ShapeCYMRU has moved to fabulous new premises at the LAZY FROG FLOTATION CENTRE, 1 Uplands Terrace, Swansea.
This decision has enabled me to integrate all of our body contouring treatments with the holistic therapies already well established at this incredibly innovative centre. The Lazy Frog is the only flotation centre in Wales, and I’m very excited to be involved in extending the range of treatments offered.
I hope many of my patients will experience flotation therapy (it’s powerfully relaxing) and also take up my recommendation to combine Velashape with infrared sauna treatments.
More soon……

I had a fantastic trip to Perthshire, Scotland last week to present a masterclass on Velashape and Refirme.
Syneron, the manufacturers of Velashape, had invited me up to present to a group of 25 doctors and beauticians, all of whom were keen to learn about the possibilities of Velashape in their cosmetic practices. I have a very good working relationship with Syneron, having been the only UK cosmetic doctor present at the Harley Street launch of Velashape.
I was able to provide a thorough demonstration of my technique for tightening tummies, reducing cellulite and sculpturing buttocks.
The event, held at the lovely Knock Castle Spa, was a great success.

I’ve been developing Velashape and Refirme for body contouring over the last 9 months.
Velashape was initially developed for the treatment of cellulite - and it’s absolutely fabulous for that.
But this technology has really come into its own as a tool for body contouring.
It became obvious within a short space of time that the dramatic skin tightening effects of Velashape could be used to reshape more than just legs and buttocks. I’ve had incredible results with mummy tummy - the post pregnancy sagging that never seems to shift despite weight loss and excercise.
I’ve also seen great results on muffin tops, lower back fat pads and upper arms.
Refirme - another ELOS device - is proving itself equally effective for jowls, cheeks, eyes and upper lips.
I’d recommend watching the videos on this page - http://www.syneron.com/land/anthony_davis_refirme_treatment.html
The first video, Anthony Davis, is not too informative, but the rest of the videos give a pretty good idea of how Refirme works, how treatments are conducted and what sort of results we get.
The doctors in the US wear goggles (as do the patients) to comply with local legislation, but this is unnecessary as the IR light is low energy, and safe, so we don’t do that here.
Note the US costs !! $3000 for a course - I offer sessions at £100, a fraction of the price.
As ever, my policy at ShapeCYMRU is to protect privacy and dignity by not publishing clinical photographs, so the results photos you see are from other clinics, but reflect my own; also, my own approach to body contouring and reshaping is not done anywhere else I’m aware of in the UK. Most salons are beautician run and don’t use clinical expertise - and some artistry - to use these amazing tools to their fullest potential.

Harper’s Bazaar beauty editor, Newby Hands, describes her experience of Velashape in the July 1st issue:
“It’s quick, relatively pain-free (it gets a bit hot) and takes just six weekly sessions to make any bottom, stomach, thighs or arms beachworthy; it’s the only treatment course that impressed me.”
We agree!
Velashape is exclusively availabe in Wales at our Swansea city-centre clinic.

I’d be very interested to receive comments on what the women of Wales have done so far to treat their cellulite.
My cosmetic and cellulite clinic is the only one in Wales to offer Velashape, an inceredible new treatment for cellulite and FDA approved for inch-loss.
I’ve been astonished by the results we’ve seen in the first six months of treatments.
Check out the RESULTS tab on this website - I’m surely you’ll be equally impressed. We’re currently exclusively offering Velashape at less than HALF London prices.
Have you heard of Velashape? What have your results been like with other treatments - Endermologie, Mesotherapy etc.?
Let me know, and browse my info and the links on Velashape - it really seems to have cracked the cellulite scourge for the ladies we’ve treated.

Evolence, a fanulous collagen product that I’ve used extensively for facial volumisation has now been approved for use in lip augmentation.
The technique is exactly the same as the one we’ve used for some time for Restylane, so confident treatment is assured.
After a recent masterclass with Dr Bob Khanna, President of the IAAFA, of which I am a member, I was keen to start working with Evolence Breeze on lips.
There’s virtually no swelling or bruising with Evolence Breeze, the results are longer lasting and the effects instantaneous. It’s a beautiful, flexible and resilient product with which to contour lips, cheeks, noses and jawlines.
Results with patients so far treated are fabulous.
Dr Marina Landau has written a very informative article on the details of Evolence Breeze as a lip enhancer.
The Evolence web site has some very impressive before and after pictures.
If you’ve heard bad things about lips, come and discuss this new treatment, which really is state of the art and solves problems with older treatments.
I’m proud to be using the latest products and techniques - Velashape, Refirme and Evolence.
But the old faithfuls never let me down - botox and skin peels will remain firm favourites for a long, long time.

I was asked today by a headhunter to move to SA1; I declined.
For starters, we’re already in SA1.
Secondly, I’m always cautious of hype, preferring to work with the tried and tested. In the cosmetic world, there’s always a lot of hype around, but I believe that at ShapeCYMRU, we’re using the best techniques and products, some of which are new, like our cellulite technology Velashape, and facial tightener Refirme, but most of which are safe and established.
Which brings me to my final reason……
Paul Jackson and Chris Berry are well and truly established. They run a fabulous salon, have a devoted clientele, and their staff provide phenomenal, personalised, attentive care.
And, they’re in SA1.

Dr Steve Bassett & Dr Tess Mauricio
I was honoured to be the only cosmetic physician from the UK invited to the launch of Velashape.
The prestigious event, at the Private Clinic, 98 Harley Street, was attended by top journalists from Hello, OK, Grazia, Glamour, Top Sante, Weight Watchers and many others.
Velashape was introduced by Dr Tess Mauricio from San Diego, an internationally renowned expert on skin rejuvenation and cellulite, and TV cosmetic doctor. BTW, Tess’s website has great Velashape and Refirme results photographs.
The audience was hugely impressed by the elos technology in Velashape - safe, fast, effective and affordable.
It was a great opportunity for me to discuss with Tess the superiority of elos over LASER and IPL, and to compare results.
We’re in regular touch by e-mail and excited about bringing this great, safe and straightforward technology to our respective salons.
