Meet Clare
Clare graduated with a BSc (hons) in children’s nursing from Cardiff University in 2017 and has worked as a registered nurse ever since (give or take some travelling). She has a background in medical, critical and post-operative care, and loves being a children's nurse.
She has also dreamed of pursuing a career in aesthetics since qualifying in 2017, and has trained with reputable academies such as SkinViva Training, YouCan Clinic, Emma Coates Aesthetic Training, and with industry leaders such as Dr Uche, Jeremy Isaac and Rebecca Rogers.
Clare offers treatments from her home clinic in Llandaff North, Cardiff. Treatments include advanced anti-wrinkle treatments, advanced dermal fillers, mesotherapy, regenerative medicine, as well as in-clinic skin treatments and home care.
Values
Safety
Clare believes that a high level of safety is of paramount importance when providing aesthetic treatments. This is why she will only ever use reputable, CE marked, approved products from genuine pharmacies, keeps up to date with the latest industry techniques and research, and is committed to acting within her scope of competence at all times.
​
Care
Caring for people is of huge importance in nursing, and what Clare has learned and experienced in working in the NHS can be transferred to aesthetics too. It is important to Clare that patients feel well cared for and never rushed or pressured throughout their aesthetic journey, from initial consultation, throughout treatment, aftercare and follow up.
​
Confidence
Clare believes in using skincare and injectables to enhance your face and features, and ultimately help you feel your absolute best and increase your confidence. In depth consultations with Clare will allow you to freely discuss your goals and how they can be achieved.

Lip fillers
Mid/Lower face rejuvenation
Cheek enhancement
Lips are a very important part of the face. Common concerns people seem to have regarding their lips are size, imbalance, asymmetry, scars, skin quality, how the lips look from the side etc. So many people have been led to believe that all lip enhancements look "fake" but this couldn't be further than the truth. Beautiful, natural looking lips can be sculpted through the use of filler and this is one of the most popular treatments in aesthetics.
Chin/jaw enhancement
The lower face can experience changes due to ageing as mentioned above, however, some clients who are not yet experiencing ageing still wish for enhancement to their chin/jawline in order to improve the structure/balance of their face.
You may be unhappy with the proportions of your face from the side, or would like to either feminise or strengthen the appearance of your bone structure to either masculinise or feminise, or maybe would just like to add some definition.
Eye Treatments
As we age, the fat pads that are found in our faces can start to lose their volume and work their way downwards. This in combination with loss of volume and elasticity in the skin, can mean that lines around the nose and mouth start to form, creating a more aged appearance. Using different injection techniques, filler can be used to replace the lost volume and iron out the creases, and ultimately rejuvenate the lower face.
Anti-wrinkle treatment
Botulinum A toxin can be used to temporarily relax the muscles in the face. Dependent on treatment, this either reduces movement and therefore reduces the appearance of wrinkles, as the muscle is unable to fully move in the same motion that created the wrinkle over time. In this case it can be injected into sites around the forehead, frown lines between the eyebrows, and the "crow's feet" around the eyes. Alternatively it can be strategically placed in order to weaken certain muscles, such as the one responsible for grinding the teeth or creating a "gummy" smile.
Dermaplaning
As well as our skin and fat pads losing volume over time, our bones actually lose their volume and density too, which is something that not many people know. Using a higher viscosity filler injected more deeply, bone can be replicated, meaning that the structure and support of the cheekbones can be replaced, and help you look younger and more defined.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy involves the use of very tiny (almost pain-free) needles in order to deliver a cocktail of amazing ingredients to provide intense revitalisation, hydration, tightening and brightening effects, as well as dramatic reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Most common areas to be treated are the neck and the delicate skin just under the eyes, but can also be applied to anywhere where a bit of a boost is needed.
AlumierMD
Eye treatments are one of the most common sought after. Wrinkles, poor skin quality, dark circles, pigmentation, hollowing etc can all be helped by the various eye treatments Clare offers. It all depends on your anatomy and concerns, but topical skincare, mesotherapy, regenerative medicine, botulinum toxin and dermal filler are all amazing tools for the treatment of eye related concerns.
Dermaplaning has one main benefit which is facial exfoliation, but there is lots of benefits to it. Dead skin cells are removed from the top layer of the skin using a surgical blade (it doesn’t hurt at all) this also removes the vellus hair (peach fuzz) which leaves the skin feeling smooth and looking glowy. It can also help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and acne scarring.
A medical grade skincare routine can completely change your skin and it doesn't have to be really complicated or expensive. AlumierMD products can help a huge array of skin conditions and complaints such as ageing, hyperpigmentation, acne, rosacea, sensitive skin, enlarged pores, oily skin, dehydrated and dry skin.
​
A skin consultation with Clare will give you the time to express your skin concerns and learn about your skin. Together we can create a completely bespoke skin treatment plan which can combine advanced treatments with home care to enhance results and ultimately give you the beautiful, youthful skin you have always wanted.

Chemical Peels
Home care is always the best place to start, but chemical peels (a comfortable in-clinic exfoliation treatment) can help to support great results.
Chemical peels have a scary name but they are so much better than they sound. Think of a facial but with a bit of extra sensation to make it feel like it's really doing something to help your skin. Some people find they are a little red and flakey afterwards, but make sure you use the post-procedure kit included, and you will find the results are so worth it when that beautiful fresh, glowing skin is revealed.
