The Skin Boutique

Catherine was the first person, other than my family, who I told my biggest secret to. My biggest secret being that I have excess facial hair. Thanks to Catherine and her suggestion of causation being PCOS, I was able to pursue this with my GP, resulting in a recent diagnosis.Prior to meeting Catherine, I’d spent years picking, plucking, waxing, shaving and threading my face in an attempt to make myself feel clean and confident around others. I didn’t go a day without sitting down with a 20x magnification mirror, a pair of tweezers and my obsessive ritual of picking, even to do the most simplest of things such as grabbing a pint of milk from the corner shop.I was self conscious around others, often using my hand to cover my face. I felt embarrassed, low in confidence and sometimes became that infatuated with a single hair that I would draw blood and create scars all in pursuit of a smooth chin and upper lip.Electrolysis and more importantly, Catherine, have changed my life. I no longer pick my face because Catherine is that thorough she gets them for me. Electrolysis has permanently removed the majority of hairs and I attend every few weeks just to keep on top of the now very fine and unnoticeable hairs. I can go about my day-to-day activities with my chin held high, an acceptance that I have the hair because of a condition and the comfort knowing that at my next appointment Catherine will rid me of even more.My only regret is not having found Catherine sooner. With this in mind, if you are reading this looking for advice on electrolysis provided by Catherine, I compel you to go for it and promise you won’t ever look back.Catherine, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for making me, feel me again.

From my late teens I suffered with excess facial hair which affected me negatively, I was very self conscious and felt depressed about how I looked. After spending 10+ years waxing/plucking/using hair removal cream (which just made it worse and was a very time consuming daily battle to remove the facial hair), I decided to invest in electrolysis.Since having electrolysis it has massively improved my lifestyle and how I feel. It genuinely has permanently removed the hairs. It is an investment as it can't be done in a day, but it is worth the time and commitment. I have been seeing Catherine for electrolysis for a couple of years now, it started with me going once every week, then every two weeks, and so on, until I got to the stage where I only needed to go every couple of month to keep on top of it.I highly recommend Catherine for any skincare/facial and body hair issues, she is very thorough, knowledgeable, professional and makes you feel comfortable.

So pleased with results of treatment for tiny skin tags & facial hair :)Thanks so much Catherine :)
