The Dr Xavier G. Medi-Spa clinic, in central Southampton, is a UK multi-award-winning doctor-owned private clinic - offering a wide range of medical
cosmetic, skin health, health and wellness and preventative treatments for the face, body, hair and inner health. All our treatments and services are
designed to restore, maintain and improve your health and well-being.
The clinic offers other health and weight loss treatments such as Alevere Therapy - a medical weight-loss treatment that helps you to lose weight in a
safe way as well as helping to reshape and contour your body without surgery - with all the health benefits that a healthier weight can bring.
We offer REVIV intravenous vitamin drips / infusions and we are delighted to be the first REVIV partner in Hampshire and
Southampton. The benefits of intravenous infusions are many and they can aid hydration and enhance alertness, help detoxify and cleanse the body,
reduce the symptoms of viral illnesses/colds and boosts the immune system, and even reported to help alleviate depression. Added benefits include;
helping to add shine to hair, skin and nails. In addition, we offer intramuscular booster shots to promote wellness, support weight loss and boost
energy levels to help you in daily life.
The clinic also offers laser hair removal for excessive face and body hair concerns, recognising the significant impact this can have on one's
confidence as a symptom of hormonal conditions. We also offer a number of treatments to help against hair loss and promote regrowth. This includes low
level laser therapy/intense photo-diode therapy, Mesotherapy and PRP (platelet rich plasma) - all for hair regrowth due to balding and Alopecia.
Hair thinning itself, can be a symptom of a number of conditions and it can have a negative impact on the quality of life and life confidence for many
sufferers and our medical doctor can assess you and provide recommendations.
Our clinic is registered with the CARE QUALITY COMMISSION (CQC) - this is the government's statutory regulator of healthcare services in England.
We have been offering weight loss treatments and services at our clinic for almost 20 years. We have a range of
treatments for obesity, weight loss and weight control, that can help you lose weight in a fast but medically safe way.
Our clinic is proud to be part of both the ALEVERE THERAPY network and the NATIONAL MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS
PROGRAMME. Alevere Therapy is a medically supervised (injection-free) weight loss treatment that is a serious
medical alternative to liposuction and gastric surgery and provides a safe and reliable path to a healthier you.
It includes both a nutrition element as well as treatments to help tighten the skin as you lose weight, in a safe way.
Also, unlike popular weight loss injection pens such as liraglutide, semaglutide and tirzepatide injections
(which you probably have heard of brands like Saxenda™, Ozempic™, Wegovy™ and Mounjaro™),
Alevere Therapy not
only helps you to lose 1 to 1.5 stones per month, it also helps you develop healthier habits so that when you
lose the desired weight you have the tools and knowledge to keep the weight off for a lifetime. One of the
problems with injection pens is that when patients stop using them, very often the weight is gained because
patients are simply starving themselves into weight loss but not actually learning any healthier habits to help
them stay at their new healthier weight. This is why we believe that Alevere is a healthier way to lose weight
and keep it off.
We also offer Aqualyx fat dissolving injections for localised fat loss as well as mesotherapy, MedContour
ultrasound and LPG machine treatments for localised fat and cellulite. We also offer a 7-day detox plan that
includes intermittent fasting as well as our Essentials30 plan that focusses on healthier swaps and developing
healthier longer term eating habits over a 30-day period.
We also work closely with a certified nutritionist, offer nutrition and diet advice, a DNA test called the
Fagron NutriGen DNA test to help personalise your weight loss by taking into account your own genetics.
We are also able to help with EXCESSIVE SWEATING (hyperhidrosis) and offer treatments for THREAD VEINS,
spider veins and unsightly red veins (with micro sclerotherapy and Veinwave).
We offer a wide range of treatments for hair. For thinning hair, balding and alopecia in men and women we offer treatments that promote hair re-growth for thicker fuller hair without surgery. These treatments are good alternatives to Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and Follicular unit extraction (FUE) and they can also be used in conjunction with or after surgery to help with a faster recovery and to enhance the results. The treatments we offer include PRP injections (platelet rich plasma), polynucleotide injections (Plinest Hair), Exosomes (Purasomes), skin needling, biotin booster shots, Mesotherapy (XL Hair), low level laser therapy/intense photo-diode therapy, prescription medications and topicals. We also offer the Fagron TrichoTest™ DNA test to help identify how your own genetics will help you respond or not to various treatments and therapies. We also offer laser hair removal to offer a permanent reduction in body and facial hair for men and women using a Primelase diode laser.
As many as 80% of women entering menopause are affected by vaginal dryness and about 50% of women
completing menopause continue to experience vaginal dryness. Other concerns that we can help with include
scarring, labial rejuvenation, alleviate painful intercourse, lichen sclerosis, and more.
We offer Polynucleotide injections (Plinest NewGyn) as well as Desirial (the world's first range of
bioresorbable, injectable hydrogels, exclusively developed to preserve women's intimate health). The
treatment is performed by our doctor who is specifically trained in this procedure, and it is performed
with respect to your care. For more information click here.
The issues surrounding men's intimate anatomy are complex. Whether it relates to the ability to function or perform, or the confidence a man has and the pressures he faces internally with confidence and peer pressure, all of these can create anxiety and have a devastating effect on self-esteem, social interactions, intimate relationships with a partner and overall quality of life. Medical penoplasty with dermal fillers is a non-surgical medical procedure that can improve confidence as well as help correct deformities. Medical penoplasty with dermal fillers is considered a safer alternative to traditional surgical augmentation, with fewer risks and complications. We can also help with Peyronie's disease, a condition that causes a curved penis due to scar tissue in the penis. It can also cause pain during erections and PRP (platelet rich plasma) injections and polynucleotide injections may help.
Hormone replacement therapy is used to replace body hormones that are in short supply (through age) and it offers a solution to many conditions, including menopause symptoms in women and andropause symptoms in men. Using a combination of prescribed bio-identical hormones (testosterone, oestrogen, progesterone and DHEA) along with proper nutrition and exercise (all of which we can help you with), can help you return to optimal levels of mental, physical, emotional and sexual health that you once enjoyed in your 20s and 30s.

We offer a wide range of aesthetic medical treatments to improve your skins health and self-confidence. Includes, injectable non-surgical treatments such as line smoothing dermal fillers (such as Restylane, Stylage, Juvederm, Perfectha, Maili, Voluma, Radiesse), PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), polynucleotides (Plinest, Newest, Plinest Eye, Plenhyage), Exosomes (Purasomes), skin peels (light, medium TCA and Deep Phenol Peels), Sculptra collagen stimulation, Ellanse, Skin needling with derma rollers, medical prescription skincare (such as Obagi NuDerm, Dermaceutic, Restylane, Skinceuticals), treatments for stretch marks, mole & skin-tag removal, mole screening and mapping, laser hair removal, skin conditions such as, eczema, psoriasis, thread veins, spider veins and unsightly red veins and much more.
We offer a range of intravenous vitamin drips / infusions and intramuscular booster shots (vitamin B12, vitamin C, Slimboost, CoQ10+, Vitaboost, biotin) using specific formulations provided by REVIV - a worldwide leader in the field of infusion therapies. Applying innovative western medicine to an eastern philosophy of balance, REVIV helps restore equilibrium through vitamin infused IV therapies to combat and to treat the effects of dehydration, strenuous physical activity, ageing, sunburns, fatigue, and other factors.
Our clinical team includes medical professionals whose top priority is you! You do not see a sales person.
Instead, you see a professional with many years of medical experience and all the reassurance, ethics and
responsibility that this brings. Sadly, in the largely unregulated UK market, there are many practitioners
out there with little or no medical qualifications providing some of the treatments that we offer so it is
often difficult to know there to turn.
If you are looking for a practitioner but you are not sure how or who to choose then we have 5 TOP TIPS to
help you decide. Watch our Senior Nurse Luis Costa BSc in this video where he shares those top 5 tips …
By using our state-of-the-art Observ™ Complexion Analysis system as part of a face treatment, we can assess your skin and develop a tailor-made programme for you. Observ™can identify various skin problems enabling us to recommend the best treatments and products for you. We can also advise you on aftercare home treatments to help you gain the maximum benefit from your investment 'in you'.

We regret that we are unable to accept children and infants in the clinic. We accept this might cause inconvenience but our considered reasons are as follows:
We do need to ensure a quiet and respectful ambiance for all our clients and we do not have the facilities or physical space to stow buggies and prams in the clinic.
The clinic contains furnishings and equipment that are delicate and may, if interfered with, pose a danger to children, whether unsupervised or supervised.
As much as we love our kiddies, their natural curiosity and imaginative natures means their desire to explore may bring them into danger!
Finally, for obvious safety reasons, children are not allowed in treatment rooms (needles, syringes, equipment etc!) and we are not able to supervise or be responsible
for children if left in the waiting room.
It is therefore respectfully advised that we cannot accept children and infants in the clinic and ask that you arrange suitable childcare for the duration of your
appointment.

We are a state-registered clinic (regulated by the Care Quality Commission - CQC) not a
beauty salon. We expressly employ registered healthcare-trained professionals to provide a
range of treatments and services on the assumption that the treatments we provide are for
primarily medical reasons. As a doctor-run medical clinic our responsibility is firstly to
our patients. We therefore only provide treatments where it is felt it is in the patient's best interest
to prescribe them and they are performed for primarily medical reasons. This follows a consultation with
a medical practitioner, a relevant medical history is taken and assessed and patient consent to treatment
is then obtained. Whilst medical treatments are exempt from Value Added Tax, clinics are required to add
Value Added Tax (20%) onto treatments that are primarily for cosmetic reasons.
Many aspects of our physical facial appearance, body image, skin-health or general health and
weight can have a negative effect on the way a person perceives oneself and it can negatively
affect our life confidence, self-esteem, personality, or the way we interact with others at work or in
social and family life. The rise in social media and celebrity culture has added to the daily pressures
we face. Accordingly, many people seek treatments or other therapies to improve their self-esteem or
self-confidence, treat depression, or other medical conditions such as damaged skin, scarring, burns,
excessive sweating, or other medical skin disorders. Others seek treatment to control migraines, frequent
headaches, and atypical facial pain.
In a recent survey of our patients on their primary motivations for seeking face treatments
96% of patients had concerns about aspects of their appearance before seeking treatment - only 4%
said they were not concerned and the overwhelming majority said this affected their social, family or work
interactions. Your particular reasons for seeking treatment will be discussed with your practitioner
during your consultation. We employ registered healthcare-trained professionals to provide a range of
treatments where it is felt it is in the patient's best interest to prescribe them and they are performed
for primarily medical reasons to protect, maintain, restore, and improve your physical and mental health and
well-being. All information discussed during your consultation will always remain confidential.
To help us monitor the quality of the service we provide as well as for your protection and the protection of our practitioners, please note that all calls to our clinic as well as consultations and treatments carried out may be recorded by audio voice recording equipment. These recordings are securely stored and their contents are not shared with any person or organisation outside our clinic without your written permission (except where needed for legal reasons). If this causes you concerns please do not hesitate to contact us for more information but please note our practitioners may refuse to treat or consult with you if audio voice recording is refused by you.
