Aesthetic Consultant, Sclerotherapist, Advanced Electrolygist
A large percentage of our client base at North Wales Aesthetics Clinic is men. Successful aesthetic treatment of a man requires your aesthetic consultant to recognise the differences between men and women in anatomy, skin biology, skin ageing and rejuvenation goals. In short a man's skin tends to be thicker and muscles are stronger therefore men require a very different approach than treating women. It is important for men to remain as natural and masculine as possible. Men prefer subtle, natural looking results and want to avoid feminization. This understanding is critical in providing a successful aesthetic outcome.
With this in mind it is sensible to come to a clinic with experience in the art of male aesthetics. Karen treats men on a daily basis and she can offer a wide range of non surgical aesthetic treatments for men from wrinkle management to skin care. With the right practitioner facial treatments can be administered while retaining the masculine and rugged look. Men with age-related concerns seeking cosmetic procedures, tell us that they want to look younger, calmer, less tired and de stressed and Karen can offer just that.

Women can hide facial veins with make up but men can not, encouraging men to seek a solution. The treatment method that we use at the clinic is instant and permanent. With a down time of only a couple of days, facial vein treatments are very popular with our male clients.

Thread veins are treated by Karen a Sclerotherapist. Not many Sclerotherapists treat the underlying cause but Karen does. We know that thread veins on the surface are caused by deeper reticular or feeder veins that you can not see. Using a powerful vein light scan Karen can precisely treat various sizes of these troublesome deeper veins. It is routine at North Wales Aesthetics to treat the deeper veins prior to injecting the surface veins. This ensures a more comprehensive treatment with a goal to a permanent outcome.
