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 far is Visage from Halstead for Profhilo?+
Roughly 15 minutes by car via the A131 southbound. The same drive most Halstead residents already make to get to Braintree town centre.
How is Profhilo different from filler?+
Filler adds volume in a specific area. Profhilo spreads through the skin and stimulates your own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, improving hydration and glow rather than volume. Many clients have both, planned together. /blog/profhilo-vs-dermal-filler walks through this in plain English.
How much does Profhilo cost?+
Single session £240. Recommended course of two sessions £450. Pricing transparent at /pricing.
When will I see results?+
Soft glow at 2-3 weeks; biggest change around 8 weeks after the second session. Profhilo builds gradually.
How long does Profhilo last?+
6 to 9 months from a course of two sessions. Most clients return every six months for a maintenance session.
Is there any downtime?+
Minimal. Small bumps at the five injection points on each side settle within 12-24 hours. Most Halstead clients return to work the same day.
Clients travel to Friars Lane from across the county.
