Life Changing Father’s Day Gifts

Posted by RaviJain Posted Date: Wednesday, 15 June 2011 07:27 AM

Looking for an impressive father’s day gift? Imagine gifting your father with something that would change his life. Just like women, men can suffer from serious self-esteem issues due to unhappiness with their bodies; it can affect their day-to-day life, their confidence and their future. If your father (or the father of your children) is unhappy due to his body shape then why not pay for them to have the treatment that could completely change their lives?

At Riverbanks Clinic we offer a variety of treatments to help tackle hair loss, male breasts, scarringsun damaged skin, excessive sweating, wrinkles, rosacea and other skin issues. We would be thrilled to help your father gain a new found body confidence!

Popular treatments for Father’s Day include:

Botox – The most effective treatment for controlling and smoothing deep facial wrinkles: on the forehead, between the eye brows and around your eyes. Most people require 1 session each 4 months, so you may wish to purchase more than one treatment for your gift recipient.

Summer is coming, and with it the indecision and self confidence issues that most of us women suffer from, especially if we’re mothers and ‘of a certain age’. Baring all on the beach? Wearing less and more natural makeup? Wearing bingo wing and celulite showing tops and skirts? Eek!

Cosmetic treatments for the face and body are no longer just seen as a last resort, but as safe, effective and convenient ways to improve your confidence and self-esteem. Young mums especially often have no time to themselves, which is why many of the cosmetic treatments at Riverbanks Clinic appeal to today’s yummy mummys.

For those who want to improve the condition of their skin, then there are various treatments available at Riverbanks Clinic. With treatments available to tackle the likes of age spots, acne and sun-damaged skin, Riverbanks can help give yummy mummys healthier and younger looking skin through treatments such a microdermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing and dermarollers; all designed to treat your skin to leave it repaired and feeling refreshed.

Dermaroller & Acne scars – a miracle treatment!

Posted by admin Posted Date: Monday, 07 June 2010 22:37 PM

Reduce or remove acne scars for good with Dermaroller

Acne scarring can be an unsightly reminder of having to deal with that condition.  It’s hard not to feel self-conscious if you’ve been left with visible scars – but that can change with a little help!

Dermaroller is the latest celebrity ‘secret weapon’ to treat acne scars and leave your skin bright, clear and bursting with youthful radiance.  This treatment uses micro-medical skin-needling to roll away the imperfections and stimulate your own collagen to regenerate and repair your skin naturally.

It’s not a celebrity secret any longer – you can get the same fantastic skin with Dermaroller treatment at Riverbanks Clinic.

This banishes:

•    Acne scars
•    Pigmentation from sun damage and age spots
•    Wrinkles on face, neck and decollete
•    Stretch marks

Compared with other similar treatments you’ll experience only slight redness on the first day and then your skin is back to normal, so there’s no need to take time out for recovery; downtime is at a minimum. Ideally, the treatment is over three thirty minute sessions, but your initial consultation will establish exactly what your particular skin condition requires.

Want to know more about our Advanced Skin Peel Courses?

An Advanced AHA skin peel is ideal for sun-damaged skin, or certain kinds of acne, pigmentation issues or fine wrinkling around the mouth and eyes. The process is less aggressive than some chemical peels, but nonetheless highly effective.

The peel generally causes some flaking, redness and dryness, as the old skin gives way to fresh, young skin. However unlike harsher THC peels, the much milder side effects diminish within a day or two. Once the body heals itself naturally, the outer layer of skin exfoliates, with patients usually able to engage in normal activities within 24 hours.

Dermaroller treatments use micro-medical skin-needling to roll away the imperfections and stimulate your own collagen to regenerate and repair your skin naturally.

Imagine what it will be like to remove those little imperfections and to smooth away the signs of an aging skin, those little wrinkles and the ‘papery’ look on your neck and décolletage.  Radiant, resilient skin will shed the years and your friends and family will only notice that you’re looking really fabulous!

We’d like to share the following recent reviews / testimonials we’ve had for the Dermaroller treatment:

Dermaroller for acne scars

In a recent blog post, Banu Roe told us about her experience with Dermaroller Microneedling, and how it has helped her acne scars. You can read her experience here. She told us:

I absolutely loved the treatment, can’t believe I am actually saying this but I can’t wait for my second treatment which will be 6 weeks apart from the first one.

I am actually looking forward to be needled!

Dermaroller Microneedling Treatment for Acne Scars – Banu’s Story

Banu before treatment

I had always heard about Dermaroller treatment but never actually tried it before.

I knew how it is done and how it works and always knew that it would be really good for me as I suffer from acne scarring. I am really a chicken with needles as I do have a needle phobia. Me and needles don’t really go along well. When we launched Dermaroller Microneedling at Riverbanks I decided to try it. It took me couple of days to put courage into it as it looks and sounds terrifying, a roller with needles! Aughhh!

I was really nervous before the treatment I must admit, terrified!. Ann ( our nurse) applied anaesthetics cream to start with, and I waited about 45 minutes with the cream and she was topping it up every 15 min. It normally is 30 min but being a chicken I waited 45 min to make sure I numbed up well. She cleaned the cream off my face to start the treatment. Until then I didn’t realise how numb my face had gone as I keep telling her that the cream doesn’t work.

How can I get rid of my acne scars?

Posted by admin Posted Date: Wednesday, 10 March 2010 09:26 AM

It’s a sad fact that even once acne has disappeared for good, the scars can remain, and no amount of make-up will cover them all. They lead to you feeling self conscious, and in some cases have been cited as a cause of depression!

It’s easy to spend a fortune on creams and potions that just don’t work, leaving you feeling dejected and like you’re wasting your time.

But there IS an answer – and you can find it at Riverbanks Clinic.

The most effective treatment for acne scarring is laser skin resurfacing, utilising SmartXide DOT therapy. Laser resurfacing works by penetrating the skin beneath each scar to stimulate collagen remodelling and levelling out of the skin as well as improving the overall quality of the skin. When combined with a bespoke skin care regimen as well as some phototherapeutic exposure such as with Omnilux, results are even better.

Acne scars can stick around forever, and make people very selfconscious – and sometimes no matter how much makeup you use, they’re still not covered.

But there is no need to suffer – at Riverbanks Clinic we have the perfect way to get rid of acne scars for good- Dermaroller microneedling.

Dermaroller treatments use micro-medical skin-needling to roll away the imperfections and stimulate your own collagen to regenerate and repair your skin naturally.

Compared with other similar treatments you’ll experience only slight redness on the first day and then your skin is back to normal, so there’s no need to take time out for recovery; downtime is at a minimum.

The results really are amazing – see our before and after acne scar pictures below:
