Understanding what happens before, during and after an aesthetic treatment can help you feel more informed and comfortable about your care. Our aesthetic treatment patient information hub brings together practical guidance for clients visiting Tweaks Aesthetics in St Ives, from preparing for your first consultation to understanding aftercare and knowing when to contact our team.
This page is designed as a central source of general patient guidance. You can use it to understand what to expect from your appointment, how to prepare, where to find safety information and what to do if you have questions before or after treatment.
Every treatment journey is different. The preparation required for microneedling will not necessarily be the same as the guidance provided for an injectable treatment, facial or vitamin therapy.
For that reason, this hub provides general patient information while directing you to the most relevant guidance for your treatment or concern. Treatment-specific advice will always be discussed with you as part of your consultation and appointment.
Our patient information covers areas including:
The aim is to make it easier to find clear, reliable information throughout your treatment journey.
Good preparation begins before you arrive at the clinic.
Depending on the treatment you are considering, we may need to discuss your medical history, current medication, previous aesthetic treatments and any relevant health concerns. Some treatments require additional checks, consent forms or a consultation before treatment can go ahead.
It is important to provide accurate information when completing any forms or speaking with your practitioner. This helps us assess suitability and make recommendations based on your individual circumstances.
Before attending, you should also follow any treatment-specific preparation instructions you have been given. These may vary considerably between services, so general advice found online should never replace the instructions provided for your individual treatment.
If you are unsure whether something may affect your appointment, contact us before attending. We would always prefer you to ask rather than feel uncertain.
Consultations are an important part of the patient journey at Tweaks Aesthetics.
They give you an opportunity to explain what you would like to improve, ask questions and understand the options that may be suitable for you. They also allow our team to consider factors such as your skin, health background, previous treatments and expectations.
Our approach is personalised rather than one-size-fits-all. We may recommend a treatment, suggest a different approach or advise that a treatment is not appropriate for you.
You do not need to arrive knowing exactly which treatment you want.
If you are mainly concerned about something such as wrinkles, facial volume loss, skin ageing or another skin concern, our Conditions section can also help you understand some of the options that may be discussed during a consultation.
Your appointment experience will depend on the treatment being carried out, but we aim to make every visit calm, clear and comfortable.
Before treatment begins, your practitioner will normally confirm the planned procedure and give you an opportunity to ask any final questions. Relevant consent and safety checks will also be completed where required.
You should feel comfortable asking about anything you do not understand. We believe informed clients are better able to make confident decisions about their treatment.
Individual treatment pages contain more information about specific procedures, typical appointment times and what the treatment involves.
You can browse the clinic’s current services through our Treatments & Prices page.
Following the correct aftercare can be an important part of achieving a smooth recovery after an aesthetic or skin treatment.
Aftercare varies depending on what you have had done. Some treatments may involve temporary redness, tenderness or swelling, while others may require particular skincare precautions or activity restrictions for a short period.
You will be given appropriate guidance for your treatment, and you should follow the advice provided by your practitioner rather than relying on generic instructions from social media or other websites.
If you have already had treatment with us and are unsure whether something you are experiencing is expected, please contact the clinic for guidance.
Patient safety is central to how we approach treatment.
Suitability is assessed individually, and treatment should never be viewed as appropriate simply because it is popular or widely available. Medical history, medications, previous procedures and other individual factors may affect whether a treatment is suitable.
We are fully insured, including medical malpractice cover, and our team has undertaken training across the treatments provided by the clinic.
You can learn more about our approach to clinical standards, responsible treatment and patient safety on our dedicated Your Safety, Our Standards page.
Practical information is an important part of preparing for your visit.
Appointment arrangements may include deposits, payment requirements, booking lead times, cancellations or rescheduling, depending on the treatment and circumstances.
If you are booking a new appointment or need to make a change to an existing one, our team can confirm the relevant information for you.
For the most accurate details about payments, deposits or appointment changes, please contact the clinic directly.
Not every treatment is suitable for every person.
Your practitioner may need to consider factors including:
This is why consultations, consent and honest communication are important.
If a treatment is not suitable, we will explain why and, where appropriate, discuss alternative options that may be more appropriate for your needs.
You should always tell us if anything about your health or medication has changed since your last appointment.
You should contact the clinic before your appointment if you are unsure whether a change in your health, medication or circumstances may affect your treatment.
This may include situations where:
Contacting us in advance gives the team the opportunity to advise you appropriately before you attend.
Knowing who is providing your treatment can be just as important as understanding the treatment itself.
Tweaks Aesthetics is a family-run clinic in St Ives with an emphasis on personalised care, approachable advice and subtle results. Founder Lisa brings more than 20 years of care experience alongside extensive aesthetics training, while the wider team supports clients throughout their treatment journey.
Our approach is centred around thoughtful “tweakments” rather than dramatic changes. We want clients to understand their options and feel comfortable asking questions before making a decision.
This depends on the treatment. Some services require consultation, assessment or additional medical checks before treatment can proceed. If you are unsure, contact us before booking.
You should provide accurate information about your medical history, medication, allergies, previous treatments and anything else relevant to your health or treatment suitability.
Our Treatments & Prices page can direct you to information about the individual treatments currently available at Tweaks Aesthetics.
You do not need to diagnose your own concern or select a treatment before speaking to us. You can start by exploring our Conditions pages or arrange a consultation to discuss your concerns.
Your practitioner will provide guidance relevant to your treatment. Our Aftercare Information page also provides general guidance to support you after your appointment.
Contact the clinic directly. We are known for responsive aftercare and encourage patients to get in touch if they are unsure about their recovery or the instructions they have been given.
Our Patient Information Hub is here to make the practical side of aesthetic treatment easier to understand. Whether you are preparing for your first consultation, checking what to expect from an appointment or looking for aftercare guidance, we want you to have clear information and know where to turn when you need support.
