A swanky new clinic has opened in Manchester City Centre with a focus on aesthetics and wellness treatments. The clinic is already proving popular with celebrities, including Love Island stars, and beauty-focused locals, as well as those looking for wellness treatments to support busy and active lifestyles.
Clnq was founded by Mr. Reza Nassab - a consultant Plastic Surgeon. The first Knutsford CLNQ branch became popular with the Cheshire elite and celebrities.
Due to its popularity, last year, in 2023, a second CLNQ branch was opened in the newly developed Deansgate Square. The location is no surprise, as Deansgate Square has quickly become a buzzing hub of younger working professionals looking for a luxury life in the City.

Walking into CLNQ, you'd be mistaken for thinking you're in a five-star hotel or contemporary art museum. The interiors are exceptional, and have been designed with every fine detail in mind by Mr. Reza Nassab - something which can be reflected in the work done there.
The black marble surfaces contrast perfectly with the wicker feature wall at the reception space, while quirky pieces of artwork are dotted throughout. The staff at reception are warm and friendly, and ensure you're looked after at all times.
The treatments that are offered at CLNQ are medically and scientifically proven. Some of the innovative procedures offered include FaceTite, BodyTite and Morpheus8. There are also plenty of other treatments on offer for those looking something a little less invasive, or wanting a 'quick fix'.
Laser hair removal, microneedling and vitamin shots are amongst some of the more wellness-focused things on the menu. I visited the new CLNQ location on Deansgate Square to try it out for myself.
I was looked after by Dr. Kajal Babamiri. Although I had given Dr. Kajal an idea of what I wanted prior to my visit, before we went ahead with anything, we sat down together in a one to one consultation. She asked me exactly what I wanted, and I explained that I wanted my jawline to be a little more contoured, as it's naturally quite round.
Dr Kajal talked me step by step through my face, and explained which treatments would be best. I pointed out to my Doctor that I didn't like my nose, and was considering a spot of filler to lift it.
However, my Doctor advised against this, as I didn't need it. This is something that's hard to find in a lot of clinics - and a sure fire sign that there's expertise at play, which put me even further at ease.
We eventually opted for cheek and chin filler. I wanted my face to look more defined, but still natural, and I felt as though I was in the right hands.
From the moment we started, until the moment we did it, Dr Kajal talked me through everything she was doing, and kept me calm and collected throughout. The whole procedure was surprisingly quick and easy. I'm no stranger to fillers, and I've never really found them painful, but seeing a bigger needle than normal heading for my jawline, I'll be honest, I was a bit scared.
But, and I'm not just saying this - it was the most pain-free filler I've had yet, thanks to my Doctor's calm approach and astoundingly steady hand. Dr Kajal used the MaiLi Volume and Extreme fillers for a natural yet noticeable finish.
Each time she'd finished on one side of the face (we did cheeks first, and jawline last), Dr Kajal made sure to show me how it differed from the original, untouched look on the undone side of my face. When she showed me how much my cheek had completely lifted one side of my face - I was blown away. The results were immediate.
The same could be said for my jawline, which looked just as I'd hoped. Once the treatment was done, Dr Kajal talked me through the aftercare steps I'd need to take, and left me safe in the knowledge I could call the clinic if I had any problems or questions.
I was then taken to reception, where I quickly booked in a two-week follow up appointment to check on the results. Unfortunately, due to my busy schedule, I was unable to make it, but to be perfectly honest, I'm absolutely over the moon with the results.
My face healed quickly, and I feel much more confident in myself. While not everybody may agree with aesthetics and fillers, for some people, like me, they're a nice boost when your confidence is low.
I can honestly say I left smiling, and with a spring in my step. I will definitely be returning for a HydraFacial session for a healthy glow sometime soon.
