Aesthetics Clinic near Huntingdon

Why clients travel from Huntingdon

Avismo is a small, nurse-led team of registered healthcare professionals, working together since the clinic opened in 2014. Prescription-only treatments are assessed and prescribed by Karen, our founder and independent nurse prescriber, who stays responsible for your prescription through to your review appointment.

The clinic is Save Face accredited, following an independent assessment of our training, clinical standards, treatment environment and patient care, and we are recommended in The Tweakments Guide. Karen and Andrea are registered nurses regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and Lorna, an operating department practitioner, is regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council. Between them they carry out the full range of our treatments, and Andrea also offers medical acupuncture.

For many people in Huntingdon, the appeal is a small, regulated team who take time over consultations and are close enough to come back to for reviews.

Getting to the clinic from Huntingdon

The drive from Huntingdon to St Ives is short and straightforward. Most people head east on the A14 and then take the A1123 towards St Ives, or follow the A1123 directly through Houghton. Edison Road is on the edge of St Ives, so you do not need to go through the town centre.

Allow around 15 minutes in normal traffic, and a little longer at peak times on the A14. We have plenty of parking on site, and we are happy to talk you through the last part of the journey if it is your first visit.

If you are coming by bus, services between Huntingdon and St Ives run regularly, including the guided busway route. Check the current timetable before you travel, as the final stretch to Edison Road may involve a short walk.

What Huntingdon clients often book

Anti-wrinkle treatment for forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet is one of our most requested treatments, along with Profhilo for skin that has lost hydration and firmness.

Skin-focused treatments are popular too. SkinPen microneedling and chemical peels help with texture, scarring and pigmentation, and our facial skin analysis is a good place to start if you are not sure what your skin needs. Laser hair removal is a regular booking, as it involves a course of sessions every few weeks and the short journey makes that easy to keep up.

What a first visit looks like

Your first appointment is a free consultation, and there is no obligation to go ahead with anything. We start by talking through what you would like to change, what you have tried before, and your medical history, including any medication, allergies and previous treatments. This matters for safety and it helps us understand whether a treatment is right for you at all.

We then look closely at your skin and face, often in different lighting, and explain what we can see. If you would like more detail, a facial skin analysis with the MC10 system shows what is happening beneath the surface. From there we suggest a plan, explain how each option works, what results are realistic, how long they tend to last, the possible side effects and the cost, so you can decide in your own time.

Prescription-only treatments, such as anti-wrinkle injections, are only prescribed after a face-to-face consultation with Karen, who is an independent nurse prescriber, and the treatment itself always takes place on a different day. Some other treatments can be carried out on the same day if it is appropriate and you are comfortable, and others need a patch test or a separate appointment. Either way, you will leave knowing exactly what the next step would be.
