Hand reflexology is a natural, non-invasive therapy that promotes relaxation, relieves tension, and supports overall well-being. By applying gentle pressure to specific reflex points on the hands, this technique stimulates the body’s natural healing process, encouraging balance and improved function in corresponding organs and systems.
Relaxation & Wellness at Your Fingertips
Hand Reflexology can be offered as an alternative to Foot Reflexology, and is delivered as with foot Reflexology working on the various points that correspond with body organs and pressure points. It is a gentle and non-invasive therapy ideal for those who wish to experience the benefits of Reflexology via the hands. Sharron Roughton has experience of offering this to younger clients who may prefer this to foot Reflexology. Particularly suitable for Anxiety and Stress and coping with difficulties with school life.

It improves the skin surface, treating pigmentation and poor texture while boosting collagen and elastin to reduce wrinkles and fine lines and simultaneously tightening the skin.
Unlike traditional laser treatments that work only on the skin’s surface, Neogen also penetrates deeper layers, making it a superior option for anyone seeking to reverse signs of ageing, repair sun damage, or improve overall skin texture and tone.
Is it similar to a Plasma Pen device?
No, it is very different from handheld devices, which create tiny injuries on the skin’s surface. Neogen uses nitrogen gas, which it converts into plasma energy. This energy treats the skin more uniformly on the surface and penetrates deeper into the skin. It improves both the epidermis and dermis layers, stimulating collagen production over time while treating a range of skin concerns.
What does a Neogen Treatment involve?
Cheshire Lasers uses the latest Neogen Plasma EVO Device, which has a range of settings to control the energy and enable various treatments, from mild to moderate to more aggressive. This ensures the outcome of the treatment chosen for you is predictable and reliable, with minimal risk of complications.
A handpiece delivers the nitrogen plasma energy and rapidly heats the skin, creating a controlled injury.
Most patients describe the feeling as warm but not painful. The intensity of the heat, however, can vary depending on the depth and intensity of the treatment. Lighter treatments feel milder, while more intensive sessions produce a stronger sensation that may require a topical anaesthetic.
The injury to the top layer leads to some superficial shedding of skin cells. This improves the skin’s texture, especially fine lines, age spots, and acne scars. It also triggers your body’s natural healing response, creating healthy new collagen and elastin, resulting in immediate skin tightening and firmer, tighter skin over time.
Whether you’re looking to enhance the overall appearance of your skin or target specific concerns, Neogen offers a tailored approach that meets your individual needs and downtime.
Which Areas Can Neogen Plasma Treat?
At Cheshire Lasers, we mainly treat the face with Neogen Plasma; however, we also treat the body.
This is the only treatment we can use to treat the eyelids.
What Skin Issues Can It Treat?
Neogen plasma skin rejuvenation is a versatile treatment that addresses a wide variety of skin concerns, including:
Hooded eyes
Eyelid laxity (inc. crow’s feet folds, heavy lids, under-eye folds)
Lines & wrinkles
Large pores
Pigmentation (sunspots, freckles)
Poor texture
Sun damage /photodamage
Skin laxity
Actinic (solar) keratosis
Scars

What are the Benefits of Neogen Skin Rejuvenation?
If you’re considering Neogen skin rejuvenation at our Cheshire Lasers Clinic, here are some of the key benefits that make this treatment stand out:
Non-Invasive: Neogen is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Quick Recovery: Most patients can return to their daily routine shortly after treatment, with any redness typically subsiding within a few days.
Long-Lasting Results: The skin continues to improve for months after the treatment as collagen production is stimulated.
Safe for All Skin Types: Neogen plasma technology is safe for all skin tones and types, making it a versatile option for anyone seeking rejuvenation.
Customisable Treatment Levels: Whether you’re looking for a mild refresh or a more intensive anti-ageing solution, Neogen can be tailored to your specific skin needs.
What to Expect During Your Neogen Treatment
Before your Neogen treatment, we ask that you attend a consultation with one of our specialists. They will assess your skin and create a treatment plan to suit your needs.
During the procedure, the practitioner will use the plasma device to deliver controlled energy to the treatment area, creating a warming sensation as the nitrogen plasma works its magic.
Sometimes, we will apply a topical anaesthetic, but this is only necessary if you are opting for a deeper treatment. Depending on the intensity of the treatment, sessions usually last between 30 minutes to an hour.
After treatment, we will give you some products to use on your skin for the next few days to ensure you avoid any products that may irritate or delay the healing process.

ZO Restorative Peel by Dr Zein Obagi MD – For Sensitive, Weak/Fragile Skin
Dr Obagi created the ZO Restorative Peel in 2024. This peel is extremely gentle on the skin and is great for restoring and hydrating dull, dry skin with redness and imperfections.
This peel contains a unique blend of alpha hydroxy acids (lactic, citric, and mandelic acid) to provide gentle surface exfoliation, instantly improving skin’s luminosity, texture, and tone for a restored complexion. It is appropriate for all skin types, especially dull, dry, weak, and redness-prone skin. It is also a good choice for sensitive acne-prone skin.
What happens during the ZO Restorative Peel?
Your skin will be cleansed using the appropriate cleanser from the ZO range to remove any makeup or oil. This is followed by ZO Exfoliating Polish and Polish Activator and ZO Peel Prep Solution to prepare the skin for the Peel.
The peel is then applied and left on for two to four minutes before neutralising Peel Neutraliser pads, which restores the skin’s pH.
A Brightening or Hydrating Medical mask is applied to boost your skin further.
The final step is using ZO Daily Power Defence moisturising serum and ZO Ommerse Renewal Cream to hydrate and protect your skin.
The active peel solution may cause some superficial peeling and slight initial reddening. However, the treatment exposes a new layer of healthy, undamaged skin, resulting in a smoother texture and even skin tone.
What are the benefits of the ZO Restorative Peel?
Instantly improving skin’s luminosity.
Improves skin texture and tone.
Soften fine lines and wrinkles.
Stimulate the production of collagen for firmer, more youthful skin.
Stimulate the growth of healthy cells while you shed damaged skin.
Improves dull, dry and redness-prone skin
Suitable for sensitive acne-prone skin
Treats mild acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Reduces pore size.
Improves the efficacy of skincare products.
No downtime.
Immediate results.
Who should (and should not) have the ZO Restorative Peel?
This peel is recommended for adults with dull, dry, and redness-prone skin and sensitive acne-prone skin that needs restoration.
We do not recommend the peel for those who are:
Pregnant or breastfeeding
Using Roaccutane or prescription retinoids
Having radiation or chemotherapy
Allergic to lactic, citric, and mandelic acids
Do I need to prepare my skin before the peel?
You do not need to perform any preparation or use any specific skin care before the ZO Restorative Peel. However, you will get better results if you use some ZO products before the treatment.
How long does the treatment take?
The treatment will take about 45 minutes.
You will notice the results immediately. Your skin will be fresher, glowing, and with improved texture and tone. We recommend a course of treatments for optimum results.
How long before I see results?
Most people will see an improvement in their skin after just one peel. However, we recommend a course of 3 to 4 Peels, 4-6 weeks apart for maximum benefit.
Maintenance
Ideally, every four months or before special events.
Enhance the results of your ZO Restorative Peel.
An additional ZO Mask can be added to your Restorative Peel to enhance the results for your skin. If you opt for one of these, your treatment time will be 10 minutes longer :
ZO Hydra Mask
Other ZO Hydra massage gel and mask ingredients make this ideal for dry, dehydrated or weak skin.
ZO Brightening Mask
A ZO Brightening mask and a brightening massage cream make this ideal for sun-damaged skin with age spots and pigmentation.
ZO Complexion Clearing Masque
Containing eucalyptus and kaolin for antiseptic and detoxifying benefits.
How do I Book a ZO Restorative Peel at Cheshire Lasers?
At Cheshire Lasers, our Level 4 Laser Technician and Aestheticians perform the ZO Stimulator Peels and offer ZO Skincare advice.

After treatment, we will give you some products to use on your skin for the next few days to ensure you avoid any products that may irritate or delay the healing process.
Neogen Plasma Post-treatment Advice
Avoid Sun Exposure for four weeks after treatment.
Allow the peeling to occur naturally. Do not pick! Picking may result in an infection or scar.
Do Not apply any moisturiser until advised ( this depends on the level of your treatment), as applying hydrating products too early delays the peeling process.
For the first 24 hours:
Like a mild sunburn, your skin may feel warm and pink for several hours. It will be fragile, so treat it gently.
For all levels of treatment:
Do not cleanse the treated area for 24 hours.
Skin to be kept dry
Always wash your hands thoroughly using antibacterial soap before touching treated areas
Flaking Phase
Low Energy Treatments
Two to three days recovery time with minimal, if any, skin peeling /flakiness.
After low-energy treatment, the skin must be kept dry for 24 hours. After this period, you can use a mild water-based cleanser, and when peeling has almost completed, apply a mild moisturiser.
The old skin will come off as you wash your face; however, you may not be aware of it.
Mid-level Energy Treatment
There will be a two to five day recovery time with more obvious skin flaking and peeling. The skin will generally start to flake within two to five days.
Allow the skin to peel before applying moisturiser/rehydration unless it persists for a few days.
Apply a mild moisturiser or rehydration gel once the peeling is close to completion. Applying a moisturiser too soon can delay the peeling.
High-Level Energy Treatment
Seven to ten days recovery time with skin peeling from day nine. The treatment area will appear red or sometimes darker for several days. You may also notice some swelling
Your practitioner might apply a barrier cream to the treated area to keep the skin moist normally; you should leave this on for 24 hours. After this, you may cleanse and reapply the barrier cream for 2 or 3 days, twice a day,
During the recovery time:
Do not use anti-ageing/exfoliating/harsh products
Avoid unintentional touching of the treated areas, such as rubbing your eyes
It is important that the treated skin is left in place until it is ready to flake.
Avoid exercise where skin may become flushed or sweaty
Avoid any hot or cold environments, e.g. sauna
Avoid contact with pets in the treatment area
Start to use a mild cleanser only when instructed.
Try to sleep on your back following treatment of the face. Using extra pillows can help
For higher-intensity treatments, change the pillowcase daily until you have healed.
Contact Cheshire Lasers if you have continued pain, blistering, oozing or concerns about itching in the treated area
After flaking
After your skin has flaked, it is important to resume the use of a zinc oxide or titanium dioxide-based SPF 30+ sunblock to decrease the possibility of hyperpigmentation
Resume use of a high-quality mild moisturiser.
New skin will have formed underneath the layer of treated skin that flakes this will be fragile and must be treated gently.
It is normal for the skin to have lighter and darker areas as it heals.
This is usually temporary and will fade within approximately 1 – 6 months.
The treated area will most likely heal without any pigment changes.
When can I return to make-up or shaving and activities:
It will generally be 2 to 3 days after treatment before you can apply makeup or shave. This will depend on whether you had a low-energy or high-energy treatment.
We will advise you about this at your consultation.
What possible reactions may I experience after a Neogen Plasma Treatment?
Cheshire Lasers has provided the information above to reduce the risk of unwanted reactions from your Neogen Plasma Treatment.
It is extremely important you follow our advice to reduce the risk of complications from the Neogen treatment.
Common skin reactions depending on the depth and intensity of your treatment include:
Temporary swelling
Mild acne flare
Milia (tiny white bumps), which resolve on their own
Contact dermatitis is a localised skin irritation most often due to harsh product use
Petechiae are small red or red-blue spots that make up a rash.
Singeing of hair which will grow back
Possible complications
Continued pain, swelling or blisters
Herpes cold sore activation treatment
Hyperpigmentation
Infection
Scarring – Although very rare with NeoGen®, it is important to follow all post-treatment instructions carefully

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.
