a new low rise apartment complex situated on Gibb st in Kelvin Grove, evoque offers buyers the opportunity to live so close to the city without breaking the budget. With a number of different apartment layouts available including a number of apartments with courtyards there is an option for every buyer. Just make sure to get in quickly as nearly half are already under offer.

living

7 Reasons to Buy an evoque apaRtment‌

1. Boutique complex of 20 apartments with nearly half already under offer. small complexes hold value and grow at a faster rate due to stronger interest from owner occupiers.

2. the complex is made up of 2 separate buildings, allowing quiet living for tenants and owner occupiers.

3. Lower cost per square metre than most new buildings in the area. our body corporate costs are also extremely low, estimated around $1,500 per year.

4. Kelvin Grove has over 20,000+ employed workers in the area, including the RBH and qut staff – but currently only 3,000 homes. Huge demand for tenants and owner occupiers to move to Kelvin Grove.

6. excellent transportation links, via m3, Inner City Bypass, airport Link, Clem 7 & Legacy Way. 7. strong growth predicted for Kelvin Grove in coming years given proximity to the City, growth of local businesses, the university and Hospital.

Completion due late February 2014, call Bridget today on 0424 628 877 for your information pack.

5 mins with ... erika heynatz Lucy Stephens chats to model, actress and musical theatre maven, Erika Heynatz about her upcoming role in cult classic musical, The Rocky Horror Show.

Tell me about your role as Magenta with The Rocky Horror Show? Magenta is basically a domestic servant to the lead Frank N Furter. On top of keeping the castle clean I just wait on Frank hand and foot and cater to his every need. I completely idolise him, he’s my master, he’s my god. I’m pushy and rude and laugh at other people’s misery.

Everything with Legally Blonde was so pink and shiny and full of heart, and Rocky Horror has some of that, but there is a very different tone. There’s a chance to really let go of inhibitions and to celebrate liberations of any kind.

Was musical theatre something you always enjoyed as a kid, was it something that you where heavily involved in growing up? At school it took a little while for me to find the confidence to put my hand up. I tended to go for parts where I could sing in a group. And that remains for me to be the biggest pleasure. It wasn’t until I was offered a part in It Takes Two when I thought, ‘now is my

12

chance to pursue what makes me really happy’.

You were recently nominated for a Helpman Award (an accolade presented by Live Performance Australia) for your role as Brooke Wyndham in Legally Blonde. What was that like? It was incredible – just incredible! If anything, I thought I’d be given the biggest rookie of the year.

For me, I was just so thrilled that I got the part!

Do you have any health or beauty tricks you swear by to get you through your day?

Preparation is key – I prepare my food the night before. I make iced tea, iced coffee to take. I take protein shakes, boiled eggs, salads, vegetables.

Doing my job, you need to constantly fuel. If you don’t have food at hand, you eat lollies and then you have energy peaks and everyone ends up hating each other! (laughs). I also exercise seven days a week, whether it’s weights, spin class or surfing.

I’m not a very good surfer, but I’m very, very keen. www.rockyhorror.com.au

The Rocky Horror Show opens to January 8, Brisbane audiences from at the Lyric Theatre, QPAC. Tickets from $69.90.

Australia Day wit h a

Celebrate Australia Day in style this year at Chester Street’s gourmet sausage sizzle soiree.

Australia Day has always been one of the best and most relaxed holidays of the year, with the typical day spent chilling out by the pool, drinking in the backyard (or at the pub) and throwing a few extra steaks on the BBQ. But if you’re looking to break away from the mould and celebrate with a little more class this year, why not head down to Chester Street Bakery and Bar for a quintessentially Australian feast.

With their white picket fence, alfresco deck and fairy lights, Chester Street offers a chic take on the Aussie backyard, perfect for all you trendy Brisbanites out there. Running all long weekend, Chester Street is inviting Brisbane to come and celebrate at the most sophisticated sausage sizzle in town. They’ll be serving up prime beef sausages in soft white rolls topped with caramelised onion and their famous tomato relish, along with cocktails by the glass or jug, beers on tap and a modest list of reds and whites.

Typical Aussie favourites will also be on

offer, like Beef and Red Wine Pies, ANZAC Biscuits, Jam Drops, Lamingtons and, of course, Pavlova. And if you feel you can’t betray your own backyard, you can also preorder their Shepard’s pies with savoury mince, mashed potato and a crusty cheese top to serve up at your own Aussie day shin-dig.

interior initiative Tess Brinums sat down with Sublime Architectural Interiors’ Principal Designer, Kim Duffin, to get his forecast on the hottest trends and tips for 2014.

As an industry leader in interior architecture, what do you forecast as the strongest trends for kitchens and renovations for 2014? I think there will be a stronger connection between adjoining spaces i.e., living, dining and kitchen.

Many designs we have coming up for 2014 comprise removing walls and relocating windows to create more connection in these living spaces and this extends to the blurring between indoor/outdoor spaces.

What strongest trends in interiors for 2013 will carry over into the New Year?

Furniture pieces. We are now not only designing and manufacturing kitchens and vanities but storage solutions throughout the home that are used in unison. We want to work, play, cook and socialise in combination so designing spaces using furniture pieces such as booth seating, entertainment zones and so on brings the whole concept together, helps the space flow and create harmony in our day-to-day life.

What advice would you give to someone about to commence a new build or renovation? Planning is the key and functionality first. We don’t just replace things because we can; we replace www.stylemagazines.com.au

things because they are no longer meeting our needs. So it is really important to understand your needs then start planning new spaces.

Any lesser-known tips we should know about interiors? Use larger tiles – reduced lines will make the space appear bigger and less cluttered.

Grains – if you are using a timber grain, think about which way to run, horizontal or vertical. In a small room with limited light and height, running the grain horizontally can make the space look small.

Suspended furniture pieces – this is a great way to give a space flow and the light and airy feeling that we all love.

What is your favourite finish for a kitchen/bathroom and why? Textured surfaces. Texture brings things alive and can make you feel things when touched.

So sometimes just mixing textures is enough to create interest in a space without the need to go over the top with colour.

See more of Kim’s stunning designs on www.stylemagazines.com.au.

injectable beauty Registered Nurse Susan Walsh of Australian Skin Clinics fills us in on injectables, fillers and looking natural. based on the treatment area, your age and strength of the underlying muscles, and give you a total price up front.

Can you really have anti-wrinkle injections in your lunch break? Treatments generally take just 15 – 30 minutes and our clients can return to normal activity straight away, without noticeable indication that you’ve had a treatment.

Will anti-wrinkle injections stop me from having facial expression? This only happens if too much of the product is used. We use small, correctly placed doses to create a natural softening of unwanted lines without compromising facial expression.

To book your complimentary, individualised consultation, contact Australian Skin Clinics.

What are the common facial areas to have injectables? For anti-wrinkle injectables, it is frown and forehead lines and crow’s feet. Dermal fillers are commonly used for lips and cheeks to add volume and lift, and to rejuvenate the area beneath the eyes.

What can I expect from a lip filler treatment?

Lip filler treatments should complement your features, be age appropriate and look natural. They can add definition to the Cupid’s bow, give the lips a fuller look, and correct asymmetry.

How often do you need to have injectables?

Anti-wrinkle injections last between three to four months and dermal fillers between nine and 18 months, depending on the filler and the area treated.

With my clients I formulate a maintenance plan suitable for their individual budget and desired look.

What is the cost for anti-wrinkle injections?

Our anti-wrinkle injections are $3.95 per unit. We evaluate the number of units you require, which is

Style Publisher Tracy Johnston recounts her luxury weekend away at the Grand Buree – a stunning holiday home in Byron Bay. Recently a group of friends and I were lucky enough to experience a five-star getaway at the Garden Burees, in one of my favourite places to chill, Byron Bay. On entering the Grand Buree through impressive antique timber doors, the tranquil stand-alone villa took my breath away. With three spacious and beautifully presented suites, a private plunge pool and spa, hideaway courtyards and a fullyequipped kitchen complete with ice-maker and coffee machine, we could have happily enjoyed a rejuvenating stay without stepping foot outside the Balinese-inspired home.

Authentic Balinese and Asian finishes coupled with the tropical entertaining area and soothing water features, really do take you to a happy place… Mai Tai anyone?

Once we managed to pry ourselves away from our little slice of paradise, it was only a hop, skip and a jump to the iconic Byron Bay Brewery. We unwound in their relaxed beer garden and sampled award-winning beers

on tap. As the nights heat up, local and international bands and DJ’s transform the dance floor into a lively nightlife hotspot.

On the first Sunday of every month, you can head to the Byron Bay Markets and browse the fashion, jewellery and crafts while listening to local musicians. It’s a relaxed vibe as you feast on fabulous street food like paella, crepes, vegetarian curries and delicious sugared donuts. Make sure you go on an empty stomach!

Our weekend at The Grand Burees was a perfect way to catch up with good friends prior to Christmas. We all agreed it is one of the loveliest and unique places we’ve all stayed at and highly recommend it for groups of friends, an adult family or an intimate celebration – think 40th or small wedding.

It sleeps six to seven people with plenty of room for privacy or to throw a great party.

care factor The greatest wealth is health.

Your relationship with your doctor is an invaluable one. Your doctor is the person who advises you on the best care for your individual needs and it’s a relationship that will possibly outlast many others.

With that in mind, it’s essential that you choose a doctor and a practice that is right for you,

especially in the long term. It’s a comfort to know that the level of care and support you’re seeking can be found at Teneriffe Family Doctors, which is an independent General Practice owned and run by experienced doctors who have worked in the local area for the past 10 years.

Its team of six doctors forms a cohesive, collaborative team whose best interests lie with their patients and providing them with the utmost care and consideration.

Their services, for example, typify their mission to better the lives of their patients. They go above and beyond by providing not only general medical support, immunisations and family planning, but

also counselling, travel advice, skin checks, minor surgery, antenatal share care and much more. The staff is at your service to ensure you have all the information and health support you require with a full range of services and appointments on the day if needed.

Their recent move from Florence St to Gasworks Plaza is a testament to their dedication to patient care, allowing the practice and its doctors room for growth and improvement in what they can offer the local and surrounding community.

Tell me about your show, The Naked Magicians? It’s an adult-rated comedy magic show that leaves little to the imagination. It strays from classic magic involving top hats and capes, and straps the audience in for a boisterous night of entertainment that is hilarious and cheeky. We’re headlining the Brisbane Comedy Festival at Powerhouse from Feb 25 to March 2.

Do you follow any fashion rules? I like to look good in the latest trends, but I avoid being a carbon copy of every other guy. I like to wear a pocket square with my jackets. If there’s the slightest chance I’ll be getting naked at end of the night, I make sure I have my best underwear on.

What’s your fashion mantra? “A man in a suit, is to a woman… what a woman in lingerie, is to a man.”

Whose celebrity style do you admire?

summer hair colour

2014 colour combos

The New Year is a brilliant time to rethink your skincare regime. With a host of high-tech products and professional advice available, getting a youthful glow couldn’t be easier.

While some take comfort in shielding their skin imperfections with make-up, you can adopt some healthy, more permanent changes.

• Nutrient deficiency is one major health concern for society at present. Give yourself some time to look back on your diet.

• Water is essential to keeping a healthy glow.

It aids in eliminating impurities, plus keeps our cells hydrated.

• Avoid stress as much as you can. It only leaves your skin looking dry, aged, and wrinkled. Exercise is a big help here!

• Protect your skin from harsh environments like the sun, wind and pollution.

Always seek professional advice for your personal skin health goals. Your skin is a functioning organ of the body. Love your skin and it will love you back! Wishing you all a very “Happy New Year”.

If you’re going to a colourist that’s never said no to you, you’re not being advised on the best colour palette for you or your hair. Our true point of difference is that we’re excellent at consultation and we steer clients in the right direction for their hair, and not the direction that is most expensive or just a passing trend.

Full scalp bleaches or moving too light too quickly are not necessarily in the best interest of the customer. Hair colouring is about making you look like the best version of yourself, and not necessarily defaulting to a lighter shade for summer. Sometimes the more depth you remove from your hair, the more colour you remove from your face. Rather than removing too much depth and opting for a pale blonde that’s flat or dull, why not embrace warmth this summer with a peachy-hessian tone of blonde.

The warmth and tone of this modern take on traditional blonde will add a level of shine and condition you never knew your hair could have.

Welcome summer with a beautiful bespoke hair colour.

For 2014, think traditional wedding colour tones like pale pinks and apricot mixed with modern metals and turned on their heads with lashings of glitter for a vintage glam vibe. Or take that pale pink and apricot and mix it with cool and subtle mint for a more relaxed feel.

Add a third element of gold for a romantic feel.

At Victoria Park, we love a dash of navy, so we’re thrilled to know it will also be making a big comeback. Don’t forget to add in a pattern with stripes, polka dots, or floral prints, as this is a key element in getting this wedding trend right.

Summer will be bright as ever with a spring/ summer floral look that creates a new spin on 2013 trends of vintage, modern and traditional, by mixing all three together. Team it with traditional bouquets and glam shoes to polish off the look. The colour palette? Aqua, pink and yellow… bright, bold, and beautiful!

And if you don’t find you fit into any one of these colour combos, then take your pick of elements and mix them together to create a whole new trend that is perfectly you!

infrared sauna therapy

the value of an architect

discomfort and aching legs

What assists in detoxification, weight loss, pain relief, lowers blood pressure, improves circulation, and purifies the skin? The answer is the Sunlighten Infrared Sauna, which I am thrilled to have welcomed to our studio. The health benefits are abundant, ranging from easing symptoms of arthritis to metabolism support and weight loss.

At Hypoxi, we are all about empowering wellness and championing positive, long-term health decisions. Sunlighten Infrared Saunas tie in with this philosophy because they contribute to ongoing health benefits including those mentioned above as well as cell health, relaxation, and wound healing.

Infrared Sauna Therapy can even assist in complementary cancer care due to its detoxifying effects, its ability to reduce the side effects of conventional therapies, and increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy.

Whether you’re looking to complement your current health and fitness or detoxify your body, Infrared Sauna Therapy might be just the thing you need to tackle the New Year head on.

Good quality design is one of the most important aspects of residential property today, particularly in affluent areas where properties have multi-million dollar price tags. It’s great to see a growing recognition of the value of good quality design and even more, the value of a talented, experienced architect.

More Australians are using architects in addition to builders when renovating, extending or building a new home. We’re far more open to new ideas and we understand the value of an architect’s opinion on structural issues and aesthetics.

There’s still a misperception that architects are for the wealthy and that’s not the case.

It should also be noted that architects don’t just design brand new homes or contemporary renovations. Many architects specialise in recreating period style properties such as Victorian and Federation homes.

Think of your architect as your creative partner and don’t be afraid to think outside the square and break down a few barriers (or perhaps a few walls) in the process!

Long periods of standing in one position can be common in certain occupations such as hairdressing or machinery work and it can often lead to discomfort in the legs and feet. Symptoms such as a vague aching sensation, itchy legs or burning and sweating feet can be due to poor clearance of venous blood out of the legs.

People affected with venous disease that causes venous incompetence are particularly prone to these symptoms if they are standing still and not moving around. Walking helps clear the blood out of the lower limbs because contraction of the calf muscles compresses the deep veins and this is the mechanism by which venous blood gets pumped up and out of the legs. It’s known as the “calf muscle pump”.

If you are experiencing uncomfortable symptoms, you might be suffering from venous incompetence. This can often occur without the presence of visible varicose veins. A duplex ultrasound of the saphenous veins and deep veins in your legs is the appropriate investigation for this problem.

STYLE | FASHION

the white trend STYLE talks to Westfield Chermside stylist Christie Nicolaides to get some hot tips on the latest summer trend.

All white head to toe is one of the most popular trends this Summer season. Some may believe that all white outfits are rather conservative and plain, however wearing all white is actually very brave.

Contrary to belief, wearing all white will make you stand out amongst a crowd of bright colours and bold prints. Whether you opt for high waisted trousers paired back with a crisp collared shirt, a simple sundress or a slouchy blazer with tailored shorts, the all white trend will ensure you look effortlessly chic and sophisticated.

How to wear the all white trend:

Tahalia wears: Laurent lariat necklace $24.95, Bardot; Shade zebra print loafer $159.95, Wittner; Anna chino pant $179, Saba; Sleeveless shirt $99, Cue; White watch $49.95, Adorne.

One Tribe visor $59.95, Mimco

Experiment with textures

Whilst it is important to embrace minimalism when wearing all white, you can still mix lace, leather, sheer and opaque fabrics to create a unique look.

1

Despite popular belief white is flattering on all complexions and body shapes, you just have to find the right tone for you. If you find stark white washes you out, opt for cream or off-white.

Clutch $39.95, Adorne

Keep it simple

The key to looking effortlessly cool in all white is minimalism, so stick to well cut pieces, clean lines and subtle accessories. A good rule of thumb is to limit any glitzy accessories and stick to silver, gold or white.

Belcher link necklace $24.95, Bardot

Commit to the look

This means wearing white from top to toe; keep in mind that the accessories you choose should enhance the all white look rather than distract from it. A simple chain bracelet or a bold pair of sunglasses will complement the classic look. Â

Find the right white for you

TOO MUCH WHITE

Pair white back with black or bright yellow if you don’t think the all white look is for you. Black offers a stark contrast, especially in the form of a black strappy sandal or a pin stripe blouse. Bright yellow can add a warmth and sense of fun to an otherwise serious look. january14

Jacklyn Robb

hot attraction Harlow Hot Yoga at Newstead is just warming up.

After working in advertising for many years, Jacklyn Robb found herself dreaming of doing something for herself.

“I’ve always liked to create things,” Jacklyn says.

“Working within the boundaries of someone else’s organisation made me feel trapped; like I wasn’t discovering my true potential.”

“I wanted to start my own business, and I loved making people feel good, so I picked something that would allow me to do this on a daily basis.”

As a member of another hot yoga studio, Jacklyn loved the way it made her feel and look. But with each class, her thoughts on how she could do things better grew.

So in January last year, Jacklyn started Harlow Hot Yoga.

In hot yoga, classes are performed in a room set at 30 degrees (the traditional Bikram classrooms are set to 38 degrees). Harlow aims to deliver a five-star hot yoga experience offering three types

brisbane’s

of hot yoga classes, in a New York loft style studio.

Like most new business owners, Jacklyn found the initial steps a hard slog. As a nonyoga instructor, she needed to work full time in another role to fund her burgeoning business.

But, 12 months later and with 10 instructors employed at the Newstead based business, Jacklyn is starting to see the fruits of her labour.

“I’ve had such positive feedback,” she says, with customers seeing benefits in their physique, their attitude and day-to-day life.

“One of our male customers recently told me that his wife has noticed a dramatic difference in his happiness levels and outlook in life.”

“I’d love to have four studios in the next two years… I want to educate as many people as I can on how powerful practicing mindfulness is.”

easy living Ever wished someone else could take care of your annoying to-do list? Well now there’s someone who can.

Life is great – except for those obligations that take up far too much of your free time. One of Brisbane’s best-kept secrets, Blair Lifestyle Management (BLM), is proving buying time is possible with their Lifestyle Concierge services.

Managing Director Adele Blair and her team have created Lifestyle Plans that clients can choose from which provide more convenience and affordability.

“Lives are getting busier and busier and this kind of service is ongoing, having a “things to do” list is never a one-off situation,” says Blair.

While clients joke they have a wife ‘without the strings’ packages are tailored to suit couples, families and businesses, providing them with the freedom to enjoy life knowing their to-dos are being actioned. For example the typical urban family lead a busy life. Mum and dad both work,

kids attend school and boast busy after-school and weekend calendars, and don’t forget mum and dad want to have a free weekend every now and again to spend with friends – they hardly have time to hit the supermarket or clean the house.

From just a few dollars a day you can have your own Lifestyle Concierge on call. Whether it’s ordering groceries, arranging Wi-Fi installation

or carpet cleaners, operating the front desk of a corporation, organizing a babysitter, placing dinner reservations or even securing great tickets to the Ashes, BLM have it covered. See which lifestyle plan best suits you and get ready to live.

Can you put a price on love? In the lead up to Valentine’s Day, Lucy Stephens gets the low down on engagement ring spend from some of Brisbane’s best jewellers.

When it comes to getting hitched, long gone are “Customers are more interested in getting a many of the age-old nuptial customs. It comes as no quality product and value for money,” he says. surprise then that many of the rituals surrounding the Craig McKim of McKims Jewellery Design in Milton engagement have also changed to reflect the times. specialises in custom jewellery, and says for his customers, it’s more about uniqueness in design While tradition suggests three month’s of the than spend. gentleman’s wage be spent on the ring, this is an outdated idea, says Monili Jewellers Brisbane “Each client is unique and has different budgets, Operations Manager Amelia Silva. but most people spend upwards of $5,000,” he says.

“It’s common banter between couples when “Our clients put value on the importance price comes up, but it’s fair to say the ‘tradition’ of individuality through the use of colour and shape; is definitely gone,” she says. either by metal or stone selection.”

“We’ve noticed customers spending on “But, most important to them is being involved in engagement rings varying between $5,000 and the process of design, as let’s face it - it’s $55,000, but the average spend we’re seeing is their personal symbol of love – which is very around $8,000 to $15,000.” rewarding for me to create.”

Hardy Brothers’ Chief Executive Stuart Bishop agrees. He says while customers still spend a decent amount on the ring, it’s more about getting bling for your buck.

DNA Renewal, a new skincare range that seems made just for sun-damaged Queenslanders, has just hit town. Developed

by Dr Ronald Moy, a leading American dermatologist who spent 25 years researching the effects of the sun on skin, developed the line for patients in his Los Angeles clinic to help reverse pre-cancers. The range contains DNA repair enzymes and growth factors (to stimulate cellular growth) derived from barley bioengineered in Iceland and it targets sundamage, wrinkles, enlarged pores and uneven skin tone. It’s also fragrance, paraben and sulphate-free. For the month of January you can get a complimentary AHA peel valued at $120 with every purchase of the DNA Renewal skincare system ($580 for five products).

Cancer fighting skincare

Omnilux Red Light Therapy is a tried and true way to improve your skin’s tone and texture. The treatment itself is deeply relaxing – it’s like lying on the beach in the sun – only without the harmful UVA and UVB parts that cause skin damage. These light rays penetrate deep into the skin, plump it up, boost collagen production, increase blood flow and give your skin a glow; all while you lie in the relaxing red light that also boosts your serotonin. You leave feeling happy and relaxed, with great looking skin. $130 for 30 mins Outshine Medispa, 39 James St, Fortitude Valley, 3252 2882.

lash extensions save you about 20 minutes a day in makeup prep time, and at Brooklyn Beauty Bar, you can have other treatments done while getting lashtastic. Brooke at Brooklyn is so quick, a full set took her under 40 minutes, and I had a Shellac pedicure at the same time. she even studies the way you blink to determine how best to place the lashes. My lashes look natural and feel like my own. Plus I feel like they give my eyes a mini lift, so the $150 price tag for me, is money well spent.

The Clear + Brilliant laser is a new laser treatment that is becoming known as a game changer when it comes to treating wrinkles, pores and ageing skin. The Clear + Brilliant is a medical-grade treatment and is the baby sister to the Fraxel laser, only this one offers new skin with no downtime and no pain. Old, tired skin is replaced with skin that has a more even texture and tone with pores and fine lines minimised. Numbing cream is applied to the face before the laser is used, it feels a little tingly and hot. Skin is pink for a few hours but by the next day, you are fresh faced once more. A course of three is recommended for optimal results but you will be amazed at even what one can do. $395 per treatment.

beyond the smile Sure Dental takes us behind the smile to the heart of their practice.

A healthy smile isn’t just beneficial on a physical level; a beautiful smile promotes a sense of confidence that trickles through to self esteem and self empowerment.

Dr Michael Ghobrial, one of Sure Dental’s experts in dental care and a practicing dentist for 10 years, says one of the most common questions he is asked by patients is, “how can I improve a healthy, beautiful smile?”

His answer is grounded in the exceptional care and service that Sure Dental provides. That can range from conventional orthodontics through to Invisalign technology, which allows the dentists to straighten teeth using a series of clear trays worn sequentially to move teeth. Dr Ghobrial himself is currently undergoing Invisalign treatment without many of his patients even noticing!

A common problem most patients share is anxiety when it comes to dental treatment. One

Dr Ghobrial and Dr Kelsey form an integral part of the friendly team at Sure Dental. patient had such reservations about a trip to the dentist that the mere thought of a consultation made her severely anxious. But over the past three months, Dr Ghobrial, Dr Kelsey, and the team of specially trained Dental Hygienists has worked with her to remove active tooth decay, infection and whiten her teeth in preparation for her wedding day. The change has been so poignant that she says she loves coming in and no longer fears dental treatment.

Genesis Manager and PT Mitch Cruz-Celis encouraged me to sign up for the challenge. In 12 weeks, I had lost 16.5 kilos and 48cm. With a calorie controlled diet and exercise plan, I am now seven kilos off my goal weight of 58 kilos. I placed third overall, I am no longer border diabetic, and I am stronger and more determined than ever to achieve my goals. I felt supported and encouraged the whole way, and I’ll be joining the new challenge in Feb to lose the last few kilos.

When it comes to maintaining a healthy weight and looking good in your own skin, sometimes it takes a little more than healthy eating and regular exercise.

Enter Body Image – a salon exclusively dedicated to helping people achieve their desired physique and skin texture.

The James Street salon specialises in body sculpting, reducing fat cells, removing cellulite and smoothing wrinkles through the use of state of the art technology and methods.

The salon employs the use of Ultrasonic Cavitation, Tripolar RF and vacuum, and can tailor a treatment plan to suit your particular desires or needs.

With a background in beauty therapy, owner Felicity Shingler 48

has been training and working with the cavitation machines for over three years before they arrived in Australia.

She says that while results can be instant, with initial sessions often revealing tighter, firmer skin and a reduction of cellulite, the best results are achieved through multiple sessions, with clients visibly losing inches from their waist, bottom and thighs.

Ultrasonic Cavitation can be used to sculpt both smaller and larger parts of the body, through safe, non-invasive technology with proven results and no down time.

Head in to see how you can see smoother, tighter skin today.

At the beginning of the challenge, I wasn’t sure if I would have the time or energy to commit to the challenge. However, once I signed up, I found I really enjoyed the variety of classes, and loved the routine. I’m now happier in myself and spend more time with my family going for walks and bike rides. Physically and mentally, I am stronger. My goal was to lose 10 kilos, but I lost 13.8 kilos. I am feeling more confident in myself and body, fitting into clothes I haven’t worn in years. I met some great people, which I wasn’t anticipating, and we often catch up on a social basis. I’m looking forward to taking the challenge again in February!

The Leg Vein Doctor makes treating varicose veins a ‘walk in, walk out’ proced ure

new no-stripping solution For those of you not familiar with varicose veins, here’s the low down.

Vein stripping is a treatment used to combat varicose vein disease involving an invasive surgical process. Surgical stripping is unfortunately plagued by very high rates of varicose vein regrowth after surgery. The reason for this is not due to poor surgical technique but rather a problem referred to as “neovascularisation”- where the varicose veins simply grow back.

There also tends to be a burden involved for patients having their veins stripped, as they require hospitalisation because surgery is performed under a general anaesthetic. The risk of damage to nerves and the lymphatic system is also higher following surgical stripping in comparison to Endovenous Laser Therapy and Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy.

In July 2013, the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) released groundbreaking clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and management of varicose veins.

The NICE guidelines emphasise that surgical stripping of varicose veins has become superseded by Endovenous Laser Therapy and Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy. In layman’s terms, Endovenous Laser Therapy uses heated lasers to seal larger veins shut, making it a www.stylemagazines.com.au

‘walk in-walk out’ procedure lasting about an hour with minimal pain and after-treatment.

Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy (UGS) is ideal for complex varicose veins and those that have recurred after surgery. The source of these veins is often hidden deep under the skin but can be seen on an ultrasound, allowing the needle to be accurately targeted for maximum results.

Endovenous Lasers should not be confused with Surface Lasers, which are beamed directly onto the skin to treat surface veins. Surface Lasers are inappropriate in the treatment of varicose veins.

While the jargon can sometimes be a little confusing, what is obvious is that vein stripping is no longer a necessary form of treatment when more effective, less painful options are available.

The Leg Vein Doctor is dedicated to offering these new procedures at their clinic in Toowong.

An initial consultation with Dr Kemp including an ultrasound costs $150 (Medicare rebate available) and you will receive a personalised treatment plan valid for 12 months.
