Common Cosmetic Concerns and Their Treatments

Cheshire Lasers is a skin and aesthetic clinic on Wheelock Street in Middlewich. This page lists the concerns people ask us about most often, and the treatments we use for each one.

Choose the concern closest to yours. Each page explains what the treatment involves and what it can and cannot achieve, and carries the prices and a link to book.

• Frown and Forehead Lines
  How to treat the number 11s in your frown and the horizontal lines on your forehead? Which treatments work and what they involve.
• Chin Wrinkle Treatments
  How Chin-tox relaxes the overactive muscle that causes chin dimpling and cobblestone chin, plus fillers and skin texture treatments.
• Skin Lesion Removal e.g milia, skin tags, moles
  Moles, skin tags, milia, warts and other blemishes, removed by our doctors using cryotherapy or electrocautery. Every lesion is assessed first, and you can send a photograph if you are unsure.

• Age Spot Pigmentation Removal
  Age spots, sun spots and liver spots explained — what causes them, which treatments fade them, and how to stop them coming back. Not the same as freckles.
• Under Eye Wrinkle Treatments
  An honest account of what we have tried around the eyes over the years, what has worked and what has not. The under-eye area is harder to improve than the rest of the face.
• Jowl Treatments
  Why the jawline softens with age, and the treatments that can lift and tighten it — CACI, radiofrequency and Ultraformer. Each of them needs a course rather than one session.
• Thread Vein Treatments
  Thread veins, also called spider veins or red veins, on the face and legs. Treated with IPL, electrocautery or microsclerotherapy, depending on where they are and whether they are flat or raised.
• Treatments for Scars
  Scars left by injury, surgery or acne. Which treatments can soften them here, and which scars are better suited to a treatment we do not provide.
• Chronic Red Skin Treatments
  Redness has several different causes — visible vessels, a damaged skin barrier, or inflammation — and which one you have decides the treatment. In-clinic and home care options both covered.
• Treatments For Lip Lines
  View our summary of treatments we use at Cheshire Lasers to help with the fine lines around the mouth, often known as smoker’s lines.
• Gummy Smile Treatment with Botox
  More gum shows than you would like when you smile. Usually the muscles that lift the upper lip are overactive, and relaxing them a little lowers how far the lip rises.
• Marionette Line Treatments by Dr Kyra Drinnan
  The creases running from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin, which can make the mouth look turned down. Dermal fillers replace the lost support underneath.
• Tattoo Removal
  Laser tattoo removal and fading at Cheshire Lasers, using a Q-switched laser. Amateur tattoos take one to six sessions; professional tattoos need considerably more.
• Large Pores
  Why pores enlarge, what makes them more noticeable, and what can be done — the skincare that helps at home, and the treatments that rebuild the collagen supporting the pore.
• Skin Rejuvenation – What Works?
  Brighter, more even skin comes from increasing cell turnover and stimulating collagen. This page sets out the treatments that do that, so you can see which suits you.
• Acne / Blackheads / Breakouts
  Clogged pores, blackheads and inflammation. Skincare, supplements, in-clinic treatments and prescription options, put together as a programme rather than a single fix.
• Pigmentation Removal
  Not all pigmentation is the same. This page explains the three types we treat — sun damage and age spots, melasma and hormonal pigment, and post-inflammatory pigmentation — and which treatments suit each.
• Neck Treatments
  The skin on the neck is thinner than on the face and ages sooner. Injectables, energy devices and topical treatments, often used in combination, for laxity and lines.
• Hand Rejuvenation
  Hands show age through dryness, poor texture, age spots and visible veins. Peels and microneedling can improve the skin, though sun protection is what keeps the result.
• Hair Loss
  Hair loss is a sensitive thing to discuss. Our specialists offer several ways to improve its effects, and the first step is working out which one suits you.
• Dark Circles
  Why dark circles appear — pigment, shadow, hollowing or thin skin — and why the cause decides what, if anything, will help. Often genetic, and not always improvable.
