She is both friendly and professional as well as extremely knowledgeable. I had the treatments two years ago and am still hair - free! Just occasionally having a top up.

IPL treatment to help reduce rosacea and thread veins - this is tricky to review! You look at your face in the mirror frequently throughout the day but don't necessarily notice when it looks different. Having said that, I looked in the mirror over Christmas and I suddenly realised that I didn't like the redness and visible thread viens. I was also fed up with people asking me why my face was so red!!! I did a bit of research and decided it was probably the IPL treatment that I needed. I was anxious at my first appointment in January. Kim put me at ease and we discussed the recommended course of treatment. I just had my 4th and last treatment until the autumn, and I'm so pleased with how it's gone (too soon to see the results from this treatment at the moment). I also realised that nobody had mentioned my red face for ages and a friend said she thought I looked younger yesterday! The treatment itself (along with the ice packs to the face) is a little uncomfortable but it's well worth it for these results 👍
