to the March edition of Cornwall Living!

t feels as if the county is awakening from its winter slumber, with renewed life and vigour all about at the moment. and we’re all looking ahead to an exciting spring.

Businesses around the Duchy are renovating and redecorating ready to welcome visitors with open arms and here at Cornwall Living, we’ve been busy rounding up some of our favourite places to visit as Dan Warden reports (from page 22) in his whistlestop tour of coast and country. It can sometimes be hard to choose from the plethora of holiday accommodation on offer, so we’ve done the leg work for you on that front too with a selection of our favourites in each area.

Now is also the time of year when brides-to-be are looking to make those all-important decisions and bookings for the big day. When it comes to tying the knot, we want everything to be just perfect for you so turn to page 57 for some inspiration when it comes to saying “I do” and make your Cornish wedding one to remember forever.

We’ve been busy over on our social channels this month so be sure to follow us for all the latest goings on – details of all our online activity can be found on page 26 – and if you are sharing something exciting from across Cornwall, give us a tag!

Spring is on its way!

A Platinum Jubilee celebration at

Hotel Meudon

Nestled in magical, subtropical gardens, a stone’s throw from the privately-owned beach, the newly refurbished Hotel Meudon is a touch of secluded, Cornish paradise. In a sub-tropical utopia with a specific microclimate allowing growth of a stunning array of giant flora, what could be a better setting for a magical weekend away with a loved one? At Hotel Meudon the incredible nine acres of exotic valley gardens, coupled with a beautiful hotel that dates back to the 1800s, offers an escape like no other, and the first-class service will have you returning time after time.

Believe it or not, it will be 70 years exactly since HRH Queen Elizabeth II took to the

throne this summer, and Hotel Meudon will be celebrating the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend in style from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th June. In honour of this regal occasion, join Hotel Meudon for a three-night stay and enjoy a glass of celebratory bubbly on arrival, dinner on two of the three nights, and a decadent afternoon tea for a feeling of royalty all your own. Don’t forget to join the garden party in the stunning subtropical grounds to say a big ‘Congratulations Ma’am!’

For more information contact reservations@meudon.co.uk or visit www.meudon.co.uk

At this time of year, most of us are eager for winter to end and for spring to arrive.

Records suggest that springs are occurring about 11 days earlier than they did a century ago, but the promise of increasingly warm and bright days ahead seems a way off following the recent cold snap.

You may have provided a bit of extra food for the winged garden visitors and mother nature seems to have the borders sussed, giving you an even more colourful garden this spring, but where does this leave the hardscape elements of the garden? Well, if your fence was struggling to stand against the accompanying icy winds, then you could consider an alternative that is tougher than traditional wooden fencing such as ColourFence. This metal fencing needs very little aftercare and can stand up to 130mph gusts, leaving you with more free time.

way to wed

Open all hours at Cornwall Hospice Care

When it comes to getting married in Cornwall, we all have a favourite location that springs to mind that would make the ultimate locale for a wedding. But have you paid any thought to what a wedding there would look like? Wild Tipi’s Giant Hat Tipis can be put up virtually anywhere and configured to your needs, and if you’re trying to envisage what a Wild Tipi wedding might look like in your dream location, just check out the image here!

Business owners Sam and Tim Moore, who are excited for the season ahead, have taken delight in offering heart-broken couples the chance to make up for plans that were spoiled during the pandemic, capitalising on stunning locations across the county with their incredible Giant Hat tipis. If this sounds like you, why not give them a call and discuss plans for your big day?

For more information contact sam@wildtipi.co.uk or visit www.wildtipi.co.uk

The generosity of Cornwall’s community means the county’s biggest healthcare charity operates 24/7, taking in patients day and night. To illustrate the ‘always open’ approach, Cornwall Hospice Care has revealed people benefitted from their care and advice over the 10-day Christmas and New Year period. They included patients at Mount Edgcumbe and St Julia’s Hospices, those requiring urgent Lymphoedema treatment and some who were helped by the community team.

“We’re proud to be a 24/7 charity, and this proves the value of our services with our doctors and nurses extremely busy at both hospices,” explains Clinical Director Gina Starnes. “Sadly, terminal illness doesn’t respect holidays.”

The Cornish charity also supports people living with Lymphoedema and during the ten days Chris Jones, Lymphoedema Specialist who’s based at St Julia’s Hospice in Hayle, supported patients seeking advice by phone and in person. “I often find that reviewing patients over the phone can work, but there are some who

don’t like to bother healthcare professionals and so underplay their situation. It’s a relief to them that we can offer to see them and provide instant support.”

“Ours is a team effort” says Specialist Nursing Lead Ally Hardman. “Doctors, nurses, housekeepers, kitchen staff and our amazing volunteers ensure we continue to provide excellent end-of-life care to patients and their families at all times. It’s also thanks to the people of Cornwall who support our charity, helping us to raise the vital funds we need to keep our hospices open seven days a week.”

A real taste of Cornwall For lovers of rum and the ocean alike, a fitting description for many Cornish folk, there’s one name making a big splash on the local spirit scene; Mounts Bay Distillery. This small, family-run distillery overlooking ount’s ay has Cornish salt flowing through its veins, and owners Ben Roberts and Lisa Anglesjö harbour a passion for Cornwall that seeps into the flavour of their rum, aptly named after the Cornish word for ocean, Keynvor.

CL119--PCV22--COMPOSITE--News & Views.indd 12

This Cornish spiced honey rum is blended with seaweeds harvested from the low tide shores by Ben and Lisa, of which the umami tones balance perfectly with the sweet notes of the honey and saffron from the cliffs and coves of Cornwall. Imprinted with a beautiful design by Jago Illustration, Keynvor is certainly one to be sampled by any rum lover, Cornish or not.

RIGHT Dune House, Forever Cornwall

INSET To the Shore, Forever Cornwall

BELOW Jackdaws, Cornish Horizons

Penwith peninsula We’ll start out in the furthest reaches of Penwith. Land’s End was formed around 270 million years ago, the peninsula being one of four roughly circular granite domes that, according to the website, form the backbone of Cornwall. The coastline is rugged, spectacular and full of intrigue. The notoriously wild nature of the seas here makes for some superb wave watching, with reefs and islets jutting out of the ocean. These include Carn Bras – the base for the iconic Longships Lighthouse, itself a sign post for the dangers that await mariners along this fickle stretch of coastline. Another reminder is the wreckage of RMS Mülheim, a German cargo ship that ran aground on its way from Ireland to Germany. Visible on the shoreline between Land’s End and Sennen, the wreckage adds drama to an already beautiful and fascinating walk between the two.

The peninsula is also something of a wildlife haven, and along the fringes of the coast here you may be lucky enough to spot gannets, fulmars, kittiwakes, shags, razorbills, and even the elusive Cornish chough – once extinct in the county but now making a welcome return. And for lovers of not just wildlife, but of the landscape too, then Cot Valley – just north of Sennen – is a must-visit. One of west Cornwall’s beautifully lush, sub-tropical valleys, it runs west-northwest to the coast, passing about one mile south of the town of St Just. Meeting the sea at Porth Nanven Cove, with the unmistakable Brisons Rocks lying a mile off shore, it’s a lovely place to stop for a picnic, or from which to start a walk, if you’re staying nearby.

The Heritage Coast ur next stop is the famed surfing beach of Gwithian. Loved by surfers nationwide for its waves, and by bucket-and-spade beach-goers for its fine golden sand, withian is at the heart of a miles-long stretch of beach from Hayle rivermouth, all the way to Godrevy.

It sits on the opposite side of St Ives Bay to St Ives, which makes the views all the more special – as does the iconic Godrevy Lighthouse which sits to the right of the spectacular panorama. Kids and adults alike will love learning to surf with one of the local schools, while those who prefer to find their own piece of sunny real estate for the day will find plenty of sandy spots that tick the box of even the fussiest sun-seeker.

Continue north and you will eventually come to Newquay, another surfer’s paradise and one of the Duchy’s most loved seaside resorts. Blending surf culture and a bustling night life, with exceptional Cornish food and stunning coastal walks to boot, it’s no surprise that Newquay continues to draw visitors back time and time again. The same can be said for awgan orth, five miles up the coast, however the pace of life here is perhaps a touch slower. The perfect location for a peaceful, relaxing Cornish holiday, Mawgan Porth lies mid-way between Newquay and Padstow, with a beautiful west-facing beach, incredible scenery, more superb surfing and, with the South West Coast Path right there, exceptional opportunities for walkers. There’s also great food available from the local pubs, restaurants and takeaways.

EXPERIENCE

Seven bays for seven days An exploration of Cornwall’s must-visit destinations would not be complete without a trip to the famed ‘Seven Bays for Seven Days’.

Comprising Porthcothan Bay, Treyarnon Bay, Constantine Bay, Booby’s Bay, Mother Ivey’s, Harlyn Bay and Trevone Bay, these seven sites centre around the small village of St Merryn.

As the popularised name for them suggests, there is a bay for every day of the week, each as unique as the last. Between them, they offer great surf (and surf schools), soft sand, folklore, sheltered waters and sea pools for swimmers, plus rock pooling, wildlife watching, and even, in Porthcothan’s case, fame as a location for BBC series Poldark.

Just around the corner from Trevone is the fishing port of adstow, Cornwall’s foodie capital and one of the most popular culinary destinations in the UK. With a raft of celebrity names opening restaurants here, including Paul Ainsworth and, of course, Rick Stein, there are also some incredible independent eateries to be discovered.

Not only that, those who fancy it can embark on a seafaring adventure, be that on a safari to spot the

Polzeath and Daymer Bay Cross the Camel Estuary from Padstow and continue north along the coastline, and eventually you’ll come to Daymer Bay, and Polzeath soon after. Daymer Bay is the perfect spot for sun-bathers and calm-water swimmers, with plenty of shallow, tap-clear water in which to swim, splash and play with friends and family. At high-tide, space on the sand can be limited, but time it right and you’ll find there’s plenty of room to move with the water dropping surprisingly far to reveal a large expanse of beach. There’s also a café set just back from the sand with plenty of parking to boot. Alternatively, if you’re hoping to hit the waves, Polzeath is a renowned surfer’s beach, with a great beach to match. The village itself has plenty of amenities right next to the sand, including a shop, restaurants, and even a gallery for art enthusiasts seeking respite from the heat of the sun.

Nearing the county line As we explore Cornwall’s north-most beaches and approach the border with our neighbours in Devon, there’s still lots to explore and enjoy.

We’ll start in Crackington Haven, seven miles south-southwest of Bude. Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this small village’s harbour once imported coal and limestone from Wales. Fortunately for us, it narrowly escaped industrial development in the 1800s, and is now one of Cornwall’s most unspoiled coves. In the spring, you can see wildflowers beginning their annual display of colour, with birdsong forming a backdrop for a sensational, sensory experience. It’s also a great spot for surfing in the right conditions, with lifeguards in the summer months. When it’s calm, the sheltered cove is great for a sea-swim. For history buffs, the area is replete with historic sites, buildings and tales of shipwrecks – just ask the locals! p the coast to ude and you’ll find much more of the same. Fortunately for us, Elite West Holidays know exactly how to make the most of your time around Bude and Widemouth Bay, with recommended activities including rock pooling at low tide and discovering the myriad species that make a home along the Atlantic waterline surfing, both on ude’s own beaches and Widemouth Bay (with help for beginners available through a local surf school); and for those who want to get out on the water but avoid the swell, the chance to hire a stand-up paddleboard and explore at leisure. There’s

plenty more to do, including a dip in the iconic Bude Sea Pool, or taking just a short drive to the Upper and Lower Tamar Lakes – havens for walkers, runners, sailors, wildlife watchers and anglers alike. History also abounds here, including The Castle (thecastlebude.co.uk), one of ude’s finest, and oldest, buildings.

Grade II listed, it was built in 1830 and houses a Heritage Centre, where you can discover Bude’s inventive genius, Sir Goldsworthy Gurney, as well as the area’s unique geology, a wonderful collection of Bude railway nostalgia, interactive models, plus tales from the area’s military and maritime past.

The south coast Our whistle-stop tour continues after a hop from north to south, starting at Falmouth, where we find plenty of reasons to make this your holiday HQ. First, its proximity to the ocean ticks a big box for many. Second, is that the town itself is home to a fantastic array of boutique retailers, trendy bars, cafés and restaurants, and a selection of independent galleries. The wider coastline is perfect for walkers, while the nearby Carrick Roads provide the ultimate sailing sanctuary for those looking to weigh anchor during their stay. There’s also plenty of history to be uncovered here, particularly behind sister castles Pendennis and St Mawes; built by King Henry VIII on either side of the entry to the Carrick Roads, these Tudor castles were key to the monarch’s defensive strategy against the threat of invasion from 16th century Catholic Europe.

Further south still is the Helford river, a paradise for leisure cruisers, sailors, swimmers and paddleboarders alike. It’s also a wildlife haven, with protections in place to champion the population growth of myriad marine species. Hop aboard a kayak, paddleboard or a private charter and head up-stream, and you find plenty of secret creeks and inlets that you could spend an entire holiday exploring. Alternatively, venture out of the river mouth (best done with a guide who knows the waters!) and have a go at fishing for your supper. The elford

revoyan Barn is a large stone barn conversion, with extensive grounds of circa 2.5 acres in a highly enviable location. It is set just to the south of Padstow and located between two of north Cornwall’s most coveted beaches – Porthcothan Bay and Treyarnon Bay. The views from the garden towards nearby Treyarnon Bay are delightful, and the surrounding countryside adds greatly to its appeal. The barn is partially converted offering huge potential for further accommodation or development. In addition there is planning permission for the creation of a separate detached four-bedroom holiday residence within the grounds.

The upper floor of the barn hosts a spacious living room with French doors leading you out onto a roof terrace. This room features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and exposed stone walls creating wonderful rustic charm. There are currently two bedrooms and a family bathroom on this floor with a selfcontained apartment set out on the ground floor, along with a utility and a separate family room. A large proportion of this floor remains undeveloped and therefore could offer a great deal more accommodation.

The grounds offer many vantage points from which to enjoy the delightful views. With two fabulous beaches just moments away, and Trevose Golf Club at nearby Constantine Bay, not to mention the convenience of Newquay Airport, Trevoyan Barn offers a very rare opportunity and is just waiting to be enjoyed.

OF SLEEP

Find your way to health, happiness and a restful night with help from the team at Christie’s Bed Shop.

A

t the end of a busy day, when the hustle and bustle of life has calmed and we step in through our front door in the evening, there is one thing we can always count on for calm, comfort and rest – our bed. However, many of us are sleeping on a mattress that might not be quite right for us, has passed its best, or isn’t giving us the support we need to get the most out of our sleep. With March marking National Bed Month, we thought it only too appropriate to take a look at exactly what we should be looking at when it comes to the perfect bed, with help from the Christie’s Bed Shop.

We spend around a third of our lives in bed, so if you’re having difficulty sleeping one of the first things to look at is your bed. What you sleep on plays a huge part in how well you doze. A comfortable, supportive bed can make the difference between a restorative night’s sleep and poor-quality sleep that results in tiredness and fatigue, with research showing that sleeping on an uncomfortable bed could rob you of up to an hour’s sleep. A recent

statistic from The Sleep Charity suggests that 40% of adults and children suffer with sleep issues, and much of this could very well be down to our beds and mattresses.

While you could be doing all the right things when it comes to sleep – eating the right foods, exercising regularly, switching off gadgets before bedtime, winding down properly and sleeping in cool, quiet and dark bedroom – if you’re sleeping on an old, unsupportive and unhealthy bed you still won’t get a refreshing night’s sleep. Your bed is by far the most significant element of a good night’s rest. It is near impossible to get a deep, effective sleep on an old, uncomfortable bed. Mattresses lacking comfort, space and support are likely to leave you waking tired and achy and will also have a significant impact on your partner’s sleep, too. Quite often a mattress has worn out long before you realise. That’s why the National Bed Federation recommends replacing your mattress every 7-8 years, after which a mattress has been subjected to over 20,000 hours of wear and tear!

Investing in something that you’ll essentially be spending a third of your time using has never been more important, and your mental and physical wellbeing could certainly be improved with the right choice. The team at Christie’s Bed Shop are primed and ready with a wealth of knowledge and advice when it comes to beds and mattresses, and are on hand in their expansive Penryn showroom to help you find the perfect match for your individual needs. While buying online can be convenient and may be the only option for some, the surest way to find the mattress that works best for you is to try it out for yourself by popping off your shoes and getting comfy.

The National Bed Federation suggests that you lie on a mattress for as long as ten minutes to get a feel for the level of comfort and support, and certainly try more than one.

From pocket-sprung and orthopaedic to memory and gel foam mattresses, you’ll be spoilt for choice at Christie’s, and with an incredible range of bedsteads to accompany them you’re sure to find your ideal match, with prices to accommodate any budget. A good way to check if the bed you are lying on is too soft, too hard, or just right is to lie on your back, and slide your hand in the hollow of your back. If it slides in too easily, the bed may be too hard for you (leading to pressure on your hips and shoulders); if it’s a struggle to slide your hand in, then the bed is probably too soft. If you can move your hand with just a little resistance, the bed may be just right for you.

There will never be a better time to shop for the perfect comfy new bed than throughout March's National Bed Month at the Christies Bed Shop, as all beds and mattresses have up to 50% off; you might just find yourself upgrading to a mattress you may not have considered at full price!

Whether you’re looking to re-gain control over sleepless nights, or improve on waking up with aches and pains on an old mattress, the team at Christie’s are on hand to help and personally guide you through their extensive range towards your perfect match.

Stay ahead of the game this year with Kitchen Kit’s insight into luxury kitchen trends, sure to make the heart of your home stand out in 2022.

T

he first tip from the itchen it team, is to let there be light! itchens of old were known for their stark, almost industrial lighting. While it’s good to be able to see what you’re cooking, as the modern kitchen has morphed into a sociable space rather than just a food prep area, so the trend in lighting has become more subtle. If you think about it, a kitchen is likely to be the most expensive room in the house and such deserves lighting that ticks both the function and aesthetic boxes. f course, task lighting is essential but this can be mixed with statement pendants, wall lights or recessed strips. immable and colour changing lights will also be fashionable for . ight is important, so is colour, and this year it’s time to be brave! one are the days when kitchens were either white or wood.

Today’s incredible ranges of colour and finish that are available offer a kaleidoscope of choice. eep colours are very on-trend at the moment think hues of deep blues or greens. It may seem like a daring choice but going bold with colour will really make a statement. We are also loving a two effect, whether that be a mix of colours or white with wood for a mid-century modern look.

The next tip is that it’s all about integration. When it comes to appliances, while they are the necessary beating heart of the kitchen, we don’t always want to have them on display. y selecting integrated

appliances, you won’t detract from the design of your kitchen, as all the work horses will be hidden behind doors. This year will also see the rise in popularity of smart appliances which connect to your smartphone via luetooth.

Choose from clever coffee machines, ovens with cameras or even fridges with apps to help you manage your groceries. inally, if you really want to raise the bar’, then go for it! reakfast bars have the effect of achieving both extra space for sociable cooking, and also an extension to a dining area. They provide a focal point for family to gather, making meal times and coffee catch ups more sociable than before. itchen it regularly update their website with new insights and top tips on how to get the best out of your new kitchen, and nothing beats advice from the experts! With that in mind, why not head online and see for yourself what this stellar Cornish brand has to offer etter still, give them a call and make now the time you finally get your dream kitchen project off the ground!

WEDDINGS

FROM THIS DAY

forward

From truly traditional ceremonies to the wonderfully unconventional, The Park Cornwall can offer a dream come true.

T

he day you’ve both been waiting for is on the horizon. Licensed for civil ceremonies, naming ceremonies and renewal of marriage vows in the magical Yurt Village, the on-site restaurant, The Kitchen By The Beach or one of their three Eco Lodges with stunning balcony views, The Park Cornwall could be the most enchanting setting for your very own love story.

This multi award-winning, five-star holiday village boasts accommodation from luxury lodges, cosy cottages and some with their very own hot tubs. There are park cabins, cladded caravans, and for anyone seeking ultimate romance, the Yurt Village offers the most magical of settings. Imagine a fairytale like Yurt Village with a communal lounge area where you can have up to 25 guests, or chill around the fit pit and clay oven under the stars, sipping sundowners. If it’s a larger wedding, the on-site restaurant, The Kitchen

By The Beach, can accommodate up to 50 guests with its contemporary design and friendly atmosphere – with an outdoor area and clay oven. If you want a small intimate family occasion, one of the three Eco Lodges will take up to 25 guests, and you can even stand on the balcony and say ‘I do’.

The Park has over 25 dog-friendly properties and your pooches are even welcome in the restaurant, so no need for

anyone to be left behind. For a wedding feast for all to delight in, the on-site restaurant, The Kitchen By The Beach, has a new Head Chef, Jon Moyle, a proud Cornishman with 32 years’ experience in and around Cornwall.

You won’t even need to step foot off the resort with the indoor pool, play areas for the little ones, and even an on-site sauna for when a little pre-nuptial relaxation is needed. But if post-wedding adventure is calling, you can enjoy the many cycle routes and coastal footpaths in the area.

Whether it’s a quiet ceremony with friends, an intimate elopement, or an unconventional wedding in the Yurt Village, The Park Cornwall is there to make it a truly memorable experience.

Holywell Bay The Director

by Martín Raskovsky As a photographer, Martín has found that it is never enough to capture reality if the image coming out of the camera does not convey the emotions felt while taking the photo. His current interest is in the post-capture creative process, a search for colours and forms that emanate from his inner thoughts, often completely unrelated to the original subject. Brush in hand, the

journey of image transformation is an art form of its own.

Mary’s work is a journey, evolving and developing gradually, allowing her an emotional response to art and the landscape.

ART

THE LIZARD A creative duo whose differing styles and sources of inspiration make for a fabulous insight into the Lizard’s art scene.

E

stablished artists Simon and Rebecca Jewell, live and work on the beautiful Lizard peninsula from their studios at home in the village of Mawgan. Since getting married in 2001, they have pursued their passion for all things artistic. Working together gives them the opportunity to bounce ideas off, and support, each other in the work they do, helping one another to gain inspiration.

Simon has always taken an interest in extreme weather, which he tells us has become a real passion: “There is nowhere to run and hide down here so you just need to embrace the elements. My work focuses on the untamed seas and the large open spaces of Goonhilly Downs.” He works in oils on large canvases, building up layers of paint to give a real textural feel to emulate the ruggedness of the south west coast line.

Rebecca paints contemporary botanical pieces, from large scale to small detailed works: “An important part of the process is to grow, pick and photograph the flowers I use in my work in order to capture the unique forms created by nature. Spring into summer is always so exciting, waiting to see what will emerge. Every flower has its own personality, from big blousy peonies, the intricate structure of a dahlia or the elegance of a rose. lacing the flowers against dark backgrounds really makes them pop, but also using light backgrounds gives a sense of fresh air and calm.”

After the challenges of the past couple of years, the pair are very excited about the future, especially as they will be participating in Open Studios Cornwall this year, starting at the end of ay. It looks like it’ll be a busy year preparing work for galleries and solo exhibitions, both here and as far away as New Zealand!

While taking on commission work and relishing the challenge to create a bespoke work of art, if you would like to discuss that special piece or find out about future exhibitions, make sure to get in touch with Rebecca and Simon!

TRIED

Hoping to travel abroad this spring? Rapid Health Test in Truro might just be able to help…

W

ith spring on the horizon, many will be gearing up to travel, whether that’s nationally or around the world. If you are hoping to make the most of holidays abroad, you’ll still need to check the latest guidance for the country you’re hoping to visit, to ensure you’re up to date on Covid-19 testing requirements.

Indeed, even now, as the UK lifts most travel restrictions, just a quick scan of the guidance for other nations shows a varied mix of requirements for those hoping to gain entry. This can make arranging a much-needed trip away a logistical nightmare, which is why Dr Joe Stolte launched Rapid Health Test in Truro.

Whatever the guidelines may be for the country you wish to visit, if they require proof of a negative test, then Rapid Health Test in Truro can help.

Launched to help travellers avoid scuppered plans with the emergence of globally changing Covid-19 travel guidelines, Rapid Health Test provides exactly what it says ‘on the tin’. The team have their own lab and guarantee no courier related problems and no lost samples, with PCR testing in just 90

minutes, as well as Antigen testing in only 30 minutes! This means you can get the test results you need, quickly and without hassle, allowing you to focus on what really matters – enjoying your trip!

“Regulations around travel are constantly changing,” says Dr Stolte, “which is why we set up Rapid Health Test in Truro. We are the only clinic in Cornwall to offer same-day C with it to ly Travel certification for those travelling from the UK. We are so proud to be able to serve the Cornish community; your tests can be done either in any of our Truro or Plymouth clinics, or from the comfort of your own home, with results in a matter of hours.”

To book an appointment, or for more information about private Covid testing, be sure to call Dr Stolte or visit the Rapid Health Test website.

A new age If you’re thinking about a facelift, then Mr Pinto and the Duchy Hospital team have you covered.

A

geing, and the physical toll it takes on us and our appearance, is a fact of life that we all must face head on. As we get older, our skin can lose some of its bounce and become looser, but this can be alleviated via a facelift – a cosmetic procedure designed to smooth and tighten the skin, giving a naturally refreshed and more youthful appearance. At Duchy Hospital, a leading provider of cosmetic surgery for Cornwall, the highly experienced team of plastic and reconstructive surgeons are all members of professional associations and on the specialist register for plastic surgery at the General Medical Council.

Mr Pinto, Duchy Hospital’s Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial, Cosmetic and Reconstructive Facial Surgeon, gives us some insight into the facial procedures available. elving into the benefits of a modern facelift, he explains that such a procedure allows the patient to look fresher and younger, whilst avoiding the ‘frozen’ or ‘stretched’ look. Well versed in the latest facelift techniques, with extensive knowledge on facial anatomy, Mr Pinto aims to leave all patients feeling happy and comfortable in their skin. So what are the options?

The first is the eep lane acelift, which gives a really dramatic result that targets more severe facial and neck sagging. An incision is made under the muscle layer of the face, so the lift is much deeper and looks much more natural overall. It’s also known as a ‘SMAS’ facelift, which refers to

the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) layer that is being lifted.

Next, the Mini Facelift is less dramatic.

It includes several types of less invasive lifts, usually around the neck and jaw areas, such as minimal access cranial suspension lift. These are ideal for milder issues with sagging skin, usually suited to younger patients.

Finally, the Temporal Mid Facelift is a new, minimal-access facelift that uses temporal access incisions in the hairline, meaning there is no facial scarring. This is a very effective procedure for milder sagging skin in the cheeks and mid-face area.

Following an assessment with Mr Pinto, he can create a bespoke facelift for you, depending on your desired look and needs. You could also add on another procedure such as Neck Lift, Deep Plane Neck Lift, Eye Lift, or Brow Lift, for a full facial rejuvenation.

The key, is to book a consultation to see what might work best for you. With minimal wait times, if you’re hoping to embark on a journey for a fresher, more youthful appearance, why not give Duchy Hospital’s Private Patient Team a call?
