Hello everyone.
I forgot to let you know that Cindy will be training a practitioner on micro-dermabrasions so we need some willing volunteers to be microdermed by Christina.
This will be on 23 January so hurry and book a space now!!

New year new you - blah blah...
Hi everyone
First of all Happy New Year to you all. I hope it brings you everything you would want.
Second of all Cindy is having a Dermal Filler special day on FRIDAY 25 JANUARY. Places are booking up fast so ring me on 01732 832004 for an appointment. Cindy will be doing the treatments and each syringe is £240 instead of £260-£340.
Other news - well I have a couple of photos of Sharon since she had her cheeks done, and these were also in the Kent County Magazine this month.
The first photo was when she first came into the clinic. The second photo was after various treatments including botox, fillers, Theraderm skin system, and some microdermabrasion and was 4 weeks later.
As you can see there is some real difference in Sharon's skin tone as well as the position of her cheeks, which brings a lift to the whole of the side of her face.
If you real the Daily Mail on a Sunday you will also get the YOU magazine. Wendy Lewis the resident expert on all things in the aesthetic medicine field has given high praise to the Skinceuticals C&E Ferulic Acid Serum. Here is the
transcript of what she thinks with regard to skincare creams in general as well as stating that C&C Ferulic is a "GOTTA HAVE IT" product. We sell it at the clinic so if you want some please ring me and I will do the transaction over the phone and send it to you tout suite. That goes for all the creams that we sell at the clinic.
Wendy Lewis - "Good-quality skincare products go a long way."
Can you really hold back time without resorting to Botox or the surgeon's knife?
In an extract from her new book, our cosmetic surgery expert Wendy Lewis reveals the skincare creams that will keep you looking young...
" Do creams really work?
I get asked this question at least ten times a day. Creams absolutely work, but in a limited capacity. The main reason women are dissatisfied with their skincare is that their expectations are off the charts to begin with.
You mustn't be dazzled by claims that sound miraculous – there is no face-lift in a jar, or filler in a bottle, or Botox in a tube.
Many companies make great products, but they won't do much if your skin is in need of something more aggressive.
Skincare is the place to start, in order to lay a foundation for your beauty future, but eventually over-the-counter products won't be enough. That's when it's time to move from cream to needle.
When to splurge and when to save
You don't have to take out a second mortgage to have great skin. But don't cut corners on all your skincare formulas. Buying cheaper products can sometimes mean sacrificing the ingredients that your skin craves. Lesser-quality products sometimes contain more water, so you need more to get the job done, and there go your savings.
Good-quality skincare products are very concentrated, so using a small amount (about the size of a pea) is often enough and can make them last longer. If you figure out the cost of using one ounce of an eye cream that costs £50 over three months, it comes to about 50p per day.
Splurge on a few great products that you can't live without in the anti-ageing and treatment categories – for example, your favourite eye cream.
Spend more of your budget on your face than on your body. Fill in with less expensive cleansers, body scrubs and lotions, and hand creams.
Watch expiry dates. The newer the product, the fresher the ingredients and the more effective it will be. Buy small sizes so that the shelf life does not expire before you get to the bottom of the jar.
If the product causes you to react or break out, ask for a refund or exchange it. The return policy may be quite liberal in big stores (30 to 60 days), which gives you a chance to see results, or not. (the Cindy Knight Clinic gives 30 days guarantee).
You don't have to spend a fortune on a good cleanser to get your skin clean and remove make-up. Look for multitasking products. Facial wipes, for example (No 7 Quick Thinking 4 in 1 Wipes, £6.50, and Olay Daily Facials Express Wipes, £4.49, both available nationwide), do it all – cleanse, tone, remove face and eye make-up, and refresh.
How can I tell if my skincare is working?
Use it as directed for at least six full weeks consistently to judge fairly. Get a second opinion; ask your partner or a girlfriend who will tell you the truth if they see an improvement. If you are not getting remarks like 'Your skin looks amazing!' it may not be getting the job done."
