The Importance of Medical Oversight

In an unregulated industry, choosing the right aesthetic provider can be daunting. At Berkshire Aesthetics, we believe that medical oversight is non-negotiable. Based in Maidenhead, our clinic is led by Dr Selena Langdon, a highly respected figure in the field of cosmetic dermatology. Being a doctor-led, CQC-registered clinic means we operate to the same standards as a private hospital.

Our primary focus is patient safety. Every treatment we offer is vetted for efficacy and risk. We provide honest, ethical advice, and we are not afraid to say "no" if a treatment is not in your best interest. This integrity is the foundation of the trust we build with our patients.

Technology in Safe Hands

Advanced aesthetic devices are powerful tools. While they can deliver incredible results, they must be used correctly to avoid complications. Whether it is lasers, radiofrequency, or electromagnetic energy, having a medical professional oversee the treatment ensures optimal settings and safety protocols are followed.

Take, for example, the emsella chair. While the device itself is automated, assessing a patient's suitability for high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation is a medical decision. We screen for contraindications and monitor progress to ensure that the pelvic floor is being strengthened safely and effectively.

The CQC Difference

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) monitors, inspects, and regulates health and social care services.

Hygiene: We maintain sterile clinical environments.
Training: Our staff are medically trained and continuously assessed.
Emergency Protocols: We are equipped to handle any medical situation.

Medical-Grade Skincare

There is a significant difference between a beauty facial and a medical skin treatment. Medical clinics have access to higher-strength ingredients and deeper-penetrating technologies that are not available on the high street.

Our approach to skin health utilises the hydrofacial system. In a medical setting, we can customise this treatment with stronger boosters and combine it with other modalities like lymphatic drainage or LED therapy for a therapeutic effect. We understand the biology of the skin and use this treatment as part of a wider dermatological plan to treat conditions like acne, rosacea, and pigmentation.

Comprehensive Consultations

Your journey with us begins with a thorough consultation. We use clinical photography and skin analysis to track your progress. Dr Langdon and her team take a full medical history to ensure that your aesthetic treatments do not conflict with any underlying health conditions.

We believe in informed consent. We will explain exactly what a treatment involves, the expected downtime, and the realistic results you can achieve. There are no hidden costs or high-pressure sales tactics—just expert medical advice.

Conclusion

Your face and body deserve the highest standard of care. By choosing a doctor-led clinic like Berkshire Aesthetics, you are choosing safety, expertise, and peace of mind. From the Emsella to advanced skincare, trust us to deliver results that are both beautiful and safe.
