Dr Nyla Raja meets me cross-legged in the largest treatment room of her eponymous medispa. The lighting is cold and harsh — not quite as it would be in a hospital or Harley Street clinic, but enough to say this place means business.
Raja is the cosmetics doctor to the nought point nought one per cent: a dermatological Wonder Woman and Mayfair’s surgical siren. She opened her first clinic up north, among the bucolic pastures of Alderley Edge — the heart of Cheshire’s golden triangle — where her clients included Abbey Clancy, Coronation Street’s Helen Flanagan and practically the entire cast of The Real Housewives of Cheshire.
