Enhance your winter wellness at Enhance Aesthetics & Wellness
In Royal William Yard by Juliet Coombe
Charlotte Thomson the glamorous founder of Enhance Aesthetics and Wellness, tells us that after a short spell in the navy, when she lived in Essex and made an exciting and highly rewarding career move, “I did facial aesthetics in a dentist practice and subsequently opened a practice at home. I believe patient safety is key. However, I felt it was better to be in a stunning premises as the voodoo of the location is key ingredients in wellness. For Charlotte the only place in Plymouth that she felt would be appropriate is the fabulous Royal William Yard, but it took over a year to negotiate the lease and the concept.” The majestic Royal William Yard is a very apt wellness centre due to its grandness of setting, the perfect place to restore your body confidence and love of life.
Charlotte who just loves the whole lifestyle of the yard, offers to tell me more over some tea and delicious carrot cake while her kids go paddle boarding only minutes from her wellness centre and as they head off to Drakes Island she explains, “So, the new aim was to ensure the feel good factor first; our vision was that whatever treatment you go in for, you feel better afterwards and become a life long friend of Enhance – we believe in living life to the full and having a joie de vivre in everything you do.”
If Adonis and Aphrodite are your inspirations, then head to the yard and move into the Aesthetics Treatments zone, where expert GMC or GDC Registered aesthetics practitioners will take time getting to know you during the consultation process. Wrinkle relaxing injections, dermal fillers or medical grade skin care interventions are all options here. The key to any treatment is to enhance your natural beauty, hence the name of the clinic. The best enhancements are those that no one but you, notices.
Charlotte reassures me about the fine sensitivities shown to clients, “Aesthetics is such a holistic process and we do not charge for consultations as we want you to really think about your treatment options and feel it is the right decision. Knowing that the consultation is free, enables people to talk openly about their concerns and that is important in determining what we do or don’t do.”
Many say that beauty is only skin deep, but why not be both as beautiful as you can be and work on your personality, too, by treating yourself with kindness and a lovely manicure and pedicure or deeply relaxing massage. What better way to start than with some bubbles and then a massage in lovely healing oils, and if you thought that you might not enjoy certain parts of your body being massaged or want some parts to get extra attention, then there are no less than eight options to choose from – well, seven if you’re not pregnant. There are few better ways to treat yourself and send your mind into other holistic stress releasing realms, where there are no deadlines, repetitive strains, timestamps, text messages requiring instant responses, beckoning screen cursors, calls on your time, spams, scams and any other such distractions to your inner peace.
When you walk into the place there is a feeling of serenity, calm and comfort with flowered wall that makes you feel at one with nature and leave the concrete urban world behind. Being hidden inside the Royal Willam Yard walls you feel like you are enclosed in a nest of relaxation and with staff who are deeply passionate about wellbeing, “We wanted to keep it Devon focused and so we chose Lola’s Apothecary; I wanted people to take a bit of Devon back with them from their stay in the yard and holiday in beautiful Plymouth. Queen of Roses bath and Divine Grace are 100 per cent natural. Vegan family friendly fragrances can be bought after treatments. Oils for baths are about £40, the body polish is £32 and the souffle is a wonderful way to truly indulge your day, so you can take away the essence you like using. “Our emphasis is on Alumier, our amazing skin care product. I want after all with my my amazing team to be unique and boutique to Plymouth.” The smells alone make these excellent gifts and with Christmas coming up nothing could be lovelier than a gift to spend a few hours at Enhance.
So passionate are those at Enhance that they have devised a whole new lexicon, in addition to the now regular sounding treatments like exfoliation, waxing and tinting, including wonderfully named treatments ranging from Dermal Fillers, through Calicum Stem Cell Therapy to Skin Peels, all fastidiously administered to minimise discomfort and encourage your inner confidence. There’s regeneration and volumisation, stem cells sending ‘youth messages’ into the skin or scalp, gold-plated micro needling, hyper customised chemical peels, dermaplanes, fine vellus hair treatments, brightening complexes with powerful peptides and kojic acid, WOW Fusion Microneedling, and bespoke skin cocktails on offer.
Don’t delay, join this glamorous and body beautiful vision to propel yourself into a new enhanced future and an image that suits you the vibrant and truly happy you.
