Testimonials

I had SmartLipo on my knees by Dr. Brookes. After a lot of research I decided that I would only go ahead with someone qualified and experienced who could show me their results with other patients. My consultation with Dr. Brookes was totally unhurried and I was given all the information I needed without any pressure. I feel that I was given a very realistic expectation of what could be achieved and of the treatment itself. The procedure was quite straightforward and all the staff involved friendly and approachable. I returned to work the next day with no problem. I was contacted by Dr. Brookes’ secretary Anne to check I was OK after a couple of days and Dr. Brookes also emailed me a week or so later to check all was well. I feel that the level of care I have had has been excellent.

I have received Accent therapy treatment on my stomach for the past six months from Dr. Brookes. I am delighted to say that I have received first class treatment. Dr. Brookes has gone out of her way to put me at my ease, talking me through my procedure and has been most considerate of any discomfort I have experienced. I have been treated in a professional and most friendly manner throughout and I have always felt confident in Dr. Brookes’ abilities. I would most definitely recommend Dr. Brookes and the Accent therapy to friends and family. I have seen a marked improvement in both the appearance and elasticity of the skin on my stomach, which had been very stretched by two pregnancies. I had previously thought that nothing could be done to help and have been very pleased with the results. Mrs K, Surrey

Over the last 8 months I have received a number of treatments from Dr. Bea Brookes all of which I have been delighted with. The first two were Botox and Sculptra. They had precisely the effects of which Dr. Brookes and I agreed were the target. Subsequently I have undergone courses of Injection Lipolysis on four areas including my chin and abdomen. Again the results were exactly those I had hoped for. At all times, Dr. Brookes has been thoroughly professional in both her advice and the treatment and has advised me against treatments she believed were inappropriate. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services. Mrs R, London

During my initial consultation I found Dr. B. Brookes to be very warm and friendly, she recommended a course of 6 glycolic facial peels at regular intervals. I was very impressed by the results, after each peel I could see a marked improvement in the skin texture and enlarged pores. Then, after a short break, I decided to have a stronger TCA peel, which had very good results, leaving my skin smoother and looking better than it has done in a long while. I will continue to have them at 6 monthly intervals as I am delighted with the results. Mrs B, Surrey

Prior to my treatment with Dr. Brookes I had considered Fraxel laser treatment at a well-known surgeon’s clinic in London. The aggressive and unpredictable nature of lasers worried me (and recent press about its negative effects have upholded my view). Therefore the TCA easy-peel system was a safer, gentler option. I thoroughly researched the procedure and decided that it would suit the times I could devote to ‘downtime’ (just a couple of days of superficial peeling each time). Choosing Dr. Brookes to administer the peel did not require a ‘second thought’. To me, it made sense to choose a qualified doctor (and particularly one who had also trained in, amongst other institutions, a burns unit). Furthermore, the whole ‘setting’ was more to my liking than those heavily marketed cosmetic surgery companies. I would not hesitate to undergo this treatment in the future. My skin feels softer and I rarely wear foundation now as the previously reddish and somewhat ruddy appearance of my chin has become barely noticeable. On a final note, the care pack I received 3 months’ ago still contains tubes of cream which are half-full. Thanks to Dr. Brookes. TH, London

Over the past three years I have had Restylane injections several times in my lips with different practitioners. The results obtained by Dr. Brookes have definitely been the best. The look I now have is a natural but definite improvement. You don't have to go to London to get great results! Miss A, Surrey

I have been attending Dr. Bea Brookes' clinic for the last few months to have Accent. I had read about this treatment in detail and I was very impressed with the results that had been documented. Initially I had reservations about my age (63) and whether it might compromise any possible results. My fears were unfounded as shortly after the second treatment I noticed a subtle improvement in the area that was causing me concern. Since then the improvement is continuing and I am very happy with the results. Before and after photos taken at every stage attest to this.

I cam across the Viridian Clinic on a reputable medical site via the Internet. I was impressed by their website and more importantly Dr. Bea Brookes' qualifications. I knew instantly I was in good hands when I entered the consulting room at Alma Road. The clinic is spotless and has a great atmosphere. Dr. Brookes is very friendly and a true professional and treats the needs of her patients with the utmost consideration.

Dr. Brookes is very enthusiastic about Accent and has worked hard with me in order to achieve maximum results. At our initial meeting she explained the treatment in detail and was very honest and realistic about any possible outcome so as not to mislead.

In conclusion I am extremely satisfsfied with the present results and after completing my course I will attend the clinic for maintenance treatments in the future.

I have now had several treatments with Dr. Brookes, mainly lip fillers. I have had Restylane Lipp in both my upper and lower lips and the results are fantastic. Dr. Brookes' skill at not overdoing it meant that I ended up with beautifully enhanced lips without it looking like anything had been done and not a "trout pout" in sight. I have now also had Evolence breeze in my top lip and I cannot wait to do the bottom! The look is subtle and as ever Dr. Brookes made the whole experience easy and pain free. I am astonished at the outcome, the swelling all but disappeared with the local anaesthetic, and there was no need for an ice pack and no pain killers either. Sign me up again please!!

I saw Dr Brookes for a general consultation. We discussed Smartlipo for my lower abdomen but Dr Brookes felt Accent RF may be a better option for me. I am quite slim anyway. I am delighted I took this option as I felt a good difference after just 2 treatments, loosing about 4-5 cm in circumference. My clothes feel much better and it proved a cost- effective alternative.

If you are considering having Botox without a doubt you must have the procedure done by Dr. Brookes. I am new to this, and scoured the internet for a local clinic to find out more information on having it done. There was one name I kept coming upon as the best in town and that was Dr. Brookes. So I booked a consultation and had the treatment done there and then. It was so easy - Dr. Brookes fully explained the procedure and determined what I wanted and expected out of the treatment.

Clearly a hugely experienced practitioner, Dr. Brookes is very personable and makes you feel completely at ease with no pressure whatsoever. The treatment was pain free and over very quickly - the results were amazing. Very natural as promised yet pretty dramatic too - the difference is very impressive, but as it is so natural looking and not a "frozen face" look, it exceeded my expectations.

I would recommend Dr. Brookes without a doubt, and can honestly say that I will not go anywhere else now. Why would I, when I have experienced the best service with someone I now trust.
Mr H, Surrey

I'm delighted with the results of my Accent RF treatment, as the saddlebags and cellulite on my thighs has reduced significantly. Also, I found Dr Brookes to be friendly, professional and willing to answer my numerous questions about the procedure. I would recommend both her as a practitioner and this treatment highly.

I went to Mount Alvernia to have SmartLipo on my abdomen.  The procedure was carried out by Dr. Brookes, whom I had previously been to see for a consultation.  I was greeted by very professional, friendly staff who were most helpful in guiding me to where I had to go.  Once at the patient lounge I was offered tea and coffee and was informed of the time scale they were running to.  Mount Alvernia is a quiet and clean hospital and it was very pleasant as the lounge opened out into a garden.  I felt relaxed and happy to be there.  When my turn came to go to theatre, Dr. Brookes came out and gowned me up and told me exactly what to expect e.g. how many people were in the theatre etc.  Once inside, I was greeted again by very friendly staff who immediately put me at east and I felt relaxed and confident.  The SmartLipo procedure was very straightforward.  I was awake throughout the whole procedure.  I felt a small scratch from the local and once the abdomen was numbed all I felt was pressure here and there.  Dr. Brookes was fantastic.  She kept me informed the whole time as to what she was doing and constantly checked that I was OK and comfortable.  After the procedure, Dr. Brookes gave me my corset to wear, antibiotics and an after care sheet to take home.  I walked out happy and pleased that I had had the Smartlipo done and excited about the future results!  I went home and cooked my kids tea, bathed and put them to bed!  I was a little tender in the night, slight bruising and swelling but it had gone in two days.  Suffice to say that I was very impressed with the before and after care that I received from the hospital and Dr. Brookes’ staff and the procedure was so straightforward that I would definitely have it done again!

I am 36 and have constantly battled with my weight.  From late teens through twenties and now thirties my weight has yo-yoed.  Then 3 years’ ago I had my daughter and now I have a new battle – my stomach.  Some how all my weight seemed to sit on my abdomen and no amount of gym and swim seemed to fix it.  I was offered an option – SmartLipo.  It has been a week today since I had the procedure and I have no regrets and am even planning to have more. The day of the procedure went so well.  Dr. Brookes and her team were so helpful and reassuring and explained everything as we went along.  I felt a little anxious when I had to wear a gown for the theatre but once in, everyone was jolly and I soon forgot I was in an operating theatre, it felt more like a dental surgery.  Once the procedure was finished, I was fit and well enough to get dressed and go home.  I sat in the car thinking is this right to be feeling as well as I do but I felt fine.  The next morning I was expecting to feel a little bruised but nothing.  I didn’t even take a Paracetamol.  There was no need.  Would I do it again?  Yes, because it was right for me.  Once again, I would like to thank Dr. Brookes for giving me the kick start I needed.

I would like to take the opportunity of thanking you and your team for your patience and for taking care of me so well and I am so pleased that I’ve had it done.  I have no pain at all, no bruising, didn’t need to take any painkillers and everything seems to be healing nicely. What an amazing procedure!

As an Holistic Therapist, having Botox wasn’t on my agenda until staring back at me were several lines on my forehead and around my eyes!  I was then introduced to Dr. Brookes who in her positive confident manner assured me I would still look natural.  How right she was, not even my closest friends have realised I now have Botox, they just keep thinking how well and good I look!

I recently attended the clinic of Dr. Brookes at Mount Alvernia Hospital to undergo non-invasive cosmetic treatment.  Throughout the whole process, including the initial consultation, I found Dr. Brookes to be extremely knowledgeable, friendly and above all professional with regard to treatments etc.  Before the treatment started she explained in detail exactly what she would be doing and the realistic expectation that would be achieved.  During treatment she was reassuring through the whole process and I can only say through my own experience that it was completely pain-free.  I will have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Brookes should the need arise.
