History
Established in 2014.
A business that began in the spare room of Carly Bartram's Mickleover home has expanded into a specially designed, four-room clinic in Littleover and she is taking on three staff members.
As a child, Carly loved playing 'beauticians' and as a teenager she was always volunteering to paint her friends' nails and apply face packs for them. Beauty continued to be a hobby until she began professional training in 2004. After working in salons across Derbyshire, she started to pursue her ambition to run her own beauty business.
She went through rigorous training with Lumenis to become fully-qualified in operating it and, within a month, Carly was fully-booked. She re-branded her business as the Avance Clinic and began looking for new premises.
Working hard to raise her profile on social media has also been a factor in Carly's success. That, and her commitment to ongoing training and growing her business.

It was in 2004 that Carly began her professional training and she has never stopped learning and developing her knowledge and skills since then. After working in salons across Derbyshire, she set up her own licensed beauty business so that she could be in control of delivering only the best services and world class customer care.
Carly explained: "Talking to my clients, I realised that unwanted hair was a major misery for many of them and they longed to find a safe, effective solution that saved them time in their busy lives.
"My research convinced me that the award-winning Lumenis company offered the gold standard in laser hair removal. I trained with them and also learned that laser technology could treat dozens of skin conditions."
After becoming a laser hair removal specialist, Carly invested in the Lumenis M22 laser, which can deliver remarkable improvements to skin texture and appearance.
Word of mouth and personal recommendations have led to a rapid expansion of her business a
