Why are women queuing at the door? In fact 28% are men!

Botox, chemical peels, skin analysis and microderm a magical potion of rejuvenation, replenishment and definitely a feel good factor.    

At our clinics we show an increase of 68% in non-surgical treatments with the top 3 are :-

1. Botox
2. Microdermabrasion
3. Chemical Peels

An amazing 88% return rate, there’s always room for improvement – team.

But what does it tell me? Well, we have something that people want, we deliver results and we have happy patients.

Keep it small, keep it slick and let reinvention begin.

Clients – just watch the way they strut, hold their head high, speak or simply dress, this is powerful beauty – power in a strange type of way – Confidence?

Peaches and Cream – why a good canvas (skin) is so important

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

When people compliment me on the way I look I am not embarrassed to talk about the treatments I’ve had.

I’ve had botox, lip plumping, Sculptra, laser treatments. To me it’s about looking your best, and I tell my clients there’s nothing wrong with that.

My skin however, I’ve always been a bit obsessive – the roots are in my spotty youth which really never went away. If I’d been born with plump, flawless skin – yes I’d have been very lucky.  The most youthful asset any woman can have is a peaches and cream complexion.

My philosophy to ageing is yes I’m older but I want to look fresh – if I look tired – I feel tired!

Don’t you feel the same!

So back to the skin – How did I improve it?  Well systematically and externally.

That means a great new antibiotic combination from the states and yes exfoliation, exfoliation and exfoliation!

How do we exfoliate?

  1. Good skin care based on alpha hydroxyl acids, antioxidants and our own secret chemistry ‘Skinscription’
  2. Regular peels – all naturally based with minimal downtime
  3. IPL facial – a great solution for pigmentation, sun damage, red veins and collagen stimulus
  4. CO2 laser – yes after this my skin transformed YouTube Preview ImageYes, healing did take a couple of weeks but I’ve never looked back.  The CO2 procedure made me fearless of any cosmetic procedure – but as I always say, no pain –no gain

Look in the mirror….

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Ok we all look in the mirror and know what bothers us, but is it possible to enhance what we’ve got simply without big costs and instantly? Well here are my top tips for all you at home.

1. The eyes have it
Lashes that are instant, easy and yes if need be you can do it yourself. Add instant glamour by simply adding a few extensions to the outer corners of the eye, producing a lifting appearance to the outer lids…

2. Brows
Take a look in the mirror, as we age what happens is the hair thins and lightens. So how did we forget those brows.
You can dye and even tattoo them back but for instant and simple solution simply use a soft kohl pencil and colour them in, even if you’re a blond. Go on try one and what do you think?

3.Lips….thinner lips, loss of definition and lip line yearn for RestylaneGlossy lips

…well an instant trick I learnt from my makeup artist friend Wendy was apply a small amount of illuminator along the outer body of the lip apply a soft lip line and then a clear gloss instant definition volume and youth .

4. Skin
Need a polyfiller for those imperfections…yes simple use a light reflecting primer under any foundation to smooth soften and perfect any imperfection

5. Hair….lack of lustre, drab, need an instant lift? Then use Moroccanoil.com Yes a small application all over and at the roots gives instant smoothness, shine and defrizz all in one

Follow the 5 steps above and let me see your results….guaranteed results

Could your facial expressions age you?

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Just like going to the gym. Of course facial exercises via facial expression can age you.  But ladies and gents don’t worry – faces were created to move!

As a practitioner who believes –‘so natural, everybody notices – but nobody knows ‘(although I tell everyone about my procedures!) I believe that faces should move.

So thank god for a little bit of Botox, Restylane and laser resurfacing.

That’s why our Wrinkle Free Wednesdays are so popular.

Great research by realself.com

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Great research by realself.com

Showing that the desire for cosmetic enhancement is certainly increasing

What do I say?  Yes, yes, yes.

Teeth whitening, wrinkle reduction, body shaping including cellulite reduction is a ‘want’ treatment – this is definitely evident on the streets of Britain.

Why because the price for the consumer is better, the results instant and in my experience it makes the patient certainly look better and feel better.

Get lippy

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Unilevers latest round of research – fuller lips really do make you look younger.

Get Lippy

Totally agree – lip enhancement and augmentation really does make patients look younger, feel better and most of all gives them the confidence to smile.

I’ve used all types of lip fillers, Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm. However, I always use a semi- permanent one – for example, one that doesn’t last forever. Why? Simple, a lip enhancement or augmentation should be produced to be in harmony with the rest of the face, to look natural.

We all age, whatever magical treatments, lotions, potions or surgery we may have – age is inevitable. So a set of lips placed permanently at the age of 21 may not look quite as good at 50! Think about it – Jackie Stallone.

So my advice – use a product that’s simple, safe and effective – always ensure its pain free – yes it can be. Ask your practitioner for a local anaesthetic – most important ladies and gents – keep it natural, keep it semi-permanent (you are much better having it enhanced every 6 months or yearly, but most of all keep them in harmony with the rest of your face.
