About Alison Mary - Aesthetics in Norwich

I run a results-driven clinic in Taverham (NR8), Norwich -  and I’m very choosy about what I offer.

I don’t do trends and I don’t do nonsense. A lot of aesthetics is people selling what’s easy, quick, and profitable. I’m the opposite: I offer fewer treatments, but I do them properly - and if something won’t genuinely shift your face or your skin, I’ll tell you straight.

My clients often say I’m “too honest”… but that’s the point. I’d rather you be slightly annoyed in a consultation than disappointed after spending money on the wrong treatment.

​

I also can’t stand the amount of BS in this industry - and I will call it out when I see it. People get sold things they didn’t need because they trusted their practitioner, and I hate that. My clinic is built on natural-looking results, done properly, with a science-led approach and clear expectations.

​

I work by three rules:

1. If it doesn’t work (or the science isn’t there), I won’t do it.

2. If I wouldn’t spend my own time and money doing it on myself, I won’t do it on you. I test and use treatments on myself so I can recommend them with confidence, and prove they work.

3. If I wouldn’t do it on my own mother, I won’t do it to a client. That one speaks for itself.

​

Botox is my thing.

Botox is one of the most misunderstood treatments in aesthetics. It’s popular, so people assume it’s easy... but it isn’t. Done well, it’s anatomy, dosing strategy, balance, timing, and understanding how the face moves as a system. Done badly, it’s the reason so many people say “Botox didn’t work for me” or “I hated my result.”

​

I study it relentlessly because it’s one of those treatments where small decisions make a big difference, and where “standard dosing” often produces standard disappointment.

My approach is always about planning the whole result properly, not just ticking off three areas.

And I’ll be honest; even with years of doing this and studying it, Botox can still surprise you. Faces don’t read textbooks, muscle patterns vary, and tiny differences in anatomy can change how a result settles. That’s exactly why I’m obsessive about assessment, conservative logic, and review timing, because good Botox isn’t a template. It’s judgement.

​

CO₂ laser is my other core specialism.

Fractional CO₂ is not a “salon laser facial.” It’s procedure-grade skin remodelling that relies on real wound healing, collagen change, and disciplined aftercare. I take it seriously, I push it to the highest safe potential for a non-surgical setting, and I’m very clear about what it can do... and what it can’t.

​----------

​

My style is straightforward and science-led. I’ll always give you a clear recommendation based on your anatomy, your skin and your goals - and I’ll explain the reasoning, not just the “what”.

My role is to guide you to the option that’s most likely to give you a result you’ll love, with the best longevity and the lowest risk.

​

So, if you want a practitioner who’ll tell you what you want to hear, I’m not for you. If you want the truth and the best plan, I am.
