UK Aesthetics Pricing Benchmark 2026
What clinics across the UK charge for the treatments they perform most, and how much that changes depending on where you practise.
Headline findings
35%
London to North gap
A three area toxin treatment costs 35% more in Central London than in the North East and Yorkshire. The gap is wider on multi area treatment than on single area.
2.5x
Spread within a single treatment
The gap between the cheapest and most expensive clinic for the same treatment in the same region. Location explains less of the variation than practitioner qualification does.
£300
Widest range in the dataset
Polynucleotides run from £200 to £500 for the same treatment. A spread that wide is what a category looks like before the market settles on a price for it.
3x
The cost of a device
RF microneedling sits at three times the price of standard microneedling. Across the skin category, the equipment in the room explains more of the price than anything else does.
Prices by treatment
Median is the middle of the market, which is a better guide than an average because a small number of premium London clinics pull an average upwards. The range covers the bulk of clinics, excluding the cheapest and most expensive few.
Botulinum toxin
Priced by treatment area rather than by unit at most UK clinics. Multi area pricing carries a built in discount almost everywhere.
| Treatment | Median | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-wrinkle, one areaper treatment | £170 | £100 to £250 |
| Anti-wrinkle, two areasper treatment | £220 | £160 to £315 |
| Anti-wrinkle, three areasper treatment | £270 | £190 to £395 |
| Masseter (jaw slimming)per treatment | £300 | £200 to £450 |
| Hyperhidrosis (underarm)per treatment | £420 | £300 to £650 |
| Nefertiti neck liftper treatment | £350 | £250 to £500 |
Dermal fillers
Quoted per millilitre in most clinics, though lip treatment is increasingly priced per treatment rather than per ml.
| Treatment | Median | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Lip fillerper 1ml | £220 | £150 to £400 |
| Cheek and midfaceper 1ml | £300 | £200 to £500 |
| Jawlineper 1ml | £320 | £220 to £520 |
| Chinper 1ml | £300 | £200 to £480 |
| Nasolabial foldsper 1ml | £280 | £190 to £450 |
| Tear troughper treatment | £350 | £250 to £550 |
| Non surgical rhinoplastyper treatment | £400 | £280 to £650 |
| Dissolving (hyaluronidase)per session | £150 | £80 to £280 |
Skin boosters and regenerative
The least settled category in the dataset. Polynucleotides in particular span a wide range, which is what happens while clinics are still working out what a treatment is worth.
| Treatment | Median | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Profhiloper session | £320 | £250 to £450 |
| Profhilo, two session courseper course | £600 | £500 to £800 |
| Polynucleotidesper session | £320 | £200 to £500 |
| Polynucleotides, three session courseper course | £850 | £600 to £1,300 |
| Skin booster (general)per session | £220 | £150 to £400 |
| PRP (vampire facial)per session | £350 | £250 to £550 |
| Exosomesper session | £400 | £280 to £650 |
Skin treatments
The widest spread in the dataset, driven by device cost. Energy based treatment sits several times above manual treatment.
| Treatment | Median | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Microneedlingper session | £160 | £100 to £250 |
| RF microneedlingper session | £480 | £350 to £800 |
| Superficial peelper session | £95 | £60 to £150 |
| Medium depth peelper session | £180 | £100 to £300 |
| Deep peelper session | £380 | £250 to £600 |
| Medical facialper session | £130 | £90 to £200 |
| LED light therapyper session | £45 | £25 to £80 |
| Fat dissolving injectionper area | £180 | £120 to £300 |
Clinic charges
How clinics charge around the treatment itself. Consultation fees and deposits vary more than any treatment price, and plenty of clinics still charge neither.
| Treatment | Median | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Initial consultationwhere charged | £30 | £0 to £75 |
| Booking depositper appointment | £40 | £20 to £100 |
| Review appointmentwhere charged | £25 | £0 to £50 |
| Late cancellation feewhere charged | £50 | £25 to £100 |
Prices by region
The index compares each region against the UK median, which is set at 100. A region at 88 sits 12% below the national middle. The two worked examples show what that means in practice.
| Region | Price index | Toxin, three areas | Lip filler, 1ml |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central London | 115 | £310 | £275 |
| Greater London | 106 | £295 | £245 |
| South East | 105 | £285 | £240 |
| South West | 98 | £265 | £215 |
| East of England | 99 | £270 | £220 |
| Midlands | 94 | £250 | £200 |
| North West | 91 | £240 | £190 |
| North East and Yorkshire | 88 | £230 | £185 |
| Scotland | 92 | £245 | £195 |
| Wales | 90 | £235 | £190 |
| Northern Ireland | 88 | £230 | £180 |
How to use this if you are setting prices
Being cheapest is not a strategy
The bottom of every range in this report is occupied by clinics competing on price alone. It is the hardest position to hold, because there is always someone willing to go lower, and it attracts the clients least likely to return.
Your region matters less than you think
The gap between the cheapest and most expensive clinic in the same town is wider than the gap between regions. Qualification, reputation and the experience around the treatment explain more of the variation than the postcode does.
Price the appointment, not the product
Clinics at the top of each range are rarely using a different product. They are charging for the consultation, the review appointment, the record keeping and the confidence that someone will answer the phone if something goes wrong.
Methodology
This benchmark is built from advertised prices published by UK aesthetic clinics, combined with published pricing surveys covering several hundred clinics, collected in August 2026. Prices are the advertised price for a standard treatment, including consultation where a clinic includes it in the price.
Median is used throughout rather than mean, because a small number of premium London clinics pull an average upwards and make it a poor guide to what most clinics charge. Ranges exclude the cheapest and most expensive 5%, which removes both introductory offers and outlier premium pricing. Regional figures are only reported where there were enough clinics in a region to be meaningful.
Advertised pricing is not always what a client finally pays. Package deals, loyalty pricing and multi area discounts all sit underneath the headline figure, so treat these numbers as the shape of the market rather than as a precise account of every transaction in it.
