Why people choose Helena

Why people choose Helena Aesthetics

A real medical background

Before this was my clinic, I trained and worked as a paramedic, and I have spent over 20 years in skin and aesthetics. I am a fully qualified Advanced Electrolysis practitioner at VTCT Level 4. This is real clinical grounding, not a beauty add-on.

A precise, controlled method

For blemish removal I use advanced electrolysis. It works through a fine needle, as thin as a hair, placed on or near the blemish, with no cutting, and it leaves the healthy skin around it unharmed. That makes it a gentle choice for fine facial areas.

Genuinely local and easy to reach

I am a genuinely local Middlesbrough clinic at 283 Acklam Road, right on the main road by the traffic lights and easy to spot, with two hours of free parking outside. And because I work on my own, you see the same person, me, every single visit.

Natural results, no pressure

I would rather do less and keep you for life than overdo your face for one sale. I will always tell you honestly what will help, what will not, and what you can leave alone. Every treatment starts with an honest consultation, so we only ever do what is right for you.

What my clients say in Middlesbrough

Emily Williams

Cannot recommend enough!!! Always struggled with body image, from tiny little skin tags that progressively got bigger on my neck and eyelids, and I am so glad I trusted Helena to get rid of them for me, the confidence I feel now is unmatched! Family members will be getting theirs done now too! Pain is minimal, and controlled on your own terms which helped massively having the confidence to just ask for a quick break from treatment in the tender areas. Left with no scarring and photos to prove below. Fantastic customer service, and I’m about to book a 3rd appointment for my final skin tag removal! Gone forever, no scarring, more than fair prices. 10/10 ❤️ see photos, before, after treatment and once healed (1 week later) x

Diana

Absolutely love my results! My brows have a lovely subtle lift, my eyes look more open, and my forehead looks smooth while still feeling completely natural. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Helena - you are truly the Best!!!

As I’ve got older, I’ve noticed my lips gradually losing volume and definition, feeling thinner and paler than they used to. I never felt comfortable with the idea of Botox, fillers or any invasive cosmetic procedures – I wanted something gentler but still effective. That’s why permanent lip tattooing felt like the perfect choice: it would add natural-looking colour, restore shape and give me a fresher, more youthful look without the risks or downtime of surgery. After researching my options, I found Helen and immediately felt reassured by her years of expertise and glowing reputation. From our very first chat, she was incredibly professional, taking time to explain every step, talk through colours that would suit my skin tone, and answer all my questions patiently. Her communication was clear and friendly throughout, and I felt completely confident putting my trust in her. The results have exceeded my expectations – my lips look fuller, more vibrant, and perfectly natural. Helen’s skill and attention to detail are outstanding, and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone considering this treatment!

Jake Callaghan

I’ve had 3 sessions of PRP for hair regrowth and facial PRP (vampire facial) and can’t recommend her enough. Extremely knowledgable and friendly and very competitive prices for such high quality service.

Kevin Mack

I had a chain of skin tags around my neck that made me feel self-conscious. Helena removed them so carefully, and now I wear necklaces and open tops with confidence. She’s a miracle worker!

Todd Giles

I always thought eyeliner wouldn’t work on my hooded eyes, but Helena proved me wrong. She created a subtle, lifted wing that opens my eyes up beautifully. I haven’t worn eyeliner since because I don’t need to!

Deanna Thomas

I had a plasma facial today and it was absolutely amazing! The treatment was so professional, and I already feel like my skin is glowing. Helena explained everything clearly and made me feel totally at ease. I’m so excited to see the results as my skin heals, I already feel more confident. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about giving their skin a boost!

Mariya Boston

I had PRP plasma with Helena for years and always love my results. It takes time to see it and if you do regularly you will see the brightness , glowing and hydration in your skin. She takes your blood really gently and professionally. Also she suggests and explains about the treatment and how many should I do it. 3-5-8 treatments and you love to see your face in the mirror 🥰. Helena thank you for my glowing skin ! 🥰

Mary-Anne

I highly recommend Helena for aesthetic improvements. After a medical condition a few years ago left half of my face slightly droopy, I wanted to address the lingering effects. I was nervous about the process, but Helena immediately put me at ease. I trust her completely. Her skill and attention to detail have made a significant positive impact on my appearance, and I'm so grateful for her expertise.

Simple and reassuring

How it works

1

Your consultation

We start by talking it through. I check the treatment is suitable and answer your questions. Semi-permanent makeup needs a patch test 24 hours before. Blemish removal does not, and in most cases a skin tag can be treated at the same appointment.

2

Your treatment

Most blemish treatments take about 10 to 30 minutes. You may feel a mild warm or tingling sensation, but it is generally very well tolerated, and any discomfort is brief. There is no cutting.

3

Aftercare

Before you leave, I give you simple, personalised aftercare advice so your skin heals cleanly. Most people go straight back to their day, with minimal downtime.

4

Two-month follow-up

I ask every client back for a check-up two months after treatment, so I can make sure everything has healed well and we are both happy with the result.

Common questions

Questions about treatment in Middlesbrough

Does skin tag or blemish removal hurt?

Most people feel only a mild warm or tingling sensation. There is no cutting, so any discomfort is brief and easy to manage.

Is advanced electrolysis safe?

Advanced electrolysis is non-surgical. I use a sterile, hair-fine needle and a small amount of controlled heat, with no cutting. At your free consultation I check the treatment is right for your skin, explain any risks and give you aftercare advice. I am VTCT Level 4 qualified, with a paramedic background.

How is advanced electrolysis different from freezing treatments like CryoPen?

Freezing treatments work by freezing the blemish, which can affect the healthy skin around it and is harder to control on fine facial areas and darker skin tones. Advanced electrolysis uses pinpoint heat through a very fine probe, so it treats the blemish precisely and leaves the surrounding skin alone. I find it a gentler, more controlled choice for delicate areas.

Can you remove a mole?

Only after your GP has confirmed in writing that it is safe to do so. Your safety comes before anything else. If you are ever unsure about a mole or a changing blemish, please see your GP first.

Is there any downtime?

Very little. There is no cutting and no need to take time off. Most people go straight back to their day. Most blemishes heal in about 10 days, and larger ones can take up to two months to fully settle.

Do I need a consultation first?

Yes. A short consultation lets me check the treatment is suitable and explain exactly what to expect. Blemish removal does not need a patch test, and in most cases a skin tag can be removed at the same appointment. Semi-permanent makeup always needs a patch test 24 hours before.
