So glad I found Real You clinic!I was looking at 2 other clinics in London which I didn't feel comfortable using - their … More communication felt very factory like and impersonal, not to mention their expensive quotes for the under eye vein removal treatment I wanted.As soon as I got in touch with Real You, it was a different feeling. I managed to get an appointment shortly after. Dr Kathryn is kind and welcoming, she gives background on herself and her clinic. The clinic itself is very cute, fresh and more of a boutique style set up.Dr Kathryn took the time to explain the treatment, take in depth photos, explain what would happen .etc. I'm very happy with the results and will be going back for other treatments. Highly recommend.
