-They do not accept NHS funding, although for £99 we highly recommend self-funding.
-They are based in the middle of bold street.

+==== Skin Destination ====
+Skin Destination used to be an amazing little clinic in bold street (not to be confused with skin) unfortunately though they went out of business in December 2022, at the present time some ppl have yet to manage to get their money back.
+==== Sk:n ====
 Skin is one of the more well known laser hair removal clinics, but generally it name is the best part. There are generally no special offers, and it offers average results. Therapists also come and go quite often as its a big brand name and the staff turnover is quite high, so you may have a different technician for each session.
 They are based on bold street.
 They do accept NHS funding.
-They can also do electrolysis, but I believe electrolysis with skin is about £120 per hour, and tends to be a less experienced electrolysist than some of the other providers.
-Generally we advise to avoid using this provider, the cost/benefit/quality is just not as good as other places.

 Saying that though, they are one of the cheapest if you want full body laser.
 Generally we advise to avoid using this provider, while the cost is good, for a lot of people you just don't get as good a results as some of the other places.
+The liverpool branch has been rumoured to have closed may 2022, they have had problems with staffing for the last two years  and a lot of appointments are regularly cancelled.
+==== Just Skin ====
+Just Skin is a small independent laser skin care clinic. They offer full face laser hair removal treatments as well as any area on the body. The owner, Jo is very LGBTQ+ friendly and has a number of trans clients. The clinic is not the cheapest, prices for laser hair on the face start at £280 for 6 treatments, but they do offer discounts for multiple areas as well as payment by installments. They are based in Henley Road, off Allerton Road.
+They use a Cynosure Elite+ laser suitable for all skin types, and they have been recommended by a number of local trans clients. Jo is very welcoming and accepting.
 ===== Electrolysis =====

+====Sk:n====
-==== Advanced Medical Centre ====
+Sk:n also do limited amounts of electrolysis, this is not advertised on their website but is available.
+I personally only know one person getting their electrolysis done there so information is slightly less available.
-Advanced medical centre is ran by Kim, who has 30 years of experience as an electrolysist.
+===Pricing===
-She operates out of two locations based in the liverpool city centre.
+Sk:n charge £339 for 5 1 hour sessions
-She uses standard thermolysis in automatic mode, i.e no pedal and the needle will provide current on insertion.
-She is very fast, and gets one hair roughly every 5 seconds.
-Sessions do start as you enter the room, so you can loose 5-10 minutes in a session while she sets up.
-She does tend to work with slightly higher voltages, I personally found redness lasted a lot longer post treatment than other providers but she did manage to get rid of 4-5 times more hairs in one session than some of the other providers, which long term may significantly reduce the cost of electrolyis.
-She is a nice friendly woman, however her pronoun usage is not perfect, and she can use some out of date terminology which may be triggering for some people.
 ===Waiting Lists===
-As of april 2022, she generally doesn't have a big waiting list and you can get an appointment in about 1-2 weeks.

-==== The centre for Advance Beauty ====
+==== The centre for Advanced Beauty ====
 The centre for advanced beauty is ran by two ladies, who used to work for the company, but took it over in 2020. One lady focuses on electrolysis while the other lady focusses on facials and other procedures.
 They provide a eye mask to wear during your treatment, and play relaxing music. After your treatment they give you a complimentary red light treatment which susposedly can help with reducing the redness post session. They use an epiplus senior machine and use pico-flash (thermolysis) they do not offer blend.  Pico-flash is where the needle is inserted, the peddle pressed, and then the operator waits for 1-3 beeps depending on the size of the hair.
