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.

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 on Friars Lane. Many Colchester clients combine the trip with lunch or shopping in central Braintree.
Is Profhilo a filler?+
No. Filler adds volume; Profhilo spreads through the skin and stimulates the body to produce its own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The result is texture and glow, never volume change.
How much does Profhilo cost?+
Single session £180. Course of two sessions (four weeks apart) £380. Includes the genuine IBSA Profhilo product.
When will I see results?+
Most clients notice a soft glow at 2-3 weeks after the first session. The biggest visible change is around 8 weeks after the second session. Profhilo improves gradually rather than dramatically.
How long does Profhilo last?+
A course of two sessions typically gives 6 to 9 months of visible benefit before maintenance is recommended.
