Doctor-led consultation and treatment
If you are looking for anti-wrinkle injections in Cheadle, the first step at MedSkin Studios is a free, doctor-led consultation. Our clinic is on Brooklyn Road in Cheadle, SK8 1BS, and every consultation is with a GMC-registered doctor who is also the prescriber. We start by looking at your face, your medical history and what you would like to change. You then leave with a clear, written plan and time to think. There is no obligation to go ahead with anything on the day, and for some people the right option is no treatment at all.
Expression lines are a normal part of having a face that moves. Many people are happy with theirs, and not everyone wants or needs treatment. If you would like to understand your options, a consultation is a calm place to start.
At your consultation we can talk about these areas:
Not every area will be right for every person. Your doctor looks at your face at rest and in movement, then explains what is likely to be appropriate for you.
Some of the options we discuss are prescription-only medicines. That means they can only be prescribed after an individual assessment, and we always carry out that assessment in person. The consultation is where the decision about whether treatment is right for you is actually made.
At MedSkin Studios in Cheadle, the person who assesses you is a GMC-registered doctor who is also the prescriber and the person who treats. In practice, that means:
Treatment is only provided after a face-to-face consultation with a qualified prescriber. We would rather you left with a clear understanding than felt hurried into something you were unsure about.
The anti-wrinkle consultation at our Cheadle clinic is free. It is built around three things: assess, advise and plan.
Assess. Your doctor examines your face at rest and while you move it, and reviews your medical history, medication and goals.
Advise. You are told about the benefits, risks and limitations of each option, including the option of no treatment.
Plan. You are given a clear plan and time to consider it. Any clinically appropriate medication is discussed and prescribed separately after the consultation.
On pricing: we do not publish a price for anti-wrinkle treatment on this page, because prescription-only medicines cannot be advertised to the public. Costs and next steps are confirmed with you first, before you decide anything. The consultation itself costs nothing, and there is no obligation to go ahead.
We do not make general promises about results on this page, and we do not quote typical onset times or how long an effect lasts. Those details depend on the person and the option chosen, so one figure for everyone would not be honest.
At your consultation your doctor will explain what is realistic for you, how and when you might notice a change, how long it may last, and what the limitations are. You will also hear about the risks and side effects, and about alternatives, before any decision is made.

Botox is a brand name for one prescription-only medicine, not a name for the treatment itself. UK rules do not allow prescription-only medicines to be advertised to the public, so on this page we talk about anti-wrinkle treatment instead. Which option, if any, is suitable for you is decided by the doctor at your consultation, after a full assessment.
Prescription-only medicines cannot be advertised to the public in the UK, and that includes quoting a price for them. What we can tell you is that the consultation is free. Any costs are confirmed with you first, before you make a decision, so you never need to commit to anything without knowing the figures.
Treatment is not suitable for everyone. Your doctor will ask about your medical history, current medication and allergies, and whether you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy. This is why every patient is assessed face to face. If treatment is not right for you, we will say so and talk through the alternatives.
No. The consultation is for assessment and advice, and there is no obligation to go ahead with anything on the day. You receive a clear plan and time to consider it. For some people the right option is no treatment, and your doctor will tell you if that applies to you.
Dr Ommid Rafie is a GMC-registered doctor and the clinical lead at MedSkin Studios. He assesses you, discusses your options, prescribes where clinically appropriate and carries out treatment. Every patient receives a consultation and a written treatment plan, so you always know what is proposed and why.
Tell the doctor about your medical history, any medication you take, any allergies, and whether you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy. It also helps to say what bothers you and what you would like to change. If you are not sure what you want, that is common, and many people leave with a clearer idea of their options.
