The 26-year-old said: “I had an injection before I came on X-Factor.”

“My mum has permanent frown lines, it’s a genetic thing. I frown when I’m on stage and when I look back at tapes of myself I look really angry.”

“Someone suggested getting BOTOX® and I thought, “That’s a really good idea.” I have it when I feel like I need it.”

If you suffer from low self-esteem, The Hospital Group is waiting to help you, offering a host of anti-ageing solutions, including BOTOX®.

A new skin balm containing a new wonder ingredient prized by Pacific Islanders for hundreds of years is now available in the UK.

Leading cosmetic surgery provider, The Hospital Group, have used Tamanu oil to form an exclusive balm that can reduce the visibility of scars.

The sweet smelling luxury balm includes avocado, almond oil and evening primrose oil as well as the key ingredient Tamanu oil to create a super moisturising, indulgent balm, capable of smoothing the appearance of a variety of scars.

David Ross, Chief Executive at The Hospital Group, said: “Tamanu Balm is the latest in aftercare for cosmetic and bariatric patients. The main ingredient, Tamanu oil* has been proven to improve skin firmness, improve elasticity, reduce redness, roughness and the size and shape of scars. It has been pioneered by The Hospital Group, but can be used by anyone who wants to improve the appearance of scars.”

A tattoo is forever!

The latest fashion for having your partner’s name indelibly marked on your body has seen tattoo parlours expand massively. 

However, if a relationship breaks down, many come to regret the very permanant nature of a tattoo. 

Equally, a cute cartoon character may be really fashionable in your twenties, but less appropriate later on in your thirties or forties…

If, like certain celebrities, your tattoo is out of date and needs removing, laser treatment may be a solution for you.  

Laser tattoo removal/reduction treatments are exclusively available in our Dublin clinic. 

Every case is unique, but our experienced laser practitioner nurse can advise on what course of treatment is possible and what the likely results will be.

Actress Tina malone updates the Liverpool Echo, talking about her forthcoming wedding with 28 year old Paul Chase, her  5 1/2 stone weight loss and dental makeover with The Hospital Group, her plans for a family and hosting the Clapperboard Awards.

As leaders in the industry, the Cambridge centre has also been selected to house a training school for international surgeons. 

This move follows international expansion last year, seeing the group move into Spain and then the USA.  This year is expected to see further focus on the UK as demand for cosmetic surgery procedures increases .

In the run up to Christmas, The Hospital Group reports an increase in sales of gift vouchers.  These can be used on non-surgical treatments such as chemical peels or dermal fillers, but probably the most popular option is BOTOX® anti-wrinkle injections.

Gift vouchers can also be used on surgery – a smaller gift voucher is great for those saving up, but some extravagent people have bought enough for a whole procedure.

This summer, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace went under the knife for a second time to boost her boobs to an ultra-curvy 32FF.

And the Big Brother 7 housemate is so pleased with the results that when asked which celebrity body she’d most like to have, her answer is immediate.

“My own!” she grins.  “When I first saw my new boobs I thought ‘I’ll topple over’ But I’m so happy with them now!”

But Aislyene, 30, adds “I won’t go bigger, I don’t want to look like a blow-up doll”.

Aisleyne who lives in Surrey had her first breast surgery six years ago, going from a 32B to a DD cup.  But she was desperate to go bigger and was unhappy with the wide gap between her implants so 3 months ago she had a second operation, this time with The Hospital Group.  Aisleyne chose top-of-the range Natrelle breast implants by Allergan. 

What’s given Aisleyne a real confidence boost however, is the course of facial peels she had at the same time as her boob op.  Earlier this year, the reality star went through a difficult period writing her autobiography and the stress of recalling her troubled childhood caused her to break out in spots. 

“My skin was really affecting my confidence” she says.  “It stopped me going out and I turned down modelling jobs”.

Her surgeon suggested a series of mild peels once a week for a month. 

She says “I needed something dramatic to clear it up.  It tingled when the acid went on and my face felt tight and went a bit red, then 2 days later you get the peeling.  But the results were amazing.  Even the fine lines around my eyes have gone.”
