MEET WIRRAL’ S FLYING DOCTORS
Wirral Life talk to Wirral Doctor’ s Ian Jones and Sally-Ann Dolan on life, family and business.
Tell us a little about yourselves We are known in the clinic as Dr Jones and Dr Dolan but I am actually Mrs Jones! Ian and I both qualified locally to where we were born, Ian in Cardiff and myself in Liverpool( although I was born on the Wirral). I have worked solely on the Wirral since qualifying as a GP and a medico legal expert but Ian has been far more adventurous and has held posts in Cardiff, Newcastle, San Francisco, California and the Wirral, where he remains to date as a Consultant Endocrinologist. We live locally in Hoylake where we enjoy a busy and hectic family life. The family is so important to us and we ensure we always maintain a happy balance between work and family.
You have both achieved so much and run your own business SDS Rejuvenate which offers non-surgical aesthetic treatment, what inspired you to start SDS Rejuvenate? Having attended an introductory training session on the botulinum toxins and dermal fillers we were inspired and intrigued, so attended an advanced training course and several conferences. We found aesthetic medicine fascinating and just wanted to know more. Our first clinic was in Rodney street but we soon saw the potential of having a clinic on the Wirral. We opened our doors in Banks Road, West Kirby in May 2013 and within 3 years we had outgrown the available space. Being able to purchase the property next door enabled us to establish SDS Rejuvenate Medispa which now has six spacious clinic and treatment rooms. As we offer an extensive range of beauty treatments and stock several ranges of skin care products, people who step into our clinic do not feel that they are necessarily coming in for aesthetic procedures buy may be undergoing many other treatments. We love our business and thoroughly enjoy working together. We have an incredible team supporting us and we actually think of the girls as extended family, not employees! It is easy to get up in the morning, as we regularly say it ' s just " not like going to work "- we relish the day ahead and the exciting challenges that might face us and the interesting people we will encounter. It ' s not a job- it ' s a privilege.
What are your most popular aesthetic procedures? Anti-wrinkle treatments are top of the list but dermal fillers are a close second and probably our favourite procedure to perform. It is very rewarding to see an instant result and even more so when the patient sees the instant lift and enhancement. Treatments with dermal fillers allow us to combine our artistic and creative attributes with our medical expertise- we both loved art in school! Ian’ s favourite procedure is treating lips. Using dermal filler we can replace volume that has been lost naturally or we can improve asymmetry.
PlexR is a relatively new treatment in the UK, and is referred to as‘ soft surgery’. We can achieve the same result using PlexR
