At-home toxin injection service launches in London
A first-of-its-kind at-home toxin injection service has launched in London.
UNNDOO operates from an online platform that allows patients to book botulinum toxin treatments to be administered at their home. The service was founded by dental surgeon, qualified facial aesthetics practitioner and chief medical officer of UNNDOO Dr Pujaa Patel; and her partner Vishal Ladwa, chief executive of the company.
The platform works with doctors, dentists and nurse prescribers with a minimum of two years’ experience and evidence of having provided at least 50 toxin treatments. The website allows users to book treatments with these aesthetic professionals by filtering by postcode radius, appointment date and time and desired treatment.
Each practitioner’s background and PRSB number is also displayed on the site for prospective patients to check. With safety the primary concern of the service according to Patel and Ladwa, every practitioner arrives to their appointments equipped with a kit containing a single-use, sealed kit, EpiPen, antihistamine medication and a disposable sharps bin, which is collected by UNNDOO post-treatment and treated as clinical waste.
Patients receive three post-treatment calls from their practitioner – after one day, three days and one week – and are provided with an emergency hotline number should they encounter any problems. The same practitioner visits the patient again after two weeks should a top-up treatment be required.
Treatments available include toxin treatments on the frown lines, laughter lines, bunny lines and forehead, as well as an eyebrow lift and gummy smile reduction treatment and injections for jaw
slimming, teeth grinding and excessive sweating.
A face-to-face consultation takes place prior to every treatment, in which the practitioner carries out a mental health assessment and discusses the pre-completed medical history form, potential side effects and aftercare with the patient.
Dr Patel commented: “We are very excited to be able to offer our busy clients clinic-standard treatments in the privacy and comfort of their own homes. We’re 100% committed to providing these services in a safe and hygienic way – it is always at the top of our agenda, alongside providing the best, most professional procedures possible.
"We have received such positive feedback from our clients so far – they are thrilled not to have to travel to undergo regular treatments, enabling them to manage their time more efficiently.”
