The clinic star guide
Star ratings for skin clinics, awarded the way Michelin awards restaurants: on evidence, not advertising.
Awarded for the clinic, not the marketing: the practitioner, the bench, the history.
One Star
Very good. A serious address, worth booking.
Radiance Score 74 and aboveTwo Stars
Excellent. Worth being inconvenienced to get to.
Radiance Score 82 and aboveThree Stars
The absolute best. A total rarity, worth travelling internationally for.
Radiance Score 90 and aboveThe clinic finder watches 55 addresses across 12 cities; only 39 hold stars.

One star
Stars derive from the Radiance Score: reviews weighted by volume, breadth of the laser bench, and years in practice alongside academic standing. Cross the 74 band and the clinic enters the star guide.
Two stars
The 82 band separates a strong local address from one worth crossing a city for: deeper benches, longer records, and a public rating that holds up across hundreds of reviews.
Three stars
Reserved, deliberately. Ninety and above is rare, and we would rather award two than pad a list. Every tier is re-examined with each new edition, so stars can be lost.
The star guide is editorial, independent and unsponsored: no clinic can buy, request or appeal a star, and nobody advertises with us. Bands are drawn from the Radiance Score compiled from public sources in July 2026 (clinic websites, practitioner pages and public listings), and re-examined with each new edition. Clinics without a star are not judged unfit; they simply sit below the band this edition, and they remain visible in the clinic finder. Nothing here is medical advice, and no score can know your skin: always consult a qualified practitioner before you book.
Scan your city, then read the stars
The clinic finder holds the full register of 55 establishments, every practitioner, every platform on the bench, every public rating, and ranks them by your skin’s agenda. The star guide is what happens when the top of that register is awarded.
