RELAXATION AND PAMPERING IN THE HEART OF BIRMINGHAM

Enhance, rejuvenate and revitalise at The Bournville Clinic

If you've always rather liked the idea of a beauty treatment but been a bit too nervous to actually take the plunge, then a visit to The Bournville Clinic will quickly put you at your ease.

Imagine pampering your face with a soothing facial, followed by a skin rejuvenating Microdermabrasion and maybe even botox to rid your face of any lines and wrinkles. The possibilities are endless; the only problem is you might end up spending a whole day being pampered! (And why not?).

The Bournville Clinic originated as a dental practice, and is now home to a husband and wife team, with dentist Dr Payne keeping teeth sparkling and Dr Jane Holloran heading the cosmetic side. Situated in a converted family home in leafy Bournville, the clinic manages to combine an air of comfort with one of calm and professionalism.

As Jane is a qualified GP, she is able to provide clients with a reassuring medical consultation before she performs any treatments, and there is always the possibility of having a facial and a filling at the same time! The philosophy of the clinic is that clients are able to make the most of their appearance, by having expert staff performing treatments in a comfortable and private environment.

I was lucky enough to visit The Bournville Clinic last week for my  first experience of beauty treatments and was immediately made to feel welcome and relaxed by the quiet efficiency of Jane and Sarah, who performs the less invasive treatments. First Jane went into my personal details and medical history which helped to emphasise what capable hands I was in and then she explained the treatments I was going to have. After this, and now feeling more excited than nervous, I was taken into the treatment room where Sarah was waiting for me. The atmosphere was calm and inviting and Sarah explained each step of the treatment. I was to begin with a Microdermabrasion followed by an Agera face peel.  (You can win these treatments in our competition - see below).

I thoroughly enjoyed my treatments, experienced no discomfort during or afterwards and my skin felt lovely and, strangely, even better the next day. In fact, several people commented on how well and "glowing" I looked. The whole experience was pleasant and relaxing and I can't wait for my next visit!

But there are not just beauty treatments for the face -  other areas of the body can also be treated at the clinic. Velasmooth is a revolutionary and painless new treatment that can eliminate that bane of most women - cellulite.

Before treatment

After treatment

The main areas targeted are hips, upper thighs, buttocks and the neck, and a course of treatments over an eight week period would give the best results. Of course we’ve all heard of laser hair removal, and this is a popular procedure to rid your underarms, legs and face of unwanted hair.

If you want to indulge in some serious pampering and make yourself look and feel beautiful for the summer, take a look at the wide range of treatments available on the Bournville clinic website: www.thebournvilleclinic.com or telephone: 08708 797 030. Take my advice and book yourself in for a little pampering you deserve it!
