NeoGen Plasma

The leading skinresurfacing, regenerating and tightening technology for everyone.

We all worry about the changes in our skin at some point in our lives and especially as we get older leading us to invest in the latest must have treatments from the beauty industry.

At the Dr. Rasha private aesthetics clinic in the heart of London’s Mayfair, Dr. Rasha Rakhshani’s mission is to ensure that every patient leaves with a renewed sense of confidence and newfound self-appreciation. One of London’s most highly regarded cosmetic doctors with an impressive global following, she achieves this through a combination of bespoke treatments resulting in beautifully natural results along with her extensive knowledge of medicine complimented with a dedicated team wholly focused on patient care.

The Dr. Rasha Clinic offers an extensive menu of non-invasive aesthetic procedures and advanced facials, each accompanied with bespoke tailoring to meet individual clients’ expectations. The NeoGen Plasma treatment which sits above any other traditional skin technologies on the market is available here. Clinically-Proven, nitrogen plasma technology treats the whole skin architecture and darker skin types with less downtime and complications than other energy devices.

NeoGen Plasma offers a unique and effective process of skin resurfacing that stimulates the natural response of the epidermal turnover. It is also clinically proven to treat skin architecture and darker skin types with less downtime and complications than other energy devices on the market.

The unique properties of nitrogen plasma enable high temperatures to be delivered as deep as the reticular dermis at high energy, leading to long-term regeneration and remodelling of collagen and elastin that will continue to improve for up to 12 months and last for years.

What makes NeoGen Plasma regeneration treatments unique is

the fact that low energy treatments are suitable for all ages, skin types, face and body. NeoGen Plasma’s versatility enables the practitioner to tailor the energy level to meet the exact needs of the client. Lower energy treatments are suitable and beneficial for everyone regardless of age or skin colour and will improve the skin’s regenerative function, providing a truly natural approach to maintaining dermal health. Higher energy treatments achieve the same results as a CO2 ablative treatment but with half the recovery time and significantly less complications due to the skin remaining intact and acting as a natural biological barrier. These energy levels are subject to the device used.

There is no doubt that combined with Dr. Rasha’s expertise and artistic flair, this bespoke treatment which specialises in skin health will help you achieve your wellness goals.

Diptyque Sloane Street

Parisian perfumer Diptyque will launch of its new UK flagship, located in the heart of Chelsea on Sloane Street, on the 18th November 2022.

Housed in the centre of London’s luxury shopping district, the Sloane Street boutique is set to be the largest store in the UK at 107 square meters, and the second boutique to be designed in the brand’s new retail concept.

Taking inspiration from the brand’s rich heritage, the flagship is a Diptyque home, à la française - a beautiful Parisian apartment where tradition meets imagination and fantasy, and consumers will be treated to exclusive events and services.

“Opening our new flagship on Sloane Street is an important moment for Diptyque’s brand journey. We have a thriving community in the Chelsea neighbourhood and are very excited to have found a perfect store in the area. More than just a luxury contemporary retail space, we want to welcome and take all our guests on a journey of discovery and surprises inside our Diptyque apartment.” says Amanda Morgan, Managing Director UK.

The new boutique, designed in house by the Maison, is reminiscent of classic Parisian architecture, taking inspiration from the Edwardian cornices and details that surround the space, weaving in locally sourced, decorative objects for an atmosphere that uniquely fuses the historical and modern.

The new flagship is the ultimate destination to embark on the Diptyque journey, housing the full product offering, including the new limited edition Holiday collection and coveted Decoration collection pieces exclusive to the boutique. The flagship will also offer a new location for the brand’s refillable fragrance service, private consultations and host exclusive events and services.

Diptyque fragrance experts will showcase their impeccable art of service in the immersive store, where luxury service-driven client experience is at the heart of the space, to guide each guest on a sensory journey of olfactory discovery with one-to-one fragrance fittings.

The Diptyque Sloane Street flagship boutique will be open from the 18th November 2022.

THE DUNCOMBE ARMS

ASHBOURNE

For the ultimate welcoming winter escape, look no further than The Duncombe Arms. Nestled on the Staffordshire, Derbyshire border on the edge of the Peak District National Park close to the beautiful River Dove, this welcoming country gastropub has a few extra secrets to be enjoyed.

Renovated and transformed during the pandemic, The Old Barn - which is just a stones throw from the pub - offers guests much more than just a room for the night. Boasting stunning chic accommodation for up to six people, this converted barn has been transformed into a luxurious country cottage to be enjoyed year round, and is perfectly suited for a cosy winter escape.

The accommodation comprises a large master bedroom complete with French doors opening out to the private garden, one double room and a single room that can be converted to a double with a guest bed. Upstairs, the open living space is beautifully designed with plenty of individual spots that allow you to sneak an hour or two with a book, read the papers and generally relax and unwind.

A large, comfortable living area is completed with a woodburning fire for the ultimate cosy night in, while the large, well appointed kitchen includes a fabulous electric range, dishwasher, and Nespresso machine along with all the other essentials, making for a great place to rustle up a hearty dinner for the family or enjoy a relaxed morning breakfast. A separate dining area allows you to make the most of your dining options, whether you cook for yourself, opt for a local takeaway or fancy a visit to the Michelin recommended pub next door.

With the private garden, you can enjoy an evening under the stars in the dedicated alfresco dining and BBQ area should the weather permit. And with a convenient side entrance directly out to the space which leads to the utility room complete with full sink and fridge space, you won't have to go upstairs every time you need

another drink or some more snacks. Just make sure you pack a nice thick coat for those colder evenings.

For those who want to enjoy a trip with their four-legged friend, there is also the dedicated ten bedroom Walnut House which has been newly built and provides accommodation for canine companions. Accommodating ten distinctive and unique bedrooms, this 'pub with rooms' aspect offers a country-chic style in boutique hotel fashion. Just a few steps from the pub itself, this accommodation is perfect for those looking for a luxurious country retreat with more of the comforts that a 'hotel' affords or if you want to enjoy the area but don't need the full experience of The Old Barn.

Whichever you choose, you will not be disappointed by the quality of the design and finish. Everything has been perfectly curated to create warm, welcoming spaces to be enjoyed by all. And the convenience of being so close to the pub means you can make the most of the indulgent menu during your stay.

Continuing the warm, welcoming theme from the accommodation, this is a classic country pub that has been finished in beautiful fashion. Modern style is perfectly amalgamated with traditional features and antique pieces to create a unique space that can be enjoyed throughout the day.

Named among the best dining pubs in the country, you can expect to enjoy some fantastic food. Mixing pub classics with more adventurous modern British cuisine, there are ever changing seasonal offerings and daily specials to enjoy showcasing the best local and seasonal produce alongside some of the best ingredients from around the country.

The Old Barn and rooms in Walnut House are available to book now. Visit duncombearms.co.uk for more information and booking. Please note that the pub is closed Monday - Tuesday.
