Verity - sharing the truth about PCOS

About Cristianos Laser Clinic

http://www.cristianos.co.uk

Cristianos Laser Clinic was one of the first clinics to specialise in laser treatment and has been at the forefront of providing ethical treatment. Established in 1997 by Chris Hart, the company now has four outlets, Altrincham, London, Leeds and Bury.

Chris recalls her motivation for setting up the business “Having had a burning desire to cure the world of facial hair and having worked as an electrologist, I considered the technology of laser offered clients the prospect of much safer, speedier and more comfortable solution. The amount and nature of PCOS facial hair is perfect for laser treatment. Providing a non judgmental and welcoming atmosphere came as second nature to me. I recall saying we would be around for the long haul and clients could be assured we were committed to providing effective treatment. I am so pleased to have been proved right!”

Cristianos is one of the few clinics where every clinician will readily discuss the crucial issues, such as clinical results. Indeed, Cristianos has been singled out for compliment by the Healthcare Commission for the high standard of quality assurance and information provision provided. Over the ten years since its conception, thousands of clients have enjoyed the benefit of treatment and we have used that experience to formulate best practice guidelines, which are used consistently at Cristianos Clinics.

Chris and the Cristianos staff believe that different client groups have different needs in respect of treatment, for example the treatment regime would differ for a post-menopausal genetic female and PCOS sufferer with thick dark coarse hair. One-size-fits-all doesn’t really work as so many factors affect the success of treatment; therefore it is important to have experience of the issues affecting the individual client.

Cristianos has used the Chromos 694 Ruby Laser since 1997; this laser was developed in the medical field to help plastic surgeons where donor tissue for reconstructive surgery was hirsute. This equipment is only suitable for white skin and dark hair. In 2006 Cristianos introduced the Energist Ultra VPL, which is a variable-pulsed-light system which is suitable for the treatment of darker skin tones. This system also has the ability to target finer hair and makes the treatment of larger areas such as chests, backs and legs much more cost-effective. Using both systems gives us greater flexibility and  makes it possible to provide a wider range of services including skin rejuvenation, thread veins, age spots, rosacea, acne and acne-scarring.
