Booking & Arrival:The appointment was easy to book via Fresha, which confirmed that my treatment would be with Rayanne. However, when I arrived at the studio, there was no receptionist or anyone to greet clients — just a small waiting area downstairs from the hair salon. This felt a little disorganised and unprofessional. I was also surprised to learn that I would be treated by someone else (Diana), without prior notice. A heads-up about this change would have been appreciated.Practitioner Experience:Diana was friendly and personable, and she did help put me at ease before the treatment. She explained that although a free HIFU Upper Lift and Chin Reduction were advertised with the treatment, she had already decided not to perform the HIFU due to overlap with the fibroblast area. I wasn’t too bothered by this, as I didn’t feel I needed it, and she also advised against chin reduction due to having HarmonyCA 8 months ago in the jawline — which I appreciated. That said, it would’ve been better to be informed ahead of time if parts of the treatment were going to be declined, so expectations could be managed — or at least offered an alternative.Upselling & Aftercare:Before starting, Diana tried to upsell their C-Tox serum as aftercare, which was not included in the price. If this serum is essential, it should be part of the treatment package — I found the sales pitch off-putting, especially at the start of the appointment. I came for a specific treatment and would have preferred a focus on that rather than add-ons.Treatment Experience:Numbing cream was applied properly, and I felt it working quickly. The 30-minute wait was fine, and I was relaxed. The fibroblast treatment itself was generally okay — though I noticed that the “spectacle-style” dot pattern she used wasn’t what I had seen during my research. She said it was tailored to my specific needs, which I understand, but the pattern was also slightly uneven between both eyes, even though my eyes were fairly symmetrical to begin with.Additionally, there was no pre-marking or mapping of the area — it seemed to be done by eye in the moment. I believe marking the treatment zones more precisely beforehand would improve accuracy and boost client confidence. Two issues I wasn’t pleased about: some of my eyelashes were singed by the plasma pen — this really shouldn’t happen and shows a lack of care in protecting delicate areas. Also, the plasma pen cut out a few times, which disrupted the flow of treatment — equipment should be in perfect working condition.Overall Impression:It wasn’t a terrible experience, but it wasn’t great either. I appreciated Diana’s cautious approach and her friendly manner, but communication could be improved, as well as precision in treatment technique and setup. I’m holding off on judging results until I’ve fully healed — I’ll post a follow-up in a few weeks with how the outcome looks.
