If your postponement is due to illness, you must inform us of this prior to your appointment, giving us as much notice as possible. Where postponement is necessary and provided a new appointment can be booked within ten (10) working days, cancellation fees will not apply. However, failure to attend this rescheduled appointment will result in it be deemed as a cancellation and charged accordingly.

6.2. Notices of Cancellation or Postponement: Notice of cancellation or postponement of a Procedure must be submitted in writing by letter, emailing (accounts@loveyourskin.org.uk) or fax and signed by the Client, to the clinic manager of the clinic where the client had his/her initial consultation with one of Medskin Clinic Clinicians or Technicians.
