Ever wondered why everyone in Berkshire is so damn good looking (*stares at camera Ben Stiller Zoolander style*)? Most probably because they visit Reading’s secret weapon – Aspire Clinic, an aesthetics specialist discreetly tucked away on the third floor of the Madjeski Satdium.

Opened by Jane O’Neill, a former nurse with a wealth of medical experience, she wanted to bring the Harley Street experience to Royal Berkshire, offering face, body and skin solutions. When you step out of the lift, the clinic looks and feels like a boutique private hospital. Reassuringly clinical, with decorative touches that make it feel welcoming. The fact it is so discreet is also an absolute winner in our book. Let’s be honest, we all love the compliments, but no one has to know you’ve had a helping hand (unless you want to tell them). Shhh! Don’t worry your secret is safe with Muddy.

So what’s on offer? Well a lot, actually. Aspire is big enough to offer choice but small enough to lavish you in client care. There’s a comprehensive list of non-surgical aesthetic treatments including one to combat the car crash of child birth to give you a brand new noo. Plus wrinkle-smoothing injectables; dermal fillers; lip fillers; micro needling to rejuvenate the skin; Profhilo injectable skincare where pure hyaluronic acid is injected into the face, neck or hands to hydrate, firm, plump and give a healthy glow; scar and tattoo removal and more. The clinic also offers CoolTech procedures including body contour, cellulite blasting, double chin reduction (they’d have their work cut out on mine, but bon chance), and fat reduction.

I’ve had the HydroFacial which is like a deep cleansing facial that also lavishes your skin with hydrating hyaluronic acid for a mega glow (read the review here) and I’m currently part way through testing the non-surgical Phoenix Facelift. Watch out for the review shortly. I am nothing but thorough. The friendly expert team always conduct a consultation before starting any treatments, payment plans are available and there’s free parking.
