MEN are flocking to a North Wales clinic to have Botox injections and fillers, according to one of the stars of a hit series on S4C.
Ex-nurse Nayema Khan Williams, who specialises in non-surgical cosmetic treatments at her bases in Colwyn Bay and Y Felinheli, revealed the procedures have become increasingly popular for men in the past few years.
Nayema, from Caernarfon, was speaking alongside husband Osian after completing filming their contributions on the latest episode of Gogglebocs Cymru.
The show - where ordinary people voice their opinions about a range of television programmes - is broadcast on S4C on Wednesdays at 9pm.
According to mum-of-two Nayema, who the men who visited her Renovo Aesthetics clinics were mainly aged between 30 and 50.

She said: "Looking good is so important to my customers and they come from all over North Wales to see me, while some come from as far afield as London and even Dubai.
“We have quite a few male clients and they like to look after themselves and age gracefully like the women with Botox and they want a bit of that too. They don’t want to look old and this raises their confidence
"Everyone is different and they all have different reasons for wanting fillers.
“Some of them say they don't want to look old and want to put the ageing process on hold, at least for a little while. Some of them come on their own while others visit with their wives and partners.”
She and Osian have been regular contributors since the first series of Gogglebocs Cymru and the reaction to their appearances has been “very positive”.
Osian is a tennis coach and runs a club for aspiring champions at the Arfon Tennis Centre in Caernarfon.
He said: "It's led to us being recognised in the street more often and in shops as well.
“Of course, we live in the Caernarfon area, where many people speak Welsh, so it’s only to be expected, I suppose.
"I was in a supermarket in Bangor and a young student said she had seen me on Gogglebocs Cymru and one of the lads on the check-out added he thought it was me."
Gogglebocs Cymru is made by two Gwynedd-based television production companies; Cwmni Da, in Caernarfon, and Chwarel, from Criccieth.
