An aesthetic clinic focussed on "natural-looking enhancements" is opening in a Suffolk town, led by a teacher-student duo.
Adam Branch, 45, has opened an advanced medical aesthetics and skin care clinic in Clare.
He has joined forces with Mia Boorman, 30, who has previously established two branches of Derma Clinic Aesthetics in Norwich and London.
Miss Boorman was Mr Branch's teacher while he completed his training and they are now setting out on this joint venture.
"We got on really well while training and thought opening the clinic together would be a great idea," Mr Branch said.
The pair said they loved Clare as a town and couldn't wait to offer "a bit of everything" to local residents.
"We have packages to suit everybody," said Mr Branch.
"It's definitely not one size fits all."
There are a range of treatments on offer, including skin rejuvenation, scar reduction and anti-ageing treatments to replace the natural loss of collagen.
Mr Branch was an advanced clinical practitioner at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
He says he's always had an interest in skincare, particularly as he deals with wound care and scarring.
Mr Branch said: "We were looking for a premises for a good six months.
"It took a little while to find the right premises but I walked straight into this place in Clare High Street and instantly said yes."
Though he lives in Bury St Edmunds, Mr Branch says he has considered Clare to be a "beautiful place" since he was a child.
Mr Branch added: "This is an exciting new project, so Mia and I are putting a lot of faith in each other.
"We're aiming to slowly build our client base by word-of-mouth and recommendations, so we're definitely working on building trust first."
To those unsure of whether they'd like to give the aesthetic clinic a chance, Mr Branch encourages them to book in for a consultation before making up their minds.
He said: "We're all about making natural-looking enhancements, so please always get in touch to cover any concerns and talk through your expectations."
