Finding us & opening hours
Where is Radiant Skin House located?
We are at 19 Station Road, Finchley, London N3 — directly opposite the Station Road exit of Finchley Central Tube Station on the Northern Line. We are easy to find and well signposted on Station Road.
Is there parking?
Yes. Pay & display bays are available directly in front of the clinic on Station Road. Free on-street parking is available on Station Road outside of 2–3pm Monday to Friday. Weekends are generally unrestricted and free. There is also a residential street parallel to Station Road with unrestricted parking most of the day.
How do I get there by tube?
Take the Northern Line to Finchley Central. Use the Station Road exit and we are directly in front of you — a few steps from the station. Journey time from central London is typically 20–30 minutes.
What are your opening hours?
We are open Monday to Friday, 9am–6pm. For appointments outside these hours, please call us on 0208 090 1050 to discuss availability — we occasionally accommodate early or late bookings by arrangement.
Are you near the bus stop?
Yes. Several bus routes stop on Ballards Lane and Station Road within a 2–3 minute walk, including routes 13, 82, 125, 143, 326, and 460. Finchley Central is well-served by bus from Barnet, East Finchley, Muswell Hill, and Golders Green.
Booking & consultations
How do I book an appointment?
You can book through the contact form on our website, call us on 0208 090 1050, email info@radiantskinhouse.uk, or use our mobile app for 24/7 booking. We aim to respond to all enquiries within one business day.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes — completely free, with no obligation to book a treatment. Your consultation includes a thorough skin and concern assessment, an honest recommendation of the most appropriate treatment for you, and a bespoke treatment plan. We never pressure clients to book on the day.
What happens at my first consultation?
Your practitioner will discuss your concerns in detail, examine the relevant area, and assess your suitability for the treatment you are interested in. We will explain the treatment, realistic results, the number of sessions likely needed, and pricing. If a treatment is not right for you, we will tell you clearly and suggest a better alternative. For laser hair removal, a patch test is included.
Do I need a consultation before every treatment?
New clients require a consultation before their first treatment. Returning clients who are booking a new treatment type are also assessed before beginning. This ensures we always have an up-to-date understanding of your skin, health, and goals.
Can I book multiple treatments in the same visit?
Yes — and it is often more convenient and better value to do so. Many treatments combine well and can be performed in sequence during the same appointment. We will advise on sensible combinations at your consultation.
How far in advance should I book?
For consultations, we usually have availability within a few days. For specific treatment appointments, especially with a preferred practitioner, we recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance. Call or email us and we will find the earliest slot that works for you.
Treatments & suitability
Are your treatments safe?
All treatments at Radiant Skin House are non-invasive, clinically proven, and performed by trained practitioners. We use medical-grade equipment including the Splendor X (Lumenis), CACI Synergy, HiFu, SkinPen, and Plasma Pen. Every new client receives a full assessment before any treatment begins. Your safety is our first priority — we will never recommend or perform a treatment we believe is not right for you.
Do you treat all skin types?
Yes. We treat clients of all skin tones and ethnicities. Our Splendor X laser hair removal system includes Nd:YAG 1064nm settings specifically designed for Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin types (darker skin). Every client receives a patch test and skin assessment before laser treatment regardless of skin tone.
Are treatments suitable during pregnancy?
Most advanced aesthetic treatments are not recommended during pregnancy. This includes laser hair removal, HIFU, Plasma treatments, and injectable treatments. We advise waiting until after you have finished breastfeeding before resuming. Some beauty treatments — HD Brows, lash services, and nails — are safe during pregnancy. Please tell us at booking if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and we will advise accordingly.
What if I have a medical condition?
Please inform us of any medical conditions, medications, or recent procedures when booking. Many conditions do not affect suitability for treatment, but some may require additional assessment or adjustment. We always carry out a full health questionnaire at consultation. Honesty helps us give you the safest, most effective treatment.
Pricing & payment
How much do treatments cost?
Prices start from £40 per session for small laser hair removal areas, £79 for CACI facials, £149 for plasma treatments, £299 for HIFU partial face, and £299 for permanent makeup. Full pricing is available on our Prices page. All prices are confirmed at your free consultation.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Flexible payment options are available to spread the cost of larger treatments over monthly instalments. Details — including the number of payments, any applicable interest, and deposit required — are confirmed at your consultation. Interest-free options are available for shorter-term plans.
Do courses of treatment save money?
Yes. Pre-paid courses of 6 laser hair removal sessions save 20% vs individual session pricing. Courses for CACI Synergy and Lipofirm are also available at reduced rates. Your practitioner will advise the most cost-effective approach at consultation.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes. Gift vouchers are available in any amount and are redeemable against any treatment or product at our Finchley clinic. Valid for 12 months from purchase. Call 0208 090 1050 or email us to purchase.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards, contactless payment, and bank transfer for larger treatments. Finance options are available by arrangement. Please ask at your consultation.
Before & after your treatment
What should I do before my appointment?
This depends on the treatment — your practitioner will give you specific pre-treatment instructions at your consultation. General advice: arrive with clean skin free of makeup and SPF for facial treatments; shave (do not wax) the area 24 hours before laser sessions; avoid sun exposure and tanning for 4 weeks before laser or plasma treatments.
Is there downtime after treatments?
Most treatments at Radiant Skin House have minimal or no downtime. HIFU produces some mild redness for a few hours. Plasma treatments involve a healing period of 5–7 days for hot plasma. Laser hair removal has no downtime. Your practitioner will explain what to expect specifically for your treatment at your consultation.
How soon will I see results?
This varies by treatment. Laser hair removal produces progressive reduction throughout the course — most clients see meaningful reduction from session 3–4. HIFU results develop over 2–3 months as collagen builds. Fat freeze results are visible at 8–12 weeks. Plasma results at 4–6 weeks after healing. Your practitioner will give you a realistic timeline at consultation.
What aftercare do I need?
Written aftercare instructions are provided after every session. For most treatments: apply SPF 30+ to treated areas exposed to sunlight; avoid sun exposure for 4 weeks; use gentle skincare for 48 hours after facial treatments. Specific aftercare for your treatment will be explained and provided in writing before you leave the clinic.
