booked while you are in the building.

Treatment · 48 hrs later

You decide away from the room

Book when you're ready, around your diary and your downtime. Plans stay open for twelve months at the quoted price.

Review · two weeks

Adjustments are included

Every injectable is reviewed at two weeks at no cost. We under-dose first because it is straightforward to add and slow to remove.

The team

Three practitioners. No rotating locums.

You will see the same face at every appointment. Registration numbers are on display at reception and available on request.

The clinic

Four treatment rooms, and a waiting room nobody shares.

We took the Georgian townhouse on Devonshire Place in 2014 and spent a year on it — standardised photography lighting in every room, medical-grade air handling, and a private street entrance. You will not run into anyone you know at reception.

Questions

The ones people ask before they book.

If yours isn't here, call reception on +44 20 7946 0812. You'll speak to someone who works in the building.

Will I look like I've had something done?

Not if it's done properly. We under-dose on the first visit and review at two weeks, because it is straightforward to add and slow to remove. Most patients are told they look well rather than asked what they've had.

Do you take a deposit at the consultation?

No. We also won't book a treatment for the same day you consult. You get at least 48 hours away from the room to change your mind, and your quoted prices are held for twelve months.

What happens if I don't like the result?

Come back. Reviews are free for two weeks after any injectable and adjustments are included. Toxin can be topped up. Filler we placed can be dissolved at no charge, at any point.

Is the £75 consultation fee refundable?

It's redeemed in full against any treatment booked within 90 days. If you decide to do nothing — which happens in around one in five consultations — the fee covers the doctor's time and you keep the written plan.

Do you treat deeper skin tones?

Yes. Our hair-removal platform is long-pulse Nd:YAG at 1064 nm, which is safe across Fitzpatrick types I–VI. Peels and resurfacing are prescribed with post-inflammatory pigmentation risk assessed first, and every laser course begins with a patch test.

Can I bring photographs of what I want?

Please do. It is the fastest way to establish whether we can get there — and whether what you're looking at is a treatment or somebody else's bone structure. We'd rather have that conversation at the start.

Are you regulated?

The clinic is CQC registered. All three practitioners hold current GMC or NMC registration, carry independent indemnity, and are listed on the Save Face register. Registration numbers are published on this page and on display at reception.
