The under-eye area is often one of the first places to show signs of ageing. Fine lines become more noticeable, the skin loses some of its natural firmness, and dark circles or hollowing can leave you looking tired, even when you feel well-rested. With so many under-eye treatments in Manchester now available, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. Juvelook, polynucleotides, PRF Bio-Filler, Sunekos and skin boosters all work differently, and each one is suited to a

Not all hair loss is the same. Thinning at the crown, a widening parting, patches around the hairline after extensions and sudden shedding after a stressful few months all have different causes, and each needs a different approach. At Cheshire MediGlow, our doctor-led clinic in Altrincham sees clients from across Cheshire and Manchester with all kinds of hair concerns. In this guide, we explain the most common types of hair loss, who each treatment may suit, and why a proper

If you've been searching for PRF treatment in Manchester, you've probably noticed it's one of the most talked-about natural approaches in aesthetics right now.

Summer might be over, but your skin is probably still feeling the effects of it - sun exposure, travel, chlorine, late nights, and a skincare routine that likely took a back seat to holiday season. September is the perfect window to hit reset before autumn's colder air and central heating start pulling moisture out of your skin. Here's how to repair, rehydrate and prep your skin for the months ahead and the treatments that can help you get there faster. Why September Matters

Androgenetic alopecia, more commonly known as male or female pattern hair loss, is the most common cause of hair thinning we see at Cheshire MediGlow. It's gradual, it's genetic, and for a lot of people it can feel like there's not much to be done about it beyond accepting it or looking into surgery. PRP offers a middle ground worth understanding before you rule anything out. What Is Androgenetic Alopecia? Androgenetic alopecia is a hereditary condition where hair follicles b

If you have started researching hair loss, you will have run into three letters very quickly: DHT. It gets blamed for everything. Receding hairlines, thinning crowns, that widening parting you have started noticing under bathroom lighting. But most articles either bury it in jargon or skip straight to selling you something. So let us do this properly. Here is what DHT actually is, what it is doing to your follicles, and why understanding it changes how you approach hair loss.

If you have been anywhere near aesthetics content lately, you will have noticed a shift. The conversation has moved away from filling and plumping, and towards something rather more interesting: getting the skin to rebuild itself. That is the world of collagen biostimulators, and Julaine is one of the most talked about products in it. Here is everything you need to know: First, what actually is a collagen biostimulator? Most people are familiar with dermal filler. You inject

It's one of the most common questions we get asked at consultation: "how many sessions will I actually need?" The honest answer is that it depends on your skin, but there's a general pattern most clients follow - and knowing it upfront makes it much easier to plan (and budget) for. Why Skin Boosters Aren't a One-Session Fix Skin boosters work by delivering hyaluronic acid into the deeper layers of the skin to improve hydration, texture and elasticity over time. Unlike a treat

Dark circles. Hollow, crepey under-eyes. That permanently exhausted look no matter how well you slept. If you've tried every eye cream on the market and still aren't seeing results, you're not alone and you're not imagining it. The under-eye area is one of the most delicate and complex areas of the face to treat, and topical skincare can only go so far. That's where Rejuran Polynucleotides come in. At Cheshire MediGlow in Altrincham, we're proud to offer Rejuran as part of ou

Both PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are designed to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. They concentrate platelets, growth factors, and healing proteins to encourage tissue repair, collagen production, and regeneration. The key difference lies in how they’re prepared, and how they behave once injected. PRP is spun at a higher speed in a centrifuge, which separates the plasma quickly and produces a liquid rich in platelets. It often incl

The under-eye area is one of the first places to show signs of ageing, think dark circles, hollowness, fine lines, and that tired appearance that no amount of concealer quite fixes. Traditionally, dermal fillers have been used to restore lost volume in the tear trough. While effective in some cases, they don’t work for everyone and can sometimes lead to puffiness, migration, or an overfilled look. PRF under eye treatment offers a different approach, one that works with your b

For many years, aesthetic treatments were often associated with correcting visible signs of ageing once they had already developed. Today, however, there is a growing shift towards preventative aesthetics, a more proactive approach that focuses on maintaining skin health, supporting natural regeneration, and slowing the ageing process. Increasingly, patients are looking for treatments that work with the body’s own biology, rather than simply masking concerns with synthetic pr
