Hope January wasn't too cold and dreary for you all. I am writing this on a lovely sunny February day so let's hope that the weather holds of the rest of winter.
I have a few bits of news for you and a couple of offers so make sure you read all of this blog.
ACCENT CELLULITE REMOVAL/FAT REMOVAL SYSTEM - Try before you buy offer
The first 10 people that ring/e-mail me will have the opportunity to try the Accent system for just a booking fee of £10. This "try before you buy" day will be held on Thursday 13th March. So if you have thought about having the treatment but were worried about what it entailed, then this will be a chance for you to try it.
MICRODERMABRASION/THREADING WEDNESDAYS
Christina Beaumont has now joined the Cindy Knight Clinic and will be available every Wednesday for microdermabrasion appointments as well as facial hair removal by threading. . This includes eyebrows, of course. Christina is a qualified Aromatherapist.
If you book a course of microdermabrasions with Christina, they will only cost £30 per treatment at present. Microdermabrasions with Cindy are £85, so this is an great offer. Not only that, Christina can combine the treatment with an eyebrow threading treatment for an extra £5.
Eyebrow threading on its own will cost £10. Full face threading, which gets rid of all facial hair, including the downy hair, costs £20.
Please ring the Clinic number as usual for appointments with Christina. Telephone number 01732 832004.
WHICH? MAGAZINE'S RECENT STUDY OF AESTHETIC CLINICS
“Which?” Magazine is calling for:
Any provider of invasive cosmetic treatments required to register with the
Healthcare Commission (soon to become Care Quality Commission). -Cindy Knight Cinic is fully registered.
Any cosmetic treatments must be provided under the direct supervision of
registered healthcare professionals who have appropriate training, skills and
competence in the procedure. - Cindy Knight Clinic complies with this.
The regulatory bodies for all healthcare professions, not only doctors, dentists and nurses but also where any registrants have independent prescribing rights, must provide clear and regular guidance to all registrants about providing cosmetic treatments of:
- Their obligations under the regulatory codes to put patients’ interests and their safety first.
Their personal accountability for the standards of any treatment delegated to others, particularly unqualified staff. - The need to secure properly informed consent prior to any treatment.
- Failure to abide by the guidance and any codes may affect their registration.
The IHAS must adopt a more robust approach to monitoring and enforcing breaches of its good practice code, including naming and shaming of any companies that breach the code, especially repeat offenders.
If you don't come to the Cindy Knight Clinic, please ensure that the Clinic you go to is regulated by the Healthcare Commission. An estimated three out of four providers of cosmetic laser procedures (some 3000 clinics) are operating illegally by not being registered with the Healthcare Commission.
THERADERM ONLINE ORDERING
The Cindy Knight Clinic has been chosen as one of only 5 clinics in the country to provide Theraderm products online. As soon as it is up and running I will let you know.
I think that is it for now!!
