An impaired skin barrier can cause inflammation and redness. This can be caused by stress on the skin some as extreme heat or cold, or products applied to the skin, as well as skin conditions such as Dermatitis, Eczema, and Psoriasis. Sometimes the skin appears angry and inflamed; other times dry and flaky, but sometimes the barrier breakdown can be more subtle in appearance.
To improve redness in these situations, we need to repair the skin barrier first before addressing any remaining redness.

HArmonyCa is a dual-effect Hybrid Injectable. It contains two active ingredients, calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) and hyaluronic acid (HA). These two components are in well-known dermal fillers and have both been in use for over two decades.
It also contains lidocaine, an anaesthetic, to reduce the discomfort of treatment.
How do HA and CaHA work?
Hyaluronic acid has a volumising, lifting and hydration effect. The results are immediate and can last anything from 3 to 18 months.
Calcium hydroxyapatite has an excellent collagen stimulation effect which causes skin firming and tightening. Over time the particles stimulate the production of a collagen network in the skin, creating a tightening and lifting effect that can last 1-3 years.
Which areas can HArmonyCa treat?
HArmonyCa works best under the surface of the skin where collagen stimulation is needed. It cannot be injected around the eyes, lips or mouth.
What makes HArmonyCa different from other Biostimulators?
Biostimulators work differently, and the results and longevity vary from person to person. What makes HarmonyCA even more different is that it is the first one to combine a biostimulator with hyaluronic acid.
HArmonyCa Aftercare
You should avoid strenuous activity and exposure to sunlight and tanning lamps or extreme weather conditions for 24 hours post-treatment in order to reduce redness, swelling and irritation.
Massage the area morning and night for seven days to reduce the incidence of nodules.
If nodules (small lumps and bumps under the skin) appear, you should massage the treated area, and if they do not go in a day or two, please contact us for an urgent review.
Redness, swelling, itching, discomfort and tenderness are common after treatment and usually settle within 24–48 hours.
ALWAYS PROMPTLY report the following to us:
Any adverse event which doesn’t resolve within the typical time frame
Any adverse event which worsens,
Any other adverse event
Less common adverse effects include:
bruising
prolonged swelling
fluid under the skin
longer lasting nodules
extrusion (misshaping due to force)
Rare side effects include:
infection
induration (hardening)
skin pigmentation,
inflammatory reaction
allergic reaction
migration
persistent nodules (small bumps)
granulomas (small area of inflammation)
necrosis (cell death)
blindness
Who Performs HArmonyCa Treatments at Cheshire Lasers?
The Following specialists performs HArmonyCa treatments at Cheshire Lasers.
How do you Remove Semi Permanent Makeup and Microbladed EyeBrows?
At Cheshire Lasers, we use our Lynton Lumina Q Switched laser to remove semi-permanent makeup eyebrows and micro-bladed eyebrows. This is the same machine we use for removing conventional tattoos. Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove eyeliner or lip liner this way.
Can you Correct an Area Instead of Removing the Entire Brow?
Depending on your concern, we can treat small areas to correct your eyebrows, or we can treat the whole eyebrow.
How does Laser Semi Permanent Makeup Removal Work?
The laser cracks the semi-permanent makeup pigment tattooed into the skin to create smaller pigment particles. The body then breaks down these smaller particles and removes them slowly over time.
How often will I need Treatment?
We normally recommend a treatment every 6 -12 weeks. This depends on how quickly you want it to fade.
How Many Treatment Sessions Will I Need?
Most people need between 3-6 treatments. This will depend on whether you want the pigment to fade or go completely.
Unwanted Effects from Laser Semi Permanent Makeup Treatment?
The commonest unwanted reactions often seen after laser treatment of semi-permanent make-up are:
eyebrow hair reduction
a change in the colour of brow pigment
Approximately 10% of the eyebrow hairs can be destroyed due to the laser treatment. Although we move these hairs out of the way during the removal process to prevent this as much as possible. In most cases, these hairs grow back, but the outcome varies from person to person. Eyebrow hairs can also temporarily go paler, but you can tint these a week after the treatment.
The laser oxidises the pigment in the skin during treatment; when this occurs the pigmentation can change colour. Depending on the pigment, it can go darker in colour, or the colour can change to an orangey/rusty colour. Once the pigment is oxidised it can then be treated in subsequent treatment.
What Will My Brows Look Like After Treatment?
You may see frosting and whitening of the pigment immediately after treatment, it is also common to see some pinpoint bleeding and some swelling. The reaction usually settles after 1-2 weeks.
How long Before I can Have Further Semi Permanent Makeup?
After laser treatment, we recommend you wait 8-12 weeks before commencing treatment.
Please ask us the exact time we recommend you wait as this will depend on many factors.
How Much is Laser Treatment of Semi Permanent Makeup?
At Cheshire Lasers, we use Dermaforce to deliver RadioFrequency (RF) Microneedling. This advanced treatment combines microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF) technology to effectively treat a large number of cosmetic concerns, with excellent results.
This combination treatment has become more and more popular recently due to improvements in the way the technology is used to deliver better results. It is also more popular due to its extensive coverage on social media and in the press.
How RadioFrequency Microneedling Works
Insulated fine gold-plated needles deliver Bi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF) into the skin. The depth of the treatment varies depending on the skin concerns that need treating. The radiofrequency energy heats the tissue in the region of 55 – 65°C and, depending on the depth, will stimulate cell renewal, new collagen, increased hydration and resurfacing.
How is New Collagen Stimulated?
The energy/heat released into the skin causes immediate trauma to the existing mature, dehydrated collagen cells causing contraction and damage to this tissue. This damage stimulates a fibroblast action (fibroblasts are the connective tissue cells that produce collagen and elastin) which results in the production of new collagen and an increase in the diameter of the collagen fibres. The spaces between the fibres are also reduced.
This result causes an increased density of the dermal layer giving a skin-tightening effect.
What Can RadioFrequency Microneedling Treat?
Loose and Sagging Skin
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Pitted Skin
Uneven skin texture
Stretch Marks
Which areas can it treat?
We usually recommend a full-face treatment rather than treating specific facial areas. However, we can focus more on specific areas if they need more improvement.
Areas that RF Microneedling work well on include:
Crows feet
Neck and décolletage
Perioral/ Mouth area
Jowls and jawline
Large pores
Scaring
RF Microneedling can also treat areas on the body, including hands, arms, knees and abdomen.

Threads
If it is in a different area, treatment can be commenced 2-8 weeks later, depending on your assesment.
Retinol product and Prescription Vitamin A treatments stop three days before treatment and restart at least three days after or once the skin has fully recovered.
What is a RF Microneedling Treatment Like?
The treatment can be uncomfortable due to the needling and the heat generated. We can reduce the discomfort by applying anaesthetic cream before your treatment.
During the treatment, your skin will go red and will start to feel warm, like sunburn.
During Treatment
Shortly after Treatment
You will see red squares on your skin due to heat energy and the vacuum in the handpiece. These squares usually go in a few hours, but sometimes it can take a few days for them all to go from the face, and even longer after body treatments.
Up to 24 hours: you will possibly experience erythema and mild swelling.
2–3 days: reduced erythema and minor skin dryness and flaking.
3–4 days: potential dryness.
4–5 days: full recovery.
4–6 weeks: improvement in collagen health visible.
Side Effects after RF Microneedling
Expected side Effects Include:
Redness for up to 24 hours
Mild Swelling up to 24hrs
Dryness and Flaking for around three days
Complete recovery usually occurs 3 to 5 days after treatment.
Less Common Side Effects Include:
Bruising
Prolonged redness or red patches for several days
Prolonged dryness and flakiness for a week
Please contact us if you experience any other side effects after your treatment,
Pre Treatment Advice:
Stop using ‘active’ skincare three days before treatment (ie. AHA, BHA, Retinol (Vitamin A)).
Avoid direct sun exposure before and after treatment.
Excessive facial hair, beards and moustaches need to be clean-shaven prior to treatment.
Avoid the use of aftershaves and perfumes on the treatment area.
Post Treatment Care
Avoid direct sunlight for 24 hours, and no sunbeds during your Dermaforce course.
Do not apply spray tan or self-tan for 2–3 weeks post-treatment.
Use SPF 50 sunscreen.
Avoid touching the skin directly after treatment.
Keep skin dry for 24 hours and avoid scratching
Avoid active skincare for 3–5 days after treatment.
No swimming for 24 hours
No exercise or strenuous activity that will cause sweating until the skin has recovered.
Post Treatment Suggestions
Use a clean pillowcase.
Use hydrating and anti-inflammatory skincare.
Avoid non-mineral makeup for 24 hours.
Avoid swimming, hot tubs, saunas and active exercise for 48 hours.
Consider the environment. Hot, humid conditions can contribute to excess inflammation.
The CACI Hand Rejuvenation Treatment is CACI’s newest treatment which treats the hands with a unique combination of their new Rejuvenating Hand Mask and Electro Glove technology.
Hands can be one of the first areas to display signs of ageing, they are also constantly exposed to the elements often causing the skin to become sun- damaged, dry, cracked and dehydrated.
This treatment will leave your hands feeling silky smooth and looking visibly softer and more youthful.
What Does the CACI Hand Rejuvenation Treatment Involve?
It involves the application of the CACI Rejuvenating Hand Masks, then inserting the hands into the CACI Electro Gloves (made from a special electrically conductive material). The Gloves are then connected to the CACI machine, which produces tiny electrical impulses which deliver the rejuvenating effect.
The Hand mask is an intensive skin conditioning glove which contains powerful ingredients, including Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolysed Collagen and Shea Butter. These ingredients help combat the sign of ageing by softening the skin and smoothing the appearance of fine lines.
The electrical pulses help deliver the product into the skin and boost the circulation, as well as stimulate collagen. This improves skin firmness and also leaves your hands feeling soft, supple and rehydrated.
How Often Should I Have a treatment?
You can have a course of treatments. Similar to other CACI treatments, a course of 10 is usually required for best results, ideally two a week.
However, you can have a one-off treatment to give your hands a treat and enhance their hydration.
How Long Does the CACI Hand Rejuvenation Treatment Take?
The treatment takes 30 minutes.
You can have the treatment on its own, but it is more popular as an add-on treatment as we can treat your hands at the same time as some of our CACI facial treatments. This means the total treatment time is only an extra 10 minutes.
The Ultimate Hand Rejuvenation Treatment
The Ultimate Hand Rejuvenation Treatment involves the above CACI hand treatment combined with our popular Biorepeel TCA peel.
This treatment Combines the CACI Hand Rejuvenation with a Biorepeel.
The peel component improves collagen stimulation and resurfaces the skin, improving skin tone and texture while reducing pigmentation.
This treatment takes 40 mins but is 20 minutes as an add-on treatment.
It can be performed every two to three weeks, and you can perform the standard CACI treatment in between.
Which CACI Treatments can I add the Hand Treatment to?
What is the pHformula Oily and Congested Treatment?
The pHformula Oily and Congested Resurfacing Facial Treatment is a powerful yet gentle treatment for oily and congested skin types. This treatment provides exfoliation while maintaining the skin’s moisture barrier. It is an anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory treatment aimed at decongesting the skin and regulating oil production while still providing hydration. The strength of the treatment can be tailored to you. We usually start with a gentle facial treatment, which is more like an exfoliating facial and depending on your response, we can use stronger resurfacing ingredients to optimise your results.
This treatment can also brighten the skin and also address ageing concerns.
What does the pHformula Oily and Congested Treatment Involve?
STEP 1:
Cleanse the skin using E.X.F.O. cleanse.
E.X.F.O. cleanse contains active ingredients which assist in loosening rough dead skin cells while being hydrating and anti-inflammatory.
STEP 2:
Degrease the skin using S.K.I.N. primer.
This assists in cleansing and degreases the skin to guarantee optimum penetration of active ingredients.
STEP 3 (OPTIONAL):
25-minute DERMALUX treatment. (Select Dermalux add-on when booking)
DERMALUX uses colour wavelengths of visible light, which stimulate skin cells to repair and rejuvenate and also neutralise bacteria. Dermalux uses red light, blue light and infrared light. Blue light, in particular, can have a powerful effect on oily and congested skin, helping to kill bacteria, reduce acne, shrink pores and fight infection.
STEP 4:
SP Complex.
This gentle resurfacing complex exfoliates the skin and prepares it for further treatments by opening the cellular delivery channels. This allows better penetration of the active ingredients in the next steps and aids in activating the skin’s regeneration response. Here, we assess your skin sensitivity on a scale of 1-10, should you wish to move on to one of the stronger pHformula treatments next time.
Upon application of the complex, there will be a mild stinging sensation.
STEP 5:
Mask or Resurfacing treatment.
A mask is chosen to suit your skin concerns and sensitivity and whether you would like a facial or a resurfacing treatment. A popular treatment we may use here is the I.N.S.T.A.N.T. Resurfacing Mask, it leaves the skin radiant and glowing. Salicylic acid assists in superficial exfoliation and cell renewal. It provides tighter pores and skin texture. Impurities are absorbed without removing natural oils. Ferulic acid and Vitamin E provide an antioxidant effect to brighten discoloured skin. It also aids the skin’s ability to heal, repair, and protect itself from environmental damage. The mask is left on for up to 15 minutes.
STEP 6:
Removal of the Mask and Extraction Treatment.
Once again, we use E.X.F.O. cleanse to remove the mask and help with extractions for up to 5 minutes.
STEP 7:
V.I.T.A. C Radiance Release Treatment.
V.I.T.A. C radiance release contains a complex of pure L-ascorbic acid, Retinol, and Hyaluronic acid. It also contains the pHformula special delivery complex, which enhances the penetration of the ingredients to the deeper layers of the skin. This makes sure the treatment is at optimum potency to make sure the best results can be achieved.
This aids in skin hydration, promotes cell turnover, offers antioxidant properties, triggers collagen production, increases rate of skin repair, encourages circulation and offers UV protection.
Step 8:
Post Recovery Cream and SPF.
How much is a pHformula Oily and Congested Treatment?
We discuss your skin and perform a sensitivity test and a gentle exfoliating facial to determine your future skin needs for further facial or more advanced resurfacing treatments.
What are pHformula CR (Chronic Redness) Treatments?
pHformula CR Treatments include home products and clinic prescription facials for treating chronic redness. They can improve a range of red skin problems due to inflammation or a breakdown in the skin barrier function
Skin Redness can develop due to various skin changes; treatments vary depending on the cause. Find out more here.
What does the Chronic Redness Facial Treatment do?
At Cheshire Lasers, we provide a tailored facial treatment to address red inflamed skin. Once we have treated your skin once or twice, we can slowly increase the potency of the treatment according to your skin’s reaction and can perform a more substantial resurfacing treatment rather than our gentle facial.
Whichever treatment we use our aim is to:
Reduce redness
Reduce inflammation
Increase cellular turnover
Improve collagen
Strengthen the capillary walls
Smooth skin texture
Clearer, brighter skin
What does the CR Facial Treatment involve?
The CR treatment is like a regular facial, except the ingredients target chronic redness.
The treatment takes about 50 minutes and is a relaxing experience like any other facial. However, it also includes a gentle resurfacing step, which can cause slight stinging tingling for a few minutes. Despite the slight irritation during treatment, this step works from within to improve red skin and rarely causes any visible peeling or irritation after treatment.
For more detailed information, view the bottom of this page.
How do I arrange a Chronic Redness Facial?
Arrange a skin assessment consultation with one of our Aestheticians. They will assess your skin and advise if your redness suits this facial treatment.
If you are suitable, they will give you some products to try on your skin and schedule your first treatment.
They will also recommend you use some home care products for the best results.
If you are not suitable for this treatment, they will advise you about our wide range of other treatments that may suit your skin better. They will also give you samples to try.
