If you are not sure what you need, the consultation will clarify your all the questions you might have. Clients will need a full consultation if they are new to the clinic or have not had any facials or treatments in the clinic during the past 12 months. The initial consultation is conducted by Ruth, founder of Chemist & Co, pharmacist and health coach. This is a crucial stage of your treatment plan, as it centres around you, the client. We will look at your medical/medication history and discuss skincare and your home care routines. Every case is unique, and based on what’s most important for you, we can then work out a plan using one or more of our technologies, together with skincare recommendations and other medically evidenced advice. Any facials or treatments using Fractional Laser and IPL will need a consultation and a patch test one week before any facial or treatment. LED Phototherapy and Radio Frequency do not require a patch test so the consultation can take place before the first booked facial or treatment.

There are a few situations where IPL, Laser and LED Phototherapy are contraindicated for treatment. This can be determined during the initial free consultation. In the unlikely event that one is not suitable, we’ll discuss what other technologies and treatments we can help you with.

Yes! Booking a facial is a perfect way of trialling our technologies and pampering your skin at the same time!

IPL treatment can be mildly uncomfortably, and the sensation is often likened to snapping the skin with an elastic band. Therefore, we cool the skin to make it more comfortable. We will advise about this during our consultation and patch test. No anaesthetic is needed.

You might experience mild swelling with a ‘sunburnt’ sensation in the treatment area. Any pigmentation might look darker during the recovery period. Every IPL session includes LED Phototherapy to speed up recovery time.

Up to 24 - 48h with slight bruising/crusting depending on the treatment intensity.

The total number of treatments will vary depending upon the indication. For example, a single treatment may be all that is required for a small lesion, such as a spider naevus or small thread vein. In contrast, conditions such as Port Wine Stains and Rosacea may require up to six sessions (with maintenance treatments every six to twelve months for Rosacea clients). We can advise during the initial consultation. Maintenance for chronic conditions and anti-ageing: it is recommended that clients continue with a treatment every two to six months once the initial course has finished.

Four weeks for initial treatments. Results can last for several months after IPL treatments. However, as with any skincare treatment, maintenance sessions are recommended every three months (varies) to ensure long-lasting results.

Facial Sessions: around 15 days. Treatments: discussed during consultation.

Yes! We add LED Phototherapy to every IPL treatment. IPL works brilliantly with RF and Fractional Laser in our Anti-Aging Treatment Regimes. (Link to Page)
