Hydro2 Facial

What is the Hydro2 Facial?

Do you love hydrafacial? but fancy something more? If so this new luxury facial may be perfect for you!

The Luxury Hydro2 Facial is the ultimate 5-star facial. It includes 7-technologies in total. It contains a hydrafacial treatment but also utilises 6 other technologies to deliver outstanding results for all skin types and concerns.

Using this device Cheshire Lasers can offer a range of different facials to deliver brightening, tightening, anti-ageing as well as clearing skin

The treatments are customisable to all skin types to meet all skin needs and vary from 30 to 110 mins.

Our Luxury Hydro2 Facial incorporates all 7 steps and is the ultimate pamper package.

Here are the 7 treatment technologies which can be incorporated into your Hydro2 Facial:

Treatment 1: The Hydro Deep Cleanse

Similar to the Hydrafacial this uses a combination of three solutions to cleanse and smooth the skin using an AHA & BHA based solutions. It hydrates and nourishes the skin infusing lactic, salicylic and hyaluronic acid to deeply cleanse, purify and hydrate.

Treatment 2: Exfoliation

This treatment step uses a vibrational cleansing tool and a choice of exfoliation products. It utilises ‘the Bohr effect’ to allow oxygen to be drawn into the skin. The active ingredients can include Kojic Acid and Retinol which result in a hydrating and brightening effect.

Treatment 3: Radiofrequency Skin Tightening

This step uses Radio Frequency technology to increase collagen reproduction. We recommend this step for skin with early and late signs of ageing.

Treatment 4: Skin Lifting with Electro-ion technology

The Electro-ion technology creates skin lifting by stimulating muscle contraction. It is similar to CACI and works well for jowl and eyebrow lifting.

It uses electroporation which also increases the absorbency of the skins cells for product penetration. This allows our time defence and brightening serums to penetrate deeper into the skin.

This, in turn, revitalises and ‘wakes up’ dull and lifeless skin

Treatment 5: Fire & Ice

5 A – The ‘Fire’ represents the heat element during treatment. The handpiece uses heat to open the pores, increase blood supply and aid product infusion.

5 B – The ‘Ice’ a Cryo facial that uses cooling technology, chilling the skin down to 5℃. This step comes at the end of each facial. It decreases the blood supply, giving a tightening effect and sealing in the infused products. It also helps to reduce any redness following treatment.

Treatment 6: Ultrasound / Hydration

This step uses ultrasound technology to infuse a hydrating collagen-rich serum from a mask for maximum penetration.

Treatment 7: Oxygenation

The Oxygenation spray is used to apply a hydrating serum. It creates a Venturi effect which breaks down the serum molecules and encourages maximum absorption. This helps to deliver intense skin hydration.

Applying oxygen to the skin using this method helps to increase cell metabolism and improve these concerns. Some bacteria are not able to live in oxygen, so applying oxygen to the skin will give this anti-bacterial effect, having a positive effect on congestion.

We can deliver a range of bespoke facials using these 7 technologies and can also add on Dermalux LED according to your requirements.

Check out this review from 2019 featuring Danielle Lloyd.

Check out the Singing Dentist experiencing his first-ever Deluxe Hydro Facial we think it’s hilarious.

Here is our feedback from our first treatment:

HYDROFACIAL – 5* ultimate facial!! Everything you could ever want in one facial! I’ve experienced many facials over the years, but this treatment absolutely blows everything else out of the water!! Highly recommended – it combines a traditional hydra facial with radio frequency (using a much improved and more superior machine), together with muscle stimulation and tightening (similar to a CACI facial – of which I’m a huge fan). It doesn’t stop there, my therapist Natasha continued the treatment with lots of anti-ageing and hydrating serums and a gel mask infused with collagen and antioxidants, which was stimulated using sonic vibration. The final stages were an oxygen facial and finally a cryo-facial. As I stated, this 5* facial combines absolutely everything!!

My therapist, Natasha was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, she explained every procedure and highlighted the benefits!!

The results are AMAZING, my skin is positively glowing and lifted! Definitely a red carpet treatment. Give it a try, I promise you, you won’t be disappointed

Fungal Nail Test

5 Minute Fungal Nail Test

Discoloured, Damaged, Thickened Nail? Is it Fungal or Not?

Samantha Hatton our podiatrist now offers a quick, painless and highly accurate fungal nail test within only 5 minutes of taking a nail sample!

This new clinical diagnostic test, developed in Japan has been brought to the United Kingdom by renowned Podiatrist, author and researcher, Dr Ivan Bristow.

This simple and effective Five Minute Fungal Nail Test is transforming the way foot healthcare professionals diagnose dermatophyte (fungal) nail infections.
Rapid Results in just a few minutes, whilst you wait.

What are the benefits of the Test?

No need to send your nail clippings to the NHS laboratory
No long waiting time for results, which may take up to 4 weeks via NHS
Detects the presence of all common fungus types from the smallest sample of nail
Immediate diagnosis, allowing us to initiate treatment without delay
Scientifically proven to give highly accurate and reliable results

What does the 5 Minute Test do?

The test confirms the presence of dermatophytes and thus fungal nail infection in a small nail sample by a process known as immune-chromatography. If the test is negative, then fungal nail infection is not present which mean the deformity is most likely due to other nail pathologies.

How accurate is the Test?

The Five Minute Nail Fungus Test has been shown to have an accuracy of 97% in published studies– meaning you can be confident in the test results.

How much nail do you need?

Due to the sensitivity of the test, only a small amount of nail specimen is required.

Is there reliable scientific evidence that the Test really works?

Yes, the Five Minute Fungal Nail Test has undergone rigorous testing and to date, a number of scientific publications documenting its success have appeared in the British Journal of Dermatology and the Journal of Dermatology.

Is the test accurate if I am already using anti-fungal treatments?

Yes, anti-fungal treatments have no effect on the result of the Five Minute Fungal Nail Test. This is unlike the usual mycology testing undertaken by the NHS, which can provide false-negative results when on anti-fungal treatments.

What is the cost of the 5 Minute Fungal Nail Test?

A 5-minute test is £40.

The price includes taking a small nail sample, performing the test and confirming the results. With your consent, Samantha can inform your GP of the test result if it is positive.

Ultra Brows

What are Ultra Brows?

Ultra Brows is a unique treatment for the ultimate well-groomed, high-definition eyebrows. The Ultra Brows eyebrow shaping procedure transforms how you look and, more importantly, how you feel.

Our Brows stylists assess your face shape and colouring before creating a bespoke brow tailored exclusively for you.

Using a combination of skills, from preparation and personal consultation to custom blending, designing, creating and tailoring the shape as well as customised aftercare, our brows stylists can transform a face.

The treatment consists of seven steps. This isn’t just shaping and tidying – Ultra Brows is eyebrow artistry.

The Ultra Brows 7 steps include:

Assess

Assess your face shape, colouring and natural brows to determine the best result for you.
Some clients can achieve the perfect Brow shape on the first visit, whilst others may need a few treatments and be advised to grow in more eyebrow hairs to get the best results. Ultra Brows can be thick or thin, dark or light, angular or soft – as we all different and we all have different ideas about how we want to look.

The aim is to give you the perfect bespoke shape and colour just for YOU.

Tinting

We tint all brow hairs, including some of the ‘fluffy’ ones around the brows, so that we have the maximum amount of hair to work with to get the best shape for you.

A high-quality tint rich in pigment gives longer-lasting results than traditional tints. We mix the tint according to your present colouring and desired result.

Waxing

We wax both above and below the brows to give a shape tailored to suit you best.

Threading

We use threading to remove the spare hair we don’t want around the brow area. Threading is also great for blending away telltale wax lines and ensuring smooth makeup application.

Tweezing

Tweezing is used to perfect your shape.

Trimming

We then trim any long hairs so that all brow hairs lie perfectly in their newly defined shape.

Design

Eyebrow makeup will be applied to create the perfect look you want to achieve.

We can also guide you how to create this look at home.

What is the difference between Ultra Brows and HD Brows?

HD Brows uses HD branded products that are slightly different from those we use for Ultrabrows. Therefore you would need a patch test before your treatment if you have had HD Brows treatment elsewhere. Otherwise, the results are similar, and you still achieve well-groomed high definition eyebrows.

Before and after treatment advice

To get the best results from your Brow treatment, it’s best to let your brows grow in for around four weeks before your first treatment.

Before your Brows treatment, you will need a patch test 24 to 48hrs before your treatment. It takes only a minute to do. Please call into Cheshire Lasers for a patch test. You will be asked to complete a consent form, and one of our team will perform the test for you.

To maintain your gorgeous new brows, you’ll need to repeat the Brows treatment every 3-6 weeks once your hairs have regrown and your colour has faded.

IMPORTANT:

Please don’t exfoliate the skin or use products containing AHA’s or fruit acids around your eyebrows for at least a week before and after treatment so as not to thin the skin and make it more sensitive to the waxing.
If you have taken Roaccutane or any other skin-thinning medication in the past, you must wait at least six months before having waxing on the eyebrows.

Reflexology in Pregnancy and Labour

Reflexologist Sharron Roughton specialises in supporting the Maternity Journey through Pregnancy and Labour.

A reflexology treatment during pregnancy allows you to relax and put your feet up. As your body undergoes changes physically, hormonally, and emotionally, reflexology will support you at every stage of your pregnancy. Reflexology offers you a sense of calm and relaxation and usually improves your sleeping.

Reflexology helps to relieve pregnancy symptoms such as back pain, nausea, insomnia, fatigue, headaches and swollen legs. Many women enjoy reflexology throughout their pregnancy to help them stay relaxed and prepare for their body changes and their new baby.

Some people also use it to encourage labour if they are near or past their due date. It’s thought that it may stimulate the release of hormones to encourage the body to get labour started naturally. Midwives and Health Care Professionals are warming towards the benefits of reflexology.

Always check with your Doctor or Midwife if you have any concerns about your pregnancy before starting treatments.

Key Benefits of Maternity Reflexology

- reduce stress, anxiety and improve sleep
- offers relief from sickness, heartburn, headaches
- reduces swelling of feet and ankles
- increases wellbeing
- helps improve body aches and circulation
- helps for a healthier pregnancy and labour.

EndyMed Jawline Shaper

Whats is the EndyMed Jawline Shaper Treatment?

Cheshire Lasers Clinic is excited to introduce the Endymed Mini Shaper.

This innovative handpiece has a unique concentric electrode surface, which provides focused 3DEEP Radiofrequency energy deep into the skin for maximum results. The Mini-Shaper is the most effective handpiece available today for treating the jowls and under the chin.

The Mini Shaper stimulates collagen production and increases fat cell turnover. This allows us to contour the jawline and deliver an effective tightening action to treat sagging, lax skin as well as improve tired, dull skin.

How does the EndyMed Jawline Shaper work?

The shaper handpiece delivers controlled radiofrequency energy delivery exactly where it needs to be. The radiofrequency energy penetrates the dermis down to 7mm which is much deeper than our other treatments. The Mini-Shaper offers nearly twice the power than other similar-sized RF treatment handpieces on the market. It also maintains tissue heat for long after the treatment is complete, providing extremely effective heating.

The heat energy stimulates existing collagen and encourages the production of new collagen to give tighter, firmer more lifted skin. It also focuses on fat cells which helps reduce the heaviness of the jawline to deliver an improved contour.

The following diagram demonstrates the treatment area:

How soon can I see results?

Results can be seen immediately but a course of treatments are required for the best long-term results.

The pictures here show the results before and after only one treatment. These results are short term and will improve and last longer after a course of treatments.

Who is the EndyMed Jawline Shaper Treatment suitable for?

This treatment is suitable for all skin types. We highly recommend it if you have heavy drooping jowls or have skin laxity and sagging under the chin.

Is there any downtime?

The EndyMed Jawline Shaper treatment is painless with little to no downtime. You may experience some redness in the treated areas, but this will subside within a few hours.

How many treatments will I need?

We recommend a course of six treatments for optimal results. Ideally, we like to book the treatments every 1-2 weeks.

Following the initial treatment course, we recommend one treatment every 2-3 months thereafter to maintain the best possible results. However, some people are happy with the results of a maintenance treatment every 3-6 months.

CACI Eye Revive

The CACI Eye Revive Treatment is performed by our Cheshire Lasers Aestheticians.

The new CACI Eye Revive treatment is a must-have for anyone concerned with ageing around the delicate eye area.

This gentle treatment:

Soothes tired, puffy eyes
Combats dark circles
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
Lifts hooded eyes

What is a CACI Eye Revive treatment?

The CACI Eye Revive treatment involves three steps.

Step 1:

This involves micro-current to gently tighten and tone sagging muscles around the eye area whilst reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Step 2:

The treatment then uses serum-filled CACI micro-current eye rollers to infuse the CACI Eye Revive serum deep into the skin. The roller ball is used to perform a drainage massage. The drainage massage helps to eliminate toxins around the eye area these actions help reduce puffiness and dark circles.

The Eye Revive serum contains REGU®-AGE and other clinically effective ingredients which, have been shown to reduce puffiness by up to 31% and dark circles up to 35%.

Step 3:

The deeply nourishing Hydro Eye Mask is then applied to soothe and calm the skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles further.
The Hydro Eye Mask feels and smells divine. The cooling sensation around the eyes is relaxing and leaves the eyes looking brighter and more hydrated. The mask contains hyaluronic acid, collagen, green tea and cucumber to help plump out fine lines and wrinkles.

Am I suitable for a CACI Eye Revive treatment?

The CACI Eye Revive treatment is suitable for all skin types and delivers impressive results to keep you looking fresh and revived.

How many Eye Revive treatments will I need?

Cheshire Lasers recommends a course of ten CACI Eye Revive treatments for optimum results. We also advise you to book the sessions close together; however, a one-off session is also beneficial and the perfect ‘pick me up’. It instantly wakes tired eyes and makes you feel vibrant and confident.

If you have a wedding or a special occasion coming up, a one-off will give a quick lift around the eye area. The perfect confidence boost!

It takes around 35 minutes per session. So you could have one in your lunch break and go back to work all revived!

At Cheshire Lasers, we often combine the CACI Eye Revive with other CACI treatments. The most popular combination is the CACI Jowl Lift with the Eye Revive.

Bereavement Counselling

Bereavement Counselling is provided at Cheshire Lasers by Noah

What is Bereavement Counselling?

Bereavement counselling is a specialist type of counselling that focuses on the loss of a special person in your life. It helps you work through the feelings of grief and together with your counsellor, you can work thought the overwhelming and often chaotic thinking that is associated with the loss of a loved one.

In addition to this, Jamie offers therapy specific to pet bereavement, as the loss of our beloved pets can be very traumatic to some and challenging to overcome. Here at Cheshire Lasers, no loss is too big or too small, and Jamie fully understands that any loss can lead to significant and long-lasting problems.

What are the processes of Grief?

Bereavement is one of the most difficult times in any person’s life, and it can catch us completely off guard. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, as it is a very personal process that affects each of us very differently. Many different emotions can be felt right after a significant loss, including:

numbness
shock
anger
guilt
sadness
depression
pain
longing
desperation

Unfortunately, there is no set timeline for this process and people can jump between emotions for months or even years!

The loss of a beloved family member, a friend or even a pet can lead a person into a long cycle of loss and grief that can feel overwhelming.

How can Bereavement Counselling help?

Counselling can be a place where you can try to make sense of the chaos that you are feeling. It is a place where you can be yourself and grieve in the way you need to without having to worry about how it may be affecting the loved ones that are left. You can talk openly about any of the experiences you are having in a safe environment. Talking to a warm and empathetic ‘stranger’ can be a hugely rewarding experience and may help you get to a place where you can remember your special person or pet in a way that brings joy to your heart and get beyond the sadness of your loss.

The grieving process is one of the most challenging times in a person’s life. However, in counselling, you can explore the emotional and practicalities of your loss, whatever the form. Working together with your therapist can help you find your new normal!

Reflexology for Pre-Conception Care

At Cheshire Lasers Clinic, Sharron Roughton provides Reflexology for Pre-Conception Care

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is based on the principle that certain reflex points on the feet are linked to different organs of the body. When the points on the foot are stimulated by massage, it is thought that this then stimulates the corresponding organ.

How can Reflexology help with Pre-Conception care?

Reflexology may enhance fertility by improving blood circulation throughout the body. This encourages the elimination of toxins from the body as well as aiding relaxation and reduces stress, all factors that may affect the body’s natural cycle and balance. Ultimately this can have a positive effect on wellbeing and encourage the body’s natural healing, and best possible conditions for conception to occur.

Reflexology can Enhance your general health in preparation for conception. Supporting you safely and effectively to enhance your natural fertility. Reflexology may help couples with fertility problems by strengthening the immune system, balancing the hormone production necessary for conception to occur. It also promotes good health and vitality in the reproductive organs, which includes helping to regulate periods, promote ovulation, reduce PMS, reduce the chances of miscarriage and also help increase sperm quality and quantity.

Fertility problems can be very stressful and a course of reflexology can also provide the relaxation needed to help return the body to its natural balance ready for parenthood.

Is Reflexology for Pre-Conception care just for women?

No, ideally, both the male & female partners would have treatments, particularly in the cases of unexplained infertility.

When is the best time to start Reflexology for Pre-Conception care?

Ideally, 3 months is the best time for couples to start preparing, as it takes this long to produce healthy sperm and 1 month for a healthy egg.

Does Reflexology for Pre-Conception Care Work?

Many women have found that the ancient art of reflexology can make a difference. Many believe that regular treatments helped them become pregnant.

In order to have the maximum effect, Sharron will take a holistic approach, in case anything else may be preventing pregnancy. Stress or worries at home or work, for example, can negatively impact the body’s equilibrium. Lifestyle factors—diet, exercise, and water intake—are also important.

Some years ago a Devon-based reflexologist, Jane Holt, was involved in the setting up of a randomised controlled research trial. The trial was undertaken at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth, ‘to determine the effectiveness of reflexology in ovulation induction’. Around 30 women, from a total of roughly 100, apparently became pregnant. Unfortunately, detailed results of this very small survey are hard to come by. Therefore anecdotal evidence is the best that we can do at present.
