With advances in technology and techniques, an increasing number of people are now opting for non-surgical procedures over invasive cosmetic surgery which can often carry an element of risk, as well as lengthy recovery times.

Katie Alex, a specialist nurse with more than ten years’ experience has founded the luxury private clinic: Katie Alex Aesthetics in Bowdon which offers a wide range of non-invasive treatments for clients across the country.

Her reputation for outstanding results has earned her the nickname of the ‘Cheshire Fairy Godmother’ as she is one of only a select few nationwide offering clients the Exilis Ultra-Femme 360 treatment, which deals with problems involving a woman’s intimate area, such as vaginal laxity and stress urinary incontinence.

The treatment is one that Katie calls ‘Vajuvenation’ and it can put an end to the misery suffered by thousands of women who have had to suffer in silence.

This non-surgical alternative to labiaplasty and vaginoplasty uses painless radiofrequency and the results are instant, with no downtime required.

Katie explains: ‘The Exilis Ultra-femme 360 can transform women’s intimate health. It can help with women who are dealing with vagina dysmorphia; who don’t have confidence. Whether it’s from child birth, age or stress. The way it works is through heating up the temperature to over 40°C in the target tissue. The increased blood flow plays a crucial role in tightening the target tissue.

‘I want to help eradicate the taboo surrounding these issues, proving to women that they aren’t alone and there is a simple risk-free procedure available. There is no pain involved, no recovery time; you could even have the procedure during your lunch break and return to work straight after. Stars such as Jada Pickett Smith have recently admitted to having the procedure and are delighted with their results,’

As well as this specialist treatment, Katie offers aesthetic procedures, such as injectible fillers, non invasive anti wrinkle treatments and fat reduction.

A little help losing those Christmas pounds? While many people make a New Year’s resolution to shed the pounds after the festive period, the demand for treatments that can assist in body toning is increasingly in demand. The clinic’s alternative to liposuction is a treatment called the Exilis Ultra 360™.

The way fat reduction works is through the use of radiofrequency which heats up the fatty layers. Ultrasound energy enhances the penetration of the radiofrequency into the fatty tissue causing the fat cells to release part of their volume into the extracellular space leading to fat cell death. The lymphatic system then safely eliminates these cells.

Katie’s medical knowledge and the fact that she offers her own services exclusively to her patients on a one-to-one basis means that everything is entirely professional, confidential and discreet.

With a growing number of treatments to improve skin, one recent phenomenon in the field has been Derma Fillers. Injectable Dermal Fillers are the popular non-surgical treatment of choice. Hyaluronic based fillers which are soft gels injected under the skin which effectively restore volume loss. They help with fine lines and wrinkles and are 100% safe. You can get dermal fillers that last up to 6 months or if you choose to have Juvederm’s premium filler which can last up to 12-18 months.

Prices and courses differ according to treatments. The clinic also offers bespoke packages to clients to make sure they achieve their desired results.
