botonics Plastic Surgery Group Recensioni 

I had moderate and persistent acne for several years. I tried all the over-the-counter treatments I could find and all the treatments prescribed by my GP, including antibiotics. However nothing seemed to help and it would inevitably return. I was recommended accutane/Isotretinoin but didn't want to wait for NHS treatment, which was 6-12 months.

I found Botonics online and decided to do a course of isotretinoin with them, being able to complete the course of treatment virtually really appealed to me as I wouldn't have to travel for appointments/blood tests.

After submitting an initial enquiry, I had a first consultation with a doctor 2 days later, during which I was approved for isotretinoin therapy. My initial consultation, which was free, was organised very quickly. The doctor was very knowledgeable and clearly had a lot of experience with this treatment. They were very thorough and I didn't feel like I was being pushed to sign up/pay for treatment.

After completing my blood tests, I began taking isotretinoin only 9 days after submitting an initial enquiry- I was very pleased with how fast things went!

I had to take three blood tests throughout my treatment which were sent to me, all at home and self-administered. Blood tests were really easy to do and send back, also saved having to go to a blood test appointment.

I had regular check-up appointments with my doctor throughout the course, roughly once every month or two. However, I was also always able to contact the doctor with any questions or concerns about anything, side effects, dosage etc. They were always very responsive and answered my questions effectively.

Despite doing the treatment entirely online, I do not feel this limited or hindered my treatment or my experience at all. There was always someone I could call or email at any point throughout my treatment.

Seven months later and I have just completed my course. I am beyond happy with my results and it feels very alien to me having clear skin. My self-confidence and happiness has increased massively and I'm really glad I decided to take isotretinoin, my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! The money spent was definitely worth it and I would highly recommend completing isotretinoin therapy with Botonics.

For refence:

My weight: 72kg
Cumulative dose: 11,400mg- 158mg/kg
Duration: 7 months- 50/60/60/60/60/40/40

I have just finished a 7 month course of Isotretinoin and it is definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made!

I have suffered with acne since my teenage years on and off (other than 2 lovely year-long spells during and after each of my pregnancies!) I have tried various topical treatments, oral antibiotics and contraceptives prescribed by GP but nothing to great effect and often the topical treatments made my skin red and sore and in some cases much worse. I had read lots about Roaccutane prior to taking the plunge, my plan had been to approach my GP and request referral to dermatology however they yet again prescribed me ineffective antibiotics and I was told I would be waiting up to 12 months for an initial consultation so I decided to take the matter into my own hands!

I approached botonics and within a couple of days I had my initial consultation with the lovely and very understanding Dr Divya, it was a no pressure service which didn’t matter as I had already made my mind up that this was the treatment I wanted to try. They sent the blood testing kit in the post and I had an unbelievable 2 day turn around in receiving my medication after returning my blood sample (it’s a fingerprick test).

The treatment itself was pretty smooth sailing for me, it is true you get VERY DRY but with a good moisturizing routine it is manageable. Lip balm is a must, I think I applied mine every 10 minutes at one stage! Also Vaseline in the nostrils every night (very attractive!) Other than that, the first side effect I had was a very itchy scalp which started only a few days into treatment, this lasted for a week max so don’t let it put you off! My joints have been sore on and off and I have had days where I felt quite tired but pacing myself helped with this. Perhaps the most worrying (initially) side effect for me was I did encounter some hair loss right from about a month in, I have long hair so this was very noticeable to me and I must admit I was worried however I persevered and although I am definitely still shedding more hair than usual I have plenty left and there is evidence of new growth so DON’T PANIC! One positive side effect is within a couple of weeks I went from having to wash my hair daily to only needing to do it once a week-huge bonus!!

I used to dread looking in the mirror each morning for fear of what would’ve erupted overnight, I wouldn’t wear my hair up because of the big cysts along my jawline and on my neck, I found I wouldn’t make eye contact with people and even with make-up on I felt like everyone would notice the lumps and bumps underneath - I can honestly say I just got back from the school run with no make up on and my hair up! It feels like a miracle.

Thank you Dr Divya, Bill and the rest of the team for responding to any queries I had almost immediately and for making the whole process very smooth from start to finish. Of course I am pleased to be at the end of my journey, but it’s not been half as bad as I had first expected it to be!

I've been dealing with acne for 10+ years and finished my course of Isotretinoin with Botonics 1 month ago - this is the first time in my life I've actually felt good about my skin!

Trying to get help through the NHS over the years was difficult and slow - I'd tried everything and still had so long to wait to be put on Isotretinoin. I finally found Botonics during the pandemic (since the NHS wasn't readily available I needed to look elsewhere) and the quality of service I received was a breath of fresh air. Honestly, I wish I hadn't waited so long to start looking at private practices. From start to finish, treatment with Botonics was completely stress-free and very simple even though I chose to do the treatment from home (i.e. blood tests by post, video consultations, etc.). The process was so quick and organised; I started treatment within a couple of weeks of contacting them.

The support they offer is top-tier - you can reach out through a phone call, or if you prefer emails you'll receive a response almost immediately (often within minutes!!). Their whole team is very kind and understanding, the regular checkups are really reassuring and all of the advice given is spot-on.

The only thing I wish was different was that I would've found them sooner!

Dr reza alamouti is one of the most nicest surgeon i have ever met..hes done 2 operations for me breast reduction and full adomidplasta..both 5* all his team of surgeons doctors are a fantastic team they really are.. would recommend him hes the best..

I had terrible persistent acne for years. I tried everything at the NHS to get rid of it, went to various different places for facials and treatments and nothing worked. I finally decided to go to Botonics and I am so glad I did! Wish I had done it sooner! Everyone I talked to was extremely professional and friendly. My skin hasn't looked this good in years and I feel so much more confident. Anytime I had a question about the medication/etc there was always someone who could answer my questions quickly and efficiently. I would recommend their Roaccutane service to anyone suffering from acne. It's worth it!

I’d suffered with acne ever since I could remember, it massively affected my confidence and I had tried all avenues to try and clear it - trips to the doctors, salon treatments, hundreds of pounds on skincare products that I thought were going to be THE product to answer all of my prayers. All of which ended in disappointment. Eventually I learned to live with it, accepting that was just my skin. I had researched Roaccutane on a number of occasions but always thought it was out of my reach. One evening, I came across botonics. I thought it was too good to be true! I submitted an inquiry and less than 8 hours later I received an email to organise my free consultation. This was scheduled for the following day with Dr Divya. Dr Divya really listened to me as I talked her through my skin journey and I felt like there was light at the end of the tunnel. Completing my first home blood test was straightforward and within days I had received the medication. Over the next few months, I had regular check ups with Dr Divya - she immediately put me at ease answering any concerns I had about particular side effects. It was comforting to know the botonics team were only an email/ phone call away as they were so responsive to questions I had and always on hand to offer advice. 5 months later and I’m really pleased with the results. My skin is so clear, the texture of my skin feels so smooth and I no longer feel like I need to hide my face under makeup to feel good. I cannot fault botonics for their service and support. I would recommend them to anyone looking to start their Roaccutane journey.

I've just finished Isotretinoin treatment with Botonics...
I've just finished Isotretinoin (accutane) treatment with Botonics and i'm incredibly happy I found them during my search for private options! They've been super helpful and very very fast at sorting everything out from the start and that hasn't changed throughout my treatment. Bill and Cassie are one email away if you need to ask a question or want to discuss anything.

The convenient blood test kits sent to my home have been a godsend during Covid meaning I didn't have to travel to their practice in London. Everything is so efficient.

The treatement itself was manageable with my dosage and for the time frame i've been taking them. Botonics are very interested in making sure you're feeling ok, not just with the blood tests but with the regular Whatsapp calls with Dr Divya. She goes the extra mile to make sure you're coping ok while under treatment and recommends lots of things to help with easing certain side effects.

I've never used a private practice before and always stayed on the NHS, but during Covid the NHS hasn't been readily available and as quick as Botonics has been and I really felt confident paying for the brilliant service they provide.

If you're thinking about using Accutane to treat Acne then give Botonics a call, they'll happily answer any questions you have, and make you feel at ease.

I’ve always had acne since I was in primary school and it continued till sixth form, by then I had tried all the over the counter products and antibiotics but nothing worked and it really worried me as I was developing really bad scars on my face which of course affected me emotionally and physically as it was really painful. I had contacted the NHS however I was told my first checkup appointment would be in a year which was too long to wait and so I contacted botonics dermatologist which I can say was the best decision I had made. After speaking with a member of their team, I was given a free consultation with one of their doctors a week later which was amazing. The whole process was very quick and well organised which resulted in me getting my medication within 2 weeks of joining botonics. I had scheduled checkup with my own personal dermatologist which was nice.

The treatment itself went well, I had a purge fit the first 2 months which I wasn’t worried about as I had been informed by my dermatologist that a purge was going to happen. Whilst on the medication I mainly experienced really dry skin on both my face and body which I used products like cerave lotion, cetraben ointment, burts bees and carmex for. There are other side effects as well which I was made aware about as I received lots of emails from botonics advising me on what to do if I experienced certain side effects, this made me feel more comfortable and in control.

After the treatment I can say I’m very happy with my results and would have done this sooner had I known I would have such great results, my skin looks great and my confidence has definitely increased. I am really happy I contacted botonics and I would definitely recommend them to anyone struggling with their acne.

The team are very helpful and when you are worried or need help they are quick to reassure you. I am grateful for how smooth the process was in terms of getting the medication delivered etc. The Monthly checkups also gave me reassurance that everything is going smoothly- Overall the team as a whole and Dr Diviya are great and they are always there if you need help.

I found Naruschka on line from excellent reviews and I have not looked back since 2017 . She is the most amazing practitioner, never pushy and always listening to what I actually want ( or don’t want ) to look like .
Her advice is based on her obvious knowledge of anatomy and the science of the products used . I have absolute trust in her ability .
I started with Botox and despite my fear of fillers , have progressed ( with fears unfounded ) to a natural look with them .She’s worked on my nose to mouth lines / cheeks and forehead and I’ve been happy with all .
We now have a plan to tackle my sagging neck as I head towards my 60 th next year . I don’t want to look younger , like many of us . I just don’t want to look angry and sad !

You couldn’t be in safer hands . Backed up by Bill and Cassie in the office who always respond and are extremely helpful , botanics are the best package in town !

I have been battling with moderate acne for years which severley knocked my confidence..i had tried many treatments both prescription and natural and nothing seemed to make much of a difference.
I was on a waiting list for nhs under prescription and then covid hit! I was adamant to start as soon as I can and came across Botonics when researching online for alternative providers of the medication.

It really is the best decision i made, i have got through the 6 months with minimal side effects and am finally able to not have my skin at the forefront of my mind.

Bill and the team have been amazing and assisted me every step of the way and the payment plan helped me spread the cost of treatment.

I had regular check ins with Dr Divya who was also great and answered any questions i had.

Overall the service provided was great and professional and i would highly recommend.

When I was considering accutane I had two questions - whether to go through with it, given the horror stories online, and whether to go with Botonics. I can say yes to both. Accutane cleared my skin and apart from dryness my side effects were very minor. I think it helps to remember that those who have a bad time on accutane (who are rare) are much more likely to post online than those who have a normal time. I feel a lot more confident now! Botonics were excellent - the consultation was quick and free, i begun treatment very quickly, and it was very easy to complete my treatment during the pandemic, with the drug delivered to my home and the option to complete my two blood tests at home too. My derm was helpful - we had a monthly call and I could contact her or other Botonics staff whenever with questions. Replies were always really prompt. I can definitely recommend them! I did have a purge but my derm made me aware of this possibility and by month 3/4 I was clearly up nicely. Apart from dryness and some mild, very manageable muscle aches when I was on my highest dose, the treatment was fine. I’d suffered from moderate acne for a long time and had tried everything (antibiotics, topicals, diet, skincare products…) and am very happy I chose both accutane and Botonics.

I suffered from acne for so long was on waiting list on NHS for months and months and tried all the over the counter products and antibiotics but nothing worked.
the consultation went very well it was all quick and easy and no messing, it was all done over a WhatsApp call. The doc answered all my questions and this was all free of charge and obligations to do anything.
From when I phoned up to ask about booking a consultation with the doctor to getting the roaccutane prescription and actually starting the course, it was all very quick and within two weeks I had started my roaccutane course and after that had follow up calls and blood tests arranged to monitor my progression.
The side affects I experienced most were dry lips and corner of my lips cracking, dry flaky skin on my face mainly the nose area and I had a purge around the second week point which lasted for about a week and then I started to see a real improvement. To cope with the dry lips I used coca butter lip balms and aquaphor lip balm too which helped alot. Then for my moisturiser I used cera ve face cream to get rid of the dryness and also there hydrating face wash too.
I wish I had started this course sooner instead of going through all the over the counter products that never made any difference, this course is alot better and more effective than anything out there and would have saved alot of time and money. Its been a real confidence boost getting clear skin and I would recommend botonics roaccutane course to anyone with bad acne who is thinking of doing it.

I have been suffering from moderate, extremely persistent acne for over 2 years now. I hit my late 20's and BAM it was acne city central on my face. I had tried everything from every topical, hormone therapy, antibiotics right down to extreme chemical peels. Literally nothing worked for me. I waited 1 years on an NHS waiting list for a dermatologist just to be told "it's not that bad, even Cameron Diaz has acne so don't worry about it". I was at my wits end. My fiancé knew how much my skin was getting me down and suggested I see a private dermatologist. After scouring the Internet and literally hundreds of reviews, Botonics seemed to be the answer. I filled in a simple form on their website to express my interest, and to my surprise I had a call the very next day from Bill to see if I wanted to arrange a free consultation with one of their dermatologists. I was booked in with Dr Divya at a time that suited me and she was so wonderful. She listed to my concerns, understood what I was trying to say and helped me make the decision to start isotretinoin. I was made aware of all the side effects and had to do a blood test in order to make sure I was healthy enough to start the medication. After this, my meds were sent out to me and I was ready to start!!

I have just finished my first month and already I have noticed a HUGE difference in my skin. I haven't had any deep cysts at all, however I have had a purge of a few little spots (which heal in 3/4 days on their own). My skin is definitely very dry and I have now become a lip ba connoisseur!! I've got another 5 months to go yet but from the results so far I am very impressed. Bill and the Botonics team are so quick to respond to any silly question I may have, and nothing is too much for them to help with. I WISH I hadn't spend so many months of my life miserable and locked away when a solution was right in front of me all this time. I cannot recommend Botonics highly enough. Please let this review help you make the right choice to just go for it, if you are in doubt please don't be, Botonics is wonderful and they are slowly giving me my confidence and happiness back!

I have suffered all my life with severe cystic acne, every treatment plan under the sun was recommended and tried on me from benzoyl peroxide to various antibiotic treatments. Many had little to no effect and the ones that did help were only ever temporary. I had flirted with the idea of roaccutane before and found my way onto a treatment course on the NHS but, being a teenager, I didn't bother sticking with my plan and got nowhere near the desired dosage. Luckily, my acne largely subsided naturally. Years later in my early twenties my acne had come back with a vengeance. After another round of various treatments and remedies, I decided I needed to get my hands on Roaccutane again. Unfortunately, this meant going the route of getting a GP's referral and waiting for a dermatologist. After patiently sitting on a waiting list for 6 months (it has now been a year with no contact from the NHS) I decided to go private.

Within 12 hours of me registering my interest on Botonics' website I was warmly greeted, talked through the process, had all my questions answered and left feeling confident in my decision. A factor in my choice was the fact that they offer a postal service for everything and that all my medication could be sent to my door and I could send blood tests without having to visit a clinic. This was extremely useful given the current health climate. My initial consultation filled me with hope and the doctor was happy to give me a few insights into coping with the various side effects.

Upon starting treatment, these side effects certainly made themselves known, for the first 6-8 weeks, I found new challenges in keeping my face, and especially my lips, from drying up. However, I found as long as I put aside some time for a little self maintenance, it wasn't nearly as scary as various online sources would have you believe. I'm not sure if it was just my body getting used to it but after the first 2 months I started to notice the side effects settling and the improvements showing day to day. 4 months after that and I'm proud to say my skin is clear of any acne. There is no pain from my back and shoulders anymore and my self-confidence has never been higher. I cannot imagine the thought of still being on a waiting list. Throughout the process, Botonics were only an email or phone call away, were happy to help me with literally anything I needed regarding the treatment and were extremely accommodating with any issues I had.

If you're on the fence about roaccutance I cannot recommend this service enough.

Being in my early 20’s and suffering from asymmetrical breasts, I really struggled with my self confidence. I knew that I didn’t want implants and began to lose hope that I’d be able to be confident with wearing a bikini or low cut top. I came across the fat transfer procedure which would have been the more natural look that I was wanting but the uncertainty of whether the transplanted fat would stay or dissolve left me unconfident.
I came across Botonics who offer a free (very informative) consultation with the actual surgeon and booked one to weigh out my options. Dr Charakida was honest and open about the procedure and explained that the fat transfer would not make my breast symmetrical but can add volume to create the illusion that they were when I am dressed. After my consultation, I knew instantly that I wanted to go through with the procedure. I did some extra research on it to be sure and then booked in.

Botonics is a very popular surgery so book ahead!

Bill provided a transparent break down of the prices and what was included with my fat transfer procedure. I really love that, unlike some other clinics, they care for and arrange aftercare to ensure best results are met for each individual.
The surgery went amazingly, I felt comfortable and all my nerves were eased. The procedure took around 2 hours give or take and there was a nurse in the room to attend to me when I woke up from the GA.
A complimentary lunch and drink was given to me from the hospital and I was checked on regularly to ensure I was comfortable and well.
I was discharged a few hours later and went home to continue recovery. I do recommend pre arranged transport as opposed to public as there is a lot of leakage from the incisions where the fat it taken.

I cannot thank Dr Charakida, Bill and the rest of the team at Botonics enough for being so helpful, professional and responsive to any queries I had.

I would definitely recommend Botonics and would use them again in the future.

I came to Botonics on 9th June 2021 for a non-surgical nose job.
I can honestly say Naruschka has fixed my biggest insecurity. My main concern was that the tip of my nose leaned over towards one side, and I had asymmetries of my nostrils.
Although google searches seemed to suggest that non-surgical nose jobs are only beneficial for side profiles i.e. to fix bumps on bridges etc, I booked anyway after my consultation with Naruschka to which she said I will get approx a 60-70% improvement.

However, after the appointment in my eyes all asymmetries have been resolved and i notice a significant difference!
I would recommend Naruschka wholeheartedly and I already know I will be using her services for a very very long time.

Thank you Naruschka !!!!

I have had mild acne for just over 20 years now and had all but given up hope of having normal skin and being able to do the things that most people take for granted without feeling self-conscious and awkward. After having tried various over the counter products and multiple courses of antibiotics in my early 20s I turned to a private dermatologist who prescribed Roaccutane and referred me to my local hospital for treatment on the NHS. The results were amazing, and I had 1 and a half years of clear skin. Unfortunately, as is sometimes the case, my acne returned and I was never able to get Roaccutane prescribed again from my GP or dermatologist. When I found out that I could get a private prescription of Roaccutane my hope was renewed because it is the only medication that I have tried that works.
From the initial contact I made using the online form through to the arrival of the medication every step was well organized and documented. Clear instructions were sent by email, and the Botonics team were always easy to contact by phone. During the consultation the doctor put me at ease and at no time did I feel like my concerns weren’t being taken seriously (unlike my GP).
When taking the medication I noticed the common side effects of dry skin, cracked lips, dry nose, and some lethargy in the first month. The dry skin can be managed with a good oil-free moisturiser, the lips and nose with Vaseline. During that first month the side effects seemed more pronounced, my skin was dry and my scalp was itchy and there were outbreaks every few days. But after 6 weeks it started to subside and my skin was looking much clearer than before. The team at Botonics explained all this to me and suggested various products I could use to manage these side effects.
I am feeling confident about the future now for the first time in a long time, and my only regret is that I didn’t contact Botonics sooner. If you suffer from persistent acne I would highly recommend starting a course of Roaccutane.

I struggled with acne for years and had tried everything under the sun. I had previously had a prescription for isotretinoin, however did not manage to finish the entire course (I travelled a lot for work and it was too difficult to make all the face to face consultations required and often couldn’t find a pharmacy which could order the prescription in while I was in London). This experience was AMAZING. Dr. Divya was so lovely to deal with and everything was so smooth and easy! I can’t recommend the team highly enough - to be able to offer such a great service totally remote is brilliant and they couldn’t do enough to help.
It was so useful to be able to reach out with any questions and have them answered so quickly and efficiently by Bill and the team. The appointments are available at such accessible times as well.

I have suffered from cystic acne since I was around 13. This only got worse through my teenage years, to the point where my face was scarred and red all the time, even if I was having a good week. This really affected my confidence and my wallet as I was buying anything and everything that I thought could possibly help.

I had seen multiple GPs, some of which were very helpful (some who disregarded this as a normal part of puberty). I tried oral antibiotics/ topical creams on prescription and a multitude of expensive cleansers/ toners/ drug store acne treatments. No amount of washing or killing of bacteria through antibiotics (which are a short term treatment anyway) would get rid of it and I probably spend more than the cost of this treatment on skincare in the last year and a half.

Trying to see an NHS dermatologist in the city was difficult enough without the added complications of COVID and I was desperate for treatment. At the suggestion of a friend and a quick google search, I came across Botonics. I was initially sceptical that it may be a scam or dodgy website but after reading through dozens of reviews on multiple sites, I could only come across positive experiences and the same employees mentioned so I thought I’d give it a try.

Bill is friendly, informative and very good at explaining the process of treatment including the costs, duration, mail-kit delivery and return, and reminders for regular check-ups. He is always around for a phone call or a quick email if you every have questions or want to discuss anything. Dr Divya is a friendly, kind and very knowledgeable doctor who fielded my many questions with ease and is active on social media teaching about proper skincare herself. She made it painless to begin treatment after receiving my blood-tests and was always available to text/call should anything serious arise.

I have now finished my course of the medication and can very happily report a complete turnaround in my skin. The side-effects of dryness were acute for me since I have sensitive skin but with copious amounts of body lotion and high-strength lip balms, it was quite manageable and the results were definitely worth it.
