Your Aesthetic Consultation
Every treatment begins with a friendly, doctor-led consultation. It’s your time to talk, ask questions and map a plan that fits your goals.
Every aesthetic treatment at the Blackheath Clinic begins with a consultation. It’s the most important step in your journey and ensures that the treatment you choose is safe, suitable and designed around you. We want you to feel informed, confident and comfortable before you commit to anything.
A consultation usually takes around 60 minutes and takes place in our clinic.
Understanding You
Your consultation begins with a relaxed discussion about your goals. We’ll want to know what you’d like to improve, what you like about your face and any concerns you may have.
We’ll also review your medical history and current skincare so that we understand the full picture. This is a chance for you to ask questions and for us to map out priorities together.
In-Depth Facial Assessment
Next, we’ll carry out a facial assessment, looking at how your skin and muscles behave at rest and in expression. This helps us identify the most effective treatment options while ensuring that your natural look is preserved.
You’ll also receive a complimentary skin analysis with our Zemits VeraFace system. This advanced scan measures twelve factors of skin health and provides valuable insights that guide our recommendations.
Your Personalised Plan
The final step is your personalised plan. This outlines the treatments that are most suitable for you, any sequencing of sessions, expected downtime, aftercare and a transparent cost breakdown. If you feel ready, treatment can often take place on the same day, subject to your suitability and the time available.
There’s absolutely no pressure, and many people prefer to take some time to reflect before booking their treatment. Whichever option you choose, you’ll get clear written guidance on the next steps.
We can also offer you your first treatment in this session, if you desire.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Blackheath Clinic, where a considered consultation is the first step to beautifully natural results.

Our Patient Review

I was understandably very worried and was able to book an appointment within just a couple of hours. From the moment we met him, Dr Mac Sweeney was kind, reassuring, professional and genuinely caring. He took the time to listen, explained everything clearly, and made us feel that my husband was in very safe hands.
What impressed me most was that his care did not stop when we left the consultation. He followed up on several occasions to check on my husband's progress, prescribed more medicine and even went out of his way to provide a letter for our insurance company, which was incredibly helpful.
In a world where good service can sometimes feel hard to find, Dr Mac Sweeney demonstrated a level of compassion and personal attention that was truly exceptional. The fee was also very reasonable, especially given the time, care and support we received.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Mac Sweeney to anyone needing medical assistance and will always be grateful for the kindness he showed to both of us. If I lived in London I would most certainly subscribe to his membership scheme so he could deal with all my family's medical needs.


The clinic has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, with a fresh, calming scent that immediately creates a welcoming environment. Everything was explained clearly and professionally, making the whole experience completely stress-free.
I particularly appreciated the expert advice and felt comfortable throughout. I would highly recommend The Blackheath Clinic to anyone looking for a professional, patient-focused service.


As I entered the tastefully curated space, I encountered one of the rarest of things: a polite, smiling and genuinely welcoming receptionist. In fact, she was so warm and courteous that I briefly wondered whether I had wandered into an upmarket spa by mistake.
Then I met Dr Sweeney. He was charming, courteous, friendly and thoroughly professional, with the kind of bedside manner that reminds you what general practice can be at its best: attentive, humane and quietly confident. He came across as someone who takes real pride in his work and genuinely cares for his patients.
The whole experience felt like stepping back into a time when patients were warmly received and doctors truly doctored. As I was leaving, Dr Sweeney mentioned that he was off on a home visit. A GP doing a home visit in 2026? I was so astonished I nearly needed examining all over again.
Join this practice quickly before word gets out and the list fills up. This is care delivered by people who genuinely care, and that feels all too rare these days

I had lip filler and RRS Long Lasting skin boosters, and she took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all my questions, and ensure I felt confident about the treatments. Her attention to detail and gentle approach really stood out, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
Dr Micha Plugaru truly combines expertise with a warm, personal touch. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering aesthetic treatments — you’re in the safest and most caring hands.
