We've just had a little nugget of nutritional information passed on to us by the iiaa the Institute for Anti Ageing, and we thought we'd share it with you.
Satsumas and clementines are traditionally eaten in abundance at Christmas time. Do you painstakingly strip off every trace of those little white fibre veins from your fruit? Or do you simply peel and eat the lot?
Exciting nutritional benefits are to be found in the bits of fruits and veg that we often discard. Hesperidin is a bioflavonoid found in citrus fruits, most highly concentrated in the white pith.
According to nutritionist Patrick Holford, bioflavonoids like hesperidin strengthen capillaries, stabilise vitamin C and have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Boost your intake with our Advanced Nutrition Programme Skin Collagen Support supplement (110mg of hesperidin per 2 capsules)
And next time you peel your fruit, enjoy the white stuff too!

Fast Fixes For Busy Girlies
It's getting to that time of year where we are preparing for the Christmas festivities, and all that shopping, planning, cooking and cleaning can play havoc with a girl's nails!
Here at Waters Edge Clinic we know that spare time can be in short supply as we get closer to the 'Big Day', and finding the time to sit and wait for your nails to dry after a manicure is definately not on the priority list!
So why not try Shellac, the manicure that gives a high gloss shine for 14 days or more, with no danger of chipping or splitting nails? Even better, your nails are dry instantly, so you're ready to go immediately your manicure is completed - and you won't have to worry about smudging either, as the high gloss finish seals and protects your nails.
It's another thing on your list that you can tick as 'done' and forget for 2 weeks during the festive period, and no matter how hard you party, your nails will always look immaculate! We have a special discount on Shellac manicures throughout December, so it's an even better treat!
Talking of needing quick fixes to get you looking good for the party season, how about a treatment for perking up your eyes that takes about 35 minutes, and is guaranteed to give tired eyes a 'lift'?
Our Express Eye Lift does just that! Using gentle microcurrent lifting techniques, we'll have those dark circles, puffy eyes and fine lines sorted in no time!
See our website, www.watersedgeclinic.co.uk for full details of these fast fixes, guaranteed to leave you looking sparkling with minimum time and effort this Christmas!www.watersedgeclinic.co.uk

Forget The Dukan - here's the Kandu diet!
So here's an idea; swap the Dukan diet for the Kandu diet. Heres how it goes:
I Kandu a Saturday night curry (home cooked by Chef D with only healthy ingredients ;)and I Kandu a Sunday morning croissant. The secret? Eat a small portion and work out like a maniac!
That's all there is to the Kandu diet!

Why We're Not On Groupon
Everybody likes to get a great deal on whatever they are buying, especially these days, and the popularity of group discount incentives on the internet has grown as a result.
Recently there have been a number of offers for treatments such as Botox and even plastic surgery, on sites such as Groupon, which has been a real cause for concern among industry professionals. Criticism has come from industry commentators such as the BAAPS (British Association of Associate Plastic Surgeons) who have spoken out against promoting what are, after all, serious surgical procedures and operations on group buying sites.
The main concern is the trivialisation of these serious medical procedures, such as tummy tucks, breast surgery and rhinoplasty (nose jobs to you and me!) in the media and amongst marketing groups.
Groupon and similar sites have been criticised for their discounted surgery offers. The British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, (BAPRAS) have a warning on their website that 'members engaging in such activities will be the subject of investigation'.
Although we don't offer any surgical procedures at Waters Edge Clinic, we do offer Botox, dermal fillers and medical skin needling. Our industry peers and associations are also concerned about offering these treatments on group buying sites, and for the same reasons as the medical profession; these treatments should be prescribed. Imagine going for a consultation with a plastic surgeon, and being told that you have to make your decision within 30 minutes in order to get a 'special deal'?! This harks back to the bad old days of the double glazing salesman approach, and goes against established codes of practice which prohibits time-linked offers and incentives. Injectables and medical needling would fall under these auspices.
We are expected, as professionals, to give clients/patients a chance to make informed choices; people can't possibly make an informed choice if they are buying a treatment through a group incentive, without even having a consultation before presenting themselves for their 'cut price deal'.
There's absolutely no problem with group incentives for treatments such as manicures, pedicures, eyelash extensions and other non-invasive treatments, although we are hearing stories of long waiting times to get the discounted deal, as salons have been overwhelmed, sometimes leading to a lower standard in service.
So, we've decided not to 'Groupon' Waters Edge Clinic's treatments, however, that doesn't mean we won't offer special promotions and discounts from time to time, and our most loyal clients will always be offered exclusive extra discounts.
We'd rather offer clients genuine discounts that don't compromise on standards of treatments, or levels of care for those having the more medically-oriented treatments that we offer.
We think we've made the right decision, but what do you think?

Introducing The Needle Free Anti Frown Treatment
"Botox is out! Now it's official.........
Women prefer 'Super-Facials' as the top anti-ageing treatment"
The Daily Mail
The media are on fire with features highlighting the rise of exactly the kind of anti-ageing services that a switched-on salon must now offer to satisfy the public. The buzz is all about 'super-charged' facials and super-effective ingredients.
According to the Daily Mail, celebrities and the public alike are turning away from Botox and deep peels in favour of salon based approaches that help the skin to rejuvenate itself.
iiaa products and treatments provide measurable results that don't involve painful and risky surgery or toxic injections that 'freeze' normal human expressions. Our new must-have super facial The Frown Treatment, is now available at Waters Edge Clinic.
"67% OF WOMEN WANT ANTI-AGEING FACIALS, COMPARED WITH ONLY 21% WHO WANT BOTOX" says Olay's Big British Beauty Poll. Their survey asked 20,000 18-65 year old women which types of anti-ageing treatments they have had, or would consider having, with surprising results.
Anti-ageing facials top the list at 67%! Just 24% have had or would opt for cosmetic surgery.
"CELEBRITIES SUCH AS DANNII MINOGUE SAY 'NO MORE' TO BOTOX, WOMEN ARE FOLLOWING THE TREND AND TURNING TO SUPER-CHARGED FACIALS AS ALTERNATIVES TO FIRMER, YOUNGER-LOOKING SKIN" Daily Mail
WHAT THE PRESS SAY ABOUT ENVIRON SALON TREATMENTS:
"iiaa brand Environ offers probably the most effective facial treatment technology available in the world today, giving results that make others suspect you may have had surgery or injectables!" Grazia Magazine
Mary Linehan, beauty editor, Optima Magazine; "I LOVED the Frown Treatment. I am really impressed with the results. My frown line is a consternation to me. Even the one treatment certainly improved the appearance of it, plus my other lines - crevices, actually"
Actress SADIE FROST loves her anti-ageing Environ facials. "I always come out looking radiant and feeling totally relaxed. Everyone is commenting on how great my skin looks - I am 100% happy"
Suzanne Duckett, beauty editor, Good Housekeeping, was amazed by her facial: "I'll do some yoga, book Environ skin care company's FROWN TREATMENT and blur that line from inside out"
It's the no-needle treatment that will soften lines on the forehead and around the eyes, and it stimulates the natural production of collagen when ENVIRON skincare products are used alongside. Happy days!
We're excited about this treatment! The results are clinically proven, and we are pleased to be able to offer this treatment. Come and see us for a free consultation, see some 'before and after' pictures, and learn about the ENVIRON 'no-needle' approach to eliminating those lines.

Onwards and Upwards!
It's been a while since Clinicguru posted. Let's just say that there have been a few minor distractions lately, but nothing we can't cope with.
It never ceases to amaze us that our industry sometimes seems to attract the most undesirable and unprofessional types - of course it happens in all professions, but, if we're unfortunate enough to have been associated with or affected by such types, it can be difficult for a while. I'm just trying to remember that old saying, the one about finger-pointing; ahh yes, I remember, it goes something like "When You point Your finger at somebody, remember that there are 3 fingers pointing back at YOU" Hmm, very apt!
On a more positive note, we have new treatments coming in to Waters Edge Clinic.
Shellac is known as the '2 week manicure'. This is a nail colour that is applied like polish, but lasts for 2 weeks without chipping or splitting, and maintains a high gloss.
It's 'cured' under a UV lamp to seal the colour and produce the high gloss finish.
So it's a case of apply it and forget it for 2 weeks of amazing nail colour with no maintenence. We like!
With the Christmas season fast approaching, parties and outings can be fun, but re-applying your mascara continually can clause clumping and 'lumpy' looking lashes.
CryBaby to the rescue! CryBaby is a semi-permanent mascara, that is applied on to your own lashes, coating and lengthening them. It lasts for about 3 weeks, and you can laugh, cry, swim, shower etc, with no need to worry about your mascara running! How fab is that? Great if you would like longer lashes, but don't want to have false lashes applied to get the look!
By the way girls...we will need models to practise on, so get your skates on and contact Waters Edge Clinic to volunteer!
More news coming soon!
