   Response from Dr. Moyle

Bioaclimid is not available via the NHS in the UK. Facial and buttock treatments are both possible if you have the . Its all private at present. The disadvantage of Bioalchamid is that it requires a more complex local anaesthesia than Newfill so at the moment cannot be given by nurses. There are however, some doctors being trained in its administration so there should be a some NHS service in the future. If you want to get it done privately contact Cloverleaf, the UK distributor, the product manager there Matt Clegg should know where you can get it Regards Graeme Moyle
