Restylane review #2 – Yve at Riverbanks Clinic

Posted by admin Posted Date: Wednesday, 11 August 2010 07:48 AM

Yve was a little bit fed up with how she looked in the mirror. Being over 50 but very active, she wanted to look the age she actually feels. She was unhappy with the nose to mouth wrinkles she had and decided to go for Restylane, and was delighted to find out how painless it actually was!

Not only that, but the instant results thrilled her too!

See her review below and then read more underneath the video.

For patients that wish to give more volume to their hollow cheeks or smooth out and refill facial lines, folds or tear troughs, then Restylane’s Perlane product is perfect. Perlane works right in tandem with your body’s own regenerative processes to smooth out your wrinkles, reduce lines and increase cheek and tear trough volume. The whole experience is given an added comfort boost by adding Lidocaine to the product.

Treatment for wrinkly hands – Radiesse – Special Offer!

Posted by admin Posted Date: Wednesday, 14 July 2010 16:56 PM

No matter how much we take care of the rest of our body, wrinkly hands are the bane of any woman as she gets older, and often a source of embarrassment and worry.

But no longer! Help is at ‘hand’! (Sorry!)

Dr Ravi Jain swears by Radiesse for wrinkly hands, and July’s special offer means you can sooon have great hands AND a great complexion to match!

Radiesse – One treatment, INSTANT RESULTS.

Radiesse, which works by stimulating the skin to encourage collagen to re-grow, can also be used for instant hand wrinkle-reducing results. Some local anaesthetic is mixed into the Radiesse and then injected into the back of the hands. Between 1 to 4 injections may be required per hand, and the procedure is very comfortable. Massage is then applied by the doctor afterwards and then you have instant hand rejuvenation.

Results are FANTASTIC, and patients report back high rates of satisfaction. The effects last about 1 year so an annual top up is required.

But let’s be honest – if your hands are looking better and less wrinkled, they may still have age spots or sun damage, and that’s going to spoil the look completely. So, along with your Radiesse, you can look forward to 2 IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments on yourhands!!

What kind of recovery times can I expect with Vaser Lipo?

Posted by admin Posted Date: Friday, 25 June 2010 10:00 AM

When you’re considering a non invasive cosmetic procedure such as Vaser Lipo, you often have questions about recovery time. This is one of the most often asked questions in our initial consultations!

In our experience, patients recover much faster when they have VASER LipoSelection, compared with patients that have experienced traditional liposuction.  Unlike conventional liposuction, VASER patients are able to get light exercise within a few days and are fully back to normal within two weeks.  Of course, they should keep their compression garments on for the full six weeks.

Because VASER is only minimally invasive, and tackles only your body fat, it reduces the trauma to the body, so pain is reduced.  This means you will not need to take strong painkillers or numbing medications. In fact, to date, not one of our patients has required prescription pain relief!

But don’t take our word for it – see what our patients have to say!

BG from Luton was on holiday in Spain ONE WEEK after Vaser Lipo!

She says:

Is Vaser lipo better than Smart lipo?

Posted by admin Posted Date: Wednesday, 23 June 2010 13:24 PM

We’re often asked this question when patients come for their initial consultation, and it’s a valid question!

It’s not a matter of ‘better’ per se; they are very different methods of removing fat from the body. Smart Lipo has some advantages over traditional liposuction, but none over VASER. Vaser works differently in the way that it removes the fat and has more advantages than convention lipo and Smart laser solutions.

Simply put, Smart Lipo uses a laser to break up the fat, whereas VASER Lipo uses ultrasound technology. VASER Lipo has demonstrated excellent recovery times, because it does not damage blood vessels, nerves or connective tissues when it is melting the fat. Also, VASER is much more specific for fat than any other modality. With VASER the surgeon can treat small or large areas whereas Smartlipo is more limited to smaller areas.

VASER Lipo is performed under local anaesthesia and greatly reduce risk and recovery times, compared with traditional liposuction.
