Ai Beauty Clinic Manager Lydia Lee commented; “Ai Beauty brought the Asian/Japanese service model to the UK. Our approach involves high labour costs and we generally invest in the best Aesthetic technology. We re-invest more than 70% of our profit every year into upgrading our aesthetic devices and acquiring state-of-the-art aesthetic technologies. Whilst we invest in the best, we ensure that our prices are set accordingly to achieve fair market competition. Even though we set a high standard in service and client results – setting a fair price without compromising excellent standards we think has been the key. Also, there is a specific look that Asian clients pursue and this takes a level of expertise that is not easy to find, beauty is still a major priority for many of our clients even in a Pandemic.”

Lydia Lee continues: “Thanks to our CQC accreditation and the advanced medical equipment that we use, we attract the most prominent doctors and the best client services teams the market has to offer. One of the things about this market is that our clients are discerning and are constantly kept up to speed on Aesthetic Medicine so we are always innovating with new treatments and setting a high bar in Aesthetic beauty. 

Launched in 2015, Ai Beauty brought the Asian/Japanese service model to the UK. It has served over 20,000 clients, with 15% of them flying directly from Asia. The majority (75%) of new patients come via referral with the remaining 25% coming from other channels such as social media.
