magine your friend is a master aesthetician and you’ve popped over for a treatment and a catch up


before heading out for the night. Tat’s what it feels like to visit


Shane Cooper in his Gloucester Road skincare clinic. Part of me wanted to be his friend, another part of me felt like I already was as he welcomed me into the room with a warm and enthusiastic: “Hello my love, how are you?” With a background in mental


health and substance abuse services, Shane is still just trying to make people happy. “When you look in the mirror and like what you see, that’s my job done,” he tells me. An expert in medical-

grade technology for facial rejuvenation, body contouring and skincare from head to toe, Shane’s subtle yet effective approach sees him treating celebrities (Sienna Miller and Rita Ora — to name a few) and royalty from around the world. I visit for the Exclusive Face Treatment (aka Red Carpet


Facial) that made him famous. After analysing your skin, Shane creates a bespoke treatment, choosing from 18 different pieces of equipment. Some, he quips, could require a small mortgage. My treatment starts with


oxygenation exfoliation, in which a device sends microbubbles into the skin to allow for deeper penetration of products, in a bid to reduce pigmentation, fine lines and pore size. After that, he goes in with a


microcurrent machine, telling me Jennifer Lopez has one in her home. Little pulses of electricity shoot into my muscles, tensing and tightening them in a bid to lift the skin. He follows this by rolling a radiofrequency device across my face, emitting heat into the dermis — said to trigger collagen production. Ten comes a step I wasn’t


expecting: dermaplaning. Tis is when a surgical scalpel is used to gently scrape off top layers of skin and any facial hair. Te sharpness of the blade doesn’t trigger regrowth, so it’ll grow back just

as it was, but while it’s removed skin looks smooth and polished. Next is 10 minutes of gossiping


about celebrities and musing over what work they have and haven’t had done (none of his clients, of course), while I have an LED device sitting over my face emitting energy waves in a bid to trigger even more collagen. A sheet mask goes on next,

Carbon dioxide is shot into my skin at a very low temperature, but very high pressure. Tis gives an immediate lifting effect while smoothing and brightening skin. Shane sits me up, hands me


a mirror — I’m faced with a chiselled new jawline and wide, doe eyes. It’s been a journey through some of the best aesthetics technology in the world and a week later, the results remain. Without a nip, tuck or needle in sight, Shane has taken years off my appearance.


Your health, your eyes


Mr Danny Mitry is an internationally renowned, highly accomplished consultant ophthalmic surgeon in London with extensive sub-speciality expertise


It’s easy to neglect your eyes — because they often don’t hurt when there’s a problem. A good ophthalmologist will spot many general


health problems and


early signs of eye conditions before you’re aware of any symp- toms, many of which can be treated. Some people are more at risk of eye problems, such as those over the age of 60, diabetics and those with a family history of eye disease. Mr Mitry is a consultant


ophthalmic surgeon in London with extensive sub-speciality expertise. His clinical interests are cataract surgery, refrac- tive lens exchange with multi- focal lenses, retinal surgery and general ophthalmology. He’s an acclaimed, highly experienced ophthalmologist and ophthalmic surgeon who has performed thou- sands of eye operations with an exceptional level of success and patient satisfaction. He’s also an


accomplished academic ophthal- mologist who has published more than 50 research articles in leading Ophthalmic journals. He was awarded a PhD from the University of Edinburgh for his extensive work on the causes and outcomes of retinal detach- ment surgery. Mr Mitry has given many lectures nationally and has been an invited lecturer in Europe and the United States. He graduated with honours in surgery from Trinity College Dublin and completed his resi- dency training at the world-re- nowned Moorfields Eye Hospital in London. He’s a consultant at the London Clinic Eye Centre in Harley Street and the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead.
