Membership FAQs
Q: What actually is the Skin Health Membership?
A: It's an ongoing skin health programme designed to help you achieve your skin goals through consistent treatments, expert guidance and a personalised plan. Rather than booking treatments here and there, we work with you over time to build healthier skin in a structured, evidence-based way.
Q: Is the membership only for people with problem skin?
A: Not at all. Whether you're looking to manage acne, reduce pigmentation, improve rosacea, soften signs of ageing, or simply keep your skin healthy and glowing, the membership is tailored to your individual goals.
Q: Why do I need a membership instead of just booking treatments when I feel like it?
A: You absolutely can book treatments as and when you like. The membership simply helps you stay consistent and spread the cost of treatments throughout the year. Healthy skin is a long-term investment, and regular treatments combined with the right skincare often produce better, more sustainable results than occasional appointments. Plus membership comes with lots of extra goodies such as access to Alchemy Academy -Hannah's Skin Health Hub, personalised skin coaching and at home routines, 10% off our Medik8 products, and lots of extra members-only treats!
Q: Will I be tied into treatments I don't want?
A: No. Your treatment plan is personalised and can evolve as your skin changes. We'll always recommend what we believe is best for your skin based on our clinical assessment, and we'll explain why we're recommending it.
Q: Do I have to use all of my treatment credits every month?
A: While your membership is designed to support consistent skin health, it's also a great way to work towards those more advanced treatments. By allowing your credits to build up, you can spread the cost over time and use them when you're ready, while still enjoying all of your ongoing membership benefits. We're here to help you plan your treatment journey so you get the most from your membership.
Q: What if my skin changes?
A: That's completely normal. Stress, hormones, seasons, medication and lifestyle can all affect your skin. We'll continually reassess your progress and adapt your treatment plan whenever it's needed.
Q: Do I still need a skincare routine at home?
A: Yes.
Professional treatments and home skincare work hand in hand. That's why our Skin Health Plans include personalised skin coaching and a tailored at-home skincare routine that evolves alongside your skin's changing needs. We'll recommend products that genuinely support your goals and complement your treatment plan, but we'll never encourage you to buy products you don't need. Our focus is always on helping you understand your skin and making informed choices that deliver real results.
Q: Can I join if I've never had professional skincare treatments before?
A: Absolutely. Many of our members are completely new to professional skincare. We'll guide you through every step, explain everything clearly, and create a plan that's appropriate for your skin and your confidence level.
Q: Will you try to sell me lots of extra treatments?
A: No. Our approach is always evidence-led. We'll recommend treatments because we genuinely believe they'll benefit your skin, not because they're the newest trend or the most expensive option.
Q: Can I join if I've never had professional skincare treatments before?
A: Absolutely. Many of our members are completely new to professional skincare. We'll guide you through every step, explain everything clearly, and create a plan that's appropriate for your skin and your confidence level.
Q: How do I know which membership is right for me?
A: We'll help you choose based on your skin concerns, goals, lifestyle and budget. There's no pressure to choose the highest level, the best membership is simply the one that suits your journey.
Q: What if I only want injectable treatments?
A: Your membership can absolutely support injectable treatments, but we also believe healthy skin provides the best foundation for any aesthetic treatment. We'll always recommend a balanced approach that supports your long-term skin health.
Q: Why do you focus so much on skin health?
A: Because healthy skin responds better to treatments, often requires less intervention over time, and simply looks its best. Our aim isn't to chase quick fixes, it's to help you build strong, resilient skin that continues to improve month after month.
Q: Is there a minimum commitment?
A: We encourage members to view this as a skin health journey rather than a one-off treatment. Healthy, resilient skin takes time, and it's through consistency that you'll usually see the most meaningful improvements.
For this reason, our Skin Health Plans are structured as an annual membership, allowing us to create a personalised, long-term approach and give your skin the time and support it needs to thrive.
We understand that circumstances can change, so while we recommend committing to the journey for the best possible results, you have the flexibility to cancel your membership at any time.
Q: What makes Aesthetic Alchemy's membership different?
A: We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every membership begins with understanding your skin through a detailed consultation and skin analysis. From there, we create a personalised plan, monitor your progress, adapt treatments as your skin changes, and support you every step of the way.
What makes our approach different is that we understand healthy skin isn't created through one-off treatments or a month or two of trying to "fix" your skin. Just like going to the gym, real results come from commitment, consistency and the right approach over time.
Your skin needs daily support at home through a tailored skincare routine, alongside targeted in-clinic treatments that give it the extra boost it needs to improve and maintain its health.
Our Skin Health Plans are designed to bridge that gap between professional treatments and everyday skincare, giving you the guidance, accountability and expertise needed to create lasting change.
It's about building a long-term partnership focused on healthier skin—not simply selling treatments.
Q: How do the treatment credits work?
A: Your monthly membership payment is converted into treatment credits that are added to your account each month. You can then use those credits towards any treatment at Aesthetic Alchemy.
Q: Can I save my credits for a larger treatment?
A: Yes! Many of our members choose to build up their credits over a few months and use them towards a more advanced treatment. We're always happy to help you plan how to get the most from your membership.
Q: Can I use all of my credits at once?
A: Absolutely. As long as you've built up enough credits in your account, you're welcome to use them on a single treatment or spread them across multiple appointments.
Q: What happens if I don't have enough credits for the treatment I want?
A: No problem at all. You can simply pay the difference on the day, allowing you to put your existing credits towards the cost of your treatment.
Q: Can I top up my credits?
A: Yes, you can top up your account at any time if you'd like to build your balance more quickly.
Q: Do my credits expire each month?
A: No. Your credits continue to build up in your account, giving you the flexibility to plan your treatments around your schedule and your skin's needs.
Q: Do I get a refund if I haven't used all of my credits at the end of the year?
A: Membership credits are intended to be used towards your skin journey and aren't redeemable for cash. They don't have a cash value, so unused credits aren't refunded. We'll always encourage you to make the most of your membership benefits and can help you plan treatments throughout the year.
Q: What happens if I decide to cancel my membership?
A: Any details regarding notice periods and the use of remaining credits are outlined in our membership terms and conditions. If you're ever unsure, just ask—we'll happily explain how it works before you make any decisions.
Q: Can I use my credits on any treatment?
A: Yes. Your membership credits can be used towards any of our treatments, giving you the flexibility to choose what is most appropriate for your skin at that point in your journey.
As your skin evolves, your treatment needs may change too. That's why we don't lock you into a set treatment plan. We'll continue to assess your skin, discuss your goals, and help you decide where your credits will have the greatest impact.
Q: Can someone else use my credits?
A: Memberships and treatment credits are personal to you and can't be transferred to another person.
Q: What if I don't need a treatment one month?
A: That's absolutely fine. Your credits remain on your account, so you can use them when the time is right for your treatment plan.
Q: Do my credits expire each month?
A: No. Your credits continue to build up in your account, giving you the flexibility to plan your treatments around your schedule and your skin's needs.
Q: Can I check how many credits I have left?
A: Yes. You can view your available treatment credits in your member area at any time, or simply ask us and we'll be happy to let you know.
Q: Can I change to a different membership later?
A: In many cases, yes. As your goals or circumstances change, you may find that a different membership suits you better. Just speak to us and we'll talk you through your options.
Q: What if I need to postpone my appointments?
A: Life happens! If you need to reschedule, just let us know as early as possible. Your credits remain on your account, so we can simply rearrange your treatment for a more convenient time.
