Beautiful Body
With self-improvement at the heart of every New Year’s resolution, Waterfront talks to Mr Alex Karidis about self-confidence and the beauty treatments available at his Liverpool Medispa
as best we can. We often express this urge by improving our image; an act that, in turn, helps to increase our confidence. For the ultimate image revival, the latest Karidis medispa is the place to be. Located in Harvey Nichols’ exciting new concept store Beauty Bazaar, located within the Liverpool One district, the medispa offers an extensive range of non-surgical treatments, demonstrating the exciting advancements within the beauty industry. Mr Alex Karidis, cosmetic surgeon to the stars, is behind this venture. Having run his own private practice specialising in cosmetic surgery since 1997, Mr Karidis easily counters the argument against cosmetic surgery. “I think that the people who say that don’t really understand how the psyche works and how it helps us to function in our day to day lives,” he explains. “We are not all the same. We are different with different strengths and weaknesses. We all have different shortfalls that we feel are limiting us or limiting our confidence to do what we really want to do. You may call it superficial or unnecessary that someone should have a treatment because they’re not happy with their chest but the issue is with confidence. It inhibits you”.

Botox and injectable fillers are also on the menu along with plenty of other fantastic treatments. “We are all very happy to be involved in the Beauty Bazaar with the medispa,” Mr Karidis says of himself and his staff. “It’s a very novel way of approaching beauty and we’re very excited about it.” Te team at the Karidis Medispa are also
committed to being honest with customers and won’t recommend their treatments to non- suitable patients. Tis is in stark contrast to some clinics where non-surgical treatments are offered to customers even when they have problems that can only be solved through surgery. At the Medispa, Mr Karidis explains, “we can say, ‘don’t waste your time and money on this treatment because it’s not going to work’ and advise them to seek a surgical opinion,” explains Mr Karidis. “It’s important to be sincere with patients. Tey’re paying hard-earned money to have some treatments done. We have to cater for peoples’ expectations accordingly.” Clearly, customers interested in a treatment at the Medispa can be sure that they will receive honest and considered advice. Te beauty industry is changing and evolving
all the time. Now, non-surgical treatments can be combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle to offset the effects of ageing and prevent the need for surgical treatments later in life. Te Karidis Medispa offers customers the best of these non-surgical treatments, which Mr Karidis and his expert team have carefully chosen, giving soft and natural results.

If you don’t do a good job, everyone can see it!” However, people looking for a beauty fix without the need for surgery should instead head to the Karidis Medispa. “Te Beauty Bazaar is a very exciting and novel way of approaching beauty and I think the medispa works well there,” he comments. “Tere are lots of non- surgical things that you can do to improve
