I've been getting electrolysis done at Elmes Skincare Clinic for the last few months. I was a bit nervous at first at the thought of the procedure, but the therapist who is nice, courteous and friendly put me at ease in a relaxed atmosphere with no distractions to help me settle. It's professionally done where your needs are priority, not pricey at all and value for money! Location is central and opening hours are flexible so you can drop in after work for an appointment. I require a large area to be hair free from electrolysis and I have had good results so far!

Investigation of Acute Effects of Quchi (LI11) in Patients with Hypertension Using Heart Rate Variability
Investigation of Acute Effects of Quchi (LI11) in Patients with Hypertension Using Heart Rate Variability
Litscher G1, et al.
Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease worldwide. Over 70% of the patients use antihypertensive drugs, so nonpharmacological treatments in addition to the medication are important.
Our goal was to investigate acupuncture treatment on the Quchi acupoint using heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) and to find out whether there is a laterality in acute effects.
Sixty hypertensive patients (36 female, 24 male; mean age ± SD 55.8 ± 9.7 years) were randomly assigned to two manual needle acupuncture groups (group A: left Quchi (LI11) acupoint, group B: right Quchi acupoint).
There was a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in HR immediately after inserting and stimulating the needle at the left and the right Quchi acupuncture point. In contrast, total HRV increased immediately after inserting the needle, but this increase was significant only towards the end of the stimulation phase and after removing the needle.
There were some differences between stimulation of the left and right Quchi acupoint, but they remained insignificant.
This study provides evidence that there is a beneficial effect on heart rate variability in patients with hypertension and that there are some effects of laterality of the acupoint Quchi.

Great Review of Elmes Acupuncture on Yelp
"I visited Ursula for a course of around 6 weekly acupuncture treatments in advance of undergoing IVF. The location of the clinic is central and convenient. Ursula was the ultimate professional and the treatment rooms in the spa make for a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I'm delighted to report I am now pregnant and have no doubt the acupuncture played its part. Thank you Ursula!"
