Pigmentation Removal


pigmentation image Cheshire treatment laser


At Cheshire Lasers Clinic we are often asked: “How can you remove my pigmentation?”

There are many types of pigmentation with lots of different causes; some can be treated more easily than others. At Cheshire Lasers, we also have many different treatments that can help you.

The way we treat your pigmentation is based on:

  • It’s cause
  • Your skin type
  • Most importantly; your preferences

How do I decide which Pigmentation treatment to choose from?

At Cheshire Lasers, we offer a wide range of pigmentation removal products and treatments. This makes it hard to decide what to do.

Some treatments work quicker and are better than others. However, these treatments also tend to cause more side effects, more downtime and are more aggressive.

The gentler treatments tend to take much longer to work. You, therefore, have to be patient and make sure you follow the recommended treatment protocol.


Why have I got Pigmentation?

Your skin gets its colour from a pigment called melanin. Special cells called melanocytes in the skin make melanin. When these cells become damaged or if they are activated for any reason, it affects melanin production.

Pregnancy, Addison’s disease, sun exposure and some medication such as the combined pill can all make your skin darker.

Your genes often have something to do with your pigmentation with some of us being born with freckles. If you have a darker skin tone such as Asian, Mediterranean or African, you are usually more prone to pigmentation problems.

You are also more prone to pigmentation if you have had excessive sun exposure.

Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation (PIH) can arise if your skin is chronically inflamed – it can be common in people who battle with dermatitis/eczema, acne and Addison’s disease. PIH can also occur after a single episode of trauma.

Once you have pigmentation, you can treat it and reduce it.  You can also prevent it by wearing very high sun protection and avoiding harmful sun rays. However, treatment does not usually mean you will be free of it forever. Pigmentation generally will always come back, if you continue with the same lifestyle.

If you have problem pigmentation often lifestyle measures and maintenance treatments are required to keep it under control.


At Cheshire Lasers, Pigmentation Removal Treatments are provided by:

Dr Teri Johnson

Dr Teri Johnson uses the topical prescription systems provided by The Obagi NuDerm system or ZO Skin Health Medical System for moderate to severe pigmentation problems. She also uses the popular Cysteamine Cream, which is her first choice for moderate to severe pigmentation problems in darker skin or with Melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

 

Natasha Tavernor, Level 4 Laser / IPL Technician.

Natasha uses IPL and sometimes the ND Yag to treat pigmentation with our Lynton Lumina ASQ system.

She also uses Cysteamine Cream, an excellent home treatment for specific skin types and problems. Natasha also uses the ZO Medical system for pigmentation problems. However, she is only able to recommend Skin Health products.  The ZO Medical topical products are available on prescription only.

Natasha also performs various facials, peels and resurfacing treatments (listed below) designed to improve mild to moderate pigmentation.

 

Aesthetic Nurse Moira Grobiki

Moira performs the Perfect Peel, a moderately aggressive peel that can help moderate pigmentation problems.


What do I do if I want pigmentation removal at Cheshire Lasers?

We recommend an initial consultation with one of our specialists for pigmentation problems before starting any treatment.

It is helpful to know what sort of treatment you are interested in so we can book you with the right person.

If you are considering starting any pigmentation treatment, ensure you are not planning sun exposure for the next few months. If you go out in the sun, you will need to cover the area with a very high factor of sun protection and keep the area covered.

The sun will stimulate pigmentation and undo the results of your treatments. It can also increase the risk of complications in your treatment.


During your consultation

We will examine your skin, take a medical history and help you decide on the most suitable treatment for you. We will also discuss the risks, costs and recovery period associated with the procedures you are considering.


Treatments for Pigmentation Removal at Cheshire Lasers:

Treatments for Mild Pigmentation:

We have a wide range of treatments available to help mild pigmentation such as the BioRePeel, phFormula Mela TreatmentsBlue Radiance Peel, ZO Peels, Hydrafacial, Dermalux light and Microneedling. We tend to recommend these treatments if you have other skin concerns that the treatment will also address or if the pigment is very pale and is not of any concern.


Treatments for Problematic Pigmentation:

At Cheshire Lasers, the following treatments are the most effective for problematic pigmentation.


IPL and Laser

Age spots, pigmentation caused by sun damage and freckles respond nicely to our advanced IPL Lumina system. Our IPL treatment is fantastic for small spots and patches of pigment. If the response is poor, we can use the ND Yag laser instead.

This treatment is usually only suitable for skin types 1 to 3.

Before starting treatment, we may recommend you use a lightening skin product from one of our skincare product ranges 2- 6 weeks before starting an IPL or Laser treatment. This is often required for skins that are darker or are more prone to pigmentation.

For IPL and Laser treatment, please book a consultation with Natasha, our laser technician. She can advise how to proceed and if you are ready to go ahead with the treatment, she can do a test patch at the time of the consultation.


Cysteamine Cream

Cystamine is a skin-lightening agent used to treat hyperpigmentation disorders such as age spots, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. 

This novel treatment is a highly effective alternative to prescription treatments such as hydroquinone and tretinoin. It can be used in all skin types, including dark skin and is a great option for stubborn pigmentation, including melasma and post-inflammatory pigmentation.

Find out more about Cysteamine Cream here.

To discuss Cysteamine Cream book a consultation with Natasha or Anna here.


Prescription Lightening Products

We can also treat pigmentation with topical prescription products. At Cheshire Lasers, we use the famous Obagi NuDerm system or the ZO Medical System. Created by the same doctor, they both give fantastic results as long as you have the patience to use them.

These systems give fantastic results with Melasma; even after a few weeks use, the pigment usually looks so much better. You need to continue on the system for 18 weeks, after which your skin usually looks great. After 18 weeks, you must go on to a simpler maintenance regime to avoid rebound pigmentation. If you suddenly stop the treatment, the pigment usually comes back. Occasionally stubborn Melasma may need a peel to complete the treatment on this system.

For Prescription products, book with Dr Teri Johnson for a consultation.


The Perfect Peel

Some people prefer to treat their pigmentation with a peel. This is usually recommended if you have large areas of pigmentation. The advantages of the perfect peel is the minimal downtime compared to IPL and lasers, and the process is pain-free.
After one application age spots are remarkably lighter and many people are happy. However, a course of 3 peels may be required for stubborn pigment or if you want the pigment to be unnoticeable.

The ingredients not only improve pigmentation but also increase collagen and elastin production, resulting in skin that is brighter and tighter. Find out more about the perfect peel here.

The Perfect Peel can be used on its own for Melasma in fair-skinned patients. Peels should be used very carefully for darker skin types and often a combination of treatments are required as they are associated with a risk of post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation after any skin injury. Hence a consultation is required before having this peel.

For the Perfect Peel, please book a consultation with Aesthetic Nurse Moira or Dr Priyanka.


Find out more information about how to treat different types of Pigmentation conditions here.


Preventing Pigmentation

The challenge of treating Melasma and pigmentation is that it commonly relapses after treatment.

The most important way of preventing pigmentation is to wear good sun protection all year round and a sun block in the Summer.

Try and avoid any other triggers that may stimulate the problem.

To prevent Melasma and stubborn pigmentation returning maintenance therapy is required. You can opt for repeat treatments once the pigment has returned. However, we usually recommend selected topical skin care. If you start it immediately after treatment with regular reviews at the clinic in case your regime needs changing, we can help you manage the pigmentation to reduce the risk of it returning.

For a more holistic approach, there is increasing evidence that diet has a significant impact on skin inflammation, post-inflammatory acne, and Melasma. If you struggle with pigmentation and can not get it under control. We highly recommend an assessment with Dr Priyanka at Cheshire Lasers to look at your Pigmentation, your removal treatments so far and to explore this holistic approach.

Skinade


What is Skinade?

Skinade is a drink. It works from the inside out to rebuild and strengthen the collagen matrix below the skin’s surface. It also boosts natural levels of hydration and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Developed by leading UK scientists and manufactured in the UK, its patent-pending formulation contains high-grade collagen and essential micronutrients.

It contains high-grade collagen sourced from freshwater fish, which is low in sodium and avoids mercury contamination. It is a precious ingredient and 7000mgis included in each bottle.

Skinade contains only the highest quality ingredients with no artificial flavours or colouring and fewer than 35 calories. With natural flavours of peach and mangosteen, it offers a pleasant tasting and convenient addition to your daily skincare regime.

Drinking Skinade on a daily basis results in firmer, more even-toned, hydrated, radiant, youthful and healthier-looking skin. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles and repairs connective tissue. So you’ll also benefit from stronger, healthier and faster-growing hair and nails.


How does Skinade work?

Traditional anti-ageing products only function on the surface of the skin, skinade works from the inside out. The advanced formulation of low molecular weight collagen and essential micro-nutrients work synergistically to nourish your skin and promote a more youthful, glowing and radiant complexion. Hydrolyzed collagen helps the body form new collagen structures. It provides the amino acid building blocks and also stimulates the production of new collagen, elastin and moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid molecules.


Why is Skinade in a drink?

If you were to try to take Skinade’s ingredients in tablet form, you would need to swallow around twenty large tablets daily. Not only is this difficult, but the body also finds them tough to digest. The valuable nutrients would pass through your system unused instead of being absorbed by the body.


skinade middlewich cheshire


What are the benefits of Skinade?

After completing a Skinade course, many consumers have reported the following results:

  • Improved skin hydration and radiance
  • Reduced appearance of lines and wrinkles
  • Increased skin suppleness
  • Healthier looking hair and nails

Individual results will vary but, with continued daily use, your skin will continue to improve.

For best anti–ageing results we suggest a 90-day course.

 


skinade middlewich cheshire

 


Skinade contains the following high-quality ingredients:


Hydrolysed high-grade Marine collagen 

Sourced from fresh-water fish, low in sodium and avoiding mercury contamination. 7000mg in each bottle.

Vitamin C 
Essential for natural collagen formation and maintaining the collagen matrix. It also provides vital protection for the skin by boosting the immune system and reducing free-radical damage. It contains 450% of our recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C as calcium ascorbate without which fibroblasts proliferation cannot occur.

MSM

MSM is a naturally occurring form of organic sulphur found in all living organisms. It helps collagen and keratin formation, improves skin elasticity and inhibits cross-linking of collagen cells, a major cause of skin ageing.

Vitamin B complex

Riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3) and biotin contribute to the maintenance of normal skin health. Vitamin B2 also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Folic acid and vitamin B12 play a role in the process of cell division. The vitamin-B complex promotes more uniform, clearer, glowing and radiant skin.

Omegas 3 & 6 
Sourced exclusively from organic flaxseed oil that plays an important role in balancing dry and oily skin.

L-lysine

An essential amino acid that is key to rebuilding the collagen matrix at a cellular level.


How do I use Skinade?

Drink one bottle of Skinade a day.

You will soon discover that taking a 360° approach to your skincare will leave your skin feeling smoother, firmer and stronger.

You can buy Skinade in a bottle or in a convenient 15ml sachet. So now you can fly with skinade.

CACI Jowl Lift


CACI Jowl lift at Cheshire Lasers


The CACI Jowl Lift has been developed to target muscle laxity around the jawline. It aims to improve the appearance of sagging jowls by lifting and firming facial contours to help achieve a natural, younger look without discomfort or downtime.


What is CACI?

CACI stands for Computer-Aided Cosmetology Instrument and is a system used for non-surgical facelifts. CACI treatments involve using micro-current energy, which is transmitted to the skin and muscles, stimulating increased muscle tone and collagen production. This leads to a lifted, firmer and refreshed appearance.


What is a CACI Jowl Lift?

The CACI Jowl Lift facial uses Quad Probe applicators designed to double the lifting action of the standard CACI treatment system, thereby enhancing results and reducing treatment time. These Probes send tiny electrical impulses into the lower half of the face and the upper neck area to tone the muscles, improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and redefine facial contours.

There is also a unique serum in the Quad Probe tips, this contains a powerful skin-firming formula to maximise the firming effect.


Before and after a course of CACI Jowl Lift Treatments

before and after CACI Non Surgical Facelift Jowl Lift Middlewich Cheshire


How long does a Jowl Lift Treatment take?

This CACI Jowl Lift takes only 15 minutes to perform. This is due to the Quad Probes specifically developed to target the muscles around the jawline.

At Cheshire Lasers, we recommend you schedule 30 mins when booking your owl Lift appointment.


Does it Hurt?

The CACI Jowl Lift treatment is completely painless, although some clients may experience a slight tingling sensation due to the micro-current or a metallic taste, which is perfectly normal.


How many treatments do I need?

The number of CACI Jowl Lift treatments needed may vary according to an individual’s needs. Cheshire Lasers recommends a course of about ten treatments over five weeks for best results.


When will I see results?

Results will be seen throughout the course. However, these are often short-lived at first. By five treatments, you usually start noticing improvements in your skin’s tone and texture. You will then see gradual improvements in the jowl as the muscles start to firm and tighten.


Do I need maintenance after the course?

A monthly maintenance session will help maintain results and your new and improved muscle tone.


The CACI Jowl Lift is a stand-alone treatment, but you combine it with one of our other CACI Non-Surgical Facelifts.


Am I suitable for any other Jowl Treatments?

You can also combine this treatment with other Jowl treatments to enhance the results. Find out about Cheshire Lasers’ other Jowl Treatments here.

Hyaluronidase


hyaluronidase treatment to dissolve lip dermal fillerCheshire Lasers provides Hyaluronidase Treatments, also known as Hylase Treatments, to dissolve Dermal fillers.


Whats is Hyaluronidase?

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid. It is a prescription-only treatment which is also known as Hylase.


Which Dermal Fillers can Hyaluronidase can dissolve?

It works best on Dermal Fillers, which consist primarily of hyaluronic acid. The enzyme hyaluronidase quickly gets to work by breaking down the filler just a few minutes after injection, which is then broken down and removed within a few hours. However, it can take a few days to see the final result.

Dermal Fillers that can be dissolved with Hylase include:

Hyaluronidase is ineffective on Radiesse, Ellansé, Artefill, Silicone, Sculptra or other non-HA fillers.


Who performs the Hyaluronidase treatments at Cheshire Lasers?

All the specialists that provide Dermal Fillers at Cheshire Lasers Clinic have Hyaluronidase training so they can dissolve the filler they inject should a problem occur after treatment.

The following Specialists also perform hyaluronidase treatments for patients who have had treatments elsewhere.

Moira of Jouvence Aesthetics

Aesthetic Nurse Moira can only treat patients who have had treatments performed by other practitioners if the practitioners who performed the treatment makes a direct referral. The referral must include a full medical history, the type of product injected, the amount injected and where it was injected. The batch number and expiry date must also be included.

Katey Moulton of Nevaeh Aesthetics

Aesthetic Nurse Katey is trained and insured to remove Dermal Fillers with Hyaluronidase in the lips, perioral area, nasolabial fold and marionette area.


What does a Hyaluronidase Treatment involve:

The enzyme is injected the same way as any other injectable treatment, either with a needle or a cannula. The effects can be seen after several minutes, but it takes a few days to see the full results. Hyaluronidase is not new, it has been used by doctors for injections for years, most commonly to assist the spread of local anaesthetic solutions.


Does Hyaluronidase treatment hurt?

The treatment is a little uncomfortable, similar to other injectable procedures.

To minimize discomfort, we use a topical anaesthetic to numb the area before the injection.

We can also inject it with lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, to numb the area during the procedure.


How many Hylase treatment sessions will I need?

Sometimes you may only need a single treatment. This depends on the type of dermal filler we are dissolving and the volume we are trying to remove.

If you require further treatment, we prefer to leave at least five days between sessions to allow the first treatment to work fully.

Sometimes we may need to use Hyaluronidase in an emergency to prevent a complication such as a vascular occlusion. In this situation, we repeat the treatment every hour to restore circulation.


Which areas can Hylase treat?

The most common requests at Cheshire Lasers for hylase treatment are to dissolve lip fillers and tear trough fillers. These two areas are more prone to dermal filler migration, which can cause a poor cosmetic outcome.

Most areas treated with hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers can be treated with Hylase, including:

  • Lips fillers
  • Migrated lip fillers
  • Tear Trough fillers
  • Nasolabial lines
  • Perioral lines (smokers’ lines around the mouth)
  • Chin fillers
  • Cheek fillers
  • Under eye area

Are there side effects of Hyaluronidase filler dissolving treatment?

There are very few reported side effects with Hyaluronidase.
The commonest side effects are bruising which is usually minimal, and swelling.

Localised allergic reactions to the enzyme can occur. For this reason, we will book you in for a consultation and a patch test at least 24 hours before the procedure.

If you are allergic to bee venom or suffer anaphylaxis, you are more likely to react to Hyaluronidase. We do not recommend Hylauronidase unless the benefits of treatment significantly outweigh the risks.


How do I book a Hyaluronidase treatment at Cheshire Lasers?

After Dermal Filler Treatment at Cheshire Lasers

If you want to dissolve a dermal filler after treatment at Cheshire Lasers, please contact us. We will book you a consultation with the doctor/nurse who performed your treatment to assess your needs and advise you further.

After Dermal Filler Treatment elsewhere

If your dermal filler treatment was performed elsewhere, and you would like it dissolved, we usually recommend contacting the practitioner who performed it.  They will know the quantity of filler in each area and the type of filler.  With this knowledge, it is much easier to perform a treatment. All medical aesthetic practitioners should be able to provide this treatment if performing Dermal Fillers.

When a dermal filler treatment goes wrong, we understand that sometimes you may not want to return to your original practitioner. It can also be difficult when you move and your practitioner is too far away. In these circumstances, please get in contact.

To book a consultation to dissolve your Dermal filler with Hyaluronidase please email cheshirelasers@hotmail.co.uk

Please let us know as much information as possible about your treatment. It is helpful to know the product used, the location of the injections and the quantities at each injection site. This information will help us give you the best possible advice to help you achieve the best outcome.

This information will also help our client coordinators decide who would be the best specialist to help you. If your problem is difficult to treat, we can signpost to an expert in dealing with more complex problems.


How much does a Hyaluronidase Treatment cost at Cheshire Lasers?

Our Specialists all have their own price lists.

Generally, expect to pay between £250 and £500 for this advanced procedure.


Can you Dissolve my Dermal Fillers any other way?

At Cheshire Lasers, we also provide Topilase as an alternative to Hyaluronidase treatment. Topilase is a topical treatment for the correction of superficial hyaluronic acid dermal filler just under the skin.

Topilase was developed to dissolve and remove superficial filler placed in the lips and tear trough areas however has since been used successfully in other areas.

You can find out more information about Topliase here.


 

Reiki


Reiki Middlewich Treatment Cheshire

 


At Cheshire Lasers, Reiki Treatments are provided by:  Sharron Roughton and Tara Shotton


What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that originated in the early 20th century. It aims to promote healing by channelling energy through the practitioner’s hands to the recipient, either through light touch or by placing the hands just above the body. ​

Reiki, pronounced ray-key, means ‘universal life force’ and refers to the energy field surrounding everything in our universe. Energy flows through channels in our bodies and if one’s channels become blocked or our energy is low, then we are more likely to feel the effects of stress.

Reiki can help improve any illness or condition and is particularly useful in relieving stress, depression, anxiety and pain. It is also an effective method of inducing deep relaxation and maintaining a balanced state of well-being. A Buddhist monk from southern Japan started to use Reiki in the 1920s as a spiritual healing technique. We all have a personal energy field made up of a system of connected ‘chakras’ around our bodies, and when they’re balanced, we’re physically and emotionally healthy. If they become blocked or unbalanced, it impacts our well-being. Reiki practitioners, or masters, can summon and direct good energy (happiness and calm) to replace ‘bad’ (anger, stress, and frustration), in turn restoring health and wellbeing.

Find out more about Reiki here.


What happens during a Reiki Treatment?

You lie down, fully dressed, and a reiki master places their hands very lightly on or just above to guide positive energy into your body. They don’t diagnose or offer cures but channel positive energy to improve physical and emotional issues. Some people experience a tingling sensation; others feel warmth or a cooling effect. In the main, it’s a relaxing experience.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It can be useful in helping virtually any illness and always creates a beneficial effect. Reiki also works in conjunction with other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. It is a spiritual healing treatment aimed at bringing about gentle balance and wellbeing.


Reiki may be beneficial for the following:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Emotional balancing, self-esteem
  • Sleeping problems
  • Relationship problems
  • Coping with changes in life
  • Pre and post-surgery
  • Trauma, grief
  • Pain
  • Mental, emotional, physical and spiritual healing
  • Side effects of medications and treatments

 

Reiki is very relaxing. During treatment, the practitioner will place their hands either on or off the body at specific treatment points.

A Reiki treatment lasts for approximately 60 minutes.

Reiki can be adapted to help most medical conditions. It is used safely to help people of all ages, including pregnant mothers, newborns, surgical patients, the frail and the elderly, in any situation.


ReikiFlex

Reikiflex is a relatively new combined treatment of Reflexology and Reiki. It offers a deeply relaxing complementary therapy to balance mind and body physically and spiritually.

This safe and unique treatment is aimed at those wishing to experience calming and spiritual therapy.

Being complementary, Reiki & Reikiflex work effectively alongside orthodox healthcare and natural remedies, expanding treatment options.


The Following Specialists perform Reiki at Cheshire Lasers:

Tara Shotton on Thursdays

Endymed Facial Tightening


endymed skin tightening radiofrequency


At Cheshire Lasers Endymed treatments are performed by our Aestheticians.


The Endymed 3DEEP Facial Tightening system can treat the eyes, face, jowls and neck areas with a three dimensional tightening and contouring treatment that provides deep, volumetric dermal heating using radiofrequency technology.

The Endymed DEEP Facial Tightening is a safe, FDA aproved, clinically proven system for treatment of facial wrinkles and skin tightening. Virtually pain-free, the Endymed DEEP Facial Tightening treatment is ideal for smoothing wrinkles, tightening and firming the skin and lifting facial and neck areas. It also has a special eye piece for targeting the hard to reach skin, around the eyes.

After a course of treatments you can enjoy tighter, younger looking skin with improved skin tone, texture and elasticity.


Is the treatment effective?

Yes – Endymed unique 3DEEP technology uses a unique form of Radio Frequency (RF) which is different to other RF machines. State of the art medical device engineering has enabled multiple sources of electromagnetic energy to work simultaneously and in synergy in the skin delivering a controlled, focused and deep heating that results in predictable and excellent clinical skin tightening results. Importantly Endymed 3DEEP RF delivers these clinical results without pain or down-time and with an excellent safety profile for all skin tones and colours.

View our suppliers before and after images.


How does Endymed DEEP Facial Tightening Work?

A form of energy called RF is applied to the skin to gently heat the skin, promoting accelerated collagen production and contraction of collagen fibres to restructure and tighten the skin. Endymed 3DEEP provides a focused and deep heating of the skin without pain. The 3DEEP unique and patented technology has multiple electrodes, multiple RF sources and a sophisticated phase control which works to drive the RF energy deep into the target tissue in the skin, comfortably and safely.


What happens during an Endymed DEEP Facial Tightening Treatment?

Our Aesthetician will cleanse your face and apply a thin layer of gel. An applicator that delivers the RF current is moved in circular motions over the skin and the skin will heat up. Our Aesthetician will treat each area until the desired temperature is reached and it is maintained for 2 to 3 minutes. Typically each treatment session lasts 30 to 45 minutes.


View a video of an Endymed DEEP treatment in our Clinic:


Am I suitable for Endymed DEEP Facial Tightening?

Endymed DEEP Facial Tightening is suitable for most individuals.

However, if you are pregnant or breast feeding, treatment is not advisable. If you have metal work in the facial area, please discuss this with us further. Simple filings and dental implants are usualy not a problem but metal work inserted following facial fractures and metal braces can be a problem.


What should I expect after treatment?

Your skin may be pink for a short time after treatment but this will subside quickly. You will not need any special after care. However we will still recommend SPF to block shows harmful UV rays.

Immediately after treatment, the contraction of collagen fibres improves skin elasticity and the skin may appear firmer. However, the benefits are progressive and you will not see the full results until 2 to 3 months after a series of treatments.


How many treatments do I need?

For best results you will need a course of 6 to 8 treatments every 10 to 14 days.


How does the treatment feel?

The Endymed treatment is not painful – most people actually comment on how pleasurable and relaxing the heating sensation is! Treatment is comfortable due to the unique, technology of Endymed DEEP Facial Tightening.


Are there any side effects from Endymed Treatments?

Side effects are extremely rare.
Slight, short term discomfort can occur, this is usually easily tolerated. Oedema (swelling) and erythema (redness) can occur, but will disappear within a few hours.


Consultation Procedure Prior to Treatment

On arrival at Cheshire Laser you will also be asked to complete a medical history form. Our Aesthetician will assess you and confirm your suitability for treatment.  She will then go over our consent form for you to complete, if you decide to have a treatment.
