Acupuncture


Acupuncture treatment in Middlewich, Cheshire


Acupuncture is one of the longest established forms of healthcare in the world. Acupuncturists are trained to use subtle diagnostic techniques that have been developed and refined for thousands of years. The focus is on you as an individual, not your illness, and all symptoms are seen in relation to each other. Treatment involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body to affect the flow of your body’s qi, or vital energy.


Acupuncture “re-programs” and restores normal functions by stimulating certain points on the meridians to free up the Qi energy.


The ancient Chinese believed that there is a universal life energy called Chi or Qi present in every living creature. This energy is said to circulate throughout the body along specific pathways that are called meridians. As long as this energy flows freely throughout the meridians, health is maintained, but once the flow of energy is blocked, the system is disrupted and pain and illness occur. There can be many reasons for this; emotional and physical stress, poor nutrition, infection or injury are among the most common. By inserting ultra-fine sterile needles into specific acupuncture points, a traditional acupuncturist seeks to re-establish the free flow of qi to restore balance and trigger the body’s natural healing response.


Traditional Chinese medicine takes into account the “whole person” and understands that stress and excessive emotions all contribute to health issues.


Based on traditional belief, acupuncturists are trained to use subtle diagnostic techniques that have been developed and refined for centuries. The focus is on the individual, not their illness, and all the symptoms are seen in relation to each other. Each patient is unique; two people with the same western diagnosis may well receive different acupuncture treatments.


A growing body of evidence-based clinical research shows that traditional acupuncture safely treats a wide range of common health problems.

At Cheshire Lasers our NVQ Level 4 Laser Technician provides Laser and IPL Hair Removal treatments.


laser hair removal Cheshire


Cheshire Lasers offers Intense Pulsed Light ( IPL ) and Laser Hair Removal treatments to leave you with plenty of time to get on with more important things. After all shaving can sometimes feel like a chore, especially on holiday.

The treatments remove unwanted hair by destroying the hair root so that it finds it difficult to re-grow. It is non-invasive, quick and you usually see results in just a few sessions.

IPL and Laser Hair Removal can also offer a superior solution for hormone-related hair growth and for large areas of unwanted hair.

At Cheshire Lasers, we perform mostly IPL Hair Removal treatments using the very effective Lumina AQS machine made by Lynton Lasers. Lynton Lasers a local company in Holmes Chapel make machines with an outstanding reputation and used all over the country.

Here are some example IPL Laser Hair Removal treatments.

laser and IPL hair removal treatment middlewich Cheshire


What to expect during a consultation

Prior to any treatment, our laser technicians will provide a full consultation. The consultation identifies your expectations and provides a complete explanation of the treatment. Our Laser technicians take a full medical history to confirm your suitability for treatment. If you wish to go ahead with treatment they will discuss everything on our consent form so you understand everything before signing it. They will then perform a patch test to confirm there are no adverse skin reactions to the light.


How do Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Lasers work?

Laser and Intense Pulsed Light systems release precise short bursts of light energy which is the melanin pigment in the hair absorbs. This energy heats the hair and destroys the root to achieve long term hair reduction.


How is Laser the treatment carried out?

At Cheshire Lasers, we use Intense Pulsed Light for Hair Removal. You will be asked to put on goggles to protect your eyes. A layer of chilled gel is applied to the area to guide the light into the skin. The light guide is placed on the skin and a short pulse of light is released, targeting many follicles simultaneously. The applicator is then moved to the neighbouring area of skin and the process is repeated until the entire area is treated. The chilled gel is removed and the area is cooled.

Aftercare Sun avoidance is essential. We recommend daily use of a high factor, broad-spectrum sunblock.


Am I suitable for Laser Hair Removal?

The ideal patient is fair-skinned with dark hair, but results can also be achieved for fairer hair and darker skin types. The darker the hair, the more easily it is treated; as darker hair contains more melanin it will heat up more easily. Fairer hair contains less melanin and is harder to treat.

Grey/white hair has no melanin so cannot be effectively treated. If you have grey or white hair we recommend electrolysis at Cheshire Lasers this treatment is provided by Helena Fryer. 


How does the Laser / IPL treatment feel?

No anaesthesia is required and most patients describe the discomfort as moderate and acceptable. Sensations vary but most describe it as a very short hot pinprick that occurs very quickly when the Intense Pulsed Light is omitted, making it the preferred choice for Hair Removal.

As the hair reduces with subsequent treatments the discomfort often reduces.


What will I see after the treatment?

The hair follicles are damaged by heat but the hairs remain in the follicles. The hairs fall out after 1 – 3 weeks as the epidermis renews. During this period the hairs will seem to ‘grow’ as they are pushed out by the new epidermis.


Is Laser Hair Removal safe?

The skin can become quite red immediately after treatment, however, most patients experience no side effects and any skin reaction usually disappears within a few hours. Very rarely the skin may become lighter or darker, or some small blister may form.


How many treatments are necessary?

Only hair that is actively growing is affected, therefore multiple treatments are needed. Treatment is conducted every 4 – 8 weeks, depending on the site treated, until a satisfactory result is seen. The number of treatments required varies, but typically 6 or more treatments are required for maximum results.


How long does each Laser /IPL hair removal treatment take?

Treatments can take from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated.


IPL Laser Hair Removal mechanics:

The focused, broad-spectrum light is applied to the surface of the skin by way of a handpiece. The intense light travels through the tissue of the skin until it strikes the hair shafts or the bulb (root) of the hair. The bulb is usually where the highest concentration of melanin is located, as opposed to the rest of the hair shaft. The light is converted to heat energy. The bulb and most of the hair shaft are instantly vaporized. The intense heat radiated by the hair also destroys the hair-producing papilla or the entire hair follicle. It is also claimed that direct light-heat conversion occurs directly in the darker coloured capillaries that bring nourishing blood to the follicle.

Dermal Fillers


dermal fillers cheshire


What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines and deeper folds, rejuvenating the skin to give a more youthful appearance.


Are Dermal Fillers Permanent or Temporary?

Dermal fillers are classified into two types: non-permanent (resorbable) or permanent (non-resorbable).

Non-permanent fillers last 6-18 months, depending on the product used.

Dr Teri Johnson and her associates only use resorbable fillers because permanent fillers have a much higher risk of permanent side effects.


What do Dermal Fillers contain?

In the 1980s, collagen was the first dermal filler approved in the USA.

However, the leading dermal fillers in the UK mostly contain hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of our own skin which can be synthesised artificially to create a dermal filler. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers have the advantage that they can last 4 to 18 months, depending on the product. They can be broken down by the enzyme hyaluronidase if needed, so the filler can be removed more rapidly if necessary.

Other non-permanent dermal fillers contain ingredients such as Poly-L-lactic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite which stimulate collagen while in the skin.


Which Dermal Filler should I have?

Dr Teri Johnson and her associates at Cheshire Lasers collectively have had many years of experience performing thousands of treatments with various dermal filler brands. This experience has helped them determine which fillers work best in different areas for different skin types and indications to give the effect they want to achieve. Some dermal fillers suit some skin types more than others. There is no perfect filler; different ones last longer in some people than others. Different skin types respond better to different products.

At your consultation,  your medical practitioner will assess your skin type, thickness, hydration, texture, and the problems you hope to address. They can then recommend the most appropriate treatment for you and will show you some before and after images of her previous treatments that she has performed with that product to enable you to decide if the treatment is for you.


Which Dermal Fillers do Cheshire Lasers use?

Dr Teri and her associates use only quality-assured premium Dermal Fillers at Cheshire Lasers. Well-known established Dermal Filler brands such as Restylane, Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Vycross, Radiesse, Ellansé, Teosyal, and Belotero.  Each specialist has a different experience in different products and has different preferences.

If you have had dermal fillers in the past, giving your medical practitioner as much information as possible about the treatment is helpful. It will benefit you and them to know which products have been used, and where they were injected. It is also helpful to know if the treatment gave you the results you were expecting and if you had any unwanted effects.

Dermal fillers come in different thicknesses; in general, the thicker products help contour the face. Whilst thinner products are great for hydrating the tissues and are more effective in treating finer superficial lines.


What can Dermal Fillers Treat?

Popular Dermal Filler treatment areas include:

Smokers Lines
Lip Rejuvenation for ageing shrunken lips
Lip Enhancement to volumise lips
Cheek Enhancement
Temple Enhancement
Chin Enhancement
Marionette Line Reduction
Naso-labial folds (nose to mouth lines)

Pelvic Floor Treatment


EMsella Powerform Pelvic floor exercises


Cheshire Lasers introduces Powerform V-Plus Pelvic Floor Treatment

Cheshire Lasers has one of the first Powerform V-Plus chair treatments for strengthening and tightening the pelvic floor muscles. Treating the pelvic floor can help a variety of problems the most common being stress incontinence.


The Benefits of Treatment:

high intensity focused electro-magnetic


What is Powerform V-Plus?

Powerform V-Plus is a new powerful revolutionary pelvic floor and core muscle toning treatment. It uses High-Intensity Focused Electro-Magnetic technology which creates the equivalent of 20,000 muscle contractions in a  30-minute treatment.

Powerform V  induces deep pelvic floor muscle contractions equivalent to 15,000 kegel exercises in just 30 minutes.

The treatment targets the pelvic floor muscle directly and doesn’t require neuromuscular control, the muscle can contract far more than it would consciously, creating highly effective results that could not be achieved using manual kegel exercise alone.


How does Powerform V-Plus Work?

The Powerform V-Plus creates electromagnetic energy fields which trigger the biological effect of exercise in a non-invasive, painless manner. The energy stimulates motor neurone pulses in 100% of the muscle fibre, significantly more than what would be possible in conventional pelvic floor and core muscle exercises.

The treatment engages the Mitochondria which burn off energy, which encourage the muscle to adapt to this increase in energy. The intense muscle contractions stimulate the muscles to create new protein strands and muscle fibres, resulting in increased muscle tone, strength, density and volume.

The treatment not only helps increase fat and calorie burning in the area treated, but it also improves the body’s metabolic rate. Another benefit to the treatment is a reduction in the amount of inflammation in that area of the body.

The overall result increase in:

  • muscle tone
  • strength
  • volume
  • density

Contra-indications:

At Cheshire Lasers we do not recommend a Powerform V-Plus treatment if you have the following:

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Copper coil ( IUD)
  • Pacemaker
  • Implanted Defibrillator
  • Reveal Device
  • Active Cancer or undergoing Cancer treatment
  • Large Metal Prosthetics near the treatment area
  • Infection near the treatment area

You will need a medical assessment from our clinic doctor if you have the following conditions:

  • Selected Cardiac or Vascular Diseases
  • Thrombosis or Thrombophlebitis
  • Prescribed Anti-coagulant medications
  • Steroid medication
  • Uncontrolled Blood Pressure
  • Transplant patients
  • Diabetes
  • Epilepsy
  • Auto-immune Conditions / Immunosuppression
  • Fragile Skin
  • Skin Thinning medication

How many treatments will I need?

At Cheshire Lasers, we recommend a course of around eight Powerform V-Plus treatments to achieve results.

We recommend a treatment twice a week. It can be three times a week if you prefer, however, you must leave 48 hours between each treatment to allow the muscle to recover.


Would a course of Powerform V-Plus treatments suit me?

At Cheshire Lasers, we recommend Powerform V-Plus to strengthen and tighten the pelvic floor muscles.

The treatment can benefit a range of people and problems:

  • Post-pregnancy to improve weakness in the pelvic floor and or abdominal wall muscles
  • Weakness due to ageing – to help prolapse symptoms and or stress incontinence.
  • Muscle weakness due to medical conditions where exercise is not possible.
  • To help pelvic floor weakness problems when  pelvic floor physiotherapy and exercises have failed to help the problem

Is the treatment safe?

Yes! The Powerform treatment transmits consistent electromagnetic fields to the pelvic floor, triggering the biological effect of Kegel exercises in a non-invasive, painless manner.


How long does the treatment take?

Each treatment lasts 30 minutes, making sessions suitable around even the busiest of lifestyles!


What will I feel during the treatment?

The treatment is completely pain-free but can sometimes feel a little uncomfortable. Simply sit on the 3D Powerform V chair fully clothed. The treatment will stimulate thousands of muscle contractions.


Why consider a Powerform V-Plus Pelvic Floor Treatment?

The current guidelines recommend pelvic floor muscle training as the first-line conservative treatment for stress incontinence and mild prolapses. Exercises need to be performed regularly every day and continued long term to make a difference. Some people struggle to do the exercises due to lack of time/commitment whereas others have a poor ineffective technique so the exercises do not improve the problem.

To help with pelvic floor exercises your GP can refer you to a physiotherapist who specialises in pelvic floor problems. They can advise you about technique and help you improve the efficiency of the exercises so they actually cause changes and improvement. Physiotherapists can also help you by using a biofeedback device to measure the strength of the pelvic floor muscle to help educate you when you are making strong contractions and also advise if the exercises are making a difference. They can also advise about vaginal cones. Some physiotherapists also use electrical stimulation to help the muscle contract and increase muscle tone.  Despite these interventions, some people still struggle to improve their pelvic floor strength and tone.

Powerform V-Plus targets the entire pelvic floor, unlike the electrical stimulation devices and unlike conscious pelvic floor exercises which only target a small area of the pelvic floor.  A treatment session of 30mins is equivalent to 20,000 contractions so each treatment leads to quicker and more dramatic muscle changes compared to any other treatment.


Does the treatment replace Kegel exercises?

Powerform treatment is considered more effective, as Kegel exercises cannot achieve the intensity or number of muscle contractions that the treatment achieves in a 30-minute session.

It is still recommended that you perform some exercises especially after your course of treatment so you can continue to maintain the strength and function of your pelvic floor. You can however have book maintainenace treatments if you prefer as an alternative.


What types of incontinence improve with Pelvic Floor Treatment?

Stress incontinence is the most likely to respond to pelvic floor treatment. Mixed incontinence can also improve to some extent.

Whats is stress incontinence?

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a condition in which there is an involuntary loss of urine on effort, physical exertion, sneezing or coughing. This is most commonly caused by a weak pelvic floor hence why pelvic floor exercises are recommended.

Powerform Pelvic Floor Treatment Reviews

Feedback Received 1 week after 8th Treatment:

I have had a week pelvic floor and mild stress incontinence for years and this has got worse over time. I struggle to feel my pelvic floor and therefore find pelvic floor exercises impossible.  So I thought I would give the Powerform a try.
At first, I felt very little during the treatment and was concerned my muscles were past improvement. After a few treatments, I was more aware of my pelvic floor muscles and felt I could contract them slightly better than I could before. On my 6th and 7th treatments the muscle contractions felt more intense and I became more aware of my own pelvic floor contractions in between treatments.

A week after my 8th treatment on the powerform chair I am so much happier with my pelvic floor function. I can feel a significant improvement in the strength of my muscles and the stress incontinence has improved a lot.  I plan to have another couple of treatments over the next month and will definitely continue with the recommended 6-week maintenance


Feedback received on the day of 8th treatment:

Pleased with the results of the powerform pelvic floor treatment. Just had my 8th treatment, my pelvic floor feels tighter and I can feel and use the muscles in this area much more. I have improved control passing urine and it has reduced my stress incontinence. Thank you, TS.


Feedback received on the day of 8th treatment:

I was having several leaks a day whilst coughing, sneezing, lifting, physical exercise and certainly if I didn’t make it to the toilet on time.  Now I think its mostly reduced to just physical exercise as I feel more in control at other times.
I would definitely recommend the treatment as I do feel more confident. I am determined to carry on with pelvic floor exercises and follow up with occasional Power Chair treatments.

Electrolysis Hair Removal

 


Electrolysis is carried out at Cheshire Lasers by Helena Fryer.

electrolysis hair removal middlewich Cheshire


Electrolysis has the longest known track record for long term effective results for hair removal. Dr Charles Michel first used it successfully in 1875 to remove ingrown eyelashes.


What is Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is performed by inserting a very fine, flexible disposable needle into the hair follicle. Then a tiny amount of current is applied to destroy the lower part of the follicle. This stops any more hairs from growing from that particular follicle.
The destruction is carried out by heat (thermolysis), a chemical reaction (galvanic) or both blended together (blend). Virtually any area (apart from the inside of the nose and inner ear) can be treated.

Electrolysis is particularly good for clients who are not suitable for IPL laser treatment – for example those with grey / blonde hair and hairs in moles. It is also very effective for treating the stronger hairs associated with hormonal hair growth, especially on the face.


Why do people have unwanted hair?

Statistics show that most people have facial or body hair, which they feel detracts from their appearance. Superfluous hair growth is often the result of normal changes in which both males and females undergo throughout life. As humans advance through puberty, pregnancies, menopause, midlife and ageing, fluctuations in hormone levels in both genders may cause increased hair growth in areas that have never before been affected. Excessive hair may also be hereditary, due to medication side effects and even stress. It can be associated with endocrine dysfunction, which may cause irregular menstrual cycles, ovarian disorders, and diabetes or thyroid irregularities.


What areas can you treat with Electrolysis?

Electrolysis can be performed on any normal, healthy skin except for hair from the mucous membranes inside the nose, inside the ears, moles (unless you can provide a written release from your GP), and any known area with skin conditions. As the process can be quite time consuming, it is best suited to small areas such as the face or abdomen.


How long will my treatment session last?

The average treatment ranges from 15 minutes to 1 hour. Many electrolysis clients find weekly or biweekly sessions of 15 to 60 minutes to be most effective the amount of time per treatment depends upon the reaction of the skin to treatment, and the client’s sensitivity. Timing also depends on what part of the body is being treated. The first treatment could last about 15 to 30 minutes, increasing to 60 minutes as the client’s sensitivity lessens.


How much hair can you remove in 1 session?

This is very much dependent upon the sensitivity of the client.


What will I feel during the treatment?

Even the most sensitive person should be able to tolerate the treatments. The careful, skilful insertion of the sterile, disposable, micro-fine electrolysis probe into the hair follicle should not hurt. The mild tingling from electrolysis treatment energy is quick, and then it’s over. The hair slides out of the hair follicle with ease, so does not feel like it was plucked or tweezed.


How can I remove hair growth between treatments?

It is really best not to use any other methods between treatments, like tweezing, waxing, or depilatories. However, extremely heavy growth can be trimmed with small manicure scissors or shaved with an electric razor.


How do I book an Electrolysis session?

For your first Electrolysis treatment at Cheshire Lasers, please book a consultation and patch test.

Eyebrow Microblading

 


microblading cheshire


Helena Fryer performs Microblading at Cheshire Lasers.


Microblading is a form of cosmetic tattooing. A microblade is used to place pigment into the skin by hand, to create the look of natural fuller brows.


What is the difference between Microblading and Tattooing?

Traditional tattooing uses needles on a rotary/coil machine to push ink 7 layers deep into the skin.

Microblading uses a manual blade and only targets the top 3 layers of skin. Because the pigment sits so superficially in the skin the strokes are sharp, crisp, and they mimic the look of real hair! This form of tattooing is the newest trend in Semi-Permanent Makeup.

The device or “blade” used for Microblading is not a scalpel or a cutting tool.  The device is made up of a group of microneedles fixed to a handle. It is configured to allows the technician to manually create lines that resemble eyebrow hairs.


Helena Fryer has been performing Microblading at Cheshire Lasers since 2016. She has received excellent feedback from her clients about all her treatments.

You can view some of Helena’s feedback and reviews here.

Thread Vein Treatments


At Cheshire Lasers, we provide thread vein removal treatments for the tiny veins found on the face and legs.

These red veins are also called thread veins or spider veins. They are the tiny visible veins that can be red, purple or blue in appearance and have a web-like appearance. Their web-like appearance is what inspired the name ‘spider veins’.

facial thread vein removal Cheshire


What is the best Thread Vein Removal Treatment for Facial Thread veins?

1. Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatments

Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatments are one of the most effective treatments for the removal of facial veins. The treatment involves directing light at the veins from outside the skin, this light damages the vein which stimulates the body to remove it.

These treatments also reduce redness on the face in the area around the vein. They also treat spider naevi and cherry angiomas located anywhere on the body.

At Cheshire Lasers our NVQ Level 4 IPL and Laser technician performs all our Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) facial thread vein removal treatments .

Laser and IPL treatments require no sun exposure or suntan for at least 4 weeks before and after each treatment if you can not avoid a suntan you may want to consider electrocautery or electrolysis for thread veins.

2. Electrocautery and Electrolysis

Advanced electrocautery and Advanced electrolysis are also very effective treatments for removing thread veins. It involves inserting a very fine needle into the thread veins and applying a tiny amount of electric current. The needle destroys all the tissue it touches and the body then heals and repairs the area . Advanced electrocautery is performed by Aesthetic Nurse Moira and Dr Kathryn Hazlehurst. Advanced electrolysis is performed by Aesthetician Helena Fryer.

What is the best Thread Vein Removal Treatment for Leg Thread veins?

Sclerotherapy is the gold standard treatment for leg veins. This is an injectable treatment that can treat the entire vein. Studies show that sclerotherapy is more effective and the results last longer when compared to laser or IPL for treating leg thread veins.

At Cheshire Lasers, Moira Grobicki Aesthetic Nurse performs Sclerotherapy thread vein removal.

leg thread vein removal Cheshire


You can find out more about Sclerotherapy thread vein removal at Cheshire Lasers here. 


Why is Sclerotherapy better for Leg thread vein removal?

Leg thread veins can occur due to ageing, sun exposure and trauma to the skin. However they also develop due to backwards blood flow from larger veins when the valves are no longer functioning properly. If these underlying faulty veins are untreated, they will cause more reflux in the healthier veins causing them to dilate and cause more unsightly thread veins.

The light used to treat the veins with laser and IPL can only treat the veins close to the skin surface. Treating these superficial thread veins in the skin without treating the deeper incompetent veins can cause spider vein treatment to fail.

Sclerotherapy can address some of these deeper thread veins as well.


Do you treat Varicose Veins?

Cheshire Lasers does not provide varicose vein treatments. Varicose veins are much more complex to treat and are a vascular surgeon is the best person to treat them.

Several of our clients have highly recommended the Vein Centre which is a specialist centre that treats only veins. They have two clinics close to Cheshire one in Manchester and the other in Stoke on Trent. The Vein Centre’s website explains which treatments are available for varicose veins and how they work.

Varicose veins treatments available include:

ZO Skin Health provides results-oriented therapies tailored to meet your specific needs. Delivering clinically proven results, these solutions maintain healthy skin that is strong, smooth and firm, evenly toned, and fully hydrated.

ZO Skin Health Skincare by Dr Zein Obagi is a prescription-strength, dispensed topical skincare system only available after a consultation with a ZO-trained health care professional. The products provide general improvements to skin health and appearance. The products have been thoroughly researched and clinically tested with fantastic results. ZO’s results-orientated therapies are tailored to suit your skin’s specific needs and are designed for you to apply at home. Everyone’s skin is different and that’s why ZO skin products are only available from an authorised clinic after a consultation.

ZO have created two ranges. The ‘Medical’ range treats disorders and more difficult skin conditions, whilst ‘Skin Health’ provides environmental protection and everyday skin health support.


How much do ZO Skin Health Products Cost?

Prices of ZO products vary depending on the specific programme or individual product.  You can view some of our ZO Skin Health prices here. We are unable to display all prices due to laws restricting the advertisement of prescription items. This is because some of the products are medical-grade prescription products and not cosmetics or cosmeceuticals. Please note we are unable to sell any of them online. You will require a consultation before purchasing these products.
