PURE Perfection Clinic added another prestigious accolade to its long list of titles at a national prizegiving.

The trailblazing business, based in Rossett near Wrexham, was named Best Clinic Midlands and Wales at the Aesthetics Awards, hosted by TV personality Vernon Kay.

Director Sara Cheeney and her seven-strong workforce were also commended for Clinic Team of the Year at the ceremony, held at London’s Grosvenor House.

Sara, an ambassador for the world-famous Hydrafacial aesthetic treatment and UK trainer and key opinion leader for Zo Skin Health, said they were “completely shocked” to receive the trophy.

“We were all stunned when they called out our name, it took us a few moments to process before we went up to collect the award!” she added.

“Pure Perfection has won several prizes over the years but none bigger than this, so we are absolutely thrilled.

“It’s testament to the hard work and dedication of all our team, who have worked tirelessly over the last year to maintain our high standards following a challenging time for the industry post-Covid.

“We ourselves have gone from strength to strength and being named best in the country reflects that, so we are privileged and thankful to the judges, and our loyal customers, for their support.”

The good news followed a period of investment at the Chester Road site, which included redevelopment of the premises, a revamped treatment room and expansion, with new faces joining in past months.

The mum-of-two, from Llangollen, has also been busy as one of the founding members of the Star Box campaign for the charity Awyr Las, a care package for patients using the Shooting Star Unit at Wrexham Maelor Hospital.

The Unit cared for her when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016 and she says the appeal is “a form of therapy”, an outlet to give back and helping others on their “cancer journey”.

Having been put into a ‘false menopause’ while undergoing treatment for the condition, she wants to help more people in that position, having seen a surge in demand for support in past years.

As NHS waiting lists for skin treatments continue to rise, Clinic Manager Marianne Burrell says they aim to meet rising demand by continuing to invest in state-of-the-art technology unavailable elsewhere in the region, including CO2 and vascular lasers.

“We will keep raising the benchmark for aesthetics in Wales and beyond, which means introducing the best machinery and training,” she said.

“The clinic has experienced an increase in the number of men visiting for a wide range of services we offer, which is fantastic to see, and there will be new health treatments for women, which will be rolled out this year.

“We have also seen a rise in acne treatments and the results have been very positive, producing lasting results for patients, while also adapting our clinical pathway to meet the holistic needs of all our customers.”

Marianne added: “There is a lot happening and Pure Perfection continues to grow; to win such a huge award gives us confidence we are moving in the right direction, and that the best is yet to come.”

The Aesthetics Awards are the most prestigious and longest-standing awards ceremony in the UK medical aesthetics industry. striving to promote best practice, safety, efficacy, and recognise the top leaders in the field.

With more than 400 entries and 950 guests attending, the evening brings together the very best in aesthetic medicine.

AN ESTEEMED surgeon has launched a new private vascular health clinic.

L&P Vascular will be based in Rossett, between Wrexham and Chester, and offer consultation and surgical procedures for people with conditions that affect the arteries, veins, and the lymphatic system, including varicose veins.

With more than 30 years’ experience in the UK and Hungarian health services, director Laszlo Papp is a well-known name in the sector having obtained the European Qualification in Vascular Surgery (FEBVS) two decades ago.

He is also one of only 12 Professors of Vascular Surgery in Europe to hold a Gold Examiner award from the FEBVS (Fellow of the European Board for Vascular Surgery) and was a visiting professor at Yale University in the US.

Laszlo said the practice will complement existing NHS services and offer people the chance to avoid lengthy waiting times given that more than 400 people in North Wales alone are on the list to be treated for varicose veins.

“Our main focus will be consultation and treatment of varicose veins, but we are also able to support people with a range of conditions affecting the arteries and lymphatic system,” he said.

“The waiting times can be quite lengthy for these issues – often several years, depending on how serious it is – but we would expect to be able to see people within a matter of weeks or months.

“There is a huge demand for this service so it’s an interesting and exceptionally busy time to begin this next chapter in my professional life.”

L&P Vascular is a private practice that will be sited at the award-winning Pure Perfection Clinic on Chester Road.

Featuring innovative medical technology and ultrasound scanning equipment, it will use a variety of procedures and methods to treat varicose veins – swollen and enlarged veins which tend to appear on the legs and feet, often twisted and bulging, causing pain and discomfort and even ulceration of the leg.

However, with research revealing more than 30% of the UK will develop varicose veins in their lifetime – and women are more likely to do so than men – people are urged to look out for other symptoms including itchy, sore skin over the veins, swollen legs, and hard tender lumps.

Laszlo revealed in the majority of cases keyhole surgery takes 40 minutes if one leg is treated to 1.5-2 hours if a more extensive treatment is needed or two legs are treated on the same occasion. The majority of patients will be able to walk in and walk out after a short period of rest and recovery.

Other services he will provide include Doppler tests for arterial disease, radiofrequency ablation treatment, and foam sclerotherapy and injection sclerotherapy of varicose veins.

“If varicose veins are causing long-term complications that could lead to a blood clot or leg ulcer. Offering our services means the patient will not have to wait as long for treatment as they would have via their local health board,” he said.

“But in most cases the issue is cosmetic or causing minor discomfort, so the wait is years rather than months.”

Laszlo added: “To be able to open the clinic in such a perfect location is a great thrill for me; we have already had a lot of interest from not only North Wales but Cheshire, Wirral and into the North West so it’s an exciting time.”

Sara Cheeney, Director of Pure Perfection Clinic, added: “We are delighted for Laszlo and for L&P Vascular to be based here, offering private clients another high-quality, much-needed medical service in this region.”
