Why Ethical Aesthetic Clinics Sometimes Say ‘No’ toTreatment

At Facelove Medispa, our commitment to ethical, patient-centred care means that sometimes the best decision is to say “no” to a treatment request. Here’s why this approach matters for your safety and results.

The Importance of Ethics in Medical Aesthetics

Medical aesthetics is about more than appearance—it’s about wellbeing, safety, and trust. A responsible clinic puts your health and long-term satisfaction above any single procedure.

Common Reasons for Declining Treatment

• Unrealistic expectations: If a desired outcome isn’t achievable, we provide honest advice and alternative options.
• Medical contraindications: Some treatments aren’t suitable due to health history or current conditions.
• Safety concerns: If a procedure poses unnecessary risk, we will not proceed.
• Psychological readiness: We consider emotional wellbeing and motivation before recommending any aesthetic intervention

The Consultation Process – Skin Discovery Session

Our consultations are open, honest, and collaborative. We discuss your goals, assess suitability, and only recommend what’s in your best interest—even if that means advising against treatment.

We also utilise treatments that have published data. For instance Rejuran injectables (salmon sperm) PDRN injectables, we can get it in for you should you wish, but the published evidence does not show great efficacy over time. We are open and honest
about these types of things with all our patients.

Our Promise to You

At Facelove Medispa, saying “no” is an act of care. We believe in empowering you with knowledge and prioritising your overall health.
