Powerform V-Plus Pelvic Floor Treatment at Cheshire Lasers
Cheshire Lasers provides 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:
What is Powerform V-Plus?
Powerform V-Plus is a 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

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 for 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 a 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 30 minutes 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, book maintenance 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.
What 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. A weak pelvic floor most commonly causes this, 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 is carried out at Cheshire Lasers by Helena Fryer.
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.
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.
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’.
What is the best Thread Vein Removal Treatment for Facial Thread veins?
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.
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.
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.
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.
” Skin Booster” describes a range of Injectable Skin Rejuvenation Treatments.
The first Skin Boosters were made from hyaluronic acid gel, similar to dermal fillers. The gel was injected into the top layers of the skin to produce skin hydration and plumping.
Sometime later, more advanced products became available that did not just plump and hydrate the skin but also had an additional action on the skin cells. These new products stimulate the cells of the skin in a range of different ways, so they don’t just hydrate the skin but also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.
These treatments perform a process of bio-remodelling, and all of them require a course of treatments a number of weeks apart.
Which Skin Booster Treatment is Best for me?
There are so many available now it is difficult to know which one is best for you. At Cheshire Lasers, we have tried so many over the years. Some we continue to use, and others we have discontinued when something better has come along.
Each treatment contains different ingredients with different properties and also different modes of action.
The procedure for delivering the treatments to the skin also varies. Some require needle injections, whereas others require a cannula to place the product into the skin. The downtime after each treatment and the common side effects post-treatment also vary.
There are pros and cons to each type. It depends on the area of concern, which treatments you have had before and how you have responded. Do you prefer a needle or cannula treatment? Or prefer to have fewer treatment sessions? Or prefer a treatment which does not contain hyaluronic acid?
Collagen stimulation is not an exact science, and some people respond to one treatment better than another.
At Cheshire Lasers, the following Skin Boosters are available:
Profhilo
Profhilo has been one of the most popular skin booster treatments at Cheshire Lasers.
This treatment has been available since 2017 at Cheshire Lasers, so our medical team have lots of experience with this treatment.
Active ingredients: Hyaluronic acid.
?? It involves ten injection points which result in small lumps under the skin.
The treatment takes 5 to 10 minutes.
The lumps go down over 8-24 hours as the product disperses under the skin.
The treatment promotes collagen and elastin growth to reduce skin laxity and improve skin hydration.
Most people need two treatments one month apart.
Results last for approximately six months.
To maintain results, you will require a maintenance treatment every 4-6 months.
Polynucleotides have been used since the 1950s; initially, they were used for wound healing.
Active ingredients: Polynucleotides ( the building blocks of DNA).
Nucleofill, Plenhyage, and Plinest are all polynucleotide treatments that regenerate the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin growth in the skin. They also improve signs of ageing, reduce laxity and dehydration, and improve scars and some pigmentation.
Polynucleotides can improve the skin anywhere. They are a popular treatment for the tear trough area, where they help decrease lower eyelid laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles and improve skin hydration.
?? It involves multiple injections into the skin with a needle or cannula.
Side effects include bruising and swelling for a few days.
The treatment stimulates fibroblasts to create collagen and elastin; it also stimulates hydration and has an antioxidant effect.
Most people require two to three treatments, two to three weeks apart.
You will need another treatment every three to six months to maintain results. (Frequency depends on your response to treatment.)
It is a natural skin booster treatment that uses the platelets from your own blood.
When activated, platelets secrete and release at least seven different growth factors which enhance the natural healing processes.
???The treatment involves multiple injections with a fine needle.
PRP can treat all the layers of the skin, superficial and deep.
The treatment stimulates collagen growth, improves the blood supply to the tissues and can greatly improve skin tone and texture. It also reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
Most people require three or four treatments, one month apart.
Active ingredients: Hyaluronic acid and Amino Acids.
????It involves multiple injection points.
It involves injecting two different products; one is for deep hydration, and the other goes more superficially into the skin.
Sunekos stimulates the fibroblasts in the skin to produce collagen and elastin.
It helps improve skin ageing, skin dryness, acne scarring, sun damage, loss of tone & elasticity, under-eye dark circles and fine lines and wrinkles.
Sunekos can treat the face, neck, décolleté, forehead and hands. It is particularly effective in the Periocular (eye) area, to reduce fine lines, dark circles and bags.
Most people require four treatments, 7-12 days apart.
You will require a maintenance treatment every 3-6 months to maintain results.
