BEAUTY Face facts Your face is your fortune, as the saying goes – so if you are considering any anti-ageing treatments you must be sure to choose the best practitioner. Middlesbrough’s own Dr Rashpal Singh is at the very top of his game… D r Rashpal Singh has every reason to celebrate. Just recently he was chosen as one of four experts from the UK to be mentored by the world’s leading cosmetic surgeon, Mauricio de Maio. This is a massive accolade for Middlesbrough-born Dr Singh who studied at Newcastle University and qualified as a doctor, GP and cosmetic medical practitioner as well as opening the stunning DRS Medispa in Linthorpe – a high-end clinic offering the very best in skincare and anti-ageing techniques. Already one of the most advanced cosmetic injectors in the country, this invitation really does single Dr Singh out as a leader in his field and the mentorship will allow him to pass on invaluable advice to fellow professionals. The significant growth and use of anti- ageing injectables won’t have passed Tees Life readers by, but the beauty of Dr Singh’s work is that it is undetectable. ‘’We offer a bespoke service to men and women to help them look their best in a very natural way without any signs of obvious treatments,” he says. “Good cosmetic work should be non-detectable and this really comes down to having a clear, in-depth understanding of anatomy and the function of the face, as well as how to inject to a high level. ‘’Feeling that they look tired is the most common reason people come to me, usually between the ages of 35 and 60. They may be showing the first or more advanced signs of ageing, but I will not treat lines. Treating a line has never made anyone look better, but by treating certain parts of the face I can make the patient look and feel their best. It’s a journey we undertake together.” Dr Singh has been in the industry for almost ten years now and has treated thousands of patients over that time, so he really understands how to achieve a natural, yet powerful result. However, it’s important to remember that not every procedure will suit every face. ‘’I always give each client a detailed and comprehensive assessment,’’ says Dr Singh. ‘’It’s also vital that I educate them on the ageing process. Far too many people say they want this or that done and it takes an honest doctor to say, ‘No’. I always put the patient’s best interests above everything else. You can’t look 25 when you’re 65, but you can look like the best and freshest version of yourself.” As befits a doctor at his level, Dr Singh is not cheap. “You will get people who are price-conscious and those who are quality- conscious,” he explains. “The quality- conscious will always opt for the best that they can get and they will come to me, because when you are spending money on your face, and your face is on show every day, then you want the best. “I’m proud to say that there are lots of experienced people out there who offer this service but there are very few who are national leaders.” [email protected] | Tel: 07921815545 | drrashpalsingh.co.uk DRS Medispa | 2 Oxford Road | Middlesbrough | TS5 5DT
