Cannot recommend enough!!! Always struggled with body image, from tiny little skin tags that progressively got bigger on my neck and eyelids, and I am so glad I trusted Helena to get rid of them for me, the confidence I feel now is unmatched! Family members will be getting theirs done now too! Pain is minimal, and controlled on your own terms which helped massively having the confidence to just ask for a quick break from treatment in the tender areas. Left with no scarring and photos to prove below. Fantastic customer service, and I’m about to book a 3rd appointment for my final skin tag removal! Gone forever, no scarring, more than fair prices. 10/10 ❤️ see photos, before, after treatment and once healed (1 week later) x

Absolutely love my results! My brows have a lovely subtle lift, my eyes look more open, and my forehead looks smooth while still feeling completely natural. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Helena - you are truly the Best!!!

As I’ve got older, I’ve noticed my lips gradually losing volume and definition, feeling thinner and paler than they used to. I never felt comfortable with the idea of Botox, fillers or any invasive cosmetic procedures – I wanted something gentler but still effective. That’s why permanent lip tattooing felt like the perfect choice: it would add natural-looking colour, restore shape and give me a fresher, more youthful look without the risks or downtime of surgery.After researching my options, I found Helen and immediately felt reassured by her years of expertise and glowing reputation. From our very first chat, she was incredibly professional, taking time to explain every step, talk through colours that would suit my skin tone, and answer all my questions patiently. Her communication was clear and friendly throughout, and I felt completely confident putting my trust in her.The results have exceeded my expectations – my lips look fuller, more vibrant, and perfectly natural. Helen’s skill and attention to detail are outstanding, and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone considering this treatment!

I had an anti-wrinkle treatment at Helena Cosmetics and the results were amazing! My skin looks smoother, and more lifted. Elena was professional and made me feel totally at ease. I didn’t expect such a noticeable difference! I highly recommend.

I’ve had 3 sessions of PRP for hair regrowth and facial PRP (vampire facial) and can’t recommend her enough. Extremely knowledgable and friendly and very competitive prices for such high quality service.

I had a chain of skin tags around my neck that made me feel self-conscious. Helena removed them so carefully, and now I wear necklaces and open tops with confidence. She’s a miracle worker!

I always thought eyeliner wouldn’t work on my hooded eyes, but Helena proved me wrong. She created a subtle, lifted wing that opens my eyes up beautifully. I haven’t worn eyeliner since because I don’t need to!

I had a plasma facial today and it was absolutely amazing! The treatment was so professional, and I already feel like my skin is glowing. Helena explained everything clearly and made me feel totally at ease. I’m so excited to see the results as my skin heals, I already feel more confident. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about giving their skin a boost!

I had PRP plasma with Helena for years and always love my results. It takes time to see it and if you do regularly you will see the brightness , glowing and hydration in your skin. She takes your blood really gently and professionally. Also she suggests and explains about the treatment and how many should I do it. 3-5-8 treatments and you love to see your face in the mirror 🥰. Helena thank you for my glowing skin ! 🥰

I highly recommend Helena for aesthetic improvements. After a medical condition a few years ago left half of my face slightly droopy, I wanted to address the lingering effects. I was nervous about the process, but Helena immediately put me at ease. I trust her completely. Her skill and attention to detail have made a significant positive impact on my appearance, and I'm so grateful for her expertise.

“Helena is not just a real professional, she has a special approach to every client. I can’t take any physical pain, but her individual approach makes all the difference. My husband loves my lips 👄. I wouldn’t trust lip fillers to anyone else. Thank you for being special.”

“I had my eyeliner done by Helena and I couldn’t be happier with the results! I always struggled with my makeup, rubbing my eyes constantly and watching it disappear in minutes, but this has truly been life-changing. The eyeliner gives me a beautifully defined look while still feeling so natural. Helena made me feel incredibly safe and relaxed throughout, and her years of experience shine through. Absolutely worth it.”

“Tried Helena Aesthetics and I was amazed how attentive Helena was to the smallest details. The job she did was outstanding. Now I’m not going anywhere else, Helena is my first point of contact for any procedure or advice. She has a strong medical background and is always ready to help. I strongly recommend Helena Aesthetics.”
