j fra2024-11-14 I can not speak highly enough of the treatment and care given. The plasma resurfacing has been the best investment to improving my overall facial skin quality and three weeks since my initial treatment (the process takes a full 12 weeks) I feel refreshed with healthy looking, tighter, and less wrinkled skin, and this has given me a real boost. So looking forward to when the skin starts to produce the collagen type 1 (anytime now) that will tighten and improve further towards the end of the three months. This is an investment but the results will last so much longer than so many other treatments available. Kim was fantastic. I was super nervous about having any treatments but I had seen the results on others from the Planoplas and knew this would be the right treatment for the natural results I wanted. Kim gave me detailed information, answered all my questions thoroughly at my initial free consultation. On the day of treatment I felt welcome and comfortable throughout my visit. Kim was great at explaining what would happen and put me at ease.The aftercare advice was fantastic. Every step happened exactly as Kim described. My post treatment check up was so positive. I can’t thank Kim enough for her knowledge, care and expertise. The results have given my confidence a real boost. 100% recommend be laser and skin clinic to anyone. stephanie cleminson2024-10-30 Kim is really knowledgable & professional. I am really pleased with my results & will definitely be going back for more treatments. I highly recommend! Steph x J H2024-09-28 Very friendly and professional service in a lovely treatment room. Have had multiple laser hair removal treatments and am happy with the results. Love Lifestyle2024-09-28 If you’re looking for a professional and friendly service in a beautiful setting, Kim is your lady. I enjoy every experience at her clinic knowing I’m in trusted hands. Kim is incredible at what she does. Laser hair removal is life changing! Highly recommend. Grant Lewis2024-09-27 Professional service with clear information provided prior to my procedure. Kim was very personable and demonstrated great skill in removing several skin tags from around my eyes. Thomas Hathaway2024-09-20 Thank you Kim. My mother and I were very happy with our treatment and it was very kind of you to go the extra mile. Would have no hesitation in recommending your services. Kind regards, Thomas and Kristina Autumn Poole2024-09-09 Friendly, professional service. Super welcoming and great results! Jayne Cox2024-09-09 Kim is amazing at what she does. Everything is fully explained and she checked in with me regularly. Her honesty is second to none. My treatment didn’t provide the outcome I was hoping for which I was fully aware might happen. Though Kim was also disappointed for me, she could have easily talked me into more treatment and made herself money; instead she didn’t feel convinced my skin was appropriate for another treatment and so no further treatment was booked. Thanks Kim for your honesty Jade Lousiopoulos2024-09-09 I go to Kim every 4 weeks for facial laser hair removal as I suffer with PCOS. After just ONE session I couldn’t believe the results! I’ve had IPL in the past with no noticeable difference as it didn’t seem to work for my condition, but the Diode laser has been an absolute life saver for me. I did a lot of research beforehand and even contemplated travelling over an hour and a half for electrolysis but I’m glad I didn’t. I’ve only had two sessions so far; I’ve had a 80% hair reduction already and have so much more confidence. I can’t recommend Kim enough, she’s literally changed my life. Tamara Bennett2024-09-08 My experience with Kim @BeAsthetics was a very positive one; a series of appointments and with each visit Kim balanced professionalism with friendliness and skill. The clinic was impeccibly clean and, I felt, tastefully decorated and inviting. I have been so happy with the service that Kim offers, I suggested my daughter go along and see her: She has been equally impressed by the service and her treatment outcome.
