Mala McAlpin Renowned Cosmetic Nurse, celebrity injector and expert on ageing gracefully, Katherine Millar-Shannon, is thrilled to announce the opening of the opulent new Duquessa Clinic in Melbourne’s prestigious Kew Junction Tower.
“We are bringing the future of cosmetic enhancement to this grand old inner city dame,” says Katherine, who has stamped her elegant style on the luxurious new space, which is decked out in Duquessa’s signature mauve, blush pink and gold with lavish Coco Republic designer furnishings.
“The luxe interiors are a visual reflection of the infallible Duquessa ethos: elegant, classic beauty,” says Katherine. “We’re totally redefining the way women approach ageing. It’s largely about prevention, but also about subtle enhancement. We all want fast, easy and effective treatments that require no downtime and we now have the incredible technology to work that kind of magic.”
This latest venture adds to Millar-Shannon’s impressive portfolio alongside operations in Sydney and the Gold Coast.
“As well as treatments in Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast, I also travel to regional locations, such as Leongatha and Wagga Wagga. It is life-changing, gratifying work and I want women all over Australia to experience the extraordinary benefits.”
With over two decades experience as a nurse and midwife, Katherine is one of the few cosmetic nurses in Australia qualified to consult, prescribe and treat clients on-site and her reputation as a nurturing, patient-centred practitioner precedes her.
Among Duquessa’s signature treatments are ‘baby boosters’ lip injectables, Brow Lift, Neck Lift, Thermage, PRP Vampire Facials, Vitamin IV treatments and fat-dissolving double chin treatments.
“We currently work closely together with ophthalmologists so that patients who have had their vision corrected can also experience the benefits of a cosmetic enhancement. It’s amazing to witness the change in people’s confidence when they look and feel younger,” says Katherine.
To compliment the new clinic launch, Katherine has also created her own signature range of teas, maintaining that an adequate amount of hydration, sleep, and a clean diet are essential accompaniments to any beauty treatment. “Herbal teas are a wonderful way to support all three of these daily essentials, which is why I created my own organic and caffeine-free blends that can be enjoyed at all times of day,” says Katherine.
The Duquessa Tea Collection consists of three unique blends, to improve complexion, digestion and sleep quality. The Collection is available exclusively at Duquessa Clinics.
