    Amazing Aromatherapy

    The history of this ancient therapy and our modern treatments

    Aromatherapy has been practiced for thousands of years and it’s a holistic treatment that can be used for medical issues as well as simply relaxing and reinvigorating the body. There are many benefits to an aromatherapy massage and at Bodyworks Boutique Beauty Salon our aromatherapy treatments take you on a journey of relaxation and sensation.

    History of Aromatherapy

    The first recorded use of aromatherapy has been traced back to around 3,500 BC. It was used by the ancient Egyptians who burned incenses from aromatic woods, spices and herbs. It had a spiritual connection at this time and aromatics were closely linked with mysticism and religion. Of course modern day aromatherapy is more about the holistic benefits for your body but this was the base on which the modern treatments were founded.

    Spotlight on Electrolysis

    How Electrolysis works for Permanent Hair Removal

    At Bodyworks Boutique Beauty Salon we offer an innovative yet safe and proven permanent hair removal treatment. Electrolysis is the oldest and only proven form of permanent hair removal, it is becoming more popular again as it is suitable for people with all hair and skin colours unlike laser/IPL. It is carried out in our welcoming salon by our trained and registered therapists. What exactly is electrolysis though and how do you know whether it’s for you? Here we’re looking at it in more depth.

    How does Electrolysis Work?

    Electrolysis treats each of your hair follicles individually with an extremely fine, disposable needle. Each of the needles used are sterile and  permanently destroy the hair follicle’s ability to reproduce by thermolysis(heat) if the hair is in the growing stage. This means hair stops growing completely over a course of treatment as you eventually catch each hair in the correct stage of growth ie; anagen. Your expert therapist will explain this in more depth when you come for your consultation and first treatment.

    Unlike laser/IPL, electrolysis can be used to treat all skin and hair types and whilst laser/IPL is described as only hair reduction electrolysis provides permanent hair removal. A full course of electrolysis will be needed to ensure complete removal but you really can achieve completely smooth, hairless skin. We have many clients who have achieved these results!

    Which areas can electrolysis treat?

    The only areas which are definite no go are the inner nose and ear, and eyebrows are usually too delicate. Electrolysis is most effective for smaller areas such as the face, tummy or nipples. We wouldn’t recommend electrolysis for larger areas such as legs or bikini as it just isnt practical and would take hours at each session.

    Does it hurt?

    Many clients worry that any beauty procedure may hurt. It’s hard to say with anything as everybody is different but most people describe electrolysis as a gentle warming sensation or heat, which can be a little uncomfortable but not painful. This heat sensation of course varies across the body and our qualified therapists are happy to go at a pace you can handle to ensure the lowest levels of discomfort, we use a special cooling roller to cool the skin as we do the treatment.

    How many treatments do I need?

    The number of treatments you need is completely dependent your hair growth. It will also be dependent on any hormonal changes you might be going through or conditions such as polycystic ovaries. This will be explained to you during the consultation. We offer sessions from 5 to 30 minutes and you will need a number of these to complete the process. Once you’ve had your initial appointment and session we should be able to give you some idea of how long the treatment may take in the end. We also offer the great offer of a free sixth treatment when you pay for five.

    It often takes a number of weeks and sometimes up to a year to see a marked improvement but electrolysis does deliver results and as we treat an individual area the treatment becomes more effective so your sessions will be able to become shorter as the hairs become sparser and finer as we deliver results.

    Electrolysis at Bodyworks Boutique Beauty is cost effective and proven. Our highly qualified and welcoming therapists are just waiting for your call. 0115 917 8887.
