Sue is a miracle worker

Sue is a miracle worker!
I had pretty bad skin damage and mild acne 6 months ago and the difference to my skin now is amazing! Sue takes time to educate you on causes of acne/damage, how the skin works, takes a thorough look and recommends the best way to treat the problem. I never found her pushy instead I found that she cares for her patients, gets an understanding of their lifestyle and accommodates treatment around that so that it is easiest & best to implement. The amount of people who comment on how great my skin is now really gives me that confidence boost compared to when I used to try and hide my face! Would fully recommend.

Lasering

I had hair removal lasering done at Elan with the best lasering machine on the market, does not hurt like other machines and I am very pleased to say that my therapist Amy put me at ease from day one of my treatment. She is really friendlly and professional and any fears I had were completely gone.
I totally recommend this place to anyone that wants hair removal lasering , well done guys and thanks to Amy , she is definitely an asset to your clinic.

A very expensive mistake

I attended the Elan Medical Skin Clinic and was expecting a professional assessment and treatment of my skin.
Despite my reservations about the validity of the "before" and "after" treatment pictures I was shown (it appeared that your eyes change shade too!), I believed that there must be something in all of the positive reviews I had read, and so chose to go ahead with The DermaActive Treatment Programme.
The cost of the programme was £450, and the initial consultation £95, so this felt like a high price to pay for two 80ml dispensers and a 100g tube of prescription skin creams, a 120ml dispenser of face wash, a small tube of sun block and skin balm. But I was hopeful that the programme would be as successful as Sue effused it could be.
The programme was for 12 weeks, and Sue gave me detailed instructions of how to use the creams. This I followed to the letter.
So I was a little shocked to find that I had run out of the cleanser after 6 weeks of washing my face night and morning, and using "one depression" of the pump, as prescribed.
On contacting Sue, I was told that I would have to purchase another bottle of the product, as this was a non-prescription product. After a rather heated exchange of emails in which I told Sue that at no point in my original consultation had it been mentioned that I may need to replace products, that I believed it had been sold as a 12-week programme, and so the products should be in sufficient supply to last the course, Sue agreed to replace the cleanser as a "measure of goodwill".
Two weeks later, halfway through week 9, I ran out of the cream I had been instructed to use night and morning, and could see that the tube of cream required nightly, was too depleted to last the 12 weeks.
When I contacted the centre, Sue informed me that I would not only have to pay the £125 and £75 cost of the replacement creams, but that I would also have to book another consultation to receive the prescribed products - presumably at a further cost of £95.
So, nearly 9 weeks in I am cutting my losses and abandoning the treatment. The results so far do not warrant further investment of £200. I am left feeling that I have been sold something using misleading claims and a misrepresentation of what I was buying. This is not a 12-week programme unless you chose to keep on paying. Be warned.

We are saddened to see that you have gone ahead with your threat to post a bad review of our clinic. We have treated hundreds of patients with this prescription skin system over the years and most patients see improvements within 6-12 weeks. We refute your accusation that the before and after photographs you were shown were misleading. These photographs were all taken 12 weeks into the treatment programme. They are genuine photographs of our clients. Medicine is not an exact science and we have no control over the size of the prescription creams supplied, neither can we guarantee how long they will last. Most patients have to purchase further supplies in order to continue the improvement or maintain their results. When you complained that the cleanser ran out after eight weeks, we offered you a replacement as a 'gesture of goodwill'. However, when you requested further supplies of the prescription creams you were informed that these could not be purchased over the counter and that you would need to book in another follow-up appointment so that these could be prescried. At no time were you told that this appontment would cost you £95; it would have been a free of charge follow-up appointment like the one you received three weeks earlier.

Great visit to Elan.

Great visit to Elan.
Took my daughter to have her eyes pierced this week, as soon as we arrived we were welcomed.
Very professional, relaxing atmosphere.
Amy was very professional, went through everything you needed to know.
Because everything was so calm, this reflected my daughter in being so calm and enjoyed the experience.
Thanks again, she loves her earrings.

Excellent ear piercing service

I took my daughter to Elan to have her ears pierced. We had a bit of a nervous wobble which the staff handled really well - I was very impressed with their manner and professionalism. Additionally, Amy the technician, was really thorough in getting the earrings in the perfect position, I would highly recommend her and Elan.
