Lip Hydration

Lip Enhancement

A lip enhancement treatment plumps the lips, replaces lost volume and improves lip hydration. Dermal Fillers are the best treatment for this.

Lip Rejuvenation / Restoration

There are many treatments available for Lip Rejuvenation at Cheshire Lasers. Dermal Fillers are also successful for this treatment; a soft subtle dermal filler around the lip area recreates a youthful appearance, adds back hydration, and can significantly reduce fine lines.

Lip Rejuvenation with Dermal Filler is available at Cheshire Lasers with the following specialists:

Aesthetic Nurse Moira uses Belotero Balance which is excellent for improving even the finest likes around the Mouth. Dr Johnson uses Juvederm and Restylane dermal fillers. Katey uses Restylane and Dr Drinnan uses Juvederm.

The following images are provided by Aesthetic Nurse Moira.

She uses Beletero Balance in her patients to soften the lip lines and rejuvenate the area about the mouth. Moira uses a special blanching technique to decrease the lines but not increase the volume of the area.

Botox Treatments

Botox can be used around the mouth to offer two types of results:

Smoker’s Line Reduction

Botulinum Toxin relaxes the muscles that purse the lips. By reducing the repeated contractions, the fine lines caused by the movement reduce for about 8 to 10 weeks.
This treatment takes knowledge and skill, as too much muscle relaxation can lead to weakness of the mouth muscles.

The Lip Flip

The Lip Flip is when botox injections around the mouth muscle at certain points relax the lip muscle and ‘flips’ the lip out to make it appear fuller, plumper and much more visible.

Find out more about Botox Treatments in general here.

Botox treatments around the mouth are provided by Dr Teri Johnson, Moira Grobiki and Dr Kyra Drinana.

Injectable Skin Booster Treatments

skin booster profhilo Nucleofill sunekos Cheshire

What Are Skin Booster Treatments?

” Skin Booster” describes a range of Injectable Skin Rejuvenation Treatments.

The first Skin Boosters were made from hyaluronic acid gel, similar to dermal fillers. The gel was injected into the top layers of the skin to produce skin hydration and plumping.

Sometime later, more advanced products became available that did not just plump and hydrate the skin but also had an additional action on the skin cells. These new products stimulate the cells of the skin in a range of different ways, so they don’t just hydrate the skin but also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.

These treatments perform a process of bio-remodelling, and all of them require a course of treatments a number of weeks apart.

Which Skin Booster Treatment is Best for me?

There are so many available now it is difficult to know which one is best for you. At Cheshire Lasers, we have tried so many over the years. Some we continue to use, and others we have discontinued when something better has come along.

Each treatment contains different ingredients with different properties and also different modes of action.
The procedure for delivering the treatments to the skin also varies. Some require needle injections, whereas others require a cannula to place the product into the skin. The downtime after each treatment and the common side effects post-treatment also vary.

There are pros and cons to each type. It depends on the area of concern, which treatments you have had before and how you have responded. Do you prefer a needle or cannula treatment? Or prefer to have fewer treatment sessions? Or prefer a treatment which does not contain hyaluronic acid?

Collagen stimulation is not an exact science, and some people respond to one treatment better than another.

At Cheshire Lasers, the following Skin Boosters are available:

Profhilo

Profhilo has been one of the most popular skin booster treatments at Cheshire Lasers.

This treatment has been available since 2017 at Cheshire Lasers, so our medical team have lots of experience with this treatment.

Active ingredients: Hyaluronic acid.

💉💉 It involves ten injection points which result in small lumps under the skin.

The treatment takes 5 to 10 minutes.

The lumps go down over 8-24 hours as the product disperses under the skin.

The treatment promotes collagen and elastin growth to reduce skin laxity and improve skin hydration.

Most people need two treatments one month apart.

Results last for approximately six months.

To maintain results, you will require a maintenance treatment every 4-6 months.

This treatment is performed by Dr Teri Johnson, Aesthetic Nurse Moira Grobicki and Dr Kyra Drinnan.

Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides have been used since the 1950s; initially, they were used for wound healing.

Active ingredients: Polynucleotides ( the building blocks of DNA).

Nucleofill, Plenhyage, and Plinest are all polynucleotide treatments that regenerate the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin growth in the skin. They also improve signs of ageing, reduce laxity and dehydration, and improve scars and some pigmentation.

Polynucleotides can improve the skin anywhere. They are a popular treatment for the tear trough area, where they help decrease lower eyelid laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles and improve skin hydration.

💉💉 It involves multiple injections into the skin with a needle or cannula.

Side effects include bruising and swelling for a few days.

The treatment stimulates fibroblasts to create collagen and elastin; it also stimulates hydration and has an antioxidant effect.

Most people require two to three treatments, two to three weeks apart.

You will need another treatment every three to six months to maintain results. (Frequency depends on your response to treatment.)

Find out more about Polynucleotides here:

This treatment is performed by Dr Kyra Drinnan, Dr Johnson, Dr Hazlehurst and Aesthetic Nurse Moira Grobicki.

Light Eyes Ultra

Light Eyes Ultra has been around in the UK since 2020.

It contains a cocktail of hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and botanical extracts formulated for the delicate eye area.

💉💉 The treatment involves multiple injections with a very fine needle tip.

Side effects include minimal swelling, redness and bruising, which usually subside over a few days.

It helps to brighten, firm, and refresh the area around the eyes.

This treatment is most suited for under-eye dark circles.

Most people require four treatments, two weeks apart.

This treatment is performed by Aesthetic Nurse Moira Grobicki and Dr Kyra Drinnan .

PRP

PRP has been around a long time.

It is a natural skin booster treatment that uses the platelets from your own blood.

When activated, platelets secrete and release at least seven different growth factors which enhance the natural healing processes.

💉💉💉The treatment involves multiple injections with a fine needle.

PRP can treat all the layers of the skin, superficial and deep.

The treatment stimulates collagen growth, improves the blood supply to the tissues and can greatly improve skin tone and texture. It also reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Most people require three or four treatments, one month apart.

PRP is performed by Aesthetic Nurse Moira Grobicki.

Sunekos

Sunekos has been around since 2020.

Active ingredients: Hyaluronic acid and Amino Acids.

💉💉💉💉It involves multiple injection points.

It involves injecting two different products; one is for deep hydration, and the other goes more superficially into the skin.

Sunekos stimulates the fibroblasts in the skin to produce collagen and elastin.

It helps improve skin ageing, skin dryness, acne scarring, sun damage, loss of tone & elasticity, under-eye dark circles and fine lines and wrinkles.

Sunekos can treat the face, neck, décolleté, forehead and hands. It is particularly effective in the Periocular (eye) area, to reduce fine lines, dark circles and bags.

Most people require four treatments, 7-12 days apart.

You will require a maintenance treatment every 3-6 months to maintain results.

Sunekos is performed by Aesthetic Nurse Moira Grobicki.

TCA Touch Medical Peel

What is a pHformula TCA Touch Peel?

TCA is a powerful acid used in the more aggressive chemical peels for skin improvement and rejuvenation. It promotes rapid skin improvement and also dermal collagen remodelling. The acid damages the surface of the skin, which then causes healing and repair. Although it works wonderfully, it also comes with a much higher risk of side effects in comparison to milder peels.

pHformula uses a unique delivery complex PH-DVC™, which transports the TCA molecules into the deeper skin layers allowing the active ingredients to work deeper within the skin rather than damaging the surface. This complex significantly reduces skin injury. Therefore the skin is more tolerant, and there is rarely any downtime, unlike many other TCA peels.

pHformula TCA Touch contains:

30% TCA
Arbutin for its skin-lightening properties
Magnesium Sulfate for its anti-inflammatory effect
PH-DVC the delivery complex

This combination results in intense stimulation and cell renewal with excellent skin tolerance and effectiveness.

The PH-DVC complex allows for maximum efficacy without the negative side effects normally seen with conventional peelings, allowing controlled protons release. No severe superficial trauma, complications or side effects and excellent skin tolerance!

When to consider a TCA Touch Peel

TCA Touch has an instant lifting and cell renewal effect ideal for anti-ageing but can help improve skin with a range of problems.

Sun-damaged skin
Lines and wrinkles
Pigmentation and skin discolouration
Newly obtained scars
Suitable for all skin types
Can be used on the face, neck and décolletage

Find out more about pHformula TCA Touch and view other before and after images here.

Contraindications to TCA Touch

This treatment is very safe.

The main contraindications include:

Pregnancy
Breastfeeding
Infection near the treatment area
Any skin infection
Sensitive skin
Sunburn

How often can I have treatment:

The TCA Peel is usually a one to three-session treatment with around 4 to 6 weeks in between each session.

At your review, our doctor can assess your skin and decide with you if further treatments are appropriate.

What reactions may I have?

Normal Reactions include:

Mild irritation at the time of application.
Redness
Tightness
Flaking or mild shedding
Peeling
Temporary dryness

Aftercare

It is important that you:

Avoid direct sun exposure for a few weeks after treatment.
Use a high SPF

Our doctor will recommend prescription home care to prepare your skin for treatment and to use after the treatment. It is important that you use only these products for the next 2-3 weeks to achieve the best results and to help the healing process after the skin resurfacing treatment. Using other products can increase the risk of unwanted reactions.

The prescription strength products are all formulated with the unique PH-DVC™ complex to help you achieve the best possible results.

24 hours post-treatment, tightness and dryness may be seen; the use of the homecare alleviates this.

48-60 hours later, you may see flaking or mild shedding

What does the TCA Touch Treatment involve?

The treatment takes only 30 minutes.

It involves cleansing the skin and applying a primer to remove any surface oil and maximise penetration of the peel complex.

Two layers of the TCA Touch™ solution are massaged gently into the skin which is then soothed with pHformula post-procedure cream and protected with UV Protect SPF 50.

Reviews from Moira’s clients:

Moira was great! I would highly recommend her. Not only is she extremely professional, she takes her time to listen to you and explain the treatment. I felt I was completely in safe hands and could not have been any happier with the results. I have my next appointment booked! K Burgess

I had my treatment with Moira and she was absolutely wonderful. I was nervous as I had never had the treatment before and she made me feel at ease. The main thing is that she took the time to explain the procedure, she did not rush and I felt that she had a genuine interest in me and making sure that I fully understood. She was professional and reassuring throughout and dealt with all my questions. The time she took made a real difference and as a result of the care and attention she showed, I will be booking more treatments and recommending Cheshire Lasers to others. Anita B

Moira thank you so much for my recent appointment, I am so happy with my results. Having moved to Cheshire recently I’m so happy I’ve found Moira, she’s highly experienced and really took time to understand my needs during the consultation. I would highly recommend Moira as you know you are in safe hands. Hannah S

I think when having wrinkle relaxing injections it’s important to do your research into the clinician and I can honestly say I wouldn’t trust anyone near my face with a needle other than Moira! She’s professional and reassuring throughout, explaining the procedure in fine detail, not to mention how happy I am with the results which is why I’ve just returned for the second time. Thank you Moira. C Smith

I went to see Moira regarding a mole reduction and she was extremely helpful. She gave me lots of advice and information about electrocautery and moles. Moira actually diagnosed my mole as a skin tag and conducted the procedure there and then in that appointment. She made me feel so at ease during the procedure and she is extremely professional. Moira is very friendly and made me feel very comfortable during the whole appointment. I would definitely recommend going to Moira if you have any skin tags or moles which need removing and I will definitely be going back in the future to have more removed. Lucy F

Moira was professional, caring and attentive….nothing was too much trouble….soooo bk with lovely Moira…..xx Marc C

Thank you so much for my wrinkle relaxing injections, I’m so pleased with the results. I’d also like to thank you for putting me at ease, you explained everything brilliantly & even better I didn’t feel a thing. I look forward to seeing you soon x Karen L

I have used Jouvence Aesthetics twice now, and can honestly say I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Moira is so professional and really makes you feel at ease, I am very pleased with my results. Angela B

Moira is excellent, very professional and takes a lot of care over the treatment, I highly recommend her! Rachel

Moira was absolutely brilliant. Her nursing experience and professionalism shone through and I new I was in a safe pair of hands. I really can’t speak highly enough about Moira and I have to say I can be a little over critical sometimes so believe me when I say this lady is great ! LC

I got my mum skin tag removal as a Christmas present, carried out by Moira. My mum is over the moon and wishes she had it done a long time ago. She said it was painless and Moira was the loveliest person. So much so she has had a further treatment of skin tag removal to remove further tags that bothered her. The results are fabulous. Thank you. Anonymous

Fast approaching my 6th decade, I decided my skin and face was in need of some sort of repair!
I had little knowledge of fillers, Botox or any other sort of aesthetic treatments.
Decided I needed to research the matter, so I went to see four different practitioners who all had different ideas!
I chose Moira eventually for a number of reasons:
Similar in age and a woman who understood I didn’t want to attempt to look 20, but just better than I was (me on a really really good day)!
We agreed on a combination of retinol treatment, to assist with sun damage and teenage years of spot picking and residual scars to start with. Then a combination of Botox, fillers and the perfect peel.
Every procedure was fully explained in terms of what the expected results would be, & why fillers and Botox went in different areas! All was done fine, Botox on forehead, and lines.
Fillers in cheeks to pull everything up & pad it out, & fillers in my lip lines. Painful a little and I looked like a pin cushion for a couple of days.
We then went for the Perfect Peel with booster, and wow what a result! Skin is soft, clear and really great! Fine lines reduced too. It was well worth the discomfort ( I won’t pretend it was great to go through especially in summer)! However, if you do the research the peel does what it says on the tin, unfortunately, you are actually better trimming off the dead skin with scissors! In terms of instructions, I followed them to the letter, bar slathering on additional moisturiser every couple of hours rather than twice a day! I looked like an oompaloompa for a couple of days and then the peel started!
A few weeks in I look younger, fresher faced less worried (no lines), and it has done wonders for my confidence I will smile now on photos. I have had lots of compliments to my amazement where people have said how WELL I look. I admit to having it done and all say they wouldn’t have known!
I look forward to my next appointment for a possible boost!
I would say if you are contemplating work, do your research, work out what you want, spend your money it’s pointless having a bit done, my thought was “in for a penny in for a pound”! And the whole lot had exceeded my expectations,
Thanks Moira your professionalism was top notch.
I am happy to show anyone my pre and post pics or chat anyone through the procedures. Sally S

Moira was brilliant! Explained everything fully, I felt more confident having the treatment as I was initially nervous.Anonymous

I’ve been so happy with the effects both times and 10 months on still see the benefits of my injections, still not returned to original state and continue to get compliments can’t wait to get my next lot in April. 😘😘😘 Moira Grobicki you’re a star, wouldn’t put my trust in anyone else. Carly S.

Treated amazingly! Made me feel very relaxed & helped me decide the best treatment for the best results. Anon

Cysteamine Cream for Pigmentation

What is Cysteamine Cream?

Cysteamine cream is a skin-lightening agent known for treating hyperpigmentation disorders such as age spots, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Dermatologists have been recommending it for several years since it has been available in the UK.

Cyspera Cysteamine Cream was the first brand available in 2019, and it became popular due to published evidence supporting its effectiveness. A few years later, it was discontinued and replaced by Cyspera Intensive which has also been discontinued in the UK.

In 2023, Santé created an alternative version, Senté Cysteamine HSA Pigment & Tone Corrector.

In 2024, Dermaquest launched their Cysteamine products DermaQuest MelaQuest Cysteamine Serum and DermaQuest MelaQuest Cream with Cysteamine these products are different to the original products as they can be left on the skin and no not need to be washed off.

What is the difference between Dermaquest Cystamine Serum and Cream, Cyspera and Cysteamine HSA

The original Cyspera contained 5% Cysteamine cream and came in a 50g tube. Cyspera Intensive, contained 7% Cysteamine cream with added ingredients such as AHAs to enhance pigmentation reduction, Isobionic-Amide, which is an anti-inflammatory B3 derivative and other ingredients to mask the smell slightly because the ingredients could not be combined in the tube it comes in a 30ml dual pump. This product has been discontinued in the UK. These were both mask treatments which needed to be washed off after 15 minutes.

Senté Cysteamine HSA Pigment & Tone Corrector contains 5% Cysteamine Cream in a 50ml tube. It also contains B3 niacinamide and HSA, which in combination improve skin tone by treating pigmentation and reducing redness or inflammation. Senté Cysteamine HSA Pigment & Tone Corrector should be applied like a mask on the problem area and washed off after 15minutes.

DermaQuest MelaQuest Cysteamine Serum and DermaQuest MelaQuest Cream with Cysteamine also contain antioxidants- Glutathione and Ginko Biloba to reduce inflammation and skin sensitivity, a tyrosine inhibitor – Kojic Acid to help reduce pigmentation and Snow Algae, which improves the skin’s collagen and cellular defence.

DermaQuest MelaQuest Cysteamine Serum contains 4% Cysteamine, which is shown to be as effective as prescription 4% hydroquinone and DermaQuest MelaQuest Cream with Cysteamine contains 3% Cysteamine. Both of these products can be left on the skin, which makes your daily routine easier. They still have an aroma, but this is masked by some of the other ingredients. For best results, Dermaquest advises you to use the serum and then the cream twice daily.
Some people may try the serum first on its own and add on the cream if the would like to enhance the results.

Skin Sensitivity with the Different Cysteamine Creams

Cysteamine is known for causing irritation for some users, hence why the latest versions contain ingredients to counteract this.

Sante, however, uses their HSA compound to provide a soothing repair base to the Cysteamine cream, so it is more suitable for sensitive skin and red skin.

Dermaquest uses glutathione and Ginko Biloba to reduce inflammation and skin sensitivity,

How to use the different Cysteamine Creams

For all products: If you have never used it, begin with a patch test. Then, apply every other day to the treatment area and increase to everyday use as tolerated.

For Cyspera and Sente products:

Do not wash the skin before application.
If necessary to wash, you must wait for one hour before applying Cyspera and 20 minutes before applying Senté Cysteamine HSA Pigment & Tone Corrector
Apply a thin layer on the pigmented skin you wish to treat
Leave on for 15 minutes
Remove by washing the area with a gentle face cleanser.
Gently pat your face dry and apply a gentle moisturiser and SPF if in the day

Do not leave on for more than 15 minutes.

Intensive phase: Once per day for up to 16 weeks.
Maintenance phase: Twice-weekly, once per day, indefinitely.
Use a high SPF sunblock to prevent activating the pigmentation.

For Dermaquest Serum and Cream:

Cleanse the skin with DermaQuest MelaQuest Facial Cleanser
Apply the serum twice daily DermaQuest MelaQuest Cysteamine Serum
For best results then, apply DermaQuest MelaQuest Cream with Cysteamine

For best results, you need to make sure you are consistent and apply products daily.

How does it Cysteamine 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.

It works as an Antioxidant and also inhibits the Tyrosinase enzyme, reducing the production of melanin precursors, therefore decreasing pigment production.

There is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial that confirmed the efficacy of cysteamine cream in the treatment of epidermal melasma.

A reduction in pigmentation is usually seen after six weeks of consistent use. It takes 8 to 16 weeks of regular use to achieve optimal results

pHformula Radiance Boost Treatments

pHformula Radiance Release System is an in-clinic treatment perfect for boosting the skin and making it more radiant.

It is an excellent treatment to consider before and after sun exposure, as the L-ascorbic acid suppresses melanocyte activity and reduces the harmful effects of the sun’s rays.

It also helps to strengthen the skin’s collagen and elastin network and speed up the skin’s healing and repair rate.

The treatment suits skins with photo-ageing and pigmentation and is also an excellent preventative treatment.

What is in The pHformula Radiance Release System?

pHformula Radiance Release System contains a complex of pure L-ascorbic acid, Retinol, and Hyaluronic acid. It also includes the pHformula special delivery complex, which enhances the penetration of the ingredients to the deeper layers of the skin.

During treatment, we activate the complex with a pHformula radiance release activator before applying it to your skin. This ensures the treatment is at optimum potency to achieve the best results.

Which Treatments contain the Radiance Release System?

Radiance Boost Summer Facial

We combine a gentle resurfacer treatment ( SP Complex) with the pHformula Radiance Release System to suppress melanocyte activity, stimulate collagen and reduce the effects of the sun’s harmful rays. We then apply a mask to treat your skin type, or you can take a mask to use at home later in the day when you have more time.

You can book the Radiance Boost Facial here.

VITA C. Radiance Resurfacing Treatment

We combine a gentle CR Complex Resurfacing System with the pHformula Radiance Release System.

This facial is excellent in the summer, before and after a sunny holiday, and before a skiing trip to reduce the harmful effects of winter sun. Please be aware that it is still essential to protect the skin from UV radiation using SPF 50+ and to avoid direct extended sun exposure.

We then apply a mask to treat your skin type. Alternatively, you can take a mask home to use later in the day when you have more time.

You must collect a CR sample to do a test patch 4 or 5 days before the treatment.

To book a VITA C. Resurfacing Treatment, you can either book an appointment and arrange to collect the sample through reception or book a consultation for a skin assessment, and we can give you one then.

Radiance Boost add-on Treatment

You can also experience a Radiance Boost added to your usual CACI Facial, Endymed, Ultraformer, Microneedling, or Thermaclinic Facial. When booking, simply choose the add-on treatment you would like to try.

pH Formula Pre and Post Treatment Advice

Do I need to prepare my skin?

We recommend for the best results you prepare your skin with pHformula homecare products for two weeks before your first treatment. This will enhance your overall results and allows you to get used to the products in the stronger resurfacing serums.

Alternatively, you can book in for your first treatment when we will perform a Vitamin C Radiance treatment, a skin sensitivity test and a mask treatment. We will then start you on a skin resurfacing homecare kit that contains the fundamental products to optimise your results in further treatments and also maintain the best possible results during the treatment programme.

Whichever approach you prefer we still recommend a full consultation prior to treatment to make sure that you do not have any medical conditions that will affect the treatment. We can arrange this over the phone, by video or face to face.

pH Formula After Care

pHformula homecare products can be used to assist the healing processes after treatment.

You should also ensure you apply a factor 50 SPF for 5-10 days following treatment when your skin will be more sensitive to UVA and UVB damage.

You are pregnant or breastfeeding.

You have a history of keloid scarring, scleroderma, collagen vascular disease or other cardiac abnormalities, and haemorrhagic disorders

Cyspera Intensive Cream System

Cyspera® is a biological depigmenting cream for treating melasma and hyperpigmentation concerns.

The active ingredient is cysteamine is naturally present in human skin cells. It regulates melanin synthesis in the skin and is a highly effective topical treatment for pigmentation. The new formulation of Cyspera Intensive contains 7% Cysteamine.

Hyperpigmentation and Melasma are common skin conditions in which some areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin. Pigmentation occurs when an excess of melanin is produced by melanocytes, the pigment cells, which are moved up to the skin’s surface. Hyperpigmentation can be caused by inflammation, hormonal stress, sun damage, or other skin injuries.

Cyspera® is a biological molecule that reduces melanin pigments in human skin. It helps remove brown spots, treats pigmented marks and produces an even and light skin complexion.

Significant depigmenting effectiveness.
Highly biocompatible and well-tolerated.
Non-cytotoxic, non-mutagenic, non-carcinogenic
Superior benefit/risk ratio compared to hydroquinone –and all other alternatives.

Research shows:

It is essential for the skin to acclimatise to Cyspera Intensive cream by limiting initial use to 5 minutes once per day.

After one week, increase to 15 minutes.

If you experience irritation, discontinue use for a few days until your skin recovers, then restart the application for 5 mins.

Apply the cream over the pigmentation / melasma only. You do not need to apply it everywhere. Dont worry it will not leave your skin looking patchy.

We recommend you use SPF 50 to enhance the results.

When using the system, we recommend you follow this protocol:

Intensive phase:
