The Clooney Effect: Surge in Couples Seeking Pre-Wedding Makeovers

October 22, 2014 by Laura Casewell

A top London clinic that specialises in non-surgical cosmetic treatments has reported a rise in couples seeking pre-wedding makeovers after 53-year-old George Clooney and his bride Amal tied the knot.

The official wedding snaps have reportedly had brides-to-be asking for a flat stomach like Amal and grooms wanting smooth skin like George, according to cosmetic doctor, Dr Ohan Ohanes, from Swiss Care Clinic.

“Since the Clooney wedding hit the covers of magazines and newspapers across the UK we’ve had enquiries about body contouring and anti-ageing skin treatments,” explains skin expert Dr Ohanes.

“Patients were asking for ‘the Amal look’ but soon we started receiving a high number of enquiries from couples looking to emulate both of the Clooney’s flawless appearances,” he says.

The cosmetic doctor, who says the London clinic has seen a 150% rise in couples looking into non-surgical treatments like body contouring and dermal fillers, says his patients have actually stated George and Amal as their pre-marital makeover inspiration.

“Once you start getting enquiries from couples asking for treatments that emulate the look of a celebrity pair, there’s no doubt a trend is forming.”

According to Dr Ohanes, his female patients are choosing non-surgical fat reduction treatments to get Amal’s arms and flat tum, while gorgeous George’s smooth firm skin is appealing to the men.

“So far we’ve had couples choosing his-and-hers Exilis Elite fat reduction to shrink and sculpt certain body parts, especially the stomach,” he explains.

“We’re finding the grooms are more interested in anti-ageing facial treatments, which is something we usually associate with our female patients more.”

The Clooney Effect has swept the rest of the beauty world too, as Amal-inspired make up tips and hair tutorials based on her wedding style continue to take over the UK media.

“I’ve never seen anything like it to be honest,” Dr Ohanes concludes.

“We’ve had more couples enquiring about injectables and body shaping after the Clooney wedding than I ever had about Kim Kardashian and her enviable curves.”

Swiss Care Clinic is based in Palmers Green in London and specialises in non-surgical procedures and anti-ageing treatments.
