Laser hair removal
Using the latest technology in laser hair removal, we use the Soprano laser which offers pain free hair removal. Not only is laser hair removal the best alternative to shaving, plucking, depilatory creams and waxing, it is also pain free! We are the first clinic in Shropshire to offer pain free laser hair removal.

Our aesthetic & laser Nurse practitioners are registered nurses with many years of experience in nursing and in management posts as well as having achieved the highest recognised qualification in the UK for light based therapies.

Laser tattoo removal
Tattoo removal methods have existed just as long as the process itself. However, the scarring and pain associated with these procedures (such as salabrasion, invasive insicions and skin grafting) is often more offensive than the tattoo itself. Q-Switched Nd:Yag lasers offer significant advantages over previous methods of tattoo removal, and are presently the treatment of choice for tattoo removal. Q Switched lasers now provide a safe and effective method of removing all types of tattoos. Eliminating tattoos, this laser treatment leaves natural looking skin. Call 01743 343433 for your thorough consultation and patch test with our laser & aesthetic nurse and therapists.

Smoothing of Lines and Wrinkles
Smoothing out Lines and wrinkles, mainly on the forehead, between the eyes (frown lines) at the top of the nose and around the eyes (crow’s feet.) It is non permanent and has no long- term side effects.

Dermal fillers
As we age, our skin gradually loses its natural elasticity which can lead to the areas, particularly around the lips and nose, to appear more folded and wrinkled. Treatments for these areas can be provided underneath the surface of the skin to help provide support for the skin, so smoothing out the wrinkles and folds to create a naturally fresh and youthful appearance.

Lip enhancement or augmentation
The lips can be rejuvenated to give them a fuller appearance. We are also able to perform lip enhancement for people who wish their lips to be fuller and plumper.

Skin Rejuvination - IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
IPL is a safe and highly effective method of reducing the appearance of sun damage, broken blood vessels, age spots, liver spots, rosacea to the face, hands, neck, chest and arms. These unsightly blemishes cause uneven skin tone which ages the skin visually. By reducing their appearance, the skin tone looks more even and youthful. A skin consultation prior to treatment will allow full explanation of the treatment and its benefits.

Skin rejuvenation - skin peels
Particularly effective for:

• Skin rejuvenation
• Superficial lines and wrinkles
• Increased pigmentation e.g. post pregnancy
• Acne and post acne scarring
• Sun damaged skin and freckles

Skin peels have been used to improve skin texture since ancient times. Egyptian women bathed in sour milk, which is a form of chemical peel, to smooth the skin. At The Skin Clinic we use Agera skin peels – specialist products. The revolutionary peels are non-irritating, pain free and which means no down time from skin shedding, redness or irritation to deliver many anti-ageing benefits without any unsightly skin shedding or redness. After only one session the skin will look clearer, smoother and brighter. For maximum results a course of Agera skin peels can be combined with medical microdermabrasion.

Skin rejuvenation – medical microdermabrasion
Restores smoother younger looking skin and effective on:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damaged skin
• Acne prone skin
• Blackheads
• Whiteheads
• Superficial age spots and hyperpigmentation
• Oily, dry or patchy skin

Medical microdermabrasion is a non surgical method of rejuvenation. We offer a modern painless alternative to traditional chemical peels and laser peels with microdermabrasion and Agera skin peels. It is a versatile procedure that can be combined with other treatments to help achieve the desire results. This is also an ideal preparation for laser hair removal.

Facial veins
Collections of small blood vessels, particularly on the face are known as telangiectasia or spider veins. They usually have vessels radiating out from a central point like a spider’s legs (hence the name). Effective treatment is undertaken by Dr Simon Reid using Veninwave ™. The treatment may need more than one session and through consultation Dr Reid will gives his professional recommendation on the treatment you will need. The treatment itself involves a tiny needle injecting and heating up the area – most patients find it slightly uncomfortable but bearable.

Mole removal, skin tag and wart removal
Moles, cysts and skin tags are extremely common on the face and other parts of the body. Using the latest minor surgical techniques mole removal is a relatively painless and simple procedure that takes about 20 minutes. Stitches are not usually needed and any scarring is minimal. You can resume normal activities immediately afterwards.

Excessive sweating
Axillary hyperhidrosis is a condition meaning excess underarm perspiration. It is now possible to treat to treat this condition by injecting small amounts of Botox® into the skin of the armpits, thereby reducing the perspiration there. After treatment, improvement in the reduced sweating builds up over a period of around 2 weeks. Different people have different responses to treatment, but usually the effect of the Botox® will last anything from 4 to 10 months. Subsequent treatments tend to work more effectively and last longer. After the treatment there are no restrictions on driving or returning to work etc.

Skin care & mineral make up products
We are able to advise on and supply a variety of skin care and mineral make up products. Most of these cannot normally be purchased "over the counter" and can only be given by a medical clinic. Our range include treatments to help with premature ageing of the skin , fine lines, pigmented lesions and sun damaged skin as well as cleansers, moisturisers and sun blocks. These products are also often used in conjunction with skin peels.

Visia Complexion Analysis
Prior to the start of any skincare regime it is helpful to document and analyse your skin type, as well as the degree and any types of problems that you may have, in a quantifiable way. Using the sophisticated Visia Complexion Analysis System, standard and true Ultraviolet photographs are taken of your face (or other areas of concern e.g. hands) Using computer software your doctor will can then compare your skin to age and gender-matched control groups.

You will be given an easy to understand printout that demonstrates several aspects of your skin´s health, including pore size, texture, pigment (sun damage) and wrinkles.

This system not only helps your doctor to recommend the best care for you it also lets you assess how well your recommended treatments are working for you with further analysis. It is a valuable educational and motivational tool as well as a diagnostic tool. The good news is that if we do discover any problems we have the solutions to offer you by a qualified and experienced team of medical professionals and facial aesthetic practitioners.
