I was nervous about having anything done but after talking about what I thought I would like, Neil took time to explain everything and give me options about what might work better for me. Full medical checks were carried out before any procedures were started and I'm so, so pleased with the results. I didn't need any down time and the follow up appointment is reassuring to know everything is as expected (which it was for me). I look better and less tired but without anything too noticeable being different. Neil was excellent, very professional and a lovely person too. The prices are very reasonable. Show less »

Like many others, I read the positive reviews about 1st Aesthetics and felt confident enough to book a consultation. At the consultation, Neil was reassuring and seemed knowledgeable. I decided to go ahead with a thread lift after he explained that it was a straightforward procedure with minimal downtime and that the threads, being collagen-based, would eventually be absorbed by the body. He also recommended adding collagen cogs for better results.

Despite my concerns—particularly about the possibility of the threads becoming visible—Neil reassured me this was a rare occurrence. However, a significant red flag was that my medical forms were never filled out prior to the procedure. This major oversight didn’t stop the procedure from going ahead.

Within weeks, I developed an infection on the left side of my face, which took six weeks of antibiotics to clear. On the right side, the thread dropped noticeably, leaving my face visibly uneven. When I returned, Neil told me there was nothing he could do.

Hoping to fix the appearance, he then recommended Botox around my chin and cheek area to lift the sagging caused by the thread. An allegedly fully qualified aesthetician administered the Botox under his guidance, during which he casually mentioned that it’s “common” for threads to drop after a month—something I was never informed of during the initial consultation or before the procedure.

A week later, I developed a pronounced wrinkle and a distorted, "joker-like" smile due to the incorrectly administered Botox. I went back again, and more Botox was injected in an attempt to fix it. Unfortunately, the issue remains. I still have a deep crease on my face and am incredibly disappointed with the overall experience and aftercare.

This has been a distressing and frustrating experience, and I would urge anyone considering treatment at 1st Aesthetics to proceed with caution. Proper protocols were not followed, and the aftercare has been seriously lacking.

In response to Neil reply , you are absolutely right the forms were filled but after the procedure. I informed you of my infection and at no point did you clarify that I had to give you supporting evidence, which I was happy to submit, furthermore you refer in plural, to missed appointments. I chose not to attend the last appointment as I was so angry and upset with the damage that occurred post Botox, which was not administered correctly. I have been left with a permanent crease on my face.
The issues that I have raised became more significant as I am left with permanent crease on my face that has got worse over the last 5 weeks and this was not acknowledged in your response at all. Nor have you reached out to me. Show less »

I visited for the first time at 1st Aesthetic in Wakefield and met the wonderful Niel. Neil took me through step by step his knowledge and expertise to what treatments would be beneficial to myself. Once agreed on the plan of actions. Neil made sure I was comfortable at ease, and if at any time I had a question, his knowledge would shine through his face, lights up, and you can clearly see and feel his passion for this industry. Niel even accommodated to fit me in around my busy work schedule. His prices are exceptionally good. I would highly recommend visiting Neil. I'm hoping in the near future attending his trianing academy. I really appreciated all of Neil's support. Thank you so much. Show less »
