Geraldine Walters Advanced Skin Care

Geraldine Walters

Advanced Skin Care Therapist

With a wealth of experience and training in all aspects of the beauty industry, it’s the science that interests me the most. My two specialist areas are electrolysis and skincare.

Trained at the London College of Fashion (now part of The University of the Arts). LCF is renowned for London Fashion Week. When I trained it had a centre for beauty and hairdressing that went with the catwalk fashion.

Our training was rigorous; it even included cosmetic chemistry and product formulation. But I loved the science behind the products and it was that area I pursued rather than beauty.

After a few years spent working in salons in London – including the Selfridges Spa – I got my teaching qualification from Greenwich University.

I suppose I went full circle when I got a lecturing post back at LCF, teaching on the Foundation Degree for Beauty Therapy and Health Studies – working with the same team who had taught me. Analysis and questioning mean you never take anything you’re told for granted!

Electrolysis:

This is the permanent removal of hair and is a treatment for both women and men. This method of hair removal is not influenced by colour of hair nor limited by body area. I work in sessions of 15 minutes up to two hours.

I trained 25 years ago, so I have many years of experience and work with an Apilus machine which is modern, fast, efficient, and virtually painless due to its digital settings. If you have had electrolysis before, you will find this machine provides a quick, comfortable treatment.

All electrolysis clients require a Consultation session regardless as to whether they have received this treatment elsewhere previously. There will be medical conditions that prohibit electrolysis or restrict it, and these will be covered at the Consultation.

Blemish Removal:

I can remove common blemishes such as skin tags, warts, milia, verrucas and facial thread veins using either diathermy (heat) or cryotherapy (freezing).

A Consultation is required and referral to your GP might be needed in some circumstances.
