Have questions about blood or hormone testing? Take a look at the frequently asked questions below, or use the contact button to get in touch directly.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No referral is needed. I work alongside your existing healthcare, and depending on the test selected, private doctor’s notes are included. You may wish to share your results with your GP so they have the full picture.
Are the tests accurate?
Yes. I only work with trusted, UK-registered laboratories for blood testing, and with the DUTCH Test for advanced urine-based hormone testing, both of which provide gold-standard accuracy.
Do I need to come into the clinic?
Many tests can be taken in-clinic for faster results, but home testing kits are also available for certain panels. I’ll guide you on the most suitable option for you.
How long until I get my results?
This depends on the test. Most blood tests are returned within 2–5 working days, while hormone panels like the DUTCH Test may take 2–3 weeks.
Will you explain my results?
Absolutely. We’ll go through your results together in a one-to-one consultation, with clear explanations and tailored recommendations.
What if I need more tests later?
That’s no problem. We can add on or repeat tests as needed, based on your symptoms, progress, and health goals.
EXCELLENT Based on 35 reviews Helen Hutt2025-06-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a client of Emma’s for 6 months, and I enjoy the treatments with her: she has taught me to take care of my skin. Emma is brilliant, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. I trust and recommend Emma wholeheartedly. Anne Wilson2025-05-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started having skin treatments with Emma around 18 months ago and the condition of my skin has dramatically improved. Emma is incredibly knowledgeable and professional and a pleasure to visit. If I had known as an acne ridden teenager that my skin could look like this, it would have given me hope. Tiffany Joy2025-04-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently visited Emma for a treatment and couldn’t be happier with the results. She dissolved my lips, added subtle chin filler, and also removed my Campbell de Morgan spots. Her attention to detail and calm, professional approach instantly made me feel at ease. Emma has a real wealth of knowledge and is clearly passionate about what she does. She’s incredibly attentive and always puts her clients’ welfare first—everything was explained thoroughly, and I felt in such safe hands throughout. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for expert care and beautifully natural results! Emily Cairns2025-04-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely amazing professional and all round awesome human being. My go-to for all skin care questions. And my 6 weekly vitamin B shot. Thanks Emma! Carley Stone2025-04-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emma is amazing and makes you feel really at ease. She knows exactly what treatment is best for your skin and recommends the best products to use. I am so happy with my skin and how it looks! Del “Somerset83” Ellis2025-03-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently started having treatments with Emma through a friend recommendation & I can not speak more highly of her & her abilities. Emma knows her stuff & is highly professional & supportive in her approach. She listens to you. I've battled with skin concerns & issues with acne scarring/blemishes/pigmentation for years. Knocking my confidence. My skin has honestly never looked & felt so good through her advice & treatments. I've also just had my Botox (3 areas) done with Emma for the first time after being really disappointed for the last x3 occasions with a very popular online social media Aesthetics company. The difference is insane. I literally wouldn't go anywhere else for it now. Emma is kind, caring & extremely knowledgeable. She is an absolute gem of a find. If you're thinking of using her for a treatment then do it. You will not be disappointed & her results show that you get what you pay for. Avoid the targeting social media companies offering cheaper deals on Botox. There's a reason they cost less than everywhere else. You get what you pay for with Aesthetics. I literally cannot wait for my next treatment with her. The Vampire facial. Thank you Emma ❤️ Love Lifestyle2025-03-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emma is fantastic! I’m so happy with the results of my treatments. The care, advice and expertise from Emma was very much appreciated. I highly recommend Emma. Jessie R2024-12-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emma is extremely passionate, knowledgeable and wonderful. She took the time to talk through the treatment putting my mind instantly at ease and made sure I was comfortable throughout. She truly wants the best results for you and will continue with advice or treatment until you get that result. Could not recommend Emma more!!! Natasha Beer2024-11-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emma is amazing at what she does, she’s very professional and makes you feel at ease when having treatment. I went to Emma with what felt like dull skin, she recommended what I needed and what I would benefit from. I’ve seen Emma three times now and her treatments have left me feeling amazing, I can now leave the house without makeup and have the confidence I was lacking with my skin. I would highly recommend Emma to anyone. Louise Horsey2024-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emma is so knowledgeable and immediately puts you at ease. I’ve always suffered with cystic acne and uneven skin, but by sticking with Emma and following the skin care routine she tailored for me, I now feel confident leaving the house without any makeup - something I’ve never felt comfortable doing before! I totally trust Emma and am always excited for my next appointment! Thank you Emma 😃
