We recommend the pHformula Facials for all skin types. They are perfect for delivering radiant, revitalised skin and can restore the skin’s barrier function.
The facials can be adapted to suit all skin types and needs, using various treatment options at each step.
They offer anything from mild exfoliation to more significant skin resurfacing.
We assess your skin sensitivity at each treatment to guide us on the right treatment for you.
How often should I have a treatment?
We recommend a treatment every 4 weeks.
However, if you need a skin pick-me-up, you can see some improvements after one treatment.
How do you Remove Semi Permanent Makeup and Microbladed EyeBrows?
At Cheshire Lasers, we use our Lynton Lumina Q Switched laser to remove semi-permanent makeup eyebrows and micro-bladed eyebrows. This is the same machine we use for removing conventional tattoos. Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove eyeliner or lip liner this way.
Can you Correct an Area Instead of Removing the Entire Brow?
Depending on your concern, we can treat small areas to correct your eyebrows, or we can treat the whole eyebrow.
How does Laser Semi Permanent Makeup Removal Work?
The laser cracks the semi-permanent makeup pigment tattooed into the skin to create smaller pigment particles. The body then breaks down these smaller particles and removes them slowly over time.
How often will I need Treatment?
We normally recommend a treatment every 6 -12 weeks. This depends on how quickly you want it to fade.
How Many Treatment Sessions Will I Need?
Most people need between 3-6 treatments. This will depend on whether you want the pigment to fade or go completely.
Unwanted Effects from Laser Semi Permanent Makeup Treatment?
The commonest unwanted reactions often seen after laser treatment of semi-permanent make-up are:
eyebrow hair reduction
a change in the colour of brow pigment
Approximately 10% of the eyebrow hairs can be destroyed due to the laser treatment. Although we move these hairs out of the way during the removal process to prevent this as much as possible. In most cases, these hairs grow back, but the outcome varies from person to person. Eyebrow hairs can also temporarily go paler, but you can tint these a week after the treatment.
The laser oxidises the pigment in the skin during treatment; when this occurs the pigmentation can change colour. Depending on the pigment, it can go darker in colour, or the colour can change to an orangey/rusty colour. Once the pigment is oxidised it can then be treated in subsequent treatment.
What Will My Brows Look Like After Treatment?
You may see frosting and whitening of the pigment immediately after treatment, it is also common to see some pinpoint bleeding and some swelling. The reaction usually settles after 1-2 weeks.
How long Before I can Have Further Semi Permanent Makeup?
After laser treatment, we recommend you wait 8-12 weeks before commencing treatment.
Please ask us the exact time we recommend you wait as this will depend on many factors.
How soon after my Brow Treatment can you remove my Brows?
It is common for us to get an enquiry a day a or two after a brow treatment. This may be because the results are asymmetrical, poor shape, too dark, or just a poor result.
Given that brows are central and frame the face, even minor technical errors can be impactful, leading patients to seek rapid corrective treatment.
Unfortunatly we need to wait a minimum of 6–8 weeks after the original treatment before commencing laser removal.
Why is this delay is necessary?
The epidermis must be fully restored to reduce the risk of blistering, scarring, and dyspigmentation.
Cosmetic pigments oxidise and settle over several weeks; treating too early can cause unpredictable colour shifts (e.g., red, orange, or yellow).
Swelling and erythema post treatment increases the risk of adverse effects.
Brows often appear darker for 7–14 days post-procedure; premature removal may be unnecessary.
How Much is Laser Treatment of Semi Permanent Makeup?
Profhilo Structura is an exciting new treatment that regenerates the superficial fatty tissue under the skin. In the same way that Profhilo restores skin cells, Structura restores the tissues in the adipose layer of the skin to give a lifting, contouring effect. It is the first and only treatment available in 2024 with evidence that it can stimulate the cells in this layer.
How does Profhilo Structura differ from Profhilo?
Structura contains more Hyaluronic Acid (90mg/2ml ) than Profhilo (64mg/2ml), which means it behaves differently in the tissues.
Standard Profhilo spreads easily through the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin.
Structura spreads in the fatty tissue, activating ageing adipose fat cell receptors and encouraging them to mimic the behaviour of their youth. This improves fat cell quality and a lifting effect. Structura is clinically proven to restore superficial fat to its original position, effectively reducing facial hollows and skin laxity, resulting in a more lifted, contoured, and rejuvenated facial profile.
Like the original Profhilo, Structura is not a filler. The results people achieve are due to tissue regeneration.
Both treatments offer unique rejuvenation and anti-ageing benefits tailored to different concerns and treatment areas.
What does the treatment involve?
The treatment is quick and easy to perform with minimal discomfort. A cannula inserts the product into the correct layer and position, and an immediate lifting effect can often be seen. The product then gets to work, stimulating the cells in the adipose layer. A second treatment is required 30 days later to continue the process and achieve visible results.
There is minimal downtime, so you can go about your day after treatment.
Maintenance and Follow-up
Maintenance treatments are typically every four to six months to maintain the results, depending on a person’s individual response.
Who is suitable for Treatment?
We recommend Structura treatment for patients with well-defined structures that need superficial enhancement. It is a popular choice for those seeking natural, subtle improvements without a drastic change in facial volume.
There are different treatment protocols depending on how you have aged.
‘Saggers’ – heavier faces with skin descent due to laxity, slight jowl formation and flatting of the cheek. By injecting along their cheekbone and in front of their ear, we can achieve more reshaping in a natural, balanced manner. Profile 2.
Is Profhilo Structura Safe?
So far, studies have shown no concerning adverse events.
Patients have reported high satisfaction and have also shown an increase in skin thickness and texture.
Can I combine Structura with other treatments?
It can be used alongside other aesthetic treatments, including Botox and Fillers. Treating each layer of the face according to its needs ensures a holistic improvement for best results.
Polynucleotide (PN) skin rejuvenation treatments have gained significant attention in aesthetic medicine. They involve a revolutionary, non-invasive procedure for enhancing skin texture and appearance. Based on utilising biological substances to stimulate tissue regeneration, PN treatments have emerged as a promising solution for individuals seeking to revitalise their skin without resorting to more invasive procedures.
What are Polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are the building blocks of DNA molecules. They have been used since the 1950s for burn and wound healing and are known to possess bioactive properties that can aid in repairing and rejuvenating damaged skin.
They have been created synthetically or can be from animal origin. The most common products available for skin rejuvenation are extracted from salmon or trout sperm. The DNA is purified so that patients with fish allergies are still suitable for treatment.
Nucleofill and Plenhyage are created from Salmon DNA fragments, and Plinest is made from Trout DNA fragments.
How do Polynucleotides work?
When injected into the dermal layer of the skin, the PN DNA fragments act as signalling agents that stimulate fibroblasts and trigger the body’s natural regenerative processes, promoting cellular regeneration. This results in collagen and elastin synthesis and the production of essential structural proteins and hyaluronic acid, which improve hydration and moisture retention, restoring youthful skin characteristics.
As a result, patients may observe a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. They also can create a healthier complexion and reduce the visibility of skin imperfections such as pigmentation irregularities and scars.
The gradual and cumulative effects of polynucleotide skin rejuvenation treatments make them a preferred option for individuals seeking gradual but noticeable improvements in their skin quality.
How long do the results of Polynucleotides last?
The results of PN treatments may generally last several months to a year. The average response lasts for six to nine months.
The duration of the effects of PN Treatments varies depending on the specific type of PN used, individual response to the treatment, and the initial condition of the skin. The longevity of their effects also depends on the body’s natural ageing process and environmental factors.
Which areas can Polynucleotides Treat?
PNs can revitalise the skin on all areas of the face and body.
Face: To improve facial skin’s texture, tone, and elasticity. They can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of ageing, resulting in a more youthful and radiant complexion.
Neck and décolletage: The delicate skin on the neck and décolletage can also benefit from PN treatments, helping to tighten and firm the skin in these areas and reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Hands: PN therapy can be used to rejuvenate the skin on the hands, minimising the visible signs of ageing, such as thinning skin, wrinkles, and age spots, thereby improving the overall texture and appearance of the hands.
Body: PN treatments can also be applied to various areas of the body, such as the arms, abdomen, and thighs, to promote skin regeneration, improve elasticity, and reduce the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks.
Scalp: In recent years, PN treatments have gained attention for their potential to promote hair growth and improve scalp health. When administered to the scalp, PN therapy can help strengthen hair follicles and stimulate hair growth, contributing to thicker and healthier-looking hair.
How many Treatments will I need?
Most people require three treatment sessions in total.
We recommend one session (2ml) every 14- 21 days.
Contraindications to Polynucleotide Treatment
Pregnancy
Breast Feeding

Dr Hazlehurst uses mainly Plinest, Newest and Plenhyage but can also use Nucleophill
Polynucleotide skin rejuvenation treatments represent a breakthrough in the field of aesthetic medicine, offering a safe and effective solution for individuals looking to revitalise their skin’s youthful characteristics. By harnessing the regenerative potential of PN molecules, these treatments stimulate collagen synthesis, enhance skin hydration, and promote overall skin health, leading to a more radiant and youthful complexion. As the field of aesthetic medicine continues to evolve, polynucleotide skin rejuvenation is poised to remain a prominent player in the quest for achieving natural and long-lasting skin rejuvenation.
At Cheshire Lasers, we use Dermaforce to deliver RadioFrequency (RF) Microneedling. This advanced treatment combines microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF) technology to effectively treat a large number of cosmetic concerns, with excellent results.
This combination treatment has become more and more popular recently due to improvements in the way the technology is used to deliver better results. It is also more popular due to its extensive coverage on social media and in the press.
How RadioFrequency Microneedling Works
Insulated fine gold-plated needles deliver Bi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF) into the skin. The depth of the treatment varies depending on the skin concerns that need treating. The radiofrequency energy heats the tissue in the region of 55 – 65°C and, depending on the depth, will stimulate cell renewal, new collagen, increased hydration and resurfacing.
How is New Collagen Stimulated?
The energy/heat released into the skin causes immediate trauma to the existing mature, dehydrated collagen cells causing contraction and damage to this tissue. This damage stimulates a fibroblast action (fibroblasts are the connective tissue cells that produce collagen and elastin) which results in the production of new collagen and an increase in the diameter of the collagen fibres. The spaces between the fibres are also reduced.
This result causes an increased density of the dermal layer giving a skin-tightening effect.
What Can RadioFrequency Microneedling Treat?
Loose and Sagging Skin
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Pitted Skin
Uneven skin texture
Stretch Marks
Which areas can it treat?
We usually recommend a full-face treatment rather than treating specific facial areas. However, we can focus more on specific areas if they need more improvement.
Areas that RF Microneedling work well on include:
Crows feet
Neck and décolletage
Perioral/ Mouth area
Jowls and jawline
Large pores

Retinol product and Prescription Vitamin A treatments stop three days before treatment and restart at least three days after or once the skin has fully recovered.
What is a RF Microneedling Treatment Like?
The treatment can be uncomfortable due to the needling and the heat generated. We can reduce the discomfort by applying anaesthetic cream before your treatment.
During the treatment, your skin will go red and will start to feel warm, like sunburn.

Do not apply spray tan or self-tan for 2–3 weeks post-treatment.
Use SPF 50 sunscreen.
Avoid touching the skin directly after treatment.
Keep skin dry for 24 hours and avoid scratching
Avoid active skincare for 3–5 days after treatment.
No swimming for 24 hours
No exercise or strenuous activity that will cause sweating until the skin has recovered.
Post Treatment Suggestions
Use a clean pillowcase.

Consider the environment. Hot, humid conditions can contribute to excess inflammation.
HArmonyCa is a dual-effect Hybrid Injectable. It contains two active ingredients, calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) and hyaluronic acid (HA). These two components are in well-known dermal fillers and have both been in use for over two decades.
It also contains lidocaine, an anaesthetic, to reduce the discomfort of treatment.
How do HA and CaHA work?
Hyaluronic acid has a volumising, lifting and hydration effect. The results are immediate and can last anything from 3 to 18 months.
Calcium hydroxyapatite has an excellent collagen stimulation effect which causes skin firming and tightening. Over time the particles stimulate the production of a collagen network in the skin, creating a tightening and lifting effect that can last 1-3 years.
Which areas can HArmonyCa treat?
HArmonyCa works best under the surface of the skin where collagen stimulation is needed. It cannot be injected around the eyes, lips or mouth.
What makes HArmonyCa different from other Biostimulators?
Biostimulators work differently, and the results and longevity vary from person to person. What makes HarmonyCA even more different is that it is the first one to combine a biostimulator with hyaluronic acid.
HArmonyCa Aftercare
You should avoid strenuous activity and exposure to sunlight and tanning lamps or extreme weather conditions for 24 hours post-treatment in order to reduce redness, swelling and irritation.
Massage the area morning and night for seven days to reduce the incidence of nodules.
If nodules (small lumps and bumps under the skin) appear, you should massage the treated area, and if they do not go in a day or two, please contact us for an urgent review.
Redness, swelling, itching, discomfort and tenderness are common after treatment and usually settle within 24–48 hours.
ALWAYS PROMPTLY report the following to us:
Any adverse event which doesn’t resolve within the typical time frame
Any adverse event which worsens,
Any other adverse event
Less common adverse effects include:
bruising
prolonged swelling
fluid under the skin
longer lasting nodules
extrusion (misshaping due to force)
Rare side effects include:
infection
induration (hardening)
skin pigmentation,
inflammatory reaction
allergic reaction
migration
persistent nodules (small bumps)
granulomas (small area of inflammation)
necrosis (cell death)
blindness
Who Performs HArmonyCa Treatments at Cheshire Lasers?
The Following specialists performs HArmonyCa treatments at Cheshire Lasers.
Dr Teri Johnson discusses the wide range of treatments for the lips and the area around the mouth at Cheshire Lasers. The treatments involve the use of Dermal Fillers, Botox, Polynucleotides as well as other rejuvenation treatments to achieve the following goals:
Lip Enhancement
Lip Rejuvenation/ Restoration
Lip Hydration
Lip Line Treatments
Lip Flip
Lip Enhancement
A lip enhancement treatment plumps the lips, replaces lost volume and improves lip hydration. Dermal Fillers are the best treatment for this.
The following specialists provide Lip enhancement with Derma Fillers at Cheshire Lasers:
There are many treatments available for Lip Rejuvenation at Cheshire Lasers. Dermal Fillers are also successful for this treatment; a soft subtle dermal filler around the lip area recreates a youthful appearance, adds back hydration, and can significantly reduce fine lines.
Lip Rejuvenation with Dermal Filler is available at Cheshire Lasers with the following specialists:
The following images are provided by Aesthetic Nurse Moira.
She uses Beletero Balance in her patients to soften the lip lines and rejuvenate the area about the mouth. Moira uses a special blanching technique to decrease the lines but not increase the volume of the area.
Botox Treatments
Botox can be used around the mouth to offer two types of results:
Smoker’s Line Reduction
Botulinum Toxin relaxes the muscles that purse the lips. By reducing the repeated contractions, the fine lines caused by the movement reduce for about 8 to 10 weeks.
This treatment takes knowledge and skill, as too much muscle relaxation can lead to weakness of the mouth muscles.
The Lip Flip
The Lip Flip is when botox injections around the mouth muscle at certain points relax the lip muscle and ‘flips’ the lip out to make it appear fuller, plumper and much more visible.
Cysteamine cream is a skin-lightening agent known for treating hyperpigmentation disorders such as age spots, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Dermatologists have been recommending it for several years since it has been available in the UK.
Cyspera Cysteamine Cream was the first brand available in 2019, and it became popular due to published evidence supporting its effectiveness. A few years later, it was discontinued and replaced by Cyspera Intensive which has also been discontinued in the UK.
What is the difference between Dermaquest Cystamine Serum and Cream, Cyspera and Cysteamine HSA
The original Cyspera contained 5% Cysteamine cream and came in a 50g tube. Cyspera Intensive, contained 7% Cysteamine cream with added ingredients such as AHAs to enhance pigmentation reduction, Isobionic-Amide, which is an anti-inflammatory B3 derivative and other ingredients to mask the smell slightly because the ingredients could not be combined in the tube it comes in a 30ml dual pump. This product has been discontinued in the UK. These were both mask treatments which needed to be washed off after 15 minutes.
Senté Cysteamine HSA Pigment & Tone Corrector contains 5% Cysteamine Cream in a 50ml tube. It also contains B3 niacinamide and HSA, which in combination improve skin tone by treating pigmentation and reducing redness or inflammation. Senté Cysteamine HSA Pigment & Tone Corrector should be applied like a mask on the problem area and washed off after 15minutes.
DermaQuest MelaQuest Cysteamine Serum and DermaQuest MelaQuest Cream with Cysteamine also contain antioxidants- Glutathione and Ginko Biloba to reduce inflammation and skin sensitivity, a tyrosine inhibitor – Kojic Acid to help reduce pigmentation and Snow Algae, which improves the skin’s collagen and cellular defence.
DermaQuest MelaQuest Cysteamine Serum contains 4% Cysteamine, which is shown to be as effective as prescription 4% hydroquinone and DermaQuest MelaQuest Cream with Cysteamine contains 3% Cysteamine. Both of these products can be left on the skin, which makes your daily routine easier. They still have an aroma, but this is masked by some of the other ingredients. For best results, Dermaquest advises you to use the serum and then the cream twice daily.
Some people may try the serum first on its own and add on the cream if the would like to enhance the results.
Skin Sensitivity with the Different Cysteamine Creams
Cysteamine is known for causing irritation for some users, hence why the latest versions contain ingredients to counteract this.
Sante, however, uses their HSA compound to provide a soothing repair base to the Cysteamine cream, so it is more suitable for sensitive skin and red skin.
Dermaquest uses glutathione and Ginko Biloba to reduce inflammation and skin sensitivity,
How to use the different Cysteamine Creams
For all products: If you have never used it, begin with a patch test. Then, apply every other day to the treatment area and increase to everyday use as tolerated.
For Cyspera and Sente products:
Do not wash the skin before application.
If necessary to wash, you must wait for one hour before applying Cyspera and 20 minutes before applying Senté Cysteamine HSA Pigment & Tone Corrector
Apply a thin layer on the pigmented skin you wish to treat
Leave on for 15 minutes
Remove by washing the area with a gentle face cleanser.
Gently pat your face dry and apply a gentle moisturiser and SPF if in the day
Do not leave on for more than 15 minutes.
Intensive phase: Once per day for up to 16 weeks.
Maintenance phase: Twice-weekly, once per day, indefinitely.
Use a high SPF sunblock to prevent activating the pigmentation.
For best results, you need to make sure you are consistent and apply products daily.
How does it Cysteamine work?
As the name implies, the cream contains cysteamine, a metabolite of L-cysteine and a natural cellular component. L-cysteamine inhibits the production of melanin in the skin in several different ways, which is why it is so effective.
It works as an Antioxidant and also inhibits the Tyrosinase enzyme, reducing the production of melanin precursors, therefore decreasing pigment production.
There is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial that confirmed the efficacy of cysteamine cream in the treatment of epidermal melasma.
A reduction in pigmentation is usually seen after six weeks of consistent use. It takes 8 to 16 weeks of regular use to achieve optimal results
Contraindications to use:
Cysteamine cream should not be used if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Can I use Cysteamine in the summer?
You can use this treatment any time of year regardless of the intensity of sunlight; it is not a photosensitiser.
I have a dark skin tone can I still use it?
Yes it is suitable for all skin types and skin tones.
What are the side effects and risks?
Local side effects at the site of application may include:
Temporary heating up or burning sensation and redness
More persistent irritation and dryness, which you can treat with an emollient.
This reaction may happen during the first few days of application and are generally mild with the newer products.
In case of sustained redness, irritation or dry skin, suspend Cysteamine application and carefully hydrate the area with your basic hydration cream. You can try to resume gradual application once your skin has recovered.
If you have not used Cysteamine Cream before and want to purchase it. You are welcome to arrange a consultation to advise you on how to use the products and how to add them to your routine.
