Sharon King

Martyn and Sharon are both really pleased to have obtained their Postgraduate Diplomas in Aesthetic Medicine.

Both already having over 15 years experience in Aesthetic Medicine and investing thousands of pounds and hundreds of hours in further post graduate training and education to further improve the safety and effectiveness of the treatments and the care that they offer to their patients. This includes Sharon’s additional nurse prescribing qualification, their post graduate certificates in non surgical aesthetic practice, post graduate diplomas in non surgical aesthetic practice and study towards their Masters Degree. We also invest in training and education for all of our clinic staff.

What an amazing 2 days at the Burgenstock resort in Switzerland for the SkinCeuticals Master Physician program. A great agenda with some excellent speakers and good to catch up with friends and colleagues. Such a great company with excellent, advanced skin care products backed by science.

It was great to have our own Real Housewife of Chesire, Tanya Bardsley, visit Cosmedic Skin Clinic yesterday for treatment. She is such a nice person in ‘real’ life, looking forward to seeing her again at our clinic.

What a fantastic evening last night on board Lady A, Lord Sugar’s super yacht. He was such good company and so glad to have the opportunity to spend so much time talking to him! The yacht, the crew were all amazing and good to see Leah Totton , Emma Rothery and Roy Cowley (Thanks for the lift home in the Rolls!!!).

An evening of canapes, champagne, a tour of the yacht and best of all, the company of Lord Sugar, he is such an inspiring man, down to earth and really made us feel welcome. Thank you so much for the invite and hope he liked the chocolates!!

Martyn and Sharon attracting a huge crowd last year at the Aesthetics Conference and Exhibition.

Looking forward to this year and seeing so many of our friends and colleagues within the industry.

Here’s our latest article published in Aesthetics and a few take home points:

For patients:

(1) Check that your practitioner is actually who they say they are, you can check this out by looking on the General Medical Council (GMC), General Dental Council (GDC) or Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) websites (for nurses, you should ask them for their PIN number to check registration). There are lots of practitioners outing there who are masquerading as something they are not – this is illegal and should be reported to the Police who will take this very seriously! There are even a few who may have once been a registered practitioner but no longer hold a license to practice.

(2) There is no such thing as a Cosmetic Surgeon, it’s an unrecognised title by the GMC, if a doctor is proclaiming to be one, look them up on the GMC register to see if they do have any surgical experience and if so, in what specialism.

For practitioners:

(1) If you attend a training event, do not assume you will automatically receive a certificate of competence, this must be demonstrated at an appropriate safe level.

(2) Before believing everything that is said by a practitioner, why not check out how much they are being paid for saying it, this information can be found on the ABPI website.

(3) Just because you are very active on social media does not make you a KOL, if you buy lots of product from a particular company, you may be a Key Account but not a KOL. If you have to ask a company to be their KOL, you probably don’t deserve to be one!

Featured Practitioners, Dr Martyn King & Sharon King RN NIP “IN FOCUS” in the Aesthetics Journal.Aesthetics-Sept-2017-InProfile

AML 2017 was once again a fantastic conference, well done to Vicky Eldridge for putting it all together. Sharon and I had a great time, fantastic seeing good friends and colleagues, very well organised, some very impressive speakers and great for networking with such a friendly atmosphere. Sharon and I chaired an excellent session but hats off to Constance Campion and Emma Davies for their courtroom scene reenactment. These legal people really do make us sit up and think, justify every action we do and always act with honesty, integrity and professionalism. I look forward to next year at AML!!!

IMCAS, Paris, January 2017

Sharon and I have been attending this conference for the last few years in Paris. Some interesting lectures and good to see what new products, techniques and treatments are available throughout Europe. I think the highlight for Sharon was the Louis Vuitton shop on Champs-Élysées‎. Once again, thanks to Schuco for making this possible!

Aesthetic Medicine Live 2016: Even better than last year – great programme, great speakers, great venue, great exhibitors and a fantastic night out on the Saturday. It was really good to catch up with so many friends and colleagues, the conference had such a great vibe and we even ended up buying a couple of new devices for our clinic. Cosmedic Pharmacy was also very busy and attracted many new customers so a special thank you to Kelly and Nikita. Sharon and I Chaired the session on Volumisation and there was some excellent speakers and presentations and some good debate. Looking forward to next year…

Looking forward to Aesthetic Medicine Live 2016

Will be great to catch up with friends and colleagues, see all the latest treatments and technologies, listen to some great speakers and especially looking forward to the Jazz evening.

IMCAS World Congress 2016, some great lectures, some excellent speakers, really good to catch up with friends and colleagues and some fantastic hospitality.

I believe this is the finest work produced by the Aesthetic Complications Expert Group. The management of nodules, lumps, granulomas or biofilms as a result of injectable treatments is problematic and there is very little information on how to deal with them and such varied opinions! Finally, the ACE Group have taken all the best evidence and advice and formulated into a simple spreadsheet for all practitioners. Feel free to email me (martyn@cosmedic-clinic.co.uk) if you wish to receive the PDF document.

Martyn & Sharon are both excited about the new SkinCeuticals product launch, Metacell Renewal B3, ideal “prejuvenation” for the younger patient. Wine and nibbles and a catch up with fellow skin care experts. Metacell Renewal B3 contains 5% niacinamide and is a comprehensive daily moisturiser that improves the skin’s natural barrier, increases cell turnover, reduces discolouration and redness and hydrates without feeling tacky.

Dr Martyn King presented slides on the management of complications and then chaired a questions and answers panel debate. Extremely well received and some very good questions from the floor, it is obvious that there is a role for the Aesthetic Complications Expert Group and that peer-reviewed, evidence based guidelines are essential in what is essentially a very poorly regulated industry.

Panel included Sharon King, Stephen Bassett, Patrick Treacey, Helena Collier and Mandy Luckman.

A very nice and very appreciated tweet from Dr Leah Totton!

Lip Augmentation: an art and a science, Sharon King

Sharon King has published an article on lip augmentation, a well researched and written journal article that has been cited in several other pieces of work since. It details the golden ratios that should be adhered to when considering lip augmentation as well as detailed anatomy and physiology and treatment techniques.

 Aesthetic Conference & Expo 2013

Sharon King is possibly the most experienced and highly regarded injectors of Ellanse in the UK and is a leading trainer for the company, she regularly conducts training sessions for doctors, dentists and nurses either independently or on behalf of the company.

The workshop focused largely on mid-face rejuvenation and included some advanced techniques including lateral brow lift, temporal hollows and vectors.

Ellanse is a unique and innovative dermal filler that offers immediate wrinkle correction as well as stimulating the body’s own collagen production. Ellanse has long lasting effects and a natural look that you will love!

Sharon King produces the next set of guidelines for the Aesthetic Complications Expert Group on the management of sharps and splash injuries. The importance of safe practice, correct training, remaining up to date, suitable premises, correct policies in place, vaccinations and reporting were all well received.

Unfortunately no awards to carry home this year, although very honoured to be Finalists for Aesthetic Doctor of the Year and Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner of the Year. Anyway, a great night out and very nice to catch up with all of our friends in the industry, seen here with our good friend Dr Sam Robson.

“All things bright ‘n’ beautiful”

The BACN annual conference was a big success and it was great catching up with everyone. Sharon did a lovely demonstration using Ellanse showing a full face rejuvenation and had wonderful feedback from her peers.
