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.

Skincare Routine Guide | Doctor Led Skincare, Hale & Altrincham — Dr. Caroline Warden Skin & Aesthetic Clinic

Your skincare routine is the foundation of healthy, glowing skin. It matters just as much as any in clinic treatment, arguably more. At Dr Caroline Warden Skin & Aesthetic Clinic in Hale, Cheshire, our doctor led approach builds evidence based, sustainable routines for real people with real lives. Led by Dr Caroline Warden, an NHS GP and aesthetic doctor, this local skincare guide will help you understand what to use, when and why, and where professional treatments fit in. Everything starts with the right medical grade skincare for your skin.

Step 1: Know Your Skin and Your Starting Point

Before you choose products, you need to know what you are working with. In clinic, we look at your skin type, whether dry, oily, combination or normal, and your skin condition, such as sensitivity, acne, rosacea, pigmentation, ageing or a damaged barrier. Many of our patients from Hale, Altrincham and the wider South Manchester area believe they have sensitive skin when in fact their barrier is simply over stripped from too many harsh products.

In your skin consultation in Hale, we talk through your current routine, medications, hormones and lifestyle, then assess your skin closely. From there we design a realistic, step by step plan that fits around school runs, work shifts and busy commutes into Manchester.

Step 2: The Ideal Morning Routine, Protect and Prevent

Your morning routine should be quick, gentle and focused on protection.

1. Gentle cleanse

A simple, non stripping cleanser to remove overnight oil and sweat. This matters especially in more built up areas like Altrincham, Sale or Stockport, where pollution can aggravate sensitive or rosacea prone skin.

2. Hydrating layer

A hydrating serum or light moisturiser to support the skin barrier. Ideal for patients who work in air conditioned Manchester offices or heated hospital environments.

3. Targeted serum, if needed

For pigmentation, dullness or early fine lines, we may introduce vitamin C or other antioxidants once your barrier is strong enough. This is always tailored in clinic, never a copy and paste of a generic online routine.

4. SPF 50, every single day

The non negotiable step, even in Cheshire's grey weather. Daily sun protection is essential if you are investing in treatments such as microneedling or chemical peels in Hale, because it protects your results and prevents further damage.

Step 3: The Ideal Evening Routine, Cleanse, Treat and Repair

Evenings are where your routine does the heavy lifting.

1. Double cleanse, if you wear SPF or makeup

A first cleanse to remove SPF and makeup, and a second to actually clean the skin. We choose formulas carefully for rosacea or eczema prone skin, common among our Hale and Disley patients.

2. Active treatment step

Depending on your skin, this might include a retinoid or retinol for ageing, texture and congestion, exfoliating acids for dullness, pigmentation and blocked pores, or barrier repair serums for sensitivity and redness. We introduce these slowly and in the right order, where they suit your skin, especially if you are also having in clinic treatments.

3. Moisturiser and barrier support

We finish with a moisturiser chosen for your skin type, lighter for oily or combination skin, richer and more soothing for dry or sensitised skin.

Step 4: Where In Clinic Treatments Fit Into Your Routine

Home skincare is your base. In clinic treatments are your accelerators. At our Hale clinic, and always where it genuinely suits you, we may recommend:

Microneedling, sometimes combined with exosomes, to support collagen, fine lines, the appearance of acne scarring and overall skin quality.
Chemical peels, to brighten, smooth and even out pigmentation with controlled, medical grade exfoliation.
Skin boosters and polynucleotides, for deep hydration, glow and skin quality.

Your routine is not just a list of products. It is a joined up plan that combines what you do at home with a realistic treatment calendar in clinic.

Step 5: Making It Realistic for Your Life

A perfect routine is useless if you never stick to it. When we create a personalised routine in Hale, we start with real life questions first: how much time you realistically have morning and night, whether you are mostly at home, in an office or on the go, whether you commute or travel for work, and what your biggest friction point is right now, whether that is time, sensitivity, breakouts, pigmentation or consistency.

How we build a routine you will actually stick to

Rather than handing you a long list of steps, we build your routine in layers, so it works on your busiest week and your best week.

The bare minimum routine, for busy weeks. A simple, results driven plan that protects your barrier and keeps momentum, usually two to three quick steps.
The full routine, when you have more time. Once your skin is stable, we add targeted steps for fine lines, pigmentation, breakouts or texture, without overwhelming your skin.
A joined up treatment plan. If you are having in clinic treatments, we align your home routine with procedures such as microneedling, chemical peels and skin boosters, so your skincare supports your results rather than working against them.
