What Is Phlebotomy — And Do I Need It?

Let’s keep this simple.

No, phlebotomy isn’t a scary word.No, it’s not just for hospitals.And yes — you can book it privately, without waiting weeks for an NHS appointment.

So… what actually is phlebotomy?

Phlebotomy is the medical term for drawing blood. That’s it. Just a trained professional using a needle to safely take a blood sample from your vein. It’s usually done for testing purposes — and if you’ve recently ordered a private blood test kit online, you might be told: “Get a phlebotomist to collect your sample.”

That’s where I come in. At Mr. Beautox Aesthetics in Worthing, I offer a private blood draw service in a clean, professional setting. You bring your own kit — and I take care of the rest. Whether it’s a hormone panel from Numan, a wellness check from Medichecks, or a nutrition-based test from BionutriCheck, I’ll draw your blood, label it properly, and make sure it’s ready to post using the prepaid envelope provided.

Who’s it for?

• Anyone who’s ordered a private blood test online

• People who’d rather skip the finger-prick kits and get a proper venous sample

• Those needing tests timed to specific cycles (like hormone tracking)

• Anyone who prefers a calm, one-on-one appointment

Is it safe?

Yes — when done by a trained, insured practitioner (👋 hi). I use sterile, single-use equipment and standard phlebotomy protocols. If you’ve ever had bloods taken at a GP, this will feel exactly the same — just quicker and friendlier.

How long does it take?

Usually around 15–20 minutes, including time to double-check your kit instructions. I’ll label everything correctly, make sure it’s packaged to spec, and you’ll be out the door with your sample ready to post.

Can I book online?

Yes — just choose “Phlebotomy” on my booking site. You can reschedule if needed, and you’ll collect loyalty points to use as credit for future treatments. Win-win.

Still unsure?

If it’s your first time booking a private blood draw, don’t worry — I’ll walk you through the whole process and make sure you’re comfortable. You bring the kit, I’ll do the rest.
