Questions and answers
Booking, changing and cancelling
-
How do I book an appointment?
Through the reservation page. It asks what the visit is for, which part of the day suits you, your name and mobile number. The desk then calls or messages to confirm a day and time.
-
What happens after I send the form?
Your request is saved with us straight away. We then call or message the number on the form to agree a day and time.
-
Can I book for someone else?
Yes, as long as they’ve agreed. Put their name on the form and the mobile number we should call, so the right person hears from us.
-
Can I have a clinic appointment and a salon appointment on the same day?
Usually, yes. The clinic, the salon and the wellness rooms share one floor, so mention everything when you book and we’ll plan the order.
-
How do I change or cancel an appointment?
Call or message as early as possible, using the contact details in the confirmation. If you’d like another time, we’ll find one. The confirmation also says how much notice we need.
Finding us and your first visit
-
What are your timings?
Every day from 10:30 am to 8 pm. That includes Saturdays and Sundays.
-
Does the treatment finder diagnose anything?
No. It suggests where to start, based on what you’d like help with. Suitability is assessed in person, and results vary from person to person.
-
Are my answers saved or shared?
Your answers stay on this page. They are not stored, sent to us or added to a web address. If you go on to reserve, the booking form receives only the chosen service.
-
How long does a first consultation take?
It depends on what you’d like to talk about. The length is confirmed on the call that sets the time, so the rest of the day can be planned around it.
-
Is there a fee for the consultation?
No. The consultation has no fee. The price of any treatment is explained before anything begins.
-
Is Leevora Aesthetics a clinic or a salon?
Both, on one floor: a clinic for skin, laser and hair treatments, and a salon with beauty rooms.
-
I don’t know which treatment I need. Where do I start?
With a consultation, which has no fee. We look first, then explain what would help and what it involves.
-
Is it rude to ask about a practitioner’s qualifications?
No. It’s a sensible question, and any clinic should answer it plainly. Ask who will carry out the treatment and what qualification they hold.
-
What questions should I ask before laser hair reduction?
Ask who carries out the sessions, and whether laser suits the skin and hair, and why. Then ask how many sessions are likely, what the price covers and what happens if one has to move. The laser hair reduction page explains how our consultation works.
Prices and payment
-
Are prices on the website?
No. The consultation has no fee, and the price of any treatment or service is explained to you at the clinic before anything begins, with what it includes.
-
How is the price worked out for a course of sessions?
It depends on the treatment, the area and how many sessions are needed, which is discussed at your consultation. The full price is explained before the first session.
-
Do I pay anything to book?
No. Sending the form is free. If anything is ever payable in advance, we’ll tell you before a time is agreed.
Skin
-
Is a pimple the same as acne?
People use the words loosely. An odd pimple is something almost everyone gets; acne usually means breakouts that keep coming back. Either is fine to bring to a consultation.
-
Is a facial a good idea for acne-prone skin?
Sometimes. It depends on the skin, so we’d rather the doctor sees it first. If a facial makes sense, the doctor will say which kind, perhaps a medical facial.
-
Is a chemical peel safe for Indian skin?
It depends on the peel and on the skin, so it’s a question the doctor answers after seeing yours. Mention any reaction you’ve had to skin products before; it helps.
-
How many chemical peel sessions will I need?
That depends on the peel and on what you’re hoping for. The doctor gives an estimate at the consultation.
-
How often should you get a hydra facial?
It depends on the skin and on what you want from it. We suggest how often once we’ve seen how the skin takes to the first one, and the choice is yours.
-
Is a hydra facial good for oily or dry skin?
We check first that a hydra facial suits the skin, whether it’s oily, dry or in between. If something simpler would do better, we’ll say so. The skin-type guide is a useful place to start.
-
What is a medi facial?
Medi facial is the everyday name for a medical facial, one whose steps a doctor chooses after looking at the skin. The name covers many different facials, so it’s worth asking what the steps will be.
-
Is a medi facial different from the facials in the salon?
Yes. A salon facial is about care and time to rest. A medical facial starts with the doctor’s view of the skin, and the steps follow from that. They do different jobs, and neither replaces the other.
-
Is pigmentation the same as melasma?
Melasma is one kind of pigmentation, and there are several others. Telling them apart is part of the consultation, because the options differ.
-
Does pigmentation come back after treatment?
It can. How to look after the skin afterwards is part of what the doctor explains.
-
How much does a skin consultation cost?
Nothing. The consultation has no fee. If the doctor suggests a treatment, its price comes before anything begins.
-
Will I see a dermatologist?
You’ll see a qualified doctor: every consultation and every clinical treatment at Leevora is carried out by one. Ask about their qualification and registration when you reserve, and we’ll tell you.
-
How many sessions does a wart need?
It depends on the growth. The number of sessions is discussed at your consultation, once the doctor has looked closely. We don’t quote a number online.
-
Is cryotherapy for warts painful?
Comfort is talked through at the consultation, before anything is done. Ask the doctor anything you’d like to know first.
-
Do I need a consultation before a skin treatment?
For medical treatments, such as a peel or a medical facial, yes: the doctor looks at your skin and talks through the options first. A hydra facial starts with a check that it suits your skin. For a facial that’s mainly about rest, the salon facials are the place to start.
-
Who carries out skin treatments at Leevora?
Every clinical treatment is carried out by a qualified doctor. Facials in the salon are given by a therapist.
-
How can I tell my skin type at home?
Wash your face with a mild cleanser, pat it dry and leave it bare for about two hours. Tight or flaky suggests dry; shiny all over suggests oily; shiny only on the forehead, nose and chin suggests combination; comfortable suggests normal. Skin that stings or reacts to most products may be sensitive.
-
Can your skin type change?
Yes. Weather, age and the products you use can all change how skin behaves, so it’s worth checking again when the season turns. It’s common in Delhi to notice oilier skin in the humid months and drier skin in winter.
-
Do I need a consultation before a salon facial?
No. The therapist asks a few questions at the start, about how the skin feels day to day and what goes on it. Consultations are for clinic facials.
-
Can a salon therapist tell me if I need a clinic facial?
A therapist won’t diagnose anything. If something about the skin seems worth a doctor’s look, the therapist may suggest a consultation, and the choice stays with you.

Laser hair reduction
-
Will I still need to shave or trim the beard line?
Plan on some trimming. Laser hair reduction aims to leave less regrowth on the cheeks and neck, and results vary from person to person. The consultation covers what upkeep may look like for you.
-
What if I want a different beard style later?
It is worth deciding before the first session, so raise it when we mark the line. The consultation covers how a change of style later might work for you.
-
Why do you say reduction and not removal?
Because reduction is the accurate word. A course of sessions aims to reduce how much hair grows back, and the result is different for everyone. We won’t promise that hair will never return.
-
How many laser sessions will I need?
The area, the hair and the skin all play a part, so we don’t quote a number online. At the consultation we look at all three, then explain the likely number and what the course would cost.
Hair and scalp
-
What is GFC hair treatment?
GFC stands for growth factor concentrate. It is prepared from a sample of your own blood using a kit, and injected into the scalp over a course of sessions. It is carried out by a qualified doctor.
-
GFC or PRP, which is better?
Neither is ranked here. Both are prepared from your own blood, in different ways, and the doctor explains which, if either, suits you. PRP for hair describes the other.
-
Can you stop my hair fall?
Nobody can promise that, and we won’t. We can tell you what we see, and whether anything is worth trying.
-
Is the hair-fall consultation for men too?
Yes. The consultation runs the same way for everyone.
-
Is PRP done by a doctor?
Yes. PRP is carried out by a qualified doctor, after a consultation that looks at the scalp and asks about the hair fall.
-
How many PRP sessions will I need, and how far apart?
PRP is a course of sessions. The number and the spacing are discussed at your consultation, once the doctor has seen the scalp. We don’t quote a number online.
-
Can I book a scalp consultation for dandruff?
Yes. Flaking and an itchy scalp are exactly what the consultation is for, whatever you have already tried.
-
Is scalp care for men as well?
Yes. The consultation is the same for women and men, whatever the length of your hair.
Fat freezing and weight management
-
Is fat freezing a way to lose weight?
No. Fat freezing treats one small area at a time. It is not a way to lose weight. The weight-management programme is a different thing, and starts with a doctor’s assessment.
-
Is cryolipolysis the same as fat freezing?
Yes. Cryolipolysis is the clinical name for fat freezing. We don’t name devices or brands on this site.
-
Is this a diet plan or a medical programme?
It is a programme led by a qualified doctor. It starts with an assessment, and the plan that follows covers food, movement, sleep and routine, with follow-up visits.
-
Do I need to be a certain weight to join?
No threshold is set online. The assessment decides whether the programme suits you, and the doctor explains why, either way.
-
What is the difference between the two?
Fat freezing treats one small area at a time. It is not a way to lose weight. The weight-management programme is a plan for food, movement and follow-up visits, led by a qualified doctor.
-
Do body treatments promise a particular result?
No. We don’t promise any change in weight, measurements or shape. Results vary by person, and we don’t show before-and-after photos.
Salon and beauty
-
Can I book the salon for a group?
The salon has three chairs. Tell us the date and how many people are coming when you book, and we’ll say what we can arrange.
-
What is a hair spa?
A hair spa is a salon service: a wash, a conditioning treatment left on while the stylist massages your scalp, then a rinse and a finish.
-
How often should I get a hair spa?
After the first visit, the stylist can suggest a gap, once they have seen how your hair takes the treatment.
-
How long does a haircut take?
Longer with a wash and blow-dry than a cut on its own. When you reserve, we’ll say how long to allow.
-
Do you cut men’s hair?
Yes, at the same three chairs. Tell the stylist how short you like the back and sides, and how many weeks usually pass between cuts.
-
What is included in a pedicure?
A foot soak, nails trimmed and shaped, cuticles tidied, hard skin on the heels smoothed, a short massage, then polish or a buff.
-
Do men get manicures and pedicures here?
Yes. The steps are the same, and you can finish with a plain buff and no polish at all.
-
What is the difference between a salon facial and a medical facial?
A salon facial is given by a therapist and needs no consultation first. A medical facial is a clinical treatment: it starts with a consultation and is carried out by a qualified doctor. Our guide to salon and clinic facials goes into more detail.
-
Which facial suits my skin type?
Every salon facial follows the same steps, and the therapist chooses the products after a few questions about your skin. To work out your skin type beforehand, try the skin-type guide.
-
Is the salon for men as well as women?
Yes. The salon is unisex, and everyone uses the same chairs and beauty rooms. The page for men puts haircuts, facials and beard laser hair reduction in one place.
-
Who looks after me in the salon?
A stylist cuts and washes hair, a nail technician does manicures and pedicures, and a therapist gives facials. A doctor is involved only in clinic treatments, such as medical facials or laser hair reduction.
Massage and the steam room
-
Should I have the massage or the steam room first?
Either order works. Some people sit in the steam first and lie down warm; others finish with it. Tell us when you reserve, and we’ll set the order.
-
What if something hurts or I’m carrying an injury?
See a doctor or physiotherapist before booking if something hurts sharply, has swollen or hasn’t settled. For ordinary stiffness after training, tell the therapist at the start and the massage can work around it.
-
What is a potli massage?
Potli is the Hindi word for a small cloth bundle. The therapist warms the bundles and works with them along the back, shoulders and legs. It feels like steady, moving warmth.
-
Can I come for a massage straight after the gym?
Yes. Mention the session to the therapist at the start.
-
How long should I stay in the steam room?
If you’re new to steam, start with a short sit, and step out as soon as it stops feeling comfortable. We’ll tell you how long each booking lasts when you reserve.
-
Can I use the steam room straight after the gym?
Yes. Cool down for a few minutes and have some water first.
-
Is Leevora an Ayurvedic treatment centre?
No. The Ayurveda room is for massage only. It doesn’t offer Ayurvedic medicines or treatment for any condition.
-
Can I book a massage or the steam room in the evening?
Yes. We’re open every day from 10:30 am to 8 pm. Ask for an evening time when you reserve.
-
What should I wear in a steam room?
Swimwear, or a towel wrapped round you, is usual. Ask what to bring and what we provide when you reserve, and keep jewellery and the phone out of the steam.
-
Can I go back into the steam room after a break?
Yes. Sit somewhere cooler and drink some water first, then go back in if it still feels comfortable. Stop when you’ve had enough.
-
Is it better to get a massage before or after a workout?
After, or on a rest day. A long massage in a warm room tends to leave people slow and heavy-limbed. That is pleasant on the way home and no help before a hard session.
-
How soon after training can I have a potli massage?
Once you’ve cooled down. Take a few minutes for the sweating to stop, drink some water, then tell the therapist what you trained.
Bridal
-
When should I start pre-bridal care?
As early as you can if laser hair reduction is part of the plan, because it is done as a course of sessions. Salon and wellness appointments can come closer to the date. Bring the date to the first visit and we’ll work back from it.
-
What can a pre-bridal plan include?
Facials, the hair spa, manicures and pedicures, potli massage and the steam room. Laser hair reduction or a medical facial join the plan where a consultation shows they suit you. Nothing goes in without your agreement.
-
Why does laser hair reduction need to start so early before a wedding?
It’s done as a course of sessions, spaced out over time. The number and the gaps between them are set at the consultation, so an early start leaves room for the whole course before the date.
-
When should I get a manicure before the mehendi?
A day or two before. Once the henna is on, hands and feet shouldn’t be soaked or scrubbed for a while.
For men
-
Can men get laser hair reduction on the beard line?
Yes. Beard laser hair reduction covers the cheek line, the neck and under the jaw. It is carried out by a qualified doctor, and the number of sessions is discussed at the consultation.
-
Do you do facials for men?
Yes. Salon facials in the beauty rooms are for men and women alike. A medical facial begins with a skin consultation.
Your details and privacy
-
What do you do with the details I put in the form?
We use them to arrange the visit you asked about. The privacy notice explains who handles them and for how long.
-
Why doesn’t the form ask for health details?
Because they’re private, and the fewer places they’re kept, the safer they are. They’re discussed at the consultation, in person, so please keep them out of WhatsApp and email too.
-
Will you send me messages I didn’t ask for?
No. Beyond messages about an appointment you’ve asked for, news goes only to people who ticked the box for it. Every one of those messages says how to stop them.
-
How do I ask you to delete my details?
Tell us when we call or message you about your visit, or reply to that message. One message is enough, and we’ll delete what we hold unless the law requires us to keep it. The privacy notice explains your other rights.
-
Does this website use cookies?
No. The site sets no cookies and loads no analytics or advertising tags. If that ever changes, the privacy notice changes first, and nothing of that kind loads until you accept it.
