Reflexologist Sharron Roughton specialises in supporting the Maternity Journey through Pregnancy and Labour.
A reflexology treatment during pregnancy allows you to relax and put your feet up. As your body undergoes changes physically, hormonally, and emotionally, reflexology will support you at every stage of your pregnancy. Reflexology offers you a sense of calm and relaxation and usually improves your sleeping.
Reflexology helps to relieve pregnancy symptoms such as back pain, nausea, insomnia, fatigue, headaches and swollen legs. Many women enjoy reflexology throughout their pregnancy to help them stay relaxed and prepare for their body changes and their new baby.
Some people also use it to encourage labour if they are near or past their due date. It’s thought that it may stimulate the release of hormones to encourage the body to get labour started naturally. Midwives and Health Care Professionals are warming towards the benefits of reflexology.
Always check with your doctor or Midwife if you have any concerns about your pregnancy before starting treatments.
Bereavement Counselling is provided at Cheshire Lasers by Noah
What is Bereavement Counselling?
Bereavement counselling is a specialist type of counselling that focuses on the loss of a special person in your life. It helps you work through the feelings of grief and together with your counsellor, you can work thought the overwhelming and often chaotic thinking that is associated with the loss of a loved one.
In addition to this, Jamie offers therapy specific to pet bereavement, as the loss of our beloved pets can be very traumatic to some and challenging to overcome. Here at Cheshire Lasers, no loss is too big or too small, and Jamie fully understands that any loss can lead to significant and long-lasting problems.
What are the processes of Grief?
Bereavement is one of the most difficult times in any person’s life, and it can catch us completely off guard. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, as it is a very personal process that affects each of us very differently. Many different emotions can be felt right after a significant loss, including:
numbness
shock
anger
guilt
sadness
depression
pain
longing
desperation
Unfortunately, there is no set timeline for this process and people can jump between emotions for months or even years!
The loss of a beloved family member, a friend or even a pet can lead a person into a long cycle of loss and grief that can feel overwhelming.
How can Bereavement Counselling help?
Counselling can be a place where you can try to make sense of the chaos that you are feeling. It is a place where you can be yourself and grieve in the way you need to without having to worry about how it may be affecting the loved ones that are left. You can talk openly about any of the experiences you are having in a safe environment. Talking to a warm and empathetic ‘stranger’ can be a hugely rewarding experience and may help you get to a place where you can remember your special person or pet in a way that brings joy to your heart and get beyond the sadness of your loss.
The grieving process is one of the most challenging times in a person’s life. However, in counselling, you can explore the emotional and practicalities of your loss, whatever the form. Working together with your therapist can help you find your new normal!
Profhilo is currently one of the most popular treatments at Cheshire Lasers
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is a completely new product that uses patented technologies engineered for ‘skin remodelling’. It is made from hyaluronic acid (HA) like many Dermal Fillers however rather than filling lines it is designed to promote collagen and elastin growth to reduce skin laxity.
Thanks to the unique characteristics of Profhilo, improving skin laxity is easily obtained in only two sessions, with a 1-month interval, and only five injection points on each side of the face. Profhilo is suitable for practically anyone, men and women, from 30 years old and with no upper age limit.
Profhilo is the first BDDE-free stabilised injectable HA based product for treating skin laxity.
With one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market (64mg/2ml) it is not only boosting and hydrating the skin, but also remodels the ageing and sagging tissue. As a stabilised product Profhilo lasts in the skin around 28 days. During this time the stimulation of 4 different types of collagen and elastin takes place by slow release of HA.
The stimulation results in significant tissue improvement. Therefore, we cannot say that Profhilo is a skin booster as it also has a significant tightening/lifting effect on the tissue.
Profhilo is licensed as a Medical device and has a European CE Mark. The treatment is temporary as the HA completely breaks down within the skin, leaving no trace.
Can you combine Profhilo with other treatments?
Profhilo delivers great results as a treatment on its own or in combination with other aesthetics treatments currently on offer.
Treated areas shouldn’t be reinjected with any other products within 2 weeks of the initial procedure.
Unless the same doctor is performing the treatments we recommend, Botulinum Toxin should be injected two weeks prior or 2 weeks after a Profhilo treatment.
We recommend you leave a 2 weeks window pre and post any Microdermabrasion, chemical peel, facial or IPL treatment.
Fractional resurfacing 3–4 weeks distant.
We do not recommend Profhilo treatment in the immediate period following other routine medical procedures (including vaccination) and dental procedures. At Cheshire Lasers, we recommend you leave a 2-week window pre and post-Prohilo treatment.
What happens during a Profhilo Treatment?
During the treatment, we inject the product using very fine needles in five specific points on the face. These are called the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAPs).
At Cheshire Lasers, we usually perform Profhilo using this BAP technique. It makes the treatment effective and simple, reducing the chance of pain, bruising or haematoma at the injection sites.
Once injected, the product immediately starts spreading under the skin and disperses evenly, integrating within the skin’s existing tissue.
How long do the results last?
You should notice the results of the treatment – increased firmness, elasticity and an overall improved quality of your skin for around six months.
However, other factors can affect the results, such as your age, your lifestyle and your skin’s natural ageing process.
How many Profhilo treatments will I need?
For most patients, we recommend an initial course of two treatment sessions, with an interval of one month between sessions.
We then recommend top-up and maintenance sessions approximately every six months, depending on your body’s response to the initial treatment.
How much is a Profhilo treatment?
A single 2ml treatment is approximately £270- 325. The price varies according to the practitioner and their experience.
The following doctors provide Profhilo. You can view their prices on their page:
Are there any side effects from Profhilo treatment?
Immediately after treatment, lumps are noticeable at the injection sites and look like midgey bites. The lumps reduce quickly over a few hours and usually disappear by the next morning.
You may experience redness, itching, discolouration and tenderness at the injection site. These effects are mild and usually fade quickly.
Bruising can occur and may last several days, sometimes a bit longer.
Is Profhilo suitable for everyone?
Profhilo is suitable for anyone who is looking for treatment for the signs of ageing skin.

At Cheshire Lasers Clinic, Sharron Roughton provides Reflexology for Pre-Conception Care
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.
How can Reflexology help with Pre-Conception care?
Reflexology may enhance fertility by improving blood circulation throughout the body. This encourages the elimination of toxins from the body as well as aiding relaxation and reduces stress, all factors that may affect the body’s natural cycle and balance. Ultimately this can have a positive effect on wellbeing and encourage the body’s natural healing, and best possible conditions for conception to occur.
Reflexology can Enhance your general health in preparation for conception. Supporting you safely and effectively to enhance your natural fertility. Reflexology may help couples with fertility problems by strengthening the immune system, balancing the hormone production necessary for conception to occur. It also promotes good health and vitality in the reproductive organs, which includes helping to regulate periods, promote ovulation, reduce PMS, reduce the chances of miscarriage and also help increase sperm quality and quantity.
Fertility problems can be very stressful and a course of reflexology can also provide the relaxation needed to help return the body to its natural balance ready for parenthood.
Is Reflexology for Pre-Conception care just for women?
No, ideally, both the male & female partners would have treatments, particularly in the cases of unexplained infertility.
When is the best time to start Reflexology for Pre-Conception care?
Ideally, 3 months is the best time for couples to start preparing, as it takes this long to produce healthy sperm and 1 month for a healthy egg.
Does Reflexology for Pre-Conception Care Work?
Many women have found that the ancient art of reflexology can make a difference. Many believe that regular treatments helped them become pregnant.
In order to have the maximum effect, Sharron will take a holistic approach, in case anything else may be preventing pregnancy. Stress or worries at home or work, for example, can negatively impact the body’s equilibrium. Lifestyle factors—diet, exercise, and water intake—are also important.
Some years ago a Devon-based reflexologist, Jane Holt, was involved in the setting up of a randomised controlled research trial. The trial was undertaken at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth, ‘to determine the effectiveness of reflexology in ovulation induction’. Around 30 women, from a total of roughly 100, apparently became pregnant. Unfortunately, detailed results of this very small survey are hard to come by. Therefore anecdotal evidence is the best that we can do at present.
Although a small study, it is also supported by some hospitals and midwives:
Ultra Brows is a unique treatment for the ultimate well-groomed, high-definition eyebrows. The Ultra Brows eyebrow shaping procedure transforms how you look and, more importantly, how you feel.
Our Brows stylists assess your face shape and colouring before creating a bespoke brow tailored exclusively for you.
Using a combination of skills, from preparation and personal consultation to custom blending, designing, creating and tailoring the shape as well as customised aftercare, our brows stylists can transform a face.
The treatment consists of seven steps. This isn’t just shaping and tidying – Ultra Brows is eyebrow artistry.
The Ultra Brows 7 steps include:
Assess
Assess your face shape, colouring and natural brows to determine the best result for you.
Some clients can achieve the perfect Brow shape on the first visit, whilst others may need a few treatments and be advised to grow in more eyebrow hairs to get the best results. Ultra Brows can be thick or thin, dark or light, angular or soft – as we all different and we all have different ideas about how we want to look.
The aim is to give you the perfect bespoke shape and colour just for YOU.
Tinting
We tint all brow hairs, including some of the ‘fluffy’ ones around the brows, so that we have the maximum amount of hair to work with to get the best shape for you.
A high-quality tint rich in pigment gives longer-lasting results than traditional tints. We mix the tint according to your present colouring and desired result.
Waxing
We wax both above and below the brows to give a shape tailored to suit you best.
Threading
We use threading to remove the spare hair we don’t want around the brow area. Threading is also great for blending away telltale wax lines and ensuring smooth makeup application.
Tweezing
Tweezing is used to perfect your shape.
Trimming
We then trim any long hairs so that all brow hairs lie perfectly in their newly defined shape.
Design
Eyebrow makeup will be applied to create the perfect look you want to achieve.
We can also guide you how to create this look at home.
What is the difference between Ultra Brows and HD Brows?
HD Brows uses HD-branded products that are slightly different from those we use for Ultra Brows. Therefore, you would need a patch test before your treatment if you have had HD Brows treatment elsewhere. Otherwise, the results are similar, and you still achieve well-groomed high definition eyebrows.
Before and after treatment advice
To get the best results from your Brow treatment, it’s best to let your brows grow in for around four weeks before your first treatment.
Before your Brows treatment, you will need a patch test 24 to 48hrs before your treatment. It takes only a minute. Please call into Cheshire Lasers for a patch test. You will be asked to complete a consent form, and one of our team will perform the test for you.
To maintain your gorgeous new brows, you’ll need to repeat the Brows treatment every 3-6 weeks once your hairs have regrown and your colour has faded.
IMPORTANT:
Please don’t exfoliate the skin or use products containing AHAs or fruit acids around your eyebrows for at least a week before and after treatment, so you don’t thin the skin or make it more sensitive to waxing.
If you have taken Roaccutane or any other skin-thinning medication in the past, you must wait at least six months before having waxing on the eyebrows.
Who Performs Ultra Brows Treatments at Cheshire Lasers?
The CACI Eye Revive treatment is performed by our Cheshire Lasers aestheticians in Middlewich.
The new CACI Eye Revive treatment is a must-have for anyone concerned with ageing around the delicate eye area.
This gentle treatment:
Soothes tired, puffy eyes
Combats dark circles
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
Lifts hooded eyes
What is a CACI Eye Revive treatment?
The CACI Eye Revive treatment involves three steps.
Step 1:
This involves micro-current to gently tighten and tone sagging muscles around the eye area whilst reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Step 2:
The treatment then uses serum-filled CACI micro-current eye rollers to infuse the CACI Eye Revive serum deep into the skin. The roller ball is used to perform a drainage massage. The drainage massage helps to eliminate toxins around the eye area these actions help reduce puffiness and dark circles.
The Eye Revive serum contains REGU®-AGE and other clinically effective ingredients which, have been shown to reduce puffiness by up to 31% and dark circles up to 35%.
Step 3:
The deeply nourishing Hydro Eye Mask is then applied to soothe and calm the skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles further.
The Hydro Eye Mask feels and smells divine. The cooling sensation around the eyes is relaxing and leaves the eyes looking brighter and more hydrated. The mask contains hyaluronic acid, collagen, green tea and cucumber to help plump out fine lines and wrinkles.
While the mask is in place we work over it with the CACI Hydratone rollers. These gently massage the eye area and deliver micro-current through the mask, helping the ingredients absorb while continuing to restore firmness and muscle tone around the eyes.
Am I suitable for a CACI Eye Revive treatment?
The CACI Eye Revive treatment is suitable for all skin types and delivers impressive results to keep you looking fresh and revived.
How many Eye Revive treatments will I need?
Cheshire Lasers recommends a course of ten CACI Eye Revive treatments for optimum results. We also advise you to book the sessions close together; however, a one-off session is also beneficial and the perfect ‘pick me up’. It instantly wakes tired eyes and makes you feel vibrant and confident.
If you have a wedding or a special occasion coming up, a one-off will give a quick lift around the eye area. The perfect confidence boost!
It takes around 35 minutes per session. So you could have one in your lunch break and go back to work all revived!
At Cheshire Lasers, we often combine the CACI Eye Revive with other CACI treatments. The most popular combination is the CACI Jowl Lift with the Eye Revive.
Your first CACI Eye Revive — £42, an introductory offer
Subsequent treatments — £47
Added to another CACI treatment — £42, booked as part of that appointment
Book your CACI Eye Revive
Your first CACI Eye Revive is £42 as a trial price. The appointment allows extra time for a brief consultation about the treatment beforehand, so you do not need a separate consultation first.
The science behind how Ultraformer Treatments work
Ultraformer III is a revolutionary skin-lifting treatment. It uses the gentle, safe, time-tested energy of ultrasound at a micro-focused level to create a powerful energy. This energy stimulates the deep structural support layers of the skin, including those areas focused on during surgical treatments. However, Ultraformer III does not cut or disturb the surface of the skin and has none of the risks associated with surgery.
This advanced technology can create a lift not only in the skin but also the deep muscle layer underneath, which was previously only reached by a surgical facelift.
The Ultraformer III also stimulates the growth of new collagen over time, to gradually strengthen and tone your skin from deep within.
The Ultraformer HIFU cartridge has a narrow focus delivering precision treatments. Uniform ultrasound energy is directed into target layers of skin without heat diffusion to surrounding tissue, yielding less pain, minimal side effects, and more effective results.
Generating approximately 65.4°C into target layers induces natural coagulation and wound-healing processes to stimulate collagen renewal underneath the epidermis.
How is the Ultraformer different from Radiofrequency (RF)?
Radio Frequency (e.g. Endymed, Thermaclinic) addresses issues in the superficial layers of the skin (e.g. fine lines, wrinkles, skin tone and texture). The Ultraformer can treat this area, but it can also address the deeper skin layers and the foundational muscle layer known as the SMAS that lifts and supports the skin. This is the layer a plastic surgeon targets during cosmetic surgery.
Radio Frequency heats the skin to around 41°C, whereas HIFU heats the skin to 65.4°C. Therefore the Ultraformer treatment is more intense and a bit more painful.
These are the prices for skin rejuvenation treatments carried out by the Skin aestheticians at Cheshire Lasers. Our doctors set their own prices, which are listed on their individual pages.
Not sure which treatment to book?
Book a Skin Rejuvenation Consultation for £25. Our Skin aestheticians will talk through your concerns and explain which treatments would suit you, with the pros and cons of each.
Doing nothing is always one of the options, and we will say so if we think it is the right one.
If you go ahead, the £25 is deducted from your first treatment.
