"Due to age and a history of smoking, my lips had lost definition so I contacted The Medical Skin Clinic. The service I received was second to none and after the initial consultation I was happy to continue with treatment. The result was better than I could imagine,. Would certainly recommend this place, I am so happy with my results."
