Skinade

What is Skinade?

Skinade is a drink. It works from the inside out to rebuild and strengthen the collagen matrix below the skin’s surface. It also boosts natural levels of hydration and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Developed by leading UK scientists and manufactured in the UK, its patent-pending formulation contains high-grade collagen and essential micronutrients.

It contains high-grade collagen sourced from freshwater fish, which is low in sodium and avoids mercury contamination. It is a precious ingredient and 7000mgis included in each bottle.

Skinade contains only the highest quality ingredients with no artificial flavours or colouring and fewer than 35 calories. With natural flavours of peach and mangosteen, it offers a pleasant tasting and convenient addition to your daily skincare regime.

Drinking Skinade on a daily basis results in firmer, more even-toned, hydrated, radiant, youthful and healthier-looking skin. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles and repairs connective tissue. So you’ll also benefit from stronger, healthier and faster-growing hair and nails.

How does Skinade work?

Traditional anti-ageing products only function on the surface of the skin, skinade works from the inside out. The advanced formulation of low molecular weight collagen and essential micro-nutrients work synergistically to nourish your skin and promote a more youthful, glowing and radiant complexion. Hydrolyzed collagen helps the body form new collagen structures. It provides the amino acid building blocks and also stimulates the production of new collagen, elastin and moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid molecules.

Why is Skinade in a drink?

If you were to try to take Skinade’s ingredients in tablet form, you would need to swallow around twenty large tablets daily. Not only is this difficult, but the body also finds them tough to digest. The valuable nutrients would pass through your system unused instead of being absorbed by the body.

What are the benefits of Skinade?

After completing a Skinade course, many consumers have reported the following results:

Improved skin hydration and radiance
Reduced appearance of lines and wrinkles
Increased skin suppleness
Healthier looking hair and nails

Individual results will vary but, with continued daily use, your skin will continue to improve.

For best anti–ageing results we suggest a 90-day course.

Skinade contains the following high-quality ingredients:

Hydrolysed high-grade Marine collagen
Sourced from fresh-water fish, low in sodium and avoiding mercury contamination. 7000mg in each bottle.

Vitamin C
Essential for natural collagen formation and maintaining the collagen matrix. It also provides vital protection for the skin by boosting the immune system and reducing free-radical damage. It contains 450% of our recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C as calcium ascorbate without which fibroblasts proliferation cannot occur.

MSM

MSM is a naturally occurring form of organic sulphur found in all living organisms. It helps collagen and keratin formation, improves skin elasticity and inhibits cross-linking of collagen cells, a major cause of skin ageing.

Vitamin B complex

Riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3) and biotin contribute to the maintenance of normal skin health. Vitamin B2 also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Folic acid and vitamin B12 play a role in the process of cell division. The vitamin-B complex promotes more uniform, clearer, glowing and radiant skin.

Omegas 3 & 6
Sourced exclusively from organic flaxseed oil that plays an important role in balancing dry and oily skin.

L-lysine

An essential amino acid that is key to rebuilding the collagen matrix at a cellular level.

How do I use Skinade?

Drink one bottle of Skinade a day.

You will soon discover that taking a 360° approach to your skincare will leave your skin feeling smoother, firmer and stronger.

You can buy Skinade in a bottle or in a convenient 15ml sachet. So now you can fly with skinade.

CACI Jowl Lift

The CACI Jowl Lift has been developed to target muscle laxity around the jawline. It aims to improve the appearance of sagging jowls by lifting and firming facial contours to help achieve a natural, younger look without discomfort or downtime.

What is CACI?

CACI stands for Computer-Aided Cosmetology Instrument and is a system used for non-surgical facelifts. CACI treatments involve using micro-current energy, which is transmitted to the skin and muscles, stimulating increased muscle tone and collagen production. This leads to a lifted, firmer and refreshed appearance.

What is a CACI Jowl Lift?

The CACI Jowl Lift facial uses Quad Probe applicators designed to double the lifting action of the standard CACI treatment system, thereby enhancing results and reducing treatment time. These Probes send tiny electrical impulses into the lower half of the face and the upper neck area to tone the muscles, improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and redefine facial contours.

There is also a unique serum in the Quad Probe tips, this contains a powerful skin-firming formula to maximise the firming effect.

Before and after a course of CACI Jowl Lift Treatments

How long does a Jowl Lift Treatment take?

This CACI Jowl Lift takes only 15 minutes to perform. This is due to the Quad Probes specifically developed to target the muscles around the jawline.

At Cheshire Lasers, we recommend you schedule 30 mins when booking your owl Lift appointment.

Does it Hurt?

The CACI Jowl Lift treatment is completely painless, although some clients may experience a slight tingling sensation due to the micro-current or a metallic taste, which is perfectly normal.

How many treatments do I need?

The number of CACI Jowl Lift treatments needed may vary according to an individual’s needs. Cheshire Lasers recommends a course of about ten treatments over five weeks for best results.

When will I see results?

Results will be seen throughout the course. However, these are often short-lived at first. By five treatments, you usually start noticing improvements in your skin’s tone and texture. You will then see gradual improvements in the jowl as the muscles start to firm and tighten.

Do I need maintenance after the course?

A monthly maintenance session will help maintain results and your new and improved muscle tone.

The CACI Jowl Lift is a stand-alone treatment, but you combine it with one of our other CACI Non-Surgical Facelifts.

Am I suitable for any other Jowl Treatments?

You can also combine this treatment with other Jowl treatments to enhance the results. Find out about Cheshire Lasers’ other Jowl Treatments here.

Hyaluronidase

Cheshire Lasers provides Hyaluronidase Treatments, also known as Hylase Treatments, to dissolve Dermal fillers.

Whats is Hyaluronidase?

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid. It is a prescription-only treatment which is also known as Hylase.

Which Dermal Fillers can Hyaluronidase can dissolve?

It works best on Dermal Fillers, which consist primarily of hyaluronic acid. The enzyme hyaluronidase quickly gets to work by breaking down the filler just a few minutes after injection, which is then broken down and removed within a few hours. However, it can take a few days to see the final result.

Dermal Fillers that can be dissolved with Hylase include:

Restylane
Juvederm
Teosyal
Emervel
Belotero

Hyaluronidase is ineffective on Radiesse, Ellansé, Artefill, Silicone, Sculptra or other non-HA fillers.

Who performs the Hyaluronidase treatments at Cheshire Lasers?

All the specialists that provide Dermal Fillers at Cheshire Lasers Clinic have Hyaluronidase training so they can dissolve the filler they inject should a problem occur after treatment.

The following Specialists also perform hyaluronidase treatments for patients who have had treatments elsewhere.

Moira of Jouvence Aesthetics

Aesthetic Nurse Moira can only treat patients who have had treatments performed by other practitioners if the practitioners who performed the treatment makes a direct referral. The referral must include a full medical history, the type of product injected, the amount injected and where it was injected. The batch number and expiry date must also be included.

Katey Moulton of Nevaeh Aesthetics

Aesthetic Nurse Katey is trained and insured to remove Dermal Fillers with Hyaluronidase in the lips, perioral area, nasolabial fold and marionette area.

What does a Hyaluronidase Treatment involve:

The enzyme is injected the same way as any other injectable treatment, either with a needle or a cannula. The effects can be seen after several minutes, but it takes a few days to see the full results. Hyaluronidase is not new, it has been used by doctors for injections for years, most commonly to assist the spread of local anaesthetic solutions.

Does Hyaluronidase treatment hurt?

The treatment is a little uncomfortable, similar to other injectable procedures.

To minimize discomfort, we use a topical anaesthetic to numb the area before the injection.

We can also inject it with lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, to numb the area during the procedure.

How many Hylase treatment sessions will I need?

Sometimes you may only need a single treatment. This depends on the type of dermal filler we are dissolving and the volume we are trying to remove.

If you require further treatment, we prefer to leave at least five days between sessions to allow the first treatment to work fully.

Sometimes we may need to use Hyaluronidase in an emergency to prevent a complication such as a vascular occlusion. In this situation, we repeat the treatment every hour to restore circulation.

Which areas can Hylase treat?

The most common requests at Cheshire Lasers for hylase treatment are to dissolve lip fillers and tear trough fillers. These two areas are more prone to dermal filler migration, which can cause a poor cosmetic outcome.

Most areas treated with hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers can be treated with Hylase, including:

Lips fillers
Migrated lip fillers
Tear Trough fillers
Nasolabial lines
Perioral lines (smokers’ lines around the mouth)
Chin fillers
Cheek fillers
Under eye area

Are there side effects of Hyaluronidase filler dissolving treatment?

There are very few reported side effects with Hyaluronidase.
The commonest side effects are bruising which is usually minimal, and swelling.

Localised allergic reactions to the enzyme can occur. For this reason, we will book you in for a consultation and a patch test at least 24 hours before the procedure.

If you are allergic to bee venom or suffer anaphylaxis, you are more likely to react to Hyaluronidase. We do not recommend Hylauronidase unless the benefits of treatment significantly outweigh the risks.

How do I book a Hyaluronidase treatment at Cheshire Lasers?

After Dermal Filler Treatment at Cheshire Lasers

If you want to dissolve a dermal filler after treatment at Cheshire Lasers, please contact us. We will book you a consultation with the doctor/nurse who performed your treatment to assess your needs and advise you further.

After Dermal Filler Treatment elsewhere

If your dermal filler treatment was performed elsewhere, and you would like it dissolved, we usually recommend contacting the practitioner who performed it. They will know the quantity of filler in each area and the type of filler. With this knowledge, it is much easier to perform a treatment. All medical aesthetic practitioners should be able to provide this treatment if performing Dermal Fillers.

When a dermal filler treatment goes wrong, we understand that sometimes you may not want to return to your original practitioner. It can also be difficult when you move and your practitioner is too far away. In these circumstances, please get in contact.

To book a consultation to dissolve your Dermal filler with Hyaluronidase please email cheshirelasers@hotmail.co.uk

Please let us know as much information as possible about your treatment. It is helpful to know the product used, the location of the injections and the quantities at each injection site. This information will help us give you the best possible advice to help you achieve the best outcome.

This information will also help our client coordinators decide who would be the best specialist to help you. If your problem is difficult to treat, we can signpost to an expert in dealing with more complex problems.

How much does a Hyaluronidase Treatment cost at Cheshire Lasers?

Our Specialists all have their own price lists.

Generally, expect to pay between £250 and £500 for this advanced procedure.

Can you Dissolve my Dermal Fillers any other way?

At Cheshire Lasers, we also provide Topilase as an alternative to Hyaluronidase treatment. Topilase is a topical treatment for the correction of superficial hyaluronic acid dermal filler just under the skin.

Topilase was developed to dissolve and remove superficial filler placed in the lips and tear trough areas however has since been used successfully in other areas.

You can find out more information about Topliase here.

Reiki

At Cheshire Lasers, Reiki Treatments are provided by: Sharron Roughton and Tara Shotton

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that originated in the early 20th century. It aims to promote healing by channelling energy through the practitioner’s hands to the recipient, either through light touch or by placing the hands just above the body.

Reiki, pronounced ray-key, means ‘universal life force’ and refers to the energy field surrounding everything in our universe. Energy flows through channels in our bodies and if one’s channels become blocked or our energy is low, then we are more likely to feel the effects of stress.

Reiki can help improve any illness or condition and is particularly useful in relieving stress, depression, anxiety and pain. It is also an effective method of inducing deep relaxation and maintaining a balanced state of well-being. A Buddhist monk from southern Japan started to use Reiki in the 1920s as a spiritual healing technique. We all have a personal energy field made up of a system of connected ‘chakras’ around our bodies, and when they’re balanced, we’re physically and emotionally healthy. If they become blocked or unbalanced, it impacts our well-being. Reiki practitioners, or masters, can summon and direct good energy (happiness and calm) to replace ‘bad’ (anger, stress, and frustration), in turn restoring health and wellbeing.

Find out more about Reiki here.

What happens during a Reiki Treatment?

You lie down, fully dressed, and a reiki master places their hands very lightly on or just above to guide positive energy into your body. They don’t diagnose or offer cures but channel positive energy to improve physical and emotional issues. Some people experience a tingling sensation; others feel warmth or a cooling effect. In the main, it’s a relaxing experience.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It can be useful in helping virtually any illness and always creates a beneficial effect. Reiki also works in conjunction with other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. It is a spiritual healing treatment aimed at bringing about gentle balance and wellbeing.

Reiki may be beneficial for the following:

Depression
Anxiety
Emotional balancing, self-esteem
Sleeping problems
Relationship problems
Coping with changes in life
Pre and post-surgery
Trauma, grief
Pain
Mental, emotional, physical and spiritual healing
Side effects of medications and treatments

Reiki is very relaxing. During treatment, the practitioner will place their hands either on or off the body at specific treatment points.

A Reiki treatment lasts for approximately 60 minutes.

Reiki can be adapted to help most medical conditions. It is used safely to help people of all ages, including pregnant mothers, newborns, surgical patients, the frail and the elderly, in any situation.

ReikiFlex

Reikiflex is a relatively new combined treatment of Reflexology and Reiki. It offers a deeply relaxing complementary therapy to balance mind and body physically and spiritually.

This safe and unique treatment is aimed at those wishing to experience calming and spiritual therapy.

Being complementary, Reiki & Reikiflex work effectively alongside orthodox healthcare and natural remedies, expanding treatment options.

Endymed Facial Tightening

At Cheshire Lasers Endymed treatments are performed by our Aestheticians.

The Endymed 3DEEP Facial Tightening system can treat the eyes, face, jowls and neck areas with a three dimensional tightening and contouring treatment that provides deep, volumetric dermal heating using radiofrequency technology.

The Endymed DEEP Facial Tightening is a safe, FDA aproved, clinically proven system for treatment of facial wrinkles and skin tightening. Virtually pain-free, the Endymed DEEP Facial Tightening treatment is ideal for smoothing wrinkles, tightening and firming the skin and lifting facial and neck areas. It also has a special eye piece for targeting the hard to reach skin, around the eyes.

After a course of treatments you can enjoy tighter, younger looking skin with improved skin tone, texture and elasticity.

Is the treatment effective?

Yes – Endymed unique 3DEEP technology uses a unique form of Radio Frequency (RF) which is different to other RF machines. State of the art medical device engineering has enabled multiple sources of electromagnetic energy to work simultaneously and in synergy in the skin delivering a controlled, focused and deep heating that results in predictable and excellent clinical skin tightening results. Importantly Endymed 3DEEP RF delivers these clinical results without pain or down-time and with an excellent safety profile for all skin tones and colours.

View our suppliers before and after images.

How does Endymed DEEP Facial Tightening Work?

A form of energy called RF is applied to the skin to gently heat the skin, promoting accelerated collagen production and contraction of collagen fibres to restructure and tighten the skin. Endymed 3DEEP provides a focused and deep heating of the skin without pain. The 3DEEP unique and patented technology has multiple electrodes, multiple RF sources and a sophisticated phase control which works to drive the RF energy deep into the target tissue in the skin, comfortably and safely.

What happens during an Endymed DEEP Facial Tightening Treatment?

Our Aesthetician will cleanse your face and apply a thin layer of gel. An applicator that delivers the RF current is moved in circular motions over the skin and the skin will heat up. Our Aesthetician will treat each area until the desired temperature is reached and it is maintained for 2 to 3 minutes. Typically each treatment session lasts 30 to 45 minutes.

View a video of an Endymed DEEP treatment in our Clinic:

Am I suitable for Endymed DEEP Facial Tightening?

Endymed DEEP Facial Tightening is suitable for most individuals.

However, if you are pregnant or breast feeding, treatment is not advisable. If you have metal work in the facial area, please discuss this with us further. Simple filings and dental implants are usualy not a problem but metal work inserted following facial fractures and metal braces can be a problem.

What should I expect after treatment?

Your skin may be pink for a short time after treatment but this will subside quickly. You will not need any special after care. However we will still recommend SPF to block shows harmful UV rays.

Immediately after treatment, the contraction of collagen fibres improves skin elasticity and the skin may appear firmer. However, the benefits are progressive and you will not see the full results until 2 to 3 months after a series of treatments.

How many treatments do I need?

For best results you will need a course of 6 to 8 treatments every 10 to 14 days.

How does the treatment feel?

The Endymed treatment is not painful – most people actually comment on how pleasurable and relaxing the heating sensation is! Treatment is comfortable due to the unique, technology of Endymed DEEP Facial Tightening.

Are there any side effects from Endymed Treatments?

Side effects are extremely rare.
Slight, short term discomfort can occur, this is usually easily tolerated. Oedema (swelling) and erythema (redness) can occur, but will disappear within a few hours.

Consultation Procedure Prior to Treatment

On arrival at Cheshire Laser you will also be asked to complete a medical history form. Our Aesthetician will assess you and confirm your suitability for treatment. She will then go over our consent form for you to complete, if you decide to have a treatment.

Here is a video about Endymed 3DEEP Facial Tightening

Emotional Freedom Technique

What is Emotional Freedom Technique?

Emotional Freedom Technique ( EFT) is a very powerful but gentle way of releasing emotional, mental and physical pain.

EFT uses a process that works with the energy meridians of the body, balancing the body’s energy system and removing any disturbance or emotional blocks to the energy flow around the body.

Very simply, EFT is a form of acupuncture, except you use your fingers instead of needles on the energy meridians.

It works by gently tapping on specific meridian points on the face and hands, whilst at the same time using spoken affirmations.

Within a couple of sessions, all negative and pent-up emotions may be released, enabling you to reduce stress, tension or pain.

The process is easy to memorise, and within just one session, you will have the skills to use EFT on yourself for any situation you may find yourself in, and as it is portable, you can use it anywhere.

EFT is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, including:

Addictions and cravings
Anger
Anxiety and panic attacks
Headaches and migraine
Joint and back pain
Phobias
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Self-esteem and poor self-image
Sports injuries and performance anxiety
Stress and mental health issues

Brazilian / Hollywood Bikini Hot Waxing

Natasha and Jade provide Brazilian and Hollywood Bikini hot waxing at Cheshire Lasers Clinic for women. They have many years of experience and provide this treatment to a high standard.

What does intimate hot waxing involve?

The hot wax is spread thickly onto the skin and allowed to dry slightly before it is gently peeled away. The hair comes away with the wax, leaving behind smooth skin. This is different to traditional waxing which involves warm wax and strips. Hot wax does not stick to the skin so is better for more sensitive areas.

Although the treatment may be uncomfortable the hot wax method is far less painful than most and pulls hair directly from the roots. The benefits include fewer in-grown hairs, less breakage and therefore longer re-growth periods.

The most popular treatments are the Brazilian and the Hollywood. Our therapists have been performing these treatments for many years.

Whats the difference between Hollywood Wax vs Brazilian Wax?

The Brazilian Hot Wax

Brazilian bikini waxes were introduced to New York in 1987 by 7 Brazilian-born sisters. The Brazilian remains a popular hair removal method in the US.

Brazilian waxes differ from regular bikini waxes because hair is removed in the front, back, and everything in between. A “landing strip” is typically left in the front.

The Hollywood Hot Wax

The Hollywood wax removes all the bikini hair, so you are entirely hair-free.

The Thong Bikini Hot Wax

The hair is taken from around the front and sides, but the middle (labia) and around the back are left alone.

If you wear a thong and want down there to be smooth and clean of hair without feeling too bare, this is a good option.

The shape of the hair at the front is totally up to you, but a landing strip is a classic option. Other popular shapes include a tiny triangle and a postage stamp but feel free to ask for whatever style you prefer.

Who provides Brazilian and Hollywood Bikini Waxing at Cheshire Lasers?

Jade has her own Business, Beautology she specialises in Brazilian and Hollywood Bikini hot waxing and has been performing these treatments for years. She uses premium lycon wax which is fantastic for those intimate areas. She has received some fantastic reviews and comes highly recommended. Jade is available four days a week, including some late evenings, and she also works most Saturdays.

Natasha trained in hot bikini waxing in intimate areas in 2011 and has been performing treatments since. For years it was one of her favourite treatments. Although Natasha is now a level 4 laser technician, and provides more laser treatments in this area than waxing.

Pre-Treatment Advice

Exfoliate the area lightly a few days before the treatment (2-3 times a week). This will help prepare the skin and reduce ingrowing hairs.

Take a shower before your appointment, or if you are coming from work, shower in the morning. You may want to bring wipes to freshen up when you arrive.

When should I shave? Ideally, your hair should be around a quarter-inch long. For most people, this is about four weeks of hair growth after your last shave, wax, or other hair removal method. We can wax the area if there is less than this, but regrowth may be faster.

We recommend you wear loose clothing to your appointment.

If you find the treatment uncomfortable, you may want to take pain relief such as paracetamol.
We don’t recommend this treatment when you are near to or on a period, as it can be more uncomfortable at this time.

Post-Treatment Advice

Avoid tight clothing after treatment.

Don’t expose the area to sunlight or tanning beds for at least 48 hours.
Avoid exercise, swimming, sauna and steam rooms for 48 hours. It’s fine to have a warm bath or shower but avoid exposing the area to hot or cold temperatures.

Use gentle moisturising products on the area and nothing perfumed that will irritate the skin.

Gently exfoliate the area 48 hours after 2-3 times a week to prevent ingrowing hairs.

Book your next wax in around 6 weeks’ time, depending on your regrowth.

Reflexology

Reflexology is based upon the principle that there are energy zones that run throughout the body and there are reflex areas in the feet and hands that correspond to all the major parts of the body. It is a complementary therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet or hands, which correspond to different organs and systems in the body.

This practice aims to promote health and well-being by stimulating these reflex points.

Benefits of Reflexology:

Increased circulation: by stimulating blood flow, reflexology may enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, potentially improving overall health.
Improved relaxation: may help alleviate stress and induce deep relaxation, contributing to overall well-being.
Sense of well-being
Supports the immune system
Elimination of toxins from the body
Lowers Blood Pressure.
Cancer Relief.
Detoxification.
Improve tension, stress and circulation associated with enhancing your own fertility.
Beneficial in supporting the symptoms in Pregnancy.
Enhanced Sleep Quality: The relaxation effects of reflexology might contribute to better sleep patterns, aiding those experiencing insomnia or disrupted sleep.
Digestive Support: Some individuals report relief from digestive issues, such as constipation, through reflexology sessions.
Hormonal Balance: Reflexology might aid in balancing hormones, which can be beneficial for individuals experiencing issues related to hormonal imbalances.
Immune System Boost: By promoting overall relaxation and balance, reflexology may support the immune system’s function, potentially reducing the frequency of illnesses.
Anxiety and Depression Alleviation: Reflexology may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, promoting emotional balance and mental health.

Reflexology can help alleviate many problems, such as colds, sinusitis, migraines, asthma, sciatica and insomnia. It relaxes, reduces stress and detoxifies the body and can be used effectively as a preventative form of health care. It can bring a balance to conditions such as hormonal imbalances, digestive problems, back pain and headaches.

Who Provides Reflexology at Cheshire Lasers?

At Cheshire Lasers Clinic, we have two highly experienced Reflexologists:

Tara Shotton who performs Reflexology at Cheshire Lasers on Thursdays. Find out more about her experience, treatments and prices here.

Sharron Roughton provides Reflexology at Cheshire Lasers on Fridays and Saturdays. Find out more about her prices, treatments and experience here.

What does Reflexology involve?

A Reflexology treatment (with or without specially selected aromatherapy oils) lasts for approximately 60 minutes. The first treatment, however, can take up to 90 minutes as a full client consultation occurs before the treatment can commence.

During a typical reflexology session, the reflexologist will take a detailed medical history. Sessions are usually performed in a comfortable chair or couch. The client will be asked to remove footwear and socks. The practitioner will make a visual and tactile examination of the area to be worked on before beginning the precise reflexology movements. The particular types of movements involved require the application of appropriate pressure using the thumb and fingers.

Why may I benefit from Reflexology?

Reflexology may be beneficial in restoring balance and harmony in the body and releasing tension. Practitioners believe that it helps facilitate a deep state of relaxation, calm emotions, and produce a serene mind. Research studies support many of these benefits.

Many people describe a profound sense of relaxation and increased energy following their session. In addition, specific studies indicate that reflexology may reduce pain and anxiety.

Reflexology is growing increasingly popular across Europe and Asia as both a complement to other treatments and as a preventive measure. One example is Denmark, where various municipalities and companies have employed reflexologists since the early ’90s.
According to several studies, this practice in Denmark has resulted in reduced sick leave and absenteeism (and significant economic savings for the employers). Employees have consistently reported a complete or partial improvement in conditions where they sought reflexologists’ help and even relief for additional problems related to stress. In one municipal district, almost one-third of the employees reported greater satisfaction with their jobs after completing six sessions with a reflexologist.

For some this can lead to anxiety and low mood. Some people also find it difficult to talk to family and friends and can often feel isolated.

How can Acupuncture help with Fertility?
