Signature HealthAriana Torti Naturopathic Osteopath Osteopathy


Ariana Torti is a Naturopathic Osteopath who owns her own Business, Signature Health she practices from a room at Cheshire Lasers Clinic in Middlewich two days a week.

She has a Master’s Degree in Medical Sciences from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in London with a double Diploma in Naturopathy (D N) and Osteopathy (D O, M. Ost). She won prizes in Visceral Osteopathy and Clinical Psychology. Ariana’s post-graduate specialism is in Functional Medicine. She completed the Applying Functional Medicine in the Clinical Field (AFMCP™-UK) training in 2018 and the Gastrointestinal Functional Medicine training in 2019. She is a member of the Institute of Functional Medicine, where Dr Rangan Chatterjee (of BBC One “Doctor in the House”) was also a student.

Ariana completed her certification as a K-Laser Therapist in 2021 to complement her Osteopath Treatments.

She also offers gait analysis for the prescribing and purchasing of custom orthotics and is a qualified Sports and Holistic massage therapist.


Ariana Provides a combination of the following Treatments:

Osteopathy

Ariana uses Osteopathy to treat various pain and dysfunction, from pregnancy-related postural issues and post-operative hip replacements to neck pain and sciatica. She has a keen interest in supporting patients suffering from challenging conditions that require patience and understanding, such as fibromyalgia and arthritis. She favours a multi-disciplinary approach.

K-Laser Therapy

Ariana combines her osteopathy with K Laser as K-Laser “turbos” the benefits of osteopathy, such as speeding up the healing of muscles and improving joint articulation.

K-Laser is a hospital-grade therapeutic tool used to ease pain. It is non-invasive and painless.

K-Laser increases circulation, transferring oxygen faster to the damaged tissues. K-Laser increases the production of cellular energy (ATP). The cascade of beneficial effects culminates in DNA and tissue repair. Treatment reduces inflammation, muscle spasms and dysfunction.

K-Laser Therapy accelerates healing, working deeper and faster than what may be achieved through manual therapy alone.

K-Laser is the go-to for patients nervous about painful manipulations, manual therapy in general, or simply too sensitive to pain. It is the first resort for ligaments and supports the treatment of bladder and prostate dysfunction.

Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). It promotes health and well-being and uses natural therapies and techniques. Naturopathic practitioners believe in the body’s innate ability to heal itself and aim to support this healing process through a holistic approach.

Naturopathy views the body as a whole, interconnected system. Practitioners consider physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person’s health when assessing and treating health issues. It also uses natural remedies, such as herbs, plants, vitamins, minerals, and other natural substances, to support the body’s healing processes.

Naturopathy places a strong emphasis on preventive care and involves a treatment plan which educates patients about their health conditions and encourages them to actively participate in their healing journey actively, making informed choices about their health and well-being.


Ariana’s Specialist interest in chronic conditions

Ariana is keenly interested in supporting patients who suffer from challenging conditions requiring patience and understanding. These include fibromyalgia, arthritis, or bladder dysfunction.
She favours a multi-disciplinary approach.
For example, pain may be trapped or originate from your bowels, so lifestyle changes, nutrition advice and K-Laser therapy all have a part to play in addressing long-term conditions which affect your quality of life.
Equally, knee or back pain may be alleviated with custom orthotics. Ariana provides gait analysis and prescriptions for bespoke insoles prepared just for you by orthotics specialists.

Ariana originally trained as a secondary school teacher. She then worked for international companies where she was responsible for corporate training, project management and account management. Her experience of stress in the workplace gives her insight on how best to support individuals who wish to balance health goals with their lifestyle. She has a personable approach that helps relax nervous individuals and generates long-term loyalty amongst returning patients.

Ariana enjoys alternative rock music, history, literature, yoga and Pilates. She is a native French speaker, and consultations may also be done in French as required.

PRP for Intimate Areas


intimate PRP Cheshire o shot p

Moira Grobiki’s Guide to Intimate PRP Treatments at Cheshire Lasers:

Moira was an NHS Clinical Nurse Specialist in Sexual Health for 16 years before specialising as an Aesthetic Nurse. Therefore, training in intimate PRP was a natural progression, allowing her to practice in her two areas of expertise here in Cheshire. She holds a BSc (Hons)  Diploma in Nursing and specialist sexual health and PRP training.


What is PRP?

PRP is short for Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is a non-surgical treatment that utilizes your own body’s healing abilities to stimulate skin and follicle recovery. It is a natural treatment that uses the platelets from your own blood. These activated platelets secrete and release at least seven different growth factors, which enhance the natural healing process of the skin and hair follicles. The growth factors & proteins activate stem cells and stimulate cellular repair and regeneration. In addition, collagen production and the formation of new blood vessels occur and further aid in tissue repair.

During a PRP Therapy treatment, Moira takes a small amount of blood like a standard blood test. The tube containing your blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and platelets from the other blood components. This PRP layer is what we inject into the treatment area using a small sterile needle.

PRP is frequently used to rejuvenate the face, scalp and body. Specialist nurses and doctors who are also trained in sexual health, gynaecology or urology are also using intimate PRP to help improve vaginal, vulval, urinary and penile function.

Find out more about PRP in general here.


Intimate Rejuvenation with PRP

PRP can help improve vaginal/vulval/urinary & penile function. It will improve many symptoms associated with natural ageing.

Women

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) can help to improve sexual health and function in women, including the ability to orgasm. It is sometimes known as the ‘O Shot’ and has been used for a number of years.

Childbirth, menopause, ageing and other natural factors change the health and anatomy of womens vulva, urethra & vagina. The resulting effects of vaginal laxity, dryness, painful sex, vulval and vaginal shrinking and tightening, stress incontinence,  episiotomy scar pain, and lack of orgasm. These effects fundamentally change the lives of women in a way that quite often is very difficult to share and discuss even with the closest of friends, meaning women often tolerate the symptoms & suffer in silence.

Women receiving the treatment report the following improvements after vaginal PRP:

  • Increased Blood supply to the area which can lead to increased stimulation and arousal
  • Increased ability to orgasm
  • More intense orgasms
  • Reduced pain during sex
  • Reduced pain at the episiotomy site
  • Improved continence

Labial PRP can also be used to improve vulval shrinkage and discomfort, improving the appearance and comfort of the vulva (this may also be used with specialist dermal fillers)

The treatment consists of taking a sample of your blood, spinning it in a machine to obtain the platelets, then injecting the platelets into the area between the bladder & the vagina and behind the clitoris. Only two injections are needed & numbing cream is used beforehand to reduce discomfort. Labial PRP to improve vulval appearance and comfort requires two injections into the vulva. 

Men

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) can help to improve sexual function, including the ability to orgasm. It is sometimes also known as the ‘P-Shot’ and is a relatively new treatment.

Most men occasionally fail to get or keep an erection. This is usually caused by stress, tiredness, anxiety or drinking too much alcohol, and it’s nothing to worry about. If it happens more often, it may be caused by physical or emotional problems.

Erectile dysfunction is common in men over 40 years old, with approximately 40 percent being affected to some degree.

PRP treatment promotes blood supply, production of growth hormones & healing to strengthen the area.

Men receiving the treatment report the following improvements after penile PRP:

  • Better overall blood flow to the penis                     
  • Stronger, firmer erections
  • Easier to achieve and maintain erections (i.e., improved sexual stamina)
  • Improvement in or resolution of penile curvature
  • Resolution of penile pain with erection
  • Increased sensitivity in the penis and increased ability to orgasm.

The treatment consists of taking a sample of your blood, spinning it in a machine to obtain the platelets, then injecting the platelets into the side of the penis. Moira then applies numbing cream to the treatment area. Once this has taken effect, most people require four injections to cover the treatment area.       


How many treatments will I need?

While responses to treatment vary, many people will require one session, which usually lasts 6-12 months.

There is no limit to the number of treatments you can have, some patients find repeat treatments every 3-6 months very beneficial.


How much is Intimate PRP at Cheshire Lasers?

The cost depends on the treatment areas please see below:


Intimate PRP – Vaginal

PRP injections into the genital area promote healing, increase collagen & strengthen ligaments. The treatment consists of only two injections. Vaginal PRP can improve vaginal dryness, painful sex, stress incontinence & sexual function (ability to orgasm).

Effects can last up to 6 months.

One treatment is £600

If Labial PRP added treatment cost is £900 for both treatments


Intimate PRP – Labial

Used to improve labial atrophy – as we age the labia may appear to shrink & diminish. PRP injections in the labial area increase collagen production, improves the labial skin and also improves the appearance of the labia.

One treatment is £600

If added to Vaginal PRP treatment cost is £900 for both treatments.


Intimate PRP- Penile

Treatment of the penile area can increase collagen production and also improve sexual function (ability to orgasm). Effects can last up to 6 months.

Intimate PRP FAQ’s

Do I need to see a specialist?

The treatment is highly specialised and usually given by registered nurses and doctors who are also trained in sexual health, gynaecology or urology. Every patient requires a medical consultation and examination before the procedure to ensure that the treatment is appropriate for you.

Does it hurt?

We will use topical anaesthetic cream to numb the area before injections.

How many treatments and how often is this therapy needed?

While responses to treatment vary, most people will require one session, which usually lasts 6-12 months. There is no limit to the number of treatments you can have, some patients find repeat treatments every 3-6 months very beneficial.

Your practitioner will determine your treatment protocol according to your needs.

What results can I expect from PRP treatments?

Most people notice results 2-3 months after the first Intimate PRP treatment.

Are there possible side effects of PRP facial rejuvenation?

Minimal swelling and redness for 12-24 hours.

How long do results last?

Treatment results vary, however, in most patients the results last 6-12 months. Repeat treatments (every 3-6 months) will maintain the results.


 

Ear Wax Removal



What is Earwax?

Earwax is produced by glands in the ear canal the colour can vary from yellow to bright orange, to dark brown.
It has the important function of keeping the ears clean and helps to protect the sensitive ear canal from things like bacteria and debris that can cause infections. In a healthy ear, the wax collects dirt, dead skin cells and bacteria and simply falls out without you noticing, cleaning as it goes.


Why do we get a build-up of Earwax?

Our ears are self-cleaning, with the help of cilia which are small hairs in the ear canal, which help gently and slowly remove the wax. Normally, it produces enough earwax to protect the ear without causing a build-up, but sometimes, this wax can become hard and impacted.

Some people are more prone to ear wax, especially if you have hairy or narrow ear canals or if you are unlucky and make more wax than normal. As we age, our wax can become hard, making it more difficult to fall out.

The use of cotton buds in an effort to ‘clean’ the ears from excess wax can damage the cilia hairs along the ear canal, which helps remove the wax and can actually cause earwax to build up. Cotton buds can also push the wax further into the ear, which leads to impacted wax.

The use of hearing aids, earbuds, earphones, earplugs and any other trauma to the ear canal can also lead to a build-up of wax.


Problems caused by Earwax build-up

Earwax build-up can lead to problems like hearing loss, tinnitus and discomfort.

The discomfort can vary and sometimes may cause only mild irritation but it can be much more severe and has even been known to cause severe discomfort enough for people to present to Accident and Emergency departments because of the distress caused.


How can you treat earwax build-up?

Do not use your fingers or any objects like cotton buds to remove earwax. This will push it in and make it worse.

ear wax removal middlewich Cheshire

Earwax usually falls out on its own. If it does not and blocks your ear use ear drops. Put 2 to 3 drops of olive or almond oil in your ear twice a day for several days. Over 2 weeks lumps of earwax should fall out of your ear this tends to happen more often at night when you’re lying down.

Do not use drops if you have a hole in your eardrum (a perforated eardrum). Speak to a pharmacist about earwax build-up. They can give advice and recommend chemical drops to dissolve the earwax. The earwax usually falls out on its own or dissolves a week or two.

See a nurse at your GP practice if:

  • your ear will not clear
  • your ear is badly blocked
  • you can’t hear anything

Traditionally, medical professionals would use ear syringing to remove an earwax build-up.
This would involve irrigating the whole ear canal with water to loosen the wax built up to try and clear it.  This procedure can also damage the cilia in the ears leading to further wax build up later. There is also a small risk of infections and a very rare risk of damage to the eardrum.
Ear Microsuction is now the preferred method of wax removal; however, this is not available in most GP surgeries.


Preventing earwax build-up

Once your ears are better, you can keep using ear drops to soften the wax; this will help it fall out easier, preventing a further build-up.

Here is a review after an Ultraformer MF2 Treatment:

5/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely fabulous service as always at Cheshire Lasers by all the staff I have met.
After having the Ultraformer treatment with Natasha, who is professional caring and explains every step.  I am so very pleased with the results.  I had the treatment for the under-eye area and has brightened, plumped and tightened exactly what I wanted. The treatment itself is quick painless and has no downtime, brilliant!
Will carry on having this as a maintenance treatment when needed and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their under eye area.

Cyspera


cyspera cysteamine cream Cheshire


What is Cyspera Cysteamine Cream?

Cyspera was the original and first cysteamine cream. It contained 5% Cysteamine cream, which can lighten skin and treat hyperpigmentation disorders such as age spots, melasma, and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. 

This product was discontinued in 2022.

It was replaced by an improved version called Senté Cysteamine HSA Pigment & Tone Corrector containing 5% Cysteamine Cream, niacin amide and HSA in a 50ml tube.


How does Cyspera work?

As the name implies, the cream contains cysteamine, a metabolite of L-cysteine and a natural cellular component. L-cysteamine inhibits the production of melanin in the skin in several different ways which is why it is so effective.

A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial confirmed the efficacy of cysteamine cream in treating epidermal melasma.

A reduction in pigmentation is usually seen after 6 weeks of consistent use. To achieve optimal results, it takes 8 to 12 weeks of regular use.

Find out more about other pigmentation treatments at Cheshire Lasers here. 


If you are interested in purchasing one of our available Cysteamine creams and would like to discuss which treatment is suitable for you, please complete the consultation form here. We will then contact you to book a consultation.

Reflexology for Menopause Transition


Reflexology treatments Middlewich Cheshire


At Cheshire Lasers Clinic, Sharron Roughton and Tara Shotton provide Reflexology for Menopausal Transition Symptoms.


What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is based on the principle that certain reflex points on the feet are linked to different organs of the body. When the points on the foot are stimulated by massage, it is thought that this then stimulates the corresponding organ.


Reflexology can help manage and improve symptoms during Perimenopause, Menopause, and beyond.

It offers a holistic approach to hormonal regulation and supports women through the natural life cycle. Reflexology is thought to help manage and improve symptoms and support health and general well-being.

Menopause reflexology focuses on key reflexes for common menopausal symptoms. The treatment aims to reduce symptoms on a physical and emotional level.

Reflexology can be helpful for ladies looking for a natural approach to managing their menopausal symptoms and for those on HRT.

You can book a course of treatment as part of your menopause care or you can book a one-off treatment for relaxation or an ongoing management of symptoms.


What is the Perimenopause?

Before menopause, a woman’s periods typically become irregular, which means that periods may be longer or shorter in duration or be lighter or heavier in the amount of flow. During this time, women often experience hot flushes/flashes; these typically last from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. They may be associated with shivering, sweating, and skin reddening. Hot flushes often stop occurring after a year or two. Other symptoms may include poor memory, general aches and pains,  vaginal dryness, trouble sleeping, and mood changes, including anxiety. The severity of symptoms varies between women. These symptoms can occur at any time in the perimenopause and can affect women in their 40s until their later 50s and sometimes beyond.


What is the Menopause?

Menopause is the time in most women’s lives when menstrual periods stop permanently, and they are no longer able to bear children. Menopause typically occurs between 49 and 52 years of age. Medical professionals often define menopause as having occurred when a woman has not had any vaginal bleeding for a year. It is due to a decrease in hormone production by the ovaries.


The following studies demonstrate the benefits of Reflexology during the Menopause:

Sculptra


sculptra Cheshire


Dr Teri Johnson performs all the Sculptra Treatments Cheshire Lasers Clinic


What is Sculptra?

Sculptra is a facial treatment that gives you deep tissue regeneration to help reduce the signs of ageing in your face. Unlike traditional Dermal Fillers, Sculptra works to replace lost collagen and replenish volume in your face more subtly over time, giving you a more natural looking appearance.


Sculptra is one of Dr Teri Johnson’s favourite treatments, in fact she has Sculptra herself. She trained in this procedure in 2008 and has attended regular update courses since then to improve her techniques and make sure she is up to date with current practice. Dr Teri follows the latest recommendations for preparing and administering the treatment, she uses a cannula to inject the product most of the time but sometimes she still uses needles.

On average Dr Teri performs around 5 Sculptra treatments a week at Cheshire Laser.


Sculptra was previously known as New-Fill and was launched in the U.K. in the year 2000. It was rebranded under the new name Sculptra in 2004 and is growing in popularity in the U.K. and Europe.

Sanofi Aventis used to distribute Sculptra however Sinclair took over its distribution a few years ago.

The advantage of Sculptra is that larger areas can be treated with a longer lasting result.


What is Sculptra made from?

Sculptra is made from Poly-L-lactic acid a synthetic polymer manufactured from lactic acid it does not require a skin test.
ThePoly-L-lactic acid is completely broken down within the skin over a period of months, however the results (new collagen growth) can last for up to 3 to 4 years.


Sculptra can be used for:

  • Replacing lost volume caused by ageing
  • Smooth lines and wrinkles in the cheeks and chin
  • Deep folds and wrinkles
  • Volume defects e.g. sunken cheeks and temples
  • Contour enhancement
  • Improving skin texture

How does Sculptra work?

The Poly-L-lactic acid in Sculptra stimulates collagen production in the areas it is injected to replace lost collagen and replenish volume in your face. The results develop slowly over time, giving you a natural looking appearance.


How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments required to achieve the desired affect depends on your age and how well you make collagen due the the product.

It also depends on how deep your wrinkles are as well as the amount of volume, lift and contouring you desire.

For optimal results 2-4 treatments are usually required using between 2 and 6 vials of Sculptra. Treatments can be every 6 weeks, however they can be spaced every 3-6 months if you are not in a rush to see the end results.


How long does Sculptra last?

In contrast to some other treatments that require frequent refresher sessions, clinical trials indicate that Sculptra is effective for up to three years and in some cases longer, most people find the results last around two or more years.


During a Sculptra Treatment:

Dr Teri will make sure your face is thoroughly cleansed.
She will then apply a cream to numb the skin.
Photos will be taken of your face, and you will be examined to decide which areas need treatment.
The treatment itself will take about 30 minutes, and Dr Teri will use either a cannula, a needle or both depending on your needs.
Dr Teri will then massage your face and advise you about aftercare.


After Sculptra Treatment:

Massage is very important after Sculptra treatments and should be performed for 5 minutes, 5 times a day over the first 5 days.

After this, massage twice daily for 5 minutes for 6 weeks.

Massage is very important after Sculptra treatment it ensures the even distribution of the product in the tissue and makes sure collagen production occurs evenly and not in clumps.

After treatment, you should notice gradual results over the next several weeks. In general, it takes approximately six weeks to see some effects and the effects continue to develop up yo a year after treatment, sometimes even longer.


Side Effects:

Common effects at the site of injection include:

  • Bleeding
  • Tenderness
  • Mild Discomfort
  • Redness
  • Bruising
  • Swelling

These side effects generally resolve in 2-6 days.

More rare side effects include:

Nodule formation (small bumps) after injection. This is very rare and can be caused by too much product being injected or lack of massage. These small bumps may not be visible, and you may notice them only when you press in the treated skin. These bumps tend to happen within the first 6 to 12 months after the first treatment. Typically resolution is spontaneous, over a period of months. Massaging regularly after treatment reduces the risk of nodules.

Tissue infection/abscess is very rare and can be treated with antibiotics.
Granuloma (tissue nodules) are very rare and can be treated with injection of steroid into the affected area.

Hypersensitivity/allergy is very very rare and can be treated with antihistamines.
