I'm back - did you miss me??

Hello to all my cyber clientele.

I am back from my Florida trip and all those who are interested in seeing 100 pictures of various sunsets and alcoholic drinks, go and look on my facebook profile. I will have hard copies in the clinic too if you want to be distracted from the needles..... Mind you, everone knows that Cindy is a whizz with the needle, causing minimum amount of pain.

The staff situation has changed, as Sarah is no longer a consultant nurse at the clinic. We wish her well.

Christmas is just around the corner and I thought I would let you know the Clinic's Christmas opening times.
Cindy is working until 21st December and will be back on 3rd January.
Leah (IPL Laser/Accent - Tuesdays and Wednesdays) is working until 19th December and will be back on 9th January.
Fiona (Accent - Thursdays and some Saturdays) will be in until the 13th December and will be back on 10th January.
Usha's last day will be 17th December and she will be back on 7th January. Massages make very good Christmas presents you know!

I will be manning the phones as usual so you can still book appointments and/or purchase creams and Gift Vouchers.

For all you clients who like us to be "Secret Squirrel" with regard to any of the treatments, I have liaised with our Card terminal agents and The Cindy Knight Clinic will be shown as CKC Ltd on your credit card bills in the very near future...

Remember there will be a dermal filler special price day sometime in January so keep watching the newsletter for the exact date!

Dermal fillers Special reminder and other news

Hi everyone

Just reminding you all of the Dermal Filler special weekend on Friday and Saturday 2 and 3 November. £240 per syringe (apart from Sculptra). There are still a couple of places available with Sarah. Cindy will also be there to assist with any questions etc.

You will also be glad to know that Cindy will be opening a small consulting room in Cooden, Bexhill East Sussex in the new year as an extension to the business. Good news for our South East coast clients!!

Accent is doing well - my belly is much smoother and softer since my six treatments with Fiona - modesty prevents me from showing my belly on the World Wide Web but I can tell you that I am very happy with the results.

Remember that we have our resident qualified masseuse every Monday. Ring me as usual for an appointment.

Can I ask all long term clients to check their mobiles regarding our Clinic number. The 363155 number will be no more very very soon. So please change your settings to the 01732 832004 number

If you buy coffee table magazines, go out and look for At Home with Nicky Hambleton-Jones which is a fantastic read for all your aesthetic needs and features our Clinic.

Remember that I am off on Annual Leave from 5th - 25 November so when booking an appointment you will be speaking to Leah or Nigel who will be able to assist.

Have a happy halloween but make sure that you are looking lovely!!

More piccies of Sharon

Hi - see my post below for more details but I just had to add some more photos of Sharon now that she has had some Dermal Filler treatment to her face. She has had some Teosyal Deep Lines injected into the nose to mouth lines (naso-labial). Here are a few pictures to show pre, during and post-treatment.

1st photo is before the filler treatment.

The second photo is during treatment - Sharon has had the right side done. Although the procedure did sting, Sharon was so pleased with the results that she became quite emotional.

The third Photo shows the end result.

News, news and more news including special Dermal Filler day!!

First off let's give you the latest on our 10 Years Younger lady, Sharon. Having had her first Botox treatment she came back for the assessment. Cindy added a couple of injections to the forehead where there was still excess movement. Cindy did not want Sharon to lose the natural movements in her face. Both Sharon and Cindy were pleased with the result.

Sharon also had a microdermabrasion treatment which took all the dead skin cells off her face and left her with lovely pink skin as opposed to the grey skin that Sharon was sporting earlier in the month. Sharon is keeping a diary which I will publish at a later date. Here are the "2 week on" photos, and let me tell you that I am not the most observant girl in the world, but I noticed such a big difference in Sharon's face.

The second piece of news is that we have a new nurse joining us on 2 November, and we will be celebrating this by having a special Dermal Filler Weekend on the 2nd and 3rd of November. - Update - Cindy is not taking on a new nurse at this time due to changes in circumstances.

The third piece of news is that, as can be seen in my previous post, we have the services of a qualified masseuse on a Monday. One hour £40, half an hour £30. Please ring me at the clinic for an appointment for any of our services.

Now that the Accent machine is up and running we have seen some very happy clients! I myself have lost about 5cm from my belly and I am also having my bingo wings done and after two treatments I have lost 2cm from one arm and 1.5cm from the other. Accent appointments are available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and some Saturdays (by mutual agreement with the therapist).

That is it for this week. Please note that I am on Annual Leave from 5th November until 23 November so please be gentle with my surrogate Practice Managers Leah (from 6th to 13th November) and Nigel (from 14th to 23rd November).

Cindy Knight Clinic presents Usha Christmas qualified Masseuse

Hi everybody

I thought I would let you all know that as from October 2007 The Cindy Knight Clinic will be expanding to include a qualified masseuse. Usha will be available for appointments every Monday.

As usual, ring me for an appointment. Usha will be giving me her pen picture which I will upload as soon as I can but I thought I would let you all know now whilst the news is hot!

Usha is qualified and fully insured to perform massage treatments, her forte being sports massage but anyone can benefit from her treatments.

Introducing our 10 years younger participant

Sharon is an interior designer with a shop in Hildenborough. Sharon has never used any products on her skin and it shows.

I have included a couple of her before photos and I want you all to guess her age. Please feel free using the comments box or by emailing me.

As Sharon goes through the treatments I will be asking her what she thought of it, and how it felt, etc.

Today is the 13th September and Cindy has given Sharon her first consultation and has decided that she will start with a gentle treatment of Botox on the three areas, glabella, forehead, and the upper part of the crows feet. Cindy wants Sharon to have a natual look and will assess her handiwork in two weeks time, as is usual with Botox treatment.

Cindy then gave Sharon a Theraderm Skin Renewal System (RRP £135) in order to start Sharon on a skincare regime.

The skincare renewal system comprises of:

Step 1 - the Cleansing Wash,

Step 2 - Fruit Acid Exfollient,

Step 3 - OPC Reparative Gel and

Step 4 - Gentle Moisturiser.

Cindy explained that this should be used once a day.

She also gave Sharon a Theraderm SPF 30 Suncream (RRP £20) to ensure that her face is protected from UVA and UVB rays at all times.

I asked Sharon how she felt after the Botox treatment. She said that although she was anticipating a lot of pain, the first injection stung a little bit then the next 10 injections did not hurt at all. 15 minutes later she felt a slight burning sensation which was gone after a further 10 minutes.

Before Sharon left, Cindy gave her a sample of Skinceuticals Eye Balm and booked her in for her two week assessment.

Cindy has plans for Sharon, which include, a course of microdermabrasion treatments, dermal fillers, and a chemical peel (the Theraderm Kit helps the skin to prepare for this treatment).

No other news really apart from Cindy being on Annual Leave from tomorrow until 25th September. I am holding the phone so you can still ring for appointments, advice and creams.

Cindy's next Saturdays are 29th September and 13th October.

See you all around, and remember to look me up on Facebook and be my friend!!

Cindy's Saturdays in September

Although Cindy is on Annual Leave during September she has a couple of Saturdays on the diary. So if you require a Saturday appointment (fillers and botox only) then she is here on 8th and 29th September. Ring me on the usual number to book an appointment.

I have joined Facebook, so if you are a member, don't be shy, ask me to be your friend. I want to set up a group on there but I am not sure if everyone wants to be loud and proud about their secret of youth!!

My next big project is to organise a press party for our new Accent machine. Any tips regarding the PR etc. would be gratefully received.

Also look out for Nicky Hambleton-Jones' new magazine which is out in November. We have a nice full page ad in there. Thanks to Andy Bull (Uniteform) who got it done before their deadline.

The new Kent/London County Mag is now out - look out for our ad in there too.

That's it for this week

Annual Leave information and new products..

Hi everyone



I have just come back from my holiday in Michigan and I had a great time. I attended a pow-wow and swam in the lake, and managed not to shop too much...

If you want to see the photos here is the Flickr Guest Pass:

http://www.flickr.com/gp/10637977@N03/U88231

Just to let you know that Cindy will be on Annual Leave from 23rd August to 29th August and from 14th to 24th September.

Leah will be on Annual Leave from 27th August until 7 September.



The Accent machine is in and running now. So if you want a consult, ring me and I will book you in. I have had one treatment so far, and I can say that, although I am a baby when it comes to pain, I was fine. There are a few hotspots here and there but the handpiece releases a cooling sensation when it becomes a bit too hot.

Those that know me, will know that my tummy is not the smallest in the world but when I have had all the treatments I will let you all know how it went. Having seen the photos and discussed other clinics' results I am very hopeful of at least a tighter, less wobbly belly. Obviously I won't look like Kate Moss but my expectations were managed by the therapist Fiona.



Skinceuticals have launched a new retail product, which will be available from September. Based on the award-winning technology of Hydrating B5 Gel, Hydrating B5 Masque is formulated with twice the concentrations of hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5. Enriched with a unique complex containing constituents of the skin's natural moisturising factor (NMF), this weekly hydration treatment helps re-establish the water balance critical for maintaining skin metabolic funtions at optimal levels. Hydrating B5 Masque plumps dehydrated and stressed skin to promote a healthy, youthful appearance.

10 years younger? - it can be done with the Cindy Knight Clinic

The Accent leaflets have arrived at last so email me your name and address and I will send you a copy tout suite!

Breaking NEWS.......

The newsletter will take a fantastic turn next month when one of Cindy's colleagues "S" will be trying all the treatments right before your cyber-eyes!

"S" is an aesthetic treatment virgin and just uses soap and water so she will be an ideal canvas.

Each month, starting at the end of August I will be logging "S"'s progress on the newsletter as she undertakes Botox, peels, filllers and whatever else is required for her to look 10 years younger! In fact we are hoping for a lot more years falling off!

It will begin with the before photo and you will all be invited to guess her age in true Nicky Hambleton-Jones fashion. But we will not be parading her around Bluewater. It will all be on this Newsletter. So keep this page as a "bookmark" so that you can dip in and out as you wish.

As the treatments progess you will get the chance to ask her questions like "Does it hurt?" "How long before the treatment kicks in?" etc. Your questions will remain anonymous if you like, and you can always ask them through the comments part of the blog if you wish.

Check my posts below for other news and see you all soon!

Embarrassing Illnesses!

For anyone that tunes in to Channel 4's Embarrassing Illnesses, you might notice that a number of patients have problems that can be cured at the Cindy Knight Clinic.

For example, tonight's program showed a man who suffered from hair growth over his right shoulder. This can easily be treated by undertaking our IPL treatment, which has the double benefit of lightening any pigmentation lying beneath the hair.

A few weeks ago a patient had problems with excessive sweating - this is known as hyperhidrosis. The doctor suggested that they have Botox injections which would reduce the sweating dramatically. This treatment is also performed at the Cindy Knight Clinic for £500 for both armpits.

IPL treatment can also be used for acne reduction.

Leah is our IPL practitioner and works on Tuesday and Wednesday. On two Wednesdays a month she works until 8pm.

Remember to wear your sunblocks guys - we carry the Skinceuticals range of sunblock as well as the Theraderm Platinum Protection sunblock. If you want to order one ring me and I can take your order over the phone.

That's it for this week. Oh and I have a few spaces for the microdermabrasion day on 17th July. Ring the Clinic for details - 01732 832004. Oh and if you are feeling generous please sponsor my mate who is running for the Marie Curie Cancer Charity. See the widget to the right!





Diana (this is me in a rare photogenic moment)

Special Microdermabrasion day!

To celebrate Leah's return to the clinic from maternity leave we are having a special microdermabrasion day on Tuesday 17th July. Leah will be doing the treatments at a special rate of £60 instead of the regular price of £85. Please book now to avoid disappointment.

Leah is returning to the clinic each Tuesday and Wednesday and will be the IPL practitioner. So ring for an appointment for issues with hair, pigmentation and acne.


Leah's little bady daughter Tiegan Bethany Knight is now 5 months old and will be starring in Friday's Kent and Sussex Courier for "Best Baby" competition. If you want to help Leah increase Tiegan's chances of winning please buy the Courier and vote vote vote!!



The filler day is now chocablock but we will be running another one in January 2008.

I have had a lot of positive feedback about the newsletter so I will continue to post it on a weekly-ish basis. However I will only forward it to everyone on a monthly basis so you are not too bombarded with emails!


Speak to you all again.

We stock Skinceuticals, Theraderm and Mene and Moy products. so if you can't get to the clinic just ring me up with your credit/debit card and I will send you your products poste haste, including the all-important sun-blocks!

Welcome to the Cyberclinic!

Hello all!

My name is Diana Knight and I am the Practice Manager at the Cindy Knight Clinic. I thought I would use the power of cyberspace to launch the Cindy Knight Clinic online Newsletter.

First of all welcome to this newsletter. We are going to use it as the vehicle for letting our clients know about new treatments, special offers, and our latest news.



Talking of latest news, I can let you know that from August 2007 the clinic will be offering the latest ACCENT Radio Frequency treatment.

This treatment was given FDA approval in April 2007 and gives absolutely amazing results with regard to skin tightening, cellulite reduction and body reshaping. As you can see from the photos this treatment shows real results after 6 - 8 treatments.



If you are interested in treatment please ring the clinic on 01732 832004 and book an appointment or request a brochure/more information.

Prices are £300 per session for the face and £200 per session for a specific body area.

Your first treatment will take 45 - 60 minutes, allowing for before photographs to be taken. Ongoing treatments will typically be 30 minute appointments. For facial remodelling, a course of 2 - 4 sessions is usually required at 2 - 4 week intervals. However body treatments usually require a course of 6 - 8 treatments at 7 day intervals. In the case of stubborn cellulite however, treatment can be applied more frequently.

We also have the "Superior Pro" Intense Pulse Light laser which is a skin rejuvenation tool for such problems as red veins, excess hair, pigmentation problems, skin lesions and other skin issues you might be dealing with. Come to the clinic for a free consult and we can advise your best course of action.

Thanks.

Diana
