Allclear Clinic, Belfast

Advantages: Practically Permanent removal of hair, Ego Boost
Disadvantages: Cost may be prohibitive for some

...As a introduction to this review I feel it is necessary to give you an overview of how I was introduced to this clinic:- Five years ago I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). One of the symptoms of this condition is excess facial hair. This has been heightened by the fact that I come from quite a hairy family anyway and in addition I have dark brown hair. Most women who have dark hair end up dealing with the dreaded moustache but with PCOS this develops into pronounced facial hair on the chin and generally the "beard" area. Other symptoms include a loss of control over your weight and so all in all my self esteem was at an all time low. Last year I was introduced to a neighbour who I quickly became good friends with. On one alcohol fuelled night we got chatting about PCOS and its trials. She told me... Read review

...opportunity up to a wide range of people. Overview I can honestly say that having this treatment is the best decision I have ever made. It has definitely been a life changing experience and one that I would recommend to anyone in a position to have it. From my initial enquiries to the end of my aftercare treatment, I found Optimax to be a very proffesional company and all members of staff that I had contact with, from the helpline to everyone at the Bristol clinic, were friendly and reassuring. Optimax have several clinics around the UK - Aberdeen, Belfast, Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Croyden, Glasgow, Hull, Ipswich, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Peterborough, Reading and Southampton. If you are considering laser eye surgery I would highly recommend them and suggest your first stop be their website www... Read review

...Given 'Vodkaboy's' experience (hungover or jetlagged perhaps?) I doubt *any* clinic would have been able to cope with his demands or would not have run into problems with his tight schedule of international flights. Speaking as an actual patient I have had two procedures - a nuchal scan + plus bloods screening test and also a scan and anmniocentesis test in the last 3 months at this clinic. At both times I was given appointment times that fitted for when I needed it (I work full-time 1 hr outside London) and both times without waiting more than a week. The clinic premises are FAR superior to any London city NHS hospital and I've been to three. Leather sofa's, halogen downlighters, spotlessly clean loo's with designer handwash and hand lotion, and freshly laundered individual handtowels to dry your hands on. Theres a posh coffee...
