Parkview Lasercare

Lovely reduction for this client on her underarms after 6 sessions.

She is also having bikini hair removal and is looking forward to her holiday and not even having to give shaving or waxing a minute’s thought.

If you’d like to have silky smooth sling for your holidays without the hassle of waxing or shaving, why not give me a call to discuss laser hair removal?

What is a skin tag?

Skin tags are small growths that hang off your skin. They are small, soft growths which can vary in colour and size – from a few millimetres up to a couple of centimeters wide.

Skin tags are usually found on the neck, armpits, around the groin, or under the breasts. They can also grow on the eyelids or under the folds of the buttocks.

They are often caused by bilateral rubbing, often from a necklace, collar, bra or underwear.

They can look like warts, but skin tags are usually:
- smooth and soft
- knobbly and hang off the skin

Skin tags do not usually cause any pain or discomfort.
Both men and women can develop skin tags.
They are incredibly easy to remove by Cryotherapy and often only require one treatment.

If you have a skin tag which is causing you irritation and would like to know more about removal, call Helen on 07960 587519

An oldie but a goodie!

Just 9 sessions to fully remove this unwanted Lady Gaga tattoo.

Why not get in touch if you have unwanted ink?

Don’t be put off by videos you see on YouTube which can look pretty horrific!

While the treatment is a little uncomfortable, it’s bearable. Most people describe the sensation as similar to the spit of hot fat or the flick of an elastic band. I will do what I can to minimise the discomfort by cooling the skin before and after treatment, and during if required.

A numbing cream can be used, but the majority of clients can tolerate the treatment with just cooling.

If you’d like to discuss tattoo removal, why not give me a call.

-ink

This is the most frequently asked question regarding tattoo removal. Typically, we say 4-6 sessions for an amateur tattoo and 8-12 for a professional tattoo. However, there are a lot of factors that have an influence on the process.

- How old is the tattoo
- How deep is the ink
- What colour is the ink
- What type of ink was used
- Placement of the tattoo on the body
- Do you smoke
- Do you exercise
- Do you drink plenty of water

You can see from the attached pictures that there are varying results, so we can only give you guidelines, everyone’s body reacts differently.

A full consultation is carried out before we begin treatment, this is to discuss all of the above and to get a treatment plan in place with realistic expectations.

If you’d like to arrange a free of charge, no obligation consultation, or if you have any questions about tattoo removal, call Helen on 07960 587519

I’m having radiotherapy this week, 5 sessions 3rd to 7th August.

This is just in case there are any rogue cells still lingering and it will apparently take my chance of recurrence down from 20% to 3% 🙌

I’m not sure how I’m going to feel, so I’ve decided to close the clinic so that I won’t need to cancel your appointments at the last minute if I’m not feeling great.

I will be resting up but I will be answering enquiries, so do get in touch if you’d like to book in or if you have any questions.

A pinch and a punch…

Do you have lovely plans for August?

It’s a mixed one here, I’m starting radiotherapy on Monday, but we also have a lovely holiday planned for the end of the month.

There are still some appointments available and products such as Lynton Light Protect, Lynton Light Soothe and HYPO21 are always in stock.

Whatever you have planned, have a good one.

I’m always telling you to keep your treatment area out of the sun, and I will turn you away if you come into the clinic with a tan. I will always ask you to stay out of the sun for at least 2 weeks after your session and leave 4 weeks after sun exposure before your next session.

Here’s why:

- If you are tanned before treatment, the laser may detect more pigment in the surrounding skin rather than focusing on the intended target. That can increase the risk of overheating, burns or blisters.

- There is a greater risk of pigment changes, dark or light patches which can last for months and be difficult to treat.

- Skin treated with laser can be red, swollen and sensitive, sun exposure can worsen inflammation and discomfort.

Sunbeds and self tans will cause the skin to react in exactly the same way as a real tan. And a ‘bit of a tan’ or a tan that’s ’only from Wales or the garden’ is still a tan and will mean that I will not treat you.

Have a look at the 2nd pic to see a great example of one of my clients who uses the sun beds but still wishes to continue with her tattoo removal.

The safe treatment of your skin is paramount, so if you feel you’ve had sun exposure, just let me know and we’ll move your treatment.
