Don’t Forget Your Aftercare! It’s Half the Treatment. 👇

You’ve just had your skin professionally treated, now it’s your turn to protect and support the healing process. Aftercare isn’t just a formality, it’s essential for optimal results, faster recovery, and reduced risk of irritation or scarring.

Here’s why it matters:
When we treat the skin, whether it’s through electrolysis, skin tag removal, or laser, we’re creating a controlled wound. That area now needs time, protection, and kindness to heal properly.

Key Aftercare Tips We Always Recommend:
🫧 Keep the area clean and dry for at least 24 hours
🫧 Avoid touching, scratching, or picking the area
🫧 Skip hot baths, saunas, and the gym for 48 hours
🫧 No active skincare products (like acids or retinols) on the area until fully healed
🫧 Apply soothing aftercare gel or SPF if instructed

Redness, slight scabbing, or tenderness is totally normal, but if anything feels off, we're always here to check in.

✨ The takeaway? Your skin deserves downtime just like you do. Follow your aftercare instructions and you’ll get the best results from your treatment, safely, smoothly, and confidently.

Got questions about healing? DM us or speak to your practitioner during your appointment 🫶

Let’s talk about safe, effective removal, no scalpels, no downtime.

Skin tags - hose soft, benign little growths that love to appear on the neck, underarms, chest, or eyelids. They are completely harmless but often annoying, especially when they catch on clothing or jewellery.

At Cypress Quay Clinic, we use Advanced Electrolysis to remove skin tags safely, precisely, and quickly.

So how does it work?

Using a tiny probe, we deliver a low electrical current directly into the base of the skin tag. This causes the blood supply to shut off, allowing the tag to shrink, dry up, and naturally fall away in the days that follow. Most removals are done in a single session, and the procedure typically takes minutes.

✅ Minimal discomfort
✅ No downtime
✅ Immediate visible improvement

Is it safe?
Yes! Advanced Electrolysis has been used for decades to treat a range of minor skin blemishes. It’s suitable for all skin tones and types, and our practitioners are trained to ensure treatment is carried out with the highest standards of care and hygiene.

What can we treat?
🪡 Skin tags
🪡 Milia
🪡 Cherry angiomas (blood spots)
🪡 Thread veins
🪡 & more!

Whether it’s for comfort, confidence, or simply convenience, skin tag removal doesn’t have to be clinical or complicated. We make it simple, safe, and tailored to you.

And if for any reason your skin tag comes back, or doesn't completely disappear, we'll give you a follow up appointment 6 weeks later completely free of charge!

🌿 Clear Skin Doesn’t Happen Overnight…and that’s okay.

We live in a world that promises quick fixes, 7-day transformations, and one-size-fits-all solutions. But real skin health doesn’t come in a bottle with a 24-hour guarantee.

Here’s what we wish more people knew:

✨ Skin is an organ, not an ornament.
It reacts to hormones, stress, sleep, gut health, environmental factors, and more, not just the cleanser or serum you’re using.

✨ Healing takes time, and sometimes it gets worse before it gets better.
If you're starting a new treatment plan or active ingredient, breakouts, dryness or purging can be part of the process. Consistency and support are key.

✨ What worked for someone else may not work for you.
Clear skin isn’t just about product choice, it’s about your skin type, history, lifestyle, and triggers. That’s why personalised care matters.

✨ Quick fixes often cause long-term setbacks.
Over-exfoliating, stripping the barrier, or bouncing between trends can cause inflammation, sensitivity, and breakouts that linger longer than the original problem.

✨ Progress is not always linear.
Skin will fluctuate, hormones shift, life happens, stress sneaks in. Clearer skin is possible, but it’s a journey, not a destination.

✨ The goal isn’t perfect. The goal is healthy.
Balanced, calm, resilient skin that feels comfortable, even if you still get the occasional breakout or bit of texture. That’s real skin. That’s real progress.

At Cypress Quay, we support you with personalised treatments, realistic expectations, and long-term results that actually last.

What Makes Our Clinic Trans-Inclusive?
Because safety, dignity, and personalised care should never be optional.

At Cypress Quay, we believe everyone deserves to feel comfortable, respected, and truly seen. For our transgender and non-binary clients, we’re proud to offer a space that is inclusive, private, and genuinely affirming.

Here’s what that means in practice:
🏳️‍⚧️ We use your chosen name and pronouns, always.
🏳️‍⚧️ Our staff are trained in inclusive care, lead by our Transgender Care Ambassador Abbie.
🏳️‍⚧️ We understand the role electrolysis and laser hair removal plays in gender-affirming journeys.
🏳️‍⚧️ Private treatment rooms ensure your comfort at every step.
🏳️‍⚧️ We don’t assume. We ask. And we listen.
🏳️‍⚧️ You’ll never be rushed, judged, or made to explain yourself.

For clients seeking permanent hair removal before gender-affirming surgery or simply for personal confidence, we know this process can feel vulnerable. Our job is to hold space, provide expert care, and walk with you.

If you're looking for a clinic that understands not just the treatment, but the journey, you're welcome here.

Skin feeling dull, congested, or just a bit “meh”? Before you rush to buy another serum, try this:

🫧 Wash Your Pillowcase More Often
Ideally every 2–3 days. Oil, bacteria, product residue and dead skin cells build up fast — and your face rests on it for 6–8 hours a night.

📱 Clean Your Phone & Glasses
Regularly wipe down what touches your face. These surfaces can transfer bacteria and oils, leading to congestion, especially along the jawline and cheeks.

👐 Hands Off Your Face
Touching your face spreads dirt and oil, and can interfere with your skin barrier. Make it a habit to keep your hands clear unless you’re cleansing or applying product.

🛁 Shorten Your Showers
Long, hot showers can strip the skin’s natural oils, leading to dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. Lukewarm water + a gentle cleanser = skin barrier win.

🌿 Stress Less
Stress hormones like cortisol can wreak havoc on the skin. Carve out time to relax, your skin will thank you.

💧 Use What You Have — Properly
Consistency beats novelty. Cleanse morning and night. Moisturise even if you’re oily. Don’t skip SPF. You’d be amazed what your current routine can do when used correctly and consistently.

🍽️ Stay Hydrated & Eat Mindfully
No, you don’t need to cut everything out, but drinking more water, prioritising sleep, and adding skin-friendly foods (like omega-3s and colourful veg) can support your skin from the inside out.

🧺 Could your laundry detergent be irritating your skin?
Breakouts, rashes, or that constant itchy feeling, even with a solid skincare routine, might be coming from something unexpected: your washing powder or liquid.

Many mainstream detergents leave behind fragrance, dyes, and enzymes that cling to fabrics and transfer to your skin. That residue can disrupt your skin barrier, trigger flare-ups, or worsen conditions like eczema, acne and sensitivity, especially on areas like the back, chest and jawline.

Here’s what you can do:
✔️ Switch to fragrance-free, non-bio detergent
✔️ Add an extra rinse cycle
✔️ Wash new clothes before wearing
✔️ Skip fabric softeners & dryer sheets

🧖‍♀️ Pro tip: Try using a clean pillowcase and face towel at least twice a week if you’re prone to breakouts or sensitivity. Small changes = big skin wins.

Remember: healthy skin isn’t just about what you put on it, but also what it comes into contact with.

If your skin isn’t settling, we’re here to help.

the results speak for themselves 🤩 wave goodbye to dermaplaning for good 👋🏼

raises the skin’s pH temporarily to soften and dissolve fine, vellus hair (also known as peach fuzz). It works differently from waxing or shaving — no pulling, no blades — and offers a smoother, longer-lasting result.

Why choose Alkaline Wash?
🫧 Removes fine, downy facial hair that laser can’t treat
🫧 Leaves skin silky smooth and brighter
🫧 Helps makeup glide on flawlessly
🫧 Gently exfoliates dead skin and brightens dull complexions
🫧 Great alternative to dermaplaning (especially for sensitive skin)
