Tried and tested …
LOVING The River Lee’s luxury aesthetics clinic KINS is backed by 20 years’ experience. It’s led by former GP, Dr Louise Smyth, who takes a holistic, refreshing approach, backed by science. Her goal is healthy, vibrant skin: “I want people to say my 60-year-old client is looking amazing for their age, not that she/he looks 30.” Treatments include advanced facials, microneedling and laser, plus exosome therapy and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections. The Fontona 5D Facelift laser targets volume loss and skin laxity. The River Lee’s KINS weekend package (from €715) means you can have supper sent to your room if you need “downtime” after a procedure. Facials from €250; rooms from €245.
