We are Dr. Caroline Warden and Louise Devereux — two sisters running a family-run aesthetic clinic in Hale, Cheshire / South Manchester. We specialise in natural but noticeable-looking results and use evidence-based treatments with FDA/MHRA approved products.

What are Dr Caroline Warden’s qualifications?

Dr Caroline Warden has been an NHS doctor for over 18 years and a practising GP for the past 9 years. She holds a postgraduate Level 7 diploma in cosmetic injectables from the Harley Academy in London.

What treatments do you offer?

Services include anti-wrinkle injections, skin boosters (e.g. Profhilo), superficial and medium-depth chemical peels, dermal fillers (cheeks, lips, chin, jawline), regenerative medicine (polynucleotide and exosome treatments), microneedling with exosomes, lip booster injections, and medical-grade Obagi skincare.

How much are the treatments?

Treatment prices are available on request or via the dedicated price list; there is also a separate skincare price list.

I’m keen to get some advice / a treatment — what’s the process?

You complete medical and skin questionnaires first, then have a thorough consultation where Dr Caroline assesses your skin and formulates a personalised treatment plan. If medically suitable and time permits, same-day treatments can be performed. The consultation costs £50 and is fully redeemable against any future treatments (excluding skincare products).

How do I book an appointment?

You can book directly using the booking link on the website, fill in the contact form, or message via Instagram/Facebook. Alternatively, you can email drcarolinewarden@gmail.com.

How do I cancel or reschedule?

You can cancel or reschedule via your Glowday login. Cancellations within 48 hours incur a £25 fee; no-shows incur a £50 fee. Multiple short-notice reschedules may result in being unable to rebook.

Where are you located?

Our clinic is located at 2 Crown Passage, Hale, WA15 9GN, in the heart of Hale, South Manchester / Cheshire.

What should I do when I arrive?

Just come in the front door and take a seat in the reception area. We’ll send a contact number 24 hours before your appointment so you can reach us if there are any issues.

Will my treatment hurt?

We use ultra-fine needles and dermal fillers with local anaesthetic. We also offer distraction tools like vibration wands, fans, stress balls, cryo-balls, and strong numbing creams. Louise is often present to offer extra comfort and support.

You can pay by cash or card. There is a cash machine two minutes’ walk from the clinic at the Co-op on Altrincham Road. A pre-payment plan is not currently available, but is planned for the future.

What if there is a complication?

After every appointment you receive detailed aftercare instructions and Dr Warden’s personal mobile number. If there is a complication, advice and treatment post-procedure will be provided free of charge.

What if I don’t like the results?

Results cannot be guaranteed and refunds are not offered if you are unhappy. Treatments will eventually wear off naturally. If a dermal filler complication arises, dissolving is offered for free; dissolving for other reasons is available for a fee.

1. Your Skin and Your Overall Health

As the body's largest organ, your skin plays a key role in your immune system.

Your skin does more than protect you from the sun. Nerves in the deeper layers tell your brain when something is too hot, too cold or painful, alerting you to changes that could cause you harm. Fat in the deepest layer cushions your muscles and bones. For your skin to keep doing all of this well, it needs looking after, in the same way the rest of your body benefits from good food, quality sleep and regular exercise.

2. Skincare and Better Mental Health

You may have heard the phrase skincare is self care, and it is true. Looking after your skin can lift your mental wellbeing in the same way as caring for the rest of your body. A morning and evening routine is a tactile, soothing ritual, and its rhythm and consistency can quietly reduce stress and help keep you in the present moment.

Skincare is self care.

Concerns such as acne, rosacea, dryness, crepey skin, scarring, uneven texture and melasma can affect confidence and change how you see yourself. Taking back control of them can be genuinely transformative, for your appearance and your self esteem. Hormonal shifts during puberty, your monthly cycle, pregnancy, and especially perimenopause and menopause, all affect the skin, and they influence mood too. A considered routine can soften those changes, whether that means calming rosacea and redness or improving the appearance of pigmentation after pregnancy.

3. Skincare and the Signs of Ageing

We are not fond of the word "anti ageing", because it frames growing older as something to fight against, when it is actually a privilege that not everyone is given. How you approach ageing is entirely your choice. Some embrace their lines. Audrey Hepburn once said, "Tell them not to mess with my face. I've earned every one of those wrinkles." Others prefer to soften the process a little. Neither is wrong.

We cannot stop time, but we can help your skin look its best for the age you are, if that is what you want. Medical grade skincare has genuinely changed what is possible, helping to support collagen, soften fine lines, brighten the complexion and clarify the skin. Moving on from over the counter products to medical grade and prescription skincare can make a real difference. If that appeals but choosing the right products feels overwhelming, a consultation is exactly where to start.

4. Protecting Your Investment in Aesthetic Treatments

Think of your skin as a canvas. To get the most from any aesthetic treatment, it helps to manage the skin concerns that would otherwise hold your results back. Caring for your skin alongside treatment tends to give better, longer lasting results, and often means you need less over time.

This is why we take a holistic, skin first approach and always begin with skincare. During your consultation we show you how to look after your skin between appointments, so you protect your investment and keep your results for longer.
