“Thank goodness Kay is back open. I have a variety of treatments with Kay and all are excellent.
Kay is so professional and she is so knowledgeable and helpful as she is always studying new relevant subjects and techniques. I cannot recommend Positive skin highly enough, one visit and I can guarantee you will go back.
I would like to say about one of my treatments electrolysis, I sailed through lockdown without growing hair where us ladies don't want it and this was because the sessions I have been having over the last year has permanently reduced it by 75% so thanks to Kay Positive Skin.”
“Kay is lovely, friendly and very professional. The clinic rooms are immaculately clean and well presented, and there is a sense of calm on entering. I feel in very safe hands for the treatment I receive.”
“I have been going to see Kay for quite some time now and I would highly recommend. Her knowledge and expertise always makes me feel so comfortable, something I have not felt when receiving treatments elsewhere. She is so understanding and is always willing to help, I couldn’t be happier with the treatments I am receiving.”
“I would highly recommend Kay to anyone considering electrolysis. She is super friendly and instantly makes you feel at ease. Her salon is immaculate and she takes Covid precautions very seriously.”
“I had a 10 minute electrolysis treatment with Kay.
The personal protection against covid 19 was exceptional. I am Always very pleased with the treatment that I have and Kay is always so welcoming and polite. Any questions I have are answered with really understandable answers.”
“There is very little to say about Kay other than sheer perfection - I am always completely relaxed and often nearly drifting off - kay is 100% professional and I would recommend her to anyone needing a beauty therapist xx”
We offer a tiered system to suit the body areas you wish to have hair removal carried out. The tiers run from 1 through 7 and covers all areas of the body. A full course of 8 treatments is needed to see the full benefit.
Many of our clients choose to spread the cost over 12 months by joining our IPL payment plans, which allows easy payment of the treatments through a regular monthly payment.
Treatment sensation varies depending on your pain threshold, but is often described as “a flick of an elastic band” and is perfectly acceptable by most people. A cooling gel is applied prior to the area being treated, which helps reduce the sensation of heat.
The hair can be kept however you want in between treatments so long as only shaving is used and can be close shaved before the treatment session.
The hair must not leave the hair follicle unless with IPL. In between treatments cutting or shaving is recommended. You must not wax or tweeze, this can hinder the treatments and it can take longer for the hair to go.
No-one can ever give you a 100% guarantee that no hair regrowth will occur following IPL. We would advise caution before using any clinic that claims otherwise. However we stand behind our experience of permanently reducing the hairs we treat.
The hair follicles are damaged by heat but the hairs remain in the follicles. The dead hairs shed after 1 – 3 weeks as the epidermis renews. During this period the hairs will seem to ‘grow’ as they are pushed out by the new epidermis.
The skin may be red immediately after treatment and the hair follicles may be swollen and bumpy but this usually subsides within a few hours.
Adverse reactions are rare but may include a small blister or temporary lightening or darkening of the skin.
Treatments can take as little as 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.
