Wellbeing takes centre stage at Gaelscoil
ONE of the largest crowds to attend a meeting in Gaelscoil Faithleann turned up to hear Dr Fergus Heffernan discuss how to better understand well-being for themselves and their families during the week. Organised by the Gaelscoil Parents Council, an audience of more than 150 people heard Dr Heffernan say that, “Anxiety is at the heart of all of our problems and what we are all looking for is a place to belong and feel connected and listened too”. He feels that we are passing on anxiety to our children with pressure to perform well and also involvement in a multitude of activities, with little downtime. Dr Heffernan said: “Children must learn to make mistakes, they must learn about loss and grieving, as otherwise they won’t learn to cope or build resilience. He feels two after-school activities are enough for children to be involved with, as they need free time, and they also can learn to opt out at an early age when overloaded.” He added: “Our aim should be for them to leave school with a good sense of who they are, and to be proud of themselves, and the inner knowledge that they can get anywhere if they take their time.” Mary Carroll, secretary of the Gaelscoil Parents Council, described the evening as “positive and reflective”. “Events like this really add to the community of our school,” she said.

ELECTROLYSIS FOR HAIR REMOVAL
Jill Duggan of Killarney Toning & Beauty Studio explains the process of electrolysis
ELECTROLYSIS is a method of removing individual hairs from the face. Apilus electrolysis devices destroy the growth centre of the hair with chemical or heat energy. After a very fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle, (natural opening of the skin) the hair is removed with tweezers. There are generally no permanent side effects, but sometimes a temporary, slight reddening of the skin may occur. As well as dark hair, blonde, red and grey hair are all suitable for Electrolysis. When Electrolysis is done correctly, most people find that it's comfortable. Many ask whether there is much skin reaction. The skin becomes a little red immediately after the treatment and this disappears after about one hour. Your therapist will advise you on aftercare treatment, this is an important feature of the treatment and ensures minimal skin
reaction. We specialise in Apilus electrolysis. Apilus offers advanced technology with proven effectiveness in the field of hair removal and have demonstrated time and again that Apilus delivers more effective and more comfortable treatments as well as much more rapid permanent results than any other hair removal technique. Apilus is equipped with a unique “tolerance test”, which allows the unit to be adjusted and adapted to your level of sensitivity to the current. Apilus high-precision circuitry uses application pulses as short as one hundredth, or even one thousandth of a second, which assures incomparable comfort. Electrolysis is still the only permanent method of hair removal today despite claims from other methods.
