Black Friday Botox and lip filler deals: what to watch out for
On 29 November, Black Friday returns – a time known for discounts and special offers. Cosmetic clinics may also promote reduced prices on anti-wrinkle injections and lip filler treatments. Whether you are in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol, Nottingham, Sheffield or Newcastle, you may come across offers at clinics near you. However, when comparing these deals, it is important to prioritise safety and quality. In this blog, we outline what to look out for so you can make an informed decision.
1. Quality above all
When considering cosmetic treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections or lip fillers, prioritising quality is essential. Lower-priced offers may seem appealing, but it is important to understand what is included. Are the products used of high quality? Is the treatment carried out by a qualified and experienced practitioner? Quality should always come first, particularly when it involves your health and appearance.

2. Experience and expertise of the practitioner
One of the most important factors when choosing a clinic is the experience and expertise of the practitioner. Check whether the doctor is GMC-registered and look for information about their experience with the specific treatment you are considering. Clinics affiliated with recognised professional organisations, such as the British College of Aesthetic Medicine (BCAM), may offer additional reassurance.
3. Compare cosmetic doctors and clinics
Comparing different practitioners and clinics can help you make a well-informed decision. Read patient reviews, review before-and-after images where available, and consider overall patient satisfaction. It is also important that the clinic provides clear information about potential risks and limitations of the treatment.
4. Possible downsides of a Black Friday offers
Although Black Friday promotions may offer lower prices, it is important to consider the reasons behind the discount. Is it part of a genuine promotion, or is there another reason for the reduced price? Taking time to research can help you avoid unexpected outcomes.
5. Risks of low-cost treatments
Lower-cost treatments may carry increased risks if corners are cut. Inexperienced practitioners or inappropriate products can lead to complications such as asymmetry, infection or unsatisfactory results. Always choose a clinic where treatments are carried out by qualified and registered medical professionals in a safe clinical environment.
6. Read reviews and experiences
Reading reviews from other clients can provide useful insight into a clinic’s quality and reliability. Look for balanced feedback that highlights both positive and negative experiences to help form a realistic impression.
Nearly two years ago, Dr Nikki West recommended Mr Ghattaura to my wife for breast surgery. To this day, she still talks about the experience and remains incredibly grateful for the positive difference he has made to her, both physically and mentally.
When I discovered that Mr Ghattaura also removes sebaceous cysts, a procedure I required, I had absolutely no hesitation in choosing him. Looking back, it was one of the best healthcare decisions I could have made.
From the moment I arrived, I knew I was in the hands of true professionals. The clinic itself is beautiful, with a calming ambience, impressive attention to detail, and the warmest of welcomes. The entire experience felt more like checking into a premium wellness retreat than attending a medical appointment.
Mr Ghattaura immediately put me at ease. He was friendly, reassuring, and clearly understood exactly what treatment I needed. Throughout the process, both he and Nurse Nikki ensured I was fully informed, comfortable, and exceptionally well cared for. Their professionalism was matched by genuine kindness, making what could have been an anxious experience feel relaxed and reassuring.
What struck me most was how holistic the experience felt. It never felt like a clinical procedure; instead, it felt centred around my overall wellbeing. Since having the cyst removed, I have felt so much better. Something that had been affecting my confidence and comfort was dealt with expertly, and the positive impact on my wellbeing has been significant.
To say I enjoyed the experience may sound unusual when discussing a medical procedure, but it genuinely reflects how positive the entire journey was from beginning to end.
My sincere thanks to Mr Ghattaura, Nurse Nikki, and everyone at Amar Aesthetics for your warmth, care, expertise, and professionalism. My only regret is that I didn't take this journey sooner.

After having multiple negative experiences with other injectors, I had become anxious about putting my trust in someone new. I wasn’t just looking for someone with technical skill, I needed someone who would actually listen, understand my concerns, and appreciate why I was feeling so apprehensive.
From our first consultation, he did exactly that. He never rushed me, never made me feel silly for asking questions, and took the time to really understand what had happened previously and what I was hoping to achieve. I left feeling heard, respected and reassured, which was something I hadn’t experienced before.
What has impressed me most is the way he’s handled every step of the process. Even when we encountered some challenges with my treatment, he remained kind, professional, honest and incredibly supportive. Rather than becoming defensive or dismissive, he worked with me to find the best way forward and made sure I felt comfortable throughout. And we are working together to find the ideal outcome. (I have very strong muscles!)
If you’re looking for an injector who is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also compassionate, respectful and committed to achieving the best outcome for you, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Show less »
Before any procedures, Philip would take a great deal of time to explain the situation of our teeth, the process and treatments needed to be done. In the meantime, he will listen to the details of our situations and provide the best treatment option for us. Seeing a dentist for any treatment can be expensive, in my personal experience. However, he put us at ease with his thorough consultation, honest advice, and reasonable pricing. For example, he would refuse to take an X-ray if it wasn’t necessary, as he believes less radiation is better.
What makes Philip stand out is his honesty and integrity. Overall, Philip’s professionalism, truthfulness and patient-centred approach have gained our trust in dental visit. Highly Recommend!! Show less »
I would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with pigmentation, age spots, darkness around the eyes, or acne and acne marks. Show less »
