The final episode of BBC 1’s popular ‘The Apprentice’ saw Lord Sugar investing £250,000 with business partner Dr Leah Totton’. Dr Leah went head to head with contestant Luisa Zissman who had a proposed wholesale bakery business, in the battle to be Lord Sugar’s Apprentice for 2013.
Yet Leah’s new business venture proposal is not a new concept as in central Exeter we have the luxurious Radiance MediSpa which already provides this service and a whole lot more... with clients flocking from all over the South West.
Radiance MediSpa which opened in spring 2013 was launched by Dr Ros Debenham a qualified GP with 22 years’ experience and renowned aesthetic doctor together with daughter Katie Debenham a specialist Coolsculpting non-surgical liposuction and laser treatments.
Dr Ros Debenham, a local finalist in the Devon Venus Awards for ‘New Business of the Year’, carries out all injectable procedures in line with the recent publication by The Royal College of Surgeons that recommends only doctors, dentists and prescribing nurses should administer Botox & dermal fillers.
Alan Sugar took the risk with Dr Leah against the safe option of baking with Louisa or the cosmetic route which for him, has a moral dilemma.
Dr Ros Debenham MB ChB MRCGP Co-owner of Radiance MediSpa says - “With recent press about only professionals being the ones to administer cosmetic injectables it is interesting to see Lord Sugar poised to invest in Leah Totton's business to provide anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers and chemical peels. It is also very welcoming to hear Leah's forceful response to Lord Sugar's ethical concerns. Maybe the best evidence of an aesthetic practitioner's morals is in their refusal to do a treatment. I certainly have no reservations about advising against treatments or even refusing them. In contrast, that is what has enabled me to build my list of loyal clients over the years with many referring their friends to me. One word of advice that I would have is to make sure that the clinic you attend can offer a wide range of treatments & Cosmeceuticals (skin care products only available through practitioners). If not they will merely be dealing with the 'symptoms of ageing' & not slowing down & reversing the ageing process. 'Collagen stimulation is key' and 'ordinary facials should be forgotten'. Laser, Thermage, Chemical Peels, Dermaroller & Indiba treatments are powerful tools to keep and return that youthful yet natural look.”
The state-of-the-art centre dedicated to skin health and rejuvenation has brought ground-breaking and non-invasive skin and body treatments to the city. The 7,300 sq ft MediSpa boasts 11 impressive treatment rooms as well as a nail suite, dedicated gym for personal trainer sessions, a conference room and training area plus a high-end hairdressing salon.
