An information resource, not a clinic.

What this site is

Glasgow Aesthetic Clinic is a reference on non-surgical aesthetic treatment for people in and around Glasgow who are trying to make a decision. It explains how each procedure works, who it suits, who it does not, what recovery involves, which complications need a plan, and how to judge the person proposing to treat you.

It is operated by Aesthetic Launch Lab, a UK digital specialist working in the aesthetics sector. Enquiries sent through this site are read and answered by Aesthetic Launch Lab at hello@aestheticlaunchlab.com.

What this site is not

• It is not a clinic and has no premises, no treatment rooms and no appointment book.
• It employs no doctors, nurses, dentists or aesthetic practitioners.
• It does not provide medical advice and is not a substitute for an in-person assessment by a suitably qualified and regulated practitioner.
• It does not recommend, rank, rate or endorse any clinic or practitioner in Glasgow or anywhere else.
• It takes no payment from treatment providers. There is no advertising, no directory, no sponsorship and no referral arrangement.

The rules this site is written to

Four decisions shape everything published here, and each of them removes something that most sites in this sector include.

No invented specifics

No practitioner, patient, price, address, opening time, review, rating, award, accreditation or result is named or described anywhere on this site, because none exists to describe. Where a page would ordinarily carry such a thing, it explains the absence instead.

No prices

Advertising a prescription-only medicine to the public is prohibited under the Human Medicines Regulations 2012, which covers botulinum toxin. Beyond the law, a figure quoted without the context of who assesses you and what happens when something goes wrong is not information. The cost guide sets out every variable instead.

No testimonials or before and after images

This site treats nobody, so it has no results and no patients. Publishing any would be an invention. The guide to reading reviews explains how to assess the evidence you are shown elsewhere.

No recommendations

Ranking clinics that have not been assessed would be worthless at best. Instead, every page teaches the verification steps that let you assess a provider yourself, using registers held by regulators rather than logos held on websites.

Editorial approach

Pages describe mechanisms, indications, contraindications, recovery, complications and the regulatory position as it stands in the United Kingdom, with Scotland's differences set out where they matter. Where the position is uncertain or changing, that is stated rather than smoothed over. Where a treatment cannot achieve what people commonly hope it will, that is stated too.

Nothing here is medical advice. Regulation in this field has been moving for several years and the position may have changed since a page was written. Check the current position with the relevant regulator and with a qualified practitioner before you rely on anything.

Contact

Enquiries: hello@aestheticlaunchlab.com, handled by Aesthetic Launch Lab. Please do not send clinical details or photographs. If something has gone wrong after a procedure, contact the practitioner who treated you, or NHS 111 in Scotland, rather than waiting for a reply.
