A former nurse has set up a skin treatment clinic near Ipswich and hopes to attract both men and women with her treatments.

Rosy Boulton’s new business is called Crystal Rose Skin Clinic, which she has based in a small home clinic at the end of her garden in the village of Witnesham.

She specialises in laser-based treatments for skin rejuvenation, anti-aging and permanent hair removal as well as treating over 30 skin conditions.

“I’ve worked in the NHS for over a decade and felt it was the right time now -I had the appropriate qualifications and savings to start a business,” said Rosy.

“I see opportunities for growth in the booming aesthetic industry serving men and women of all ages with their beauty and medical requirements.

She added; “Customers will be men and women of all ages. Particularly, I’d like to capture the male market - men who wish to be hairless and beautiful. I’d also like to hold private small parties for ladies to enjoy a treatment with their friends over a glass of bubbly

“The market is endless with a bit of imagination.”
