Stewart White said the property
was being sold as ‘vacant possession’
– with both the garden
centre and café moving out in
the near future.
He said there was the potential
that the site could be redeveloped
into a suburban shopping hub
– with Ferry Rd being the main
arterial route linking the CBD
with the Sumner, Mt Pleasant,
Ferrymead, Lyttleton and
Woolston.

traffic-usage figures show some
23,500 vehicles are driven past
the property on an average week
day. Many of those are suburban
commuters.
“It has also been mooted that
the location could be transformed
into an industrial-themed hospitality
hub capable of sustaining
between three and five individual
outlets operating under one roof,”
Mr White said.

electric buses
THE COUNTRY’S first fully
electric bus service will be
plugged into Christchurch early
next year.
And if the roll-out is successful,
they could make their way to the
city’s hill suburbs.
Red Bus has purchased three
electric buses as part of its commitment
to gradually introducing
new innovative technology across
the public transport service.
The new buses, which will be
delivered by next March, will
be used on the direct service
route 29 between the CBD and
Christchurch Airport which
carries more than 200,000
passengers annually.
Red Bus chief executive Paul
McNoe said it is interested in the
potential for wider use of electric
buses and will be testing the new
buses on other routes – including
hill suburbs – once they have settled
into service.
“Based on current use of a similar
electric bus design in Sydney,
Canberra, London and China
we’ll be able to use them all day
without needing a re-charge.”
He said the buses will also
have environmental and health
benefits.

Veterinary practice
EXCITING NEW TECHNOLOGY
AT MCMAsTEr & HEAp VETs
Veterinary science is an ever changing,
progressive and exciting field to try to keep
abreast of. Over the past year Steve and I
have invested in an Ultrasound machine
that is of human quality and we also have
digital radiography, which is amazing. Now
I can zoom in on joints and bones to look
for a lesion. We are also moving very shortly
to a new in house laboratory system which
will allow us to perform many more blood
tests in clinic.
Recently we made the
huge leap to change
our veterinary software
system and integrate
a digital system for
patient monitoring,
both our intensive
care, hospital and
surgical patients,
therefore getting
rid of pen and paper completely. Our old
system had served us well for 15 years but
it was high time to go “cloud based”. Last
week we went “Live” with EzyVet software
and actually its not as difficult as I thought
it would be. I’ve learnt you just need an
open mind as any old dog can learn new
tricks. Its actually been quite fun.
prescription foods, arthritic medications
etc. Once we get going with the system we
will have ipads out at reception for you to
electronically consent to a procedure and
update your details for us. Our database will
be more accurate and it will speed up the
process.
Once you have consented to a procedure,
your pets details and what its in for gets
transferred digitally to the treatment
area and goes up live on one of our TV
monitors. As certain tasks are completed
like blood tests, radiographs, sedations
given, then the TV monitor ticks these tasks
off. Its been quite hard resisting a paper
chart but we have less clutter and mess
and more accurate means of recording
every little detail now.
I’m really proud of how our 20+ staff have
embraced this challenge and tried hard to
learn all the features these new systems
have to offer. Last
Tuesday I had two
knee surgeries in dogs
to do and Jaimee
my nurse managed
the ipad monitoring
and charting so well.

ambulance to St John
A NEW ambulance
with improved interior
layout has been donated
to St John by Generation
Homes.
The new Gen 3 ambulance
is the latest model in
the St John fleet which has
a layout to allow ambulance
officers to work more
efficiently and comfortably
when treating patients.
Named after Generations
Homes, the ambulance
was gifted in a dedication
ceremony recently and will
be stationed where needed
in Canterbury.
St John relies on the
support of individuals and
businesses for funding to
provide it’s vital community
service.
Generation Homes
Christchurch has prioritised
giving to St John
since its beginning with a
long-term goal to donate
an ambulance.
The company has
donated for almost five
years and is approaching
$100,000 in donations to
St John.
South Island fundraising
and marketing manager
for St John Debbie Pipson
said the ambulance is
proof of the impact a single
business can have on
keeping their community
healthy.
“By donating lifesaving
equipment, Generation
Homes is helping ensure
people receive highest
quality care when needed
most.”
Shopping hub mooted
the EzyVet software system, therefore
freeing up our time considerably.
Our field is so challenging and exciting and
there is always something new to consider
having to improve the level of service we
can offer. Steve and I have got big plans
in the next 12 months to build onto our
existing Vet Practice, therefore offering
more services to our clients and providing
more space to our ever growing database
of clients and their pets. We will keep you

hoping by the end of this year.

Mr White said that
under this prospect, the
substantial Ferry Rd site
could either be leased to
multiple stand-alone food
and beverage operators, or
sustain one sole-operator
creating several uniquely
themed non-competing
spaces under a ‘one roof’
destination.
Examples of this hubstyle
configuration include
the highly-successful Ponsonby
Central hospitality
destination in Auckland’s
Ponsonby Rd, or the
recently opened Press Hall
in Wellington’s Willis St,
which contains 12 independent
eateries.
However, Mr White said
the future of the site was
hard to pick.
“Most obviously, this
property is an opportunity
for an existing retail gardening
supplies operator
in the market to either
relocate their existing operations
into a well-known
purpose-built destination,
or for a new entrant into
this sector of retailing to
establish a garden supplies
retailing business entity on
the site.”
The Ferry Rd buildings
are predominantly timber
framed based on concrete
floors and foundations,
with exposed pitched
beams and rafters and
corrugated iron roofing.
The property is surrounded
with security fencing, while
an expansive tar-sealed car
park has parking for about
47 vehicles.
“The structural
configuration and open
plan layout of the building
complex means it could
also be a turnkey site for
a hardware and home
building supply outlet
– with the potential to
quite easily add new
warehousing space.”

How a rose register is protecting our heritage
GIFTING A former Maori
burial ground to
local runanga is an
ill-considered act of
privatisation, says
the Purau Residents
Association.
There have been ongoing
discussions about
returning ownership and
management of Purau
Maori Reserve over the
past century and in December
last year the local
hapu Ngati Wheke asked
the city council to explore
the option.
A city council report
supporting the transfer
was tabled at a Banks Peninsula
Community Board
meeting last week.
The report gave two
options, one of which
would reclassify the land
from recreation reserve to
historic reserve.
The second and preferred
option was initiating a process
to revoke the reserve
status, enabling the city
council to then consider
“returning the land to Te
Hapu o Ngati Wheke.”
But association spokesman
Thomas Kulpe questioned
whether gifting the
land was the right step.
While it was understandable
the runanga
would seek ownership, he
said, it was only because
the city council had “done
nothing” to recognise
and protect the area from
inappropriate use such as
eating, drinking and playing
games.
He wanted the reserve
fenced off immediately –
something that “should
have been done years ago.”
“I want to see it reclassified
as an historic reserve
and I want to see proper
recognition of our common
history by the city
council,” said Mr Kulpe.
The whole of the Purau
area had history which was
not just “private to Maori”
but a common, shared history,
he argued.
“To rob ‘Peter’ (of a
public reserve) and hand it
to Maori just because Ngai
Tahu has a lot of political
influence is not right,” said
Mr Kulpe.
He raised doubts about
the veracity of information
supporting the land transfer
from the city council
to Rapaki Runanga – the

modern day representative
of Ngati Wheke.
Rapaki representative
Yvette Couch-Lewis said it
wasn’t appropriate to comment
at this time.
The supporting information
in the city council
report was “biased, incorrect
and has omissions,”
Mr Kulpe said, questioning
the archeological evidence
cited. It was written by Te
Hapu o Ngati Wheke and
is a summary of historical
information that was included
in a cultural values
report commissioned by
the city council last year
at the recommendation
of Mahaanui Kurataiao
Ltd, an advisory company
set up to represent the
interests of six Ngai Tahu
Runanga.
The report was left on
the table while the board
seeks clarification of the
issues raised by Mr Kulpe.

Robin
by dave Itzkoff
From New York Times culture reporter Dave Itzkoff, the definitive biography of Robin Williams
- a compelling portrait of one of America’s most beloved and misunderstood entertainers.
From his rapid-fire stand-up comedy riffs to his breakout role in Mork & Mindy and his
Academy Award-winning performance in Good Will Hunting, Robin Williams was a singularly
innovative and beloved entertainer. He often came across as a man possessed, holding
forth on culture and politics while mixing in personal revelations - all with mercurial, tonguetwisting
intensity as he inhabited and shed one character after another with lightning speed.
But as Dave Itzkoff shows in this revelatory biography, Williams’s comic brilliance masked a
deep well of conflicting emotions and self-doubt, which he drew upon in his comedy and in
celebrated films like Dead Poets Society; Good Morning, Vietnam; The Fisher King; Aladdin;
and Mrs. Doubtfire, where he showcased his limitless gift for improvisation to bring to life
a wide range of characters. And in Good Will Hunting he gave an intense and controlled
performance that revealed the true range of his talent.
Itzkoff also shows how Williams struggled mightily with addiction and depression - topics he
discussed openly while performing and during interviews - and with a debilitating condition
at the end of his life that affected him in ways his fans never knew. Drawing on more than a
hundred original interviews with family, friends, and colleagues, as well as extensive archival
research, Robin is a fresh and original look at a man whose work touched so many lives.

is taken to a Danish border checkpoint and from then on his war becomes secret, even
from those he loves best.
In 2017, a recording emerges, showing Levi in 1945 and revealing a story in equal parts
shocking and heroic. It is a journey that leads him face-to-face with Hitler, and into a
position to change the final outcome of the war.
Levi’s War follows on from the enthralling historical novels The Keeper of Secrets and
Rachel’s Legacy, this time tracing the story of the eldest Horowitz son. Whether you’re
discovering Julie Thomas’s books for the first time, or making a return visit to the saga of
the Horowitz family, Levi’s War will leave you utterly breathless.
Mind That Child: A Medical Memoir
By dr Simon rowley
‘There is always a baby for whom you can feel happy at what they have achieved, or sad
when things go wrong. There are always parents to help through an incredible journey . .
. I am, I know, a very lucky man.’
Leading paediatrician Dr Simon Rowley has committed almost all of his working life to the
care and wellbeing of children.
In Mind That Child, Rowley provides a rare glimpse into what it means to be entrusted
with the most precious of responsibilities - a young human life. Charting his decades
of medical experience, Rowley touches on an array of issues, from the high-stakes
management of tiny pre-term babies to the serious impacts of drugs, alcohol and
technology on developing minds. Real-life cases and practical advice are interwoven
throughout a candid, compassionate narrative.
What’s revealed is a tender and profound portrait of a medical professional at the very
centre of what matters - a doctor who always adopts a humane, holistic view and who
writes openly about the personal impact of a career in medicine.
A must-read for any parent and a wonderful insight into the high-pressure medical world.

Urumau bike tracks to stay or go?
Reserve plan
rejected again
• By Sarla Donovan
AN UPDATED development
plan for Lyttelton’s Urumau
Reserve has been rejected for
the second time.
The sticking point is whether
some mountain bike tracks in
the reserve should be removed
or retained.
The Banks Peninsula Community
Board first considered
the plan on April 16 but sought
clarification
on the legality
and compliance
of tracks
within the reserve
and their
environmental
impact, along
Jed
O’Donoghue
with traffic
and parking
issues.
A new report
presented to the board last
week said advice from the city
council’s legal team was that
tracks can develop over time
simply by people repeatedly using
a particular area.
But it appeared city council
staff had “worked with (reserve
management) committee members
on track alignment and the
like” in the years since the 2008
plan was approved, said the
report.
It concluded the Urumau
mountain bike tracks complied
with design guidelines and
standards, there was no increased
sedimentation run-off
caused by the tracks, and they
avoided native planting sites as
much as possible.
But the board again backed
away from adopting the plan
and has asked the committee
to meet with an independent
facilitator to decide whether to
close any tracks before the plan
is adopted.
The report noted that city
council ranger staff were “aware
of the, at times, fractious nature
of the committee.”
It said discussions and
decisions about the mountain
bike track network made at
committee meetings were
often “poorly formalised and
subsequently poorly recorded in
the minutes.”
Tracks can only be removed
UNDECIDED:
The future of
current and
proposed
mountain
bike tracks
in Urumau
Reserve is still
up in the air.
by the board as part of the
development plan process and
before final adoption.
Board member Jed
O’Donoghue said it was
important to get the plan right
because, once adopted, it would
have to go before the full city
council if any tracks needed to
be removed.
“We want to be very clear
about what is and isn’t going to
stay there and want everybody
to be comfortable with that.”
Mr O’Donoghue said no date
had been set for the meeting.

LOCAL RESIDENTS are being
invited to muck in and help
transform Beckenham Te Kura o
Pūroto’s outdoor area by planting
a large number of native trees on
June 16.
Alongside the community,
the TREEmendous team will
convert an unused area of the
school’s grounds into an outdoor
classroom.
The school plans to create
an outdoor learning space that
children can interact with and
learn about the environment.
Their new classroom will
include a magnetic wall, large
birds nests made of logs and a
range of play equipment for the
children to engage with.
The school, which was affected
by the February 22, 2011,
earthquake, and lost its library
to a fire in 2012, hopes the new
learning area will inspire a love of
nature in the children.
The Bugman Ruud Kleinpaste
will also be there to teach
students about the bugs found in
gardens.
Planting will begin at 8.30am
and a barbecue lunch will be held
from noon.

Conquering Everest at
home raises $3720
• By Sarla Donovan
MT PLEASANT woman Heidi
Anderson has raised $3720 for
the Himalayan Trust.
The fitness instructor last
month walked and biked the
height of Mt Everest on the Port
Hills – 8848m over 31 days – to
raise money in support of the
trust’s work.
She also held a movie night
and raffle at the Hollywood
cinema in Sumner, which combined
raised $1700.
Over the course of the month,
Ms Anderson walked up Mt
Herbert in a time of 3hr 26min.
She said she nearly turned
back after walking into a field of
extremely vocal cows.
“I heard them 10min before
I saw them. It turned out they
were more frightened of me
with my walking pole. The challenge
got me through otherwise
I’d have been back after 45min,”
she said.
Ms Anderson also hiked
Purple Peak in Akaroa, ran up
plenty of stairs and did a lot of
cycling on the hills.
She was thankful for all those
who had supported her in completing
the challenge.
The Himalayan Trust was
founded by Sir Edmund and
Louise Hillary in the 1960s to
bring better educational and
medical facilities to Nepal.

Shellfish limit long-standing
CONCERNED: Stephanie
Hampson’s research into
the health of shellfish in the
estuary may prompt a review
of daily catch limits.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
THE SHELLFISH catch limit
in the Avon-Heathcote Estuary
hasn’t changed since 1986.
Researcher Stephanie
Hampson has found that cockle
numbers had fallen dramatically
between 2012 and 2017.
A Ministry of Primary Industries
spokesperson confirmed the
current limit has been in place
since the Fisheries (Amateur
Fishing) Regulations were set in
1986.
Ms Hampson said the combination
of poor nutrients in
the water and pressure from
collecting was responsible for the
serious decline in numbers, from
around 400 per sq m five years
ago to between 50 and 80 per sq
m in some areas.
She said the results indicated
the catch limit of 150 cockles per
person per day was too high and
needed to be reduced or even a
ban put in place.
An MPI spokesperson said
they would be interested in learning
more about the results of Ms
Hampson’s research once it had
been reviewed.
It was not currently aware of
any concerns being raised about
the estuary.
“In key areas where we are
aware of concerns regarding the
sustainability of cockle harvesting
we commission surveys to
estimate the health of cockle
beds. If there is cause for concern
a range of management tools are
available.”
Shellfish take limits varied
throughout the country and
reflected the “best available information
on what is sustainable,”
said the spokesperson.
In some areas the limit is a
result of local area management,
such as within mataitai fishery
reserves or taiapure – local
fisheries such as Rapaki and
Koukourorata mataitai on Banks
Peninsula.

Pokie machines – suburb by suburb
• By Bridget Rutherford
AVONHEAD, Sockburn and
Upper Riccarton had the highest
spend on gaming machines in
the city for the first three months
of the year.
The suburbs, which are clustered
together in the Ministry of
Internal Affairs’ latest statistics
from January to March, have 72
non-casino gaming machines in
four venues.
The total gaming machine
proceeds for the three months
was $1.56 million.
The venues included Avonhead
Tavern, Bush Inn Tavern, Racecourse
Hotel and Monteith’s on
Merrin St.
Although the clustered area
had the highest spend, it did
not have the highest number of
machines.
The most pokies were in the
area of North New Brighton,
Parklands, Waimairi Beach and
New Brighton, with 117 at seven
venues.
Gaming machine proceeds for
that cluster was $1.44 million at
Chats Bar and Cafe, Endeavour
Tavern, New Brighton Working
Men’s Club, The Wave, The Turf,
The Bower and Queenspark Ale
House.
Harewood, Merivale, Redwood,
Belfast and Kainga also
had 117 machines at Coasters
Tavern, Highway Inn, Papanui
Club, Redwood Hotel, Waimakariri
Tavern, The Peg, Belfast’s
Robbie’s Bar and Bistro and The
Elmwood. The spend was $1.5
million.
Christchurch Central, Linwood
and Phillipstown saw a
spent of $1.39 million at the 87
machines, while Bishopdale’s 54
machines saw proceeds of $1.36
million.
The figures come as a new
system, called Guardian, is being
trialled in 15 bars and clubs
nationally, which scans faces of
people who enter gaming rooms.
It then checks them against a
cloud-based database of people
who have voluntarily excluded
themselves. If there is a match,
staff would be alerted and could
ask them to leave.
As of March, there were 1334
non-casino pokie machines in
Christchurch and Banks Peninsula.
From January to March in
Christchurch and Banks Peninsula,
punters spent more than
$19 million on non-casino gaming
machines.
During that period Lyttelton
and Akaroa had the least machines,
with 34 at three venues
and just $187,458 in proceeds.
BIG
SPENDERS:
From January
to March,
more than
$19 million
was spent on
non-casino
gaming
machines in
Christchurch.
Latest Ministry of Health
statistics show from July 2016 to
June 2017, 879 new clients sought
help for gambling problems in
Christchurch – 10.5 per cent of
the national figure.
There were 1207 clients who
sought help in total.
The Salvation Army Oasis
national operations manager Lisa
Campbell said it supported 129
people in Canterbury last year
who were harmed by pub and
club pokie gambling.
“We also did brief interventions
with another 128 people
who were harmed by pub and
club pokies.”

Salmon return to Heathcote River
after work to improve water quality
• By Stacey Bryan
SALMON ARE returning to the
Heathcote River after years of
work to improve water quality.
The discovery was made
during The Mother Of All
Clean Ups, an annual event that
attracts hundreds of volunteers
to remove rubbish from the city’s
rivers.
Environment Canterbury’s
pollution prevention adviser
Nick Moody said the chinook
salmon appeared to have
spawned up stream and then
died, which is the natural cycle.
The Ōpāwaho Heathcote River
Network, city council and ECan
are two years into a five-year
project that aims to improve the
water quality of the river.
Mr Moody said it was
encouraging to see the fish
were choosing to breed in the
Heathcote, even in the middle of
the city.
“If the eggs survive . . . then the
next generation of salmon could
return from the ocean to breed
again in a few years.”
Salmon need clean
riverbeds to breed successfully,
so preventing erosion on
construction sites over winter is
essential.
Mr Moody said heavy metals
were also a concern. About
two tonnes of copper enter
Christchurch’s waterways
every year from car brake pads
and this is toxic in very small
amounts.
When a vehicle’s brakes are
activated, a small amount is
shaved off the pads and this is
eventually washed into the rivers
via drains.
NATURAL CYCLE: ECan’s Nick
Moody found a salmon redd
(nest) in the upper Heathcote
River.

Name sparks controversy
Heathcote
Ward city
councillor
Sara
Templeton
explains
the process
behind road
naming in
the city
THERE’S BEEN some
discussion within these pages
recently about the naming of a
new street in Heathcote Valley
– Kairuri Lane.
It’s clear from comments
that the city council’s processes
around road naming are
opaque, so I thought I’d have
a go at explaining them, using
this one as an example.
Under the city council’s
roads and right-of-way naming
policy, the names considered
for new roads must be requested
by the developer, who puts
forward three for consideration.
The community board is
then able to either approve a
name or not.
In this instance the developer
had requested that Reynard
Lane be approved by the
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board, but the
board had concerns that it
wasn’t in keeping with other
historic street names in the
area, so asked the developer to
present some other options.
He did and came back at the
following meeting with Reynard
Lane as his preferred option,
then Abney Lane (named
for an old surveying tool) and
also Kairuri Lane (the Maori
word for surveyor).
He had consulted with
Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd, a
resource and environmental
advisory group, which agreed
that the name ‘Kairuri’ was
culturally appropriate.
The word kai in this case is
used as a prefix to verbs and
stipulates the person of the
action. For example mahi
(work) is kaimahi/worker and
kōrero (speak) is kaikōrero/
speaker. Rūri is a translated
English word for ruler, so
Kairūri means surveyor. The
community board has previously
had concerns about the
road naming policy and last
year asked the city council to
review the policy to enable
better outcomes.
We were concerned that
CONCERNS:
The choice of
name – Kairuri
Lane – for a new
subdivision on
Bridle Path Rd
has attracted
controversy.
there is currently little resident
involvement and also that
it was difficult to encourage
developers to present Te Reo
names as options.
The city has very few
Maori street names, even with
the long historic connection to
the area and so this was one of
the issues that we took into consideration
when we approved
the developers’ third option.
I am hopeful that the review
of the policy will mean both
greater community involvement
in road naming processes,
especially in existing
communities, and a greater
recognition of tangata whenua.

OPENING

the 50 metre long main steel
roof truss for the auditorium was
recently secured into place.
02 The 1400 seat auditorium is
designed to be flexible and
configurable so different events
can be held simultaneously.
03 Looking out over Victoria Square,
Te Pae’s curved façade reflects
Canterbury’s mountain and
braided river landscapes.
Construction on Te Pae, Christchurch’s
new convention centre, is progressing
rapidly. This venue opens Christchurch
to the world. Having a central city facility
purpose-built for large-scale events allows
opportunities to promote our local strengths
and internationally respected expertise in
sectors such as primary production, earth
sciences, medical research and software
innovation, to an international audience.
01
Already we are expecting 3000 visitors
for events in the month of October 2020,
soon after Te Pae is scheduled to open.
Business event travellers typically
spend twice as much as leisure tourists
and ChristchurchNZ estimates
our city is currently missing out on
$90M in direct investment each year
by not having such a facility.
Christchurch has long been considered a
great city for hosting business events. Te Pae
will ensure we are once again able to welcome
visitors with an experience like no other.

a gathering place for the 21st century,
where locals and visitors alike come
together to share, learn, be hosted
and entertained. As well as holding
conferences and meetings, you’ll be able
to attend expos, public presentations,
galas and other special events there.
An iconic landmark in our flourishing
cityscape, influences of our landscape
are interwoven into the striking
building design, making it a physical
representation of New Zealand, our
culture and the stories of our people.

Injured hand doesn’t stop champ
Riverside boxer takes title
• By Jacob Page
RIVERSIDE BOXER Thomas
Hanford’s suspected broken
right hand didn’t stop him
winning a trophy at the South
Island Golden Gloves – but it did
stop him accepting it.
Hanford won the most
courageous youth trophy in
the event at the Cashmere Club
over Queens’ Birthday weekend,
as well as the under-64kg
youth open grade after beating
Waikuku’s Dylan Gibson.
Hanford was at the hospital
getting it looked at, which meant
his coach had to accept his
trophy. “The ringside doctor told
me it was broken but the x-ray
thankfully gave me the all clear,”
he said.
The 18-year-old, who has been
boxing for two years, said he

HEALTH & BEAUTY
Protect your face
during winter weather
The wind is howling outside, and your
face is taking the brunt of the winter
weather. Cold, chapped, dehydrated skin
is depleting your face of its moisture and
youthful glow.
Plus, with the high levels of chlorination
in the city water, skin damage has taken
place even though the levels
of chlorine are being lowered.
Too little, too late as it doesn’t
matter what age a person is,
the short-term effect on the
body’s skin has been harmful
especially on the face which can
tremendously benefit from the
ADURO LED Light Therapy
machine.
NASA uses LED light therapy
to heal wounds in space and on
earth, imagine what it can do
for your skin.
Acne a concern? As it thrives
in harsh environments like dry
weather or hormonal imbalance
and can be very painful and
uncomfortable, plus acne leaves
a person’s skin looking worn,
leather looking and scarred.
Charmaine and her team to
the rescue. With more than two decades
of experience behind them, the clinic
offers a variety of services including Teeth
Whitening, Anti-Acne, Anti-Aging, Age
Spots, Eczema, Psoriasis, Uneven Skin
Tone, Rejuvenation treatments and so
much more.
BEFORE
AFTER
Amazing results – before and after photos
supplied by a happy client, who has been
battling acne all her life
Their technical LED Light Therapy facial
machine is having astounding results by
infusing nourishment back into the skin
pores with the natural but active Mismo
skincare range.
For acne, the LED machine helps with
anti-bacterial treatments, which makes
puss pools smaller and smaller
over time, so the acne won’t be as
visible on the face. Then as soon
as the acne has started lessening,
switch to the Acne Anti-Scarring
treatment program.
The LED machine also triggers
the regrowth of collagen which
smooths out wrinkles and lessens
facial line severity, Age Spots &
Scars
In addition to the LED laser
machine, the clinic is expanding
its services and relocating to a
new facility in mid-June.
“The expansion and new
location is exciting. Our team
looks forward to providing these
new services to our customers
to enhance their lifestyle,” owner
Charmaine smiles.
“We appreciate our customer
loyalty and for the opportunity to serve
them as we started with the Sparklewhite
teeth whitening system, which we still
offer, and then expanded into the LED
Light Therapy and facial treatments and
now have expanded our beauty services,
products, and treatments at our new
location.”
