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.

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.  Read more...

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

Posted by admin Posted Date: Wednesday, 14 April 2010 15:12 PM
Banu before treatment

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.  Read more... (867 words, 3 images, estimated 3:28 mins reading time)

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.

My patients have been extremely happy with the improvements seen with laser resurfacing. Baby smooth skin is not a realistic goal, but good improvements are common and as a result, my patients report a boost in their confidence. And as long as no more scarring occurs, these results can be permanent!  Read more... (249 words, estimated 60 secs reading time)
