Despite the recession we have had a very busy year at Mapperley Park Clinic, with another new staff member joining our team this week. We're delighted to welcome JoJo on board.

We have also invested heavily in new lasers and equipment and have an ever increasing client base to keep us busy.

Hair removal continues to be popular, as does thread vein removal, skin rejuvenation and tattoo removal. Helen is still happily injecting away on the BOTOX and fillers side of things while our surgical unit is still busy with Mr. Braithwaite treating Varicose Veins as a 'walk-in walk-out' procedure.

On the Plastic Surgery side we have Mr. Henley carrying out consultations and minor procedures and we also have Mr. Haseeb offering Vaser fat removal, hair transplants and minor procedures.

From January, Mr. Haseeb will also be carrying out Blepharoplasty (that's eye-bag removal to you and me) under local anaesthetic. As usual, I am the first to have a go and am booked in for January 17th so watch this space, as I will be posting a case study and photos, much as I did for ePrime, on the website. I would also like to emphasise that it WILL NOT be the first time for Mr. Haseeb, just for me!

Several people have asked if they can come and watch but, although I am always happy to be the first, I am not planning on having treatments carried out as a spectator sport.

ePrime, the new Radio Frequency, single treatment jaw lifting technique, continues to be popular with lots of clients taking advantage of the opening offer price of £1500. We are trying to hold this offer open into the New Year but it will go up to the normal price of £1950 at some stage so don't delay if you are thinking about this innovative new treatment.

The new CO2 laser is also popular and I am getting really lovely, pleasing results on acne scars and lip lines, amongst other things. It is also brilliant for eyelids and I had my upper lids treated by Sarah last Friday. Needless to say I am still a bit scabby and swollen but it will be worth it, I have no doubt whatsoever. Pictures will be posted as the results start to show.

So now we are looking forward to another year of exciting new treatments and cutting edge technology. As ever, we are still early adopters of new possibilities, but cautious enough to do our research thoroughly before offering anything to our clients.

Here at Mapperley Park we really believe that we offer 'Safe Hands for Healthy Skin' and our busy diary shows that our ever increasing client base think so too! If you would like to find out more about these or any other treatments we offer, simply visit our website or phone us on 0115 9692323 to book a consultation with one of our expert laser practitioners.
