Bernadette Tobin.

Independent Nurse Practitioner · RGN · MSc (Level 7)

Aesthetics in the UK is still largely unregulated, anyone can legally inject. So every treatment here is done by me, an independent nurse practitioner. I have been a registered general nurse for over twenty years, through acute medical wards, community nursing and advanced clinical practice, and I hold an MSc in Advanced Practice (Level 7), the master's level the NHS sets for advanced clinical practice.

The clinic was named Best Non-Surgical Aesthetics Clinic 2026, Essex by the Health, Beauty & Wellness Awards. I also founded Aesthetics Unlocked, the education platform for UK aesthetic practitioners.

Colchester FAQs

Common questions.

Who will do my treatment?+

Me, every time. I am Bernadette Tobin, an independent nurse practitioner and a registered general nurse for over twenty years (NMC PIN 05G1755E, which you can check on the public NMC register). My career has taken me through acute medical wards, community nursing and advanced clinical practice, and I hold an MSc in Advanced Practice (Level 7), the master's level the NHS sets for advanced clinical practice. Nobody else injects at the clinic.

What award has the clinic won?+

Best Non-Surgical Aesthetics Clinic 2026, Essex, from the Health, Beauty & Wellness Awards. The winner listing is public on the awards' own site, and the full details are on our award page. I also founded Aesthetics Unlocked, the education platform for UK aesthetic practitioners, and was nominated for Educator of the Year 2026 at the Beauty & Aesthetics Awards.

Will anyone see me arriving?+

No. I deliberately designed the clinic this way. We sit back from Friars Lane, behind electric gates, with private parking entirely out of view from the road — your car can't be seen from the street. There is no signage on the building, no shopfront, no waiting room window. You walk straight through a discreet entrance, the door closes behind you, and you are the only client in the clinic. Many of my clients tell me Visage is the most private clinic they have ever used. That is by design, not by accident.

How long is the drive from Colchester?+

About thirty minutes via the A12 and A120. Free on-site parking. Many Colchester clients arrive after over-treatment at busier salons and prefer the quiet of a single-client private clinic.

How much does lip filler cost?+

Lip filler at Visage is £110 for 0.5ml and £200 for 1ml. The consultation is free. Transparent pricing across the site, see /pricing for the full table.

Will I look obviously done?+

Not if dosed correctly. We start at 0.5ml, review at two weeks, and only add if needed. The aim is "your lips on a good day", not someone else's lips on yours.

Is lip filler reversible?+

Yes. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you change your mind or experience a complication. We use only HA filler for exactly this reason.

How long does it last?+

Typically 9 to 12 months. Lips dissolve faster than cheeks because they move constantly. The product gradually metabolises rather than disappearing in one go.
