FASHION HEALTH & BEAUTY Filler to treat facial ageing The beauty DOCTOR A spring break on Spain’s sunny Mediterranean coast led to a complete change of lifestyle for Orchard Cosmetic’s owner Dr. Maire Rhatigan. Dr. Rhatigan moved to Spain with her family last September, but comes back to the Island each month to continue her cosmetic work at Orchard Cosmetic and finds the new arrangement provides a perfect balance for family life and work. She said: “The clinic continues to be very busy with the most popular treatments being fillers which are wonderful for treating ageing around the mouth area and IPL hair removal provided by our IPL specialist Krista. “Our IPL system has been proven over many years to give impressive clearance of unwanted body and facial hair and combined with Krista’s experience in the art of IPL treatment our patients love the results.” Dr. Rhatigan explained her change in lifestyle by saying: “I moved with my family to a Spanish town on the shores CONTACT US: of the beautiful Mar Menor. Without any fixed prior notion of moving abroad, we went on a two week holiday to Spain last spring to a place which had been recommended to my husband by a work colleague as a good water sports location. “We love everything to do with the sea and found this holiday destination to be perfect for us with lots to do in the warm waters of the Mar Menor.” She continued: “Our two children aged nine and 11 are happy in the International school where they have made new English and Spanish friends and they are quickly picking up Spanish. Though we are all missing our friends on the Island, Spain is so close to the UK that we can fly back in just over a couple of hours and our friends also come to see us which is wonderful.” Email Máire at: [email protected] Tel: 01983 898058 BEFORE AFTER Mole removal BEFORE AFTER BEFORE AFTER www.visitislandlife.com 97
