Your concern is the starting point. You do not need medical language or the name of a procedure. Tell me what you have noticed, when it began and what you would like to improve — and what you would like to preserve.

Consultation
Time to understand your options.
Your consultation is an important part of how I look after you.
It gives us time to understand what you need and decide together what happens next.
The conversation
Start with what you have noticed.
Tell me what you have noticed. It might be a wrinkle that is visible even when your face is at rest, skin that looks tired when you do not feel tired, or a change in proportion. You can also come with a question about your skin or appearance.
The consultation is where we work out what has changed, what may be causing it and whether treatment could help.
Which sounds most like you?
“Good.
You do not need to.”
A consultation here is a clinical conversation, not a sales appointment. Whatever you bring, we begin there.
The assessment
How the conversation unfolds.
We work through five questions together, taking the time each one needs.
Two concerns can look similar in a mirror and require completely different plans. A tired-looking under-eye area may involve hollowing, pigmentation, thin skin, fluid retention or several of these together. A heavier lower face may reflect changing support, skin laxity, muscle activity or proportion. Identifying which tissues are involved matters more than choosing a treatment.
I review your medical history, medicines, allergies, previous procedures and relevant lifestyle factors before making any recommendation. The assessment also considers your anatomy, facial movement, skin condition and what recovery after treatment may involve.
We discuss how much improvement may be possible, limitations, risks, recovery, alternatives, maintenance and the option of not having treatment.
You can take time after the consultation to consider the recommendation, weigh up the benefits and risks, and ask further questions before deciding whether to go ahead. You are under no obligation to book treatment during the consultation or afterwards.
I do not perform treatment during a consultation appointment. A treatment appointment usually includes the treatment itself, provided the assessment confirms that it is appropriate and there are no contraindications. If the treatment is new to you, I usually recommend a separate consultation first. If more discussion or a change of plan is needed during a treatment appointment, we can use that visit for a consultation and arrange treatment separately.
Consent to treatment is not simply a signature.You need information you can understand and time to make your decision.
Where it can lead
What your consultation may lead to
The value of a consultation lies in the quality of the decision, not in whether treatment is booked.
- 1
A treatment plan
A tailored plan, with priorities, limitations and timing discussed openly.
- 2
A smaller intervention than expected
Sometimes less achieves what actually matters.
- 3
A different route
Including referral elsewhere when that serves you better.
- 4
A recommendation to wait
When there are medical reasons to postpone treatment.
- 5
No treatment at all
Offered with the same confidence as any plan.
Patient perspective
Selected Google reviews
‘His consultation was completely transparent, so you know exactly what to expect in terms of your treatment and expectations.’
‘At no point did he try to give me a hard sell or advise extra procedures.’
‘He's very calm, reassuring and never makes you feel rushed or pressured.’
‘Piotr recommends treatments based on safety and will be honest and say if something may not suit you or if it would be too risky.’
‘I instantly felt comfortable when I met Piotr, we had a very in-depth consultation, and he explained the procedure and aftercare clearly to me.’
‘I didn't expect so many questions, but it quickly became clear that Piotr genuinely cares about his patients.’
Responsibility for your care
One clinician throughout.
I carry out the assessment, make the clinical recommendation, perform the treatment and remain responsible for follow-up. Your plan stays in one person’s hands, and you do not have to explain the same concern again at every stage.
That continuity is part of the odNOVA approach: from the first conversation, you know who is responsible for your care.

Comprehensive
Clinical Assessment
If you are new to odNOVA, considering a new type of treatment, have more than one concern or would like your face and skin assessed as a whole.
The appointment allows time for a full history, examination, photographs where appropriate, discussion of priorities and a tailored treatment plan.
The assessment fee is credited in full towards a future treatment.
Focused
Consultation
Appropriate when we already know each other, or when you have one specific treatment or skincare question that does not require a full assessment.
Preparation
Before you come
Much of the clinical groundwork happens before we meet. Secure medical and skin-health forms are sent in advance, allowing me to review your health, medicines, relevant supplements and skin history before the consultation. You do not need to reconstruct everything from memory in the room.
Please bring, or be ready to discuss:
- a list of your current medicines and relevant supplements, if you have not already included it in your pre-consultation form;
- allergies and medical conditions;
- previous aesthetic, skin or surgical procedures;
- any photographs that help explain a change over time;
- an upcoming event or deadline that may affect timing;
- what a good result would mean to you — and what you do not want.
You are welcome to bring questions or ask them as they come to mind.
This page does not ask for medical information. Health and skin-history details are collected through the clinic’s secure pre-consultation route.
Afterwards
Leave witha clear answer.
My aim is for you to leave understanding what I recommend and why, what the alternatives are, and what any next step would involve.
