About Essence Medical Clinic

Our well-regarded cosmetic clinic in the heart of Glasgow is situated in Dundas Court, an impressive listed building in New City Road. We are in a discreet cul-de-sac location within a minute’s walk from Glasgow city centre and have our own private parking. Dundas Court has excellent links with the M8 motorway, which helps us attract patients from Edinburgh, Aberdeen and further afield.

All treatments start with a free, unhurried consultation in the beautiful and comfortable surroundings of Essence Medical Cosmetic Clinic. We will tell you about the range of procedures available to you and you will have the opportunity to ask as many questions as you wish. During your consultation you will be offered an in-depth facial analysis. Because we understand the complexities of the ageing process, how it affects anatomy, skin tone and volume loss, we can target these areas to offer appropriate treatments that will transform your appearance. Our cosmetic doctor will then recommend a balance of treatments that will best achieve the effects you desire.

Dundas Court is an elegant listed building prominently situated in the north side of New City Road

Privacy Policy and GDPR Compliant

Essence Medical Cosmetic Clinic values your privacy and wants to be clear about the data we collect, how we use it and your rights to control that information. This policy reflects the high standards established by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a set of laws passed in the European Union. It applies to information collected by us, or provided by you, during your appointment, via email, our website, or in any other way including over the phone.

We are committed to protecting the privacy of our patients. This privacy policy is intended to inform you on how we gather, define and use your data. All your personal data will be held and used in accordance with GDPR and national laws implementing GDPR and any legislation that replaces it in whole or in part relating to the protection of personal data.

Highest Standards

We are proud to announce that we are HIS Compliant. Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in Scotland, regulating care provided by the NHS, care homes and private clinics. The HIS assures safety and quality and assesses the performance of these establishments. We are proud to announce that we have met these high standards and we will endeavour to consistently uphold and improve the quality of our services for our patients.

Independent healthcare organisations must be registered because of the types of services they provide, and this shows they are meeting the government’s national minimum standards through the registration process and annual self-assessment.

Essence Medical Cosmetic Clinic has undergone this rigorous registration process, whereby stringent criteria are met to obtain registration. We are extremely pleased to inform you that we are fully registered with the HIS ensuring that the highest possible standards are being met, whilst you receive treatment with us.

Policies and Procedures

Our aim is not to meet current standards, but to exceed them where possible. It is one thing to have a facility that meets all requirements and have a team of fully trained staff, but another to have in place numerous policies and procedures, which ensure that we deliver a safe and effective service to our patients.

Essence Medical Cosmetic Clinic has a programme of continual audit and review in place, which includes our clinic as a whole, our equipment and our staff. Every member of the team is inducted in these policies and procedures as part of their induction process.

Why is this Important?

The answer is simple. To ensure that independent clinics deliver a safe and effective service within a suitable environment. Whilst there are other registered and insured providers offering similar treatments, there are also many unregistered and uninsured providers. We suggest you always ask a treatment provider to show you a copy of their HIS and insurance certificates – it is mandatory to have them on display in a public area within a clinic or similar facility. Essence Medical Cosmetic Clinic has their certificates on display in the waiting room and reception areas. For more information about the Heathcare Improvement Scotland (HIS), please visit their website.

Compliments, Complaints or Concerns

Our aim is to provide the highest level of care and treatments for all our patients. We will always be willing to hear if there is any way that you think that we can improve the services we provide. Our clinic's internal Patient Satisfaction Questionnaires are available in our clinic's waiting room and can also be obtained from the reception. Each one is read and recorded, with action taken as required.

Patient Satisfaction Survey 2018

We are delighted to publish the final report of an independent survey into our patient satisfaction. This was conducted in June and July of 2018 and was completed by 45 patients.

This year, for the first time, results include a ‘benchmark’ which compares Dr Kieren Bong and Essence Medical Cosmetic Clinic to over 300 clinics in the United Kingdom, providing an insight into how our service and patient satisfaction compares to other establishments.
