A great evening
On Wednesday, we had a special evening with Trina and her friends. They had the Spa to themselves and had a great time receiving manicures, pedicures and other treatments.
Unsightly Red Veins?
Removing Red Veins
Red or broken veins are a common problem that can be easily rectified by simple diathermy.
Diathermy is a type of thermolysis used to cauterise the capillaries and small veins that are engorged with blood; this dries up the blood that is engorging the vein. Instant results are achieved and although it is an invasive treatment it is a tried and tested method of thread vein removal.
In many cases only one or two treatments are necessary to achieve permanent removal. Also, this method of treatment can be used to remove skin tags, warts and moles.
Our therapists are fully qualified in this advanced treatment.
We carry out these treatments in sessions of five or ten minutes; this allows the removal of multiple red veins or skin tags. The procedures cause minimum discomfort.

Top Skin Care Tips
Skin Care by Debbie Locke Health and Beauty Spa
Dry areas on thighs, elbows and arms are a common problem. The best way to treat this is with a gentle scrub or loofah, then apply body lotions after each shower or bath.
***************
When showering or bathing, use luke warm water rather than hot water; hot water has a drying effect and will rob the skin of its natural moisture, causing broken capillaries and dry, flaking skin.
***************
If you suffer from dry and cracked skin on the heels of your feet, then try putting a petroleum jelly, e.g. Vaseline, on the affected areas just before bedtime. Protect the coating (and your sheets!) using socks and when you get up in the morning your feet will be nice, soft and supple.
***************
Feet can be rather neglected and for some people, present a real problem. Did you know that wearing talcum powder in your shoes will help to prevent excess sweating? This is important since people with sweaty feet can become.....people with smelly feet! Pass the cheese! Seriously though, look after your feet. after having a bath or shower, use a pumice stone 2 -3 times a week on the hard areas. You will be amazed at the reduction in hard skin.
***************
It is a good idea to exfoliate your skin, (i.e. remove the top dead layer of skin cells), every couple of days aftering waxing. This will help to prevent 'ingrowing' hairs. You can exfoliate your skin by using an exfoliating cleanser; choose one with a grainy texture, containing ingredients like oatmeal, ground almonds or even sea salt. For a very mild exfoliation, use a hand cloth.
If in doubt, consult the experts! We would love to see you , so give us a ring on 01934 877700

Colonic Hydrotherapy - promotes detoxification of your body
Colonic Hydrotherapy at Debbie Locke Health and Beauty Spa
Colonic hydrotherapy or irrigation is a gentle internal bath using warm, purified water that can help to eliminate stored faecal matter, gas, mucus and toxic substances from the colon. The colon, or large intestine, is the end portion of the human digestive tract (food carrying passageway extending from the mouth to the anus).
Why do people have colonic irrigation?
Well, waste material, especially that which has remained in the colon for some time, (i.e. impacted faeces, dead cellular tissue, accumulated mucous, parasites, etc.), poses several problems. First this material is quite toxic (poisonous). These poisons can re-enter and circulate in the blood stream making us feel ill, tired or weak. Second, impacted materials impair the colon's ability to assimilate minerals and bacteria- produced vitamins. And finally, a build-up of material on the colon wall can inhibit muscular action causing sluggish bowel movements, constipation, and the result of these disorders. Other symptoms include: headaches, backaches, constipation, fatigue, bad breath, body odour, irritability, confusion, skin problems, abdominal gas, bloating, diarrhoea, sciatic pain, and so forth.
Toxins in the colon is common. Toxic material is found throughout the body, particularly in fat tissue, joints, arteries, muscles, liver, etc. Colonics effectively eliminate large quantities of toxic waste, affecting the condition of the entire body.
What does colonic hydrotherapy do?
After treatment you'll probably feel lighter and enjoy a sense of well-being. Not infrequently, someone having their first colonic will remark that it was one of the most wonderful experiences of their life. As soon as the colonic is finished you can carry on with daily routine.
The treatment will:
1. Cleanse the Colon
2. It Exercises the Colon Muscles
3. It Reshapes the Colon
4. It Stimulates Reflex Points
Is colonic irrigation painful?
It rarely is. Usually, painful experiences are the result of resistance and tension. A professional colon therapist is skilled at putting you at your ease and minimizing discomfort. Most people actually enjoy the colonic and are especially pleased with the unaccustomed sensation of feeling lighter, clean and clear afterward.
Will colonic hydrotherapy be embarrassing ?
No, you will fully maintain your personal dignity. You will be in a private room with only your therapist, who fully appreciates the sensitivity of the colonic procedure and will help you feel at ease. After the gentle insertion of a small tube into the rectum, you are completely covered. Rubber tubing carries clean water in and waste out in a gravity pressured system. The mess and odour sometimes present during an enema simply does not exist with a colonic.
Being an essentially natural process, there is virtually no danger with a colonic. Cleaning and sterilization of the necessary equipment is done as normal procedure and clean linen is used for each colonic as well.
Rest assured.
You may visit a Registered Colon Hydrotherapist with confidence. To be on the Register a therapist must either have been trained and experienced in orthodox medicine (e.g. doctor, dentist or nurse) or have satisfactory training in anatomy and physiology and considerable training and experience in a body-based complementary therapy other than colonic therapy. Our Colon Hydrotherapist is a Registered Therapist with ARCH (Association and Register of Colonic Hydrotherapists). ARCH has been the lead body for colonic hydrotherapy since its inception and represents the largest number of Colon Hydrotherapists in the UK, maintaining a register of therapists who are in full and probationary membership within the Association and who must have qualified at a recognised training course.
Your visit to a colonic therapist will involve the taking of your case history followed by an explanation of the procedure. The colonic itself will take 30-45 minutes during which time water will be gently introduced into the colon via the rectum whilst your therapist uses special massage techniques to gently cleanse and flush the colon.
Your modesty is preserved at all times.
Our Registered Colon Hydrotherapist is under great demand; therefore 50% deposit is required in order to confirm your booking (payable on booking the appointment).

Skin Tags
A lot of people suffer from skin tags. Skin tags are small flesh-coloured or brown
growths that hang off the skin and look a bit like warts. They are very common and
are often unsightly and cause the sufferer some embarrassment.
 |
| Skin Tags |
They are usually found on the neck, in the armpits, around
the groin, or under the breasts. They can also grow on the eyelids or under the
folds of the buttocks.
Why skin tags occur
It is thought skin tags grow where skin rubs against skin or
clothing. This would explain why they tend to affect overweight people who have
excess folds of skin and skin chafing.
Removing skin tags
It is very unusual to be able to have a skin tag removed on
the NHS and people usually need to pay privately. Do not attempt to remove large skin tags
yourself because they will bleed heavily.
We can remove skin tags using diathermy; the stalk of a skin tag is cauterised to
prevent nerve and blood supply to the body of the tag. The result of this
procedure is a tiny black cauterisation mark that heals leaving no scar.
The treatment is fast and virtually painless. We carry out these treatments in sessions of
five or ten minutes; this allows the removal of multiple red veins or skin
tags. The procedures cause minimum discomfort.

free consultation.
