BLOKE’S BEAUTY<br />

As a freelancer, I’ve covered a lot of genres during the last<br />

decade; from rugby to pig hunting, fishing to tractors. Topics<br />

all well within my comfort zone.<br />

BY STEVE HALE<br />

I’ve never shied away from embracing new<br />

experiences, but a Day Spa treatment was a<br />

definite step into the unknown.<br />

As far as misguided stereotypes are concerned,<br />

I wouldn’t have considered myself<br />

the ideal Day Spa client. A quick shower and<br />

can of Lynx are generally all I use to prepare<br />

for a big night out.<br />

Welcomed to Pamper Me MediSpa in<br />

Thames by owner Pauline de Thierry, I<br />

was immediately put at ease by her bubbly<br />

personality and sense of humour. A former<br />

prison officer and freezing worker, Pauline’s<br />

business acumen has seen Pamper Me MediSpa<br />

collect annual industry awards in New<br />

Zealand and Australia.<br />

HAMILTON RADIOLOGY<br />

Offering unparalleled care and expertise<br />

Hamilton Radiology is the Waikato’s<br />

largest private medical imaging facility.<br />

My programme<br />

included a MANskin<br />

and MANicure<br />

experience; 60<br />

minutes which not<br />

only invigorated and<br />

educated me, but<br />

also changed the way<br />

I think about caring<br />

for my skin.<br />

First my skin was<br />

examined in detail,<br />

in a multi mirrored<br />

imaging device<br />

called OBSERV.<br />

Then came the “the pen of a thousand<br />

needles”, also known as microneedling. The<br />

thankfully painless process stimulates collagen<br />

production.<br />

Up next was the Enzyme Facial. As product<br />

was applied and the mask hardened, the<br />

muscles of my face pulsated for 20 minutes<br />

as the enzymes went to work stimulating circulation<br />

and pumping minerals to my skin.<br />

And while this was happening; a manicure<br />

on my neglected hands. No topics are<br />

taboo with therapists, so any questions about<br />

blackheads, whiteheads, lumps, sun damage,<br />

wrinkles, saggy skin or manscaping are<br />

answered professionally, with humour and in<br />

layman’s terms.<br />

Surprisingly relaxed and comfortable<br />

throughout, the most valuable appreciation<br />

I gained was that skin, just like muscles,<br />

requires regular attention to ensure its structure<br />

and function can support long term.<br />

Years of working under the hot sun, lying<br />

on the beach or reeling in the big ones out<br />

in the boat, takes a toll on the skin. Just like<br />

your truck needs regular service and attention,<br />

so does your epidermis.<br />

With the latest medical imaging equipment and a<br />

highly trained, experienced team of technical staff and<br />

14 local radiologists, we offer an unparalleled standard<br />

of care and expertise.<br />

Appointments are essential for Ultrasound, CT and<br />

Mammograms: Please phone our freephone 0800 426 723<br />

No appointments needed for plain x-ray films, all referrals<br />

accepted. Ultrasound after hours appointments<br />

available on Tuesday evenings.<br />
