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!!

Get perfect hands!

With the medical level of IPL used at Riverbanks Clinic you can achieve results not possible in salons. Reduce and remove age and sunspots to restore your hands to their former glory! Find out more about IPL on our main website.

The cost for these two great treatments?

For July only we’re offering a Radiesse treatment and 2 IPL treatments at the reduced cost of just £1200 – a massive saving of £500!

Hips are one of those areas that most women have trouble with.  You’ve probably heard phrases like ‘voluptuous’, ‘curvy’, ‘generously proportioned’ and, possibly less kindly ‘child bearing hips’ – and if these terms have been applied to you, you’ve probably wished to have less obvious curves!

Sometimes diet and exercise don’t shift those ‘bumps’, but how would you feel if you could have just one treatment and get that streamlined outline that looks fabulous in leggings, slim fit trousers and those ubiquitous skinny jeans that are must in everyone’s wardrobe?  No hospitals, no general anaesthetic, no scars, no long recovery period (and no need to save up forever either).  Does it sound too good to be true?  It isn’t.

Saddle Bags Before Vaser Lipo

Saddle Bags treated with Vaser Lipo

VaserLiposelection is a procedure that allows you to get the same results as you would from surgical liposuction in most cases – without all the surgical downsides.  The results on ‘saddlebags’ and too-curvy bottoms have been amazing; you’ll be surprised at what a big difference it will make.

With a slim and streamlined hipline it’s not only slim-fit trousers that will look sensational, dresses and skirts will hang better too.  You’ll feel much more confident wearing jackets that stop just below the waist and you’ll be proud to draw attention to your hips and thighs, instead of having to choose outfits that camouflage the lumps and bumps.

It’s simple – just give Dr Jain at call at Riverbanks Clinic on 01582 762877 and banish those bumps for good!

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.

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!

As the Baz Luhrmann song famously says, “Wear sunscreen”

He goes on to say:

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists.

And that’s Riverbanks Clinic’s very own Dr Ravi Jain’s advice too – wear factor 30+ sunscreen every day to keep your skin safe as well as looking good. SPF30+ should be an essential part of any anti-aging skincare regime, and you should be even more vigilant as the Summer grows closer.

Gone are the days when basting yourself in searing heat to achieve a golden tan was a pastime to be commended. Nowadays, we’re constantly being reminded of the dangers of skin cancer, and being told to cover up and apply high-factor sunscreens.

As we age, and spend more time in the sun, our skin becomes weaker and less elastic. Collagen, the protein that makes up 80% of our skin, loses its ability to stretch and recoil and we develop wrinkles and age (liver) spots that make us look much older than we are.

Doctor Jain highly recommends the sunscreens featured in our online shop – each one having been tested and proved to work – whether or not you’ve had a procedure at Riverbanks. Why not take a look and buy sunscreen online now?

As for the Baz Luhrmann song? We’ll give him the final word:

trust me on the sunscreen…

That’s right – the offer of the summer! Simply purchase 4 or more skin care products from our online shop (one of which must be a skin corrector) and we’ll give you £100 off our June  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.

• As skin ages the exfoliation rate of dead cells from the stratum corneum slows dramatically thus increasing the appearance imperfections manifested in this dead cell layer.
• As skin ages the moisture content of skin is reduced due to reduced levels of the skin’s natural moisture binding substance – Hyaluronic Acid.
• AHAs work by two main mechanisms of action- they are natural chemical exfoliators and potent moisturizers.
• The result of topical AHA use is skin NORMALIZATION – a return of the skin to “normal” moisture content and proper exfoliation rate – back to basic skin fitness and health.

For some people ageing hands are a very serious and worrying part of their body. Sometimes the loss of firmness and volume can leave your hands looking worn, aged and weak. It can make you feel self conscious and nervous about yourself. In some cases you might even try to cover your hands with gloves or clothing.

However, there is a method which can significantly reduce the effects of ageing hands. Up until now the procedures involved in rejuvenating ageing hands were not ideal. No specific technique has worked perfectly and methods are often intrusive and very painful. But there is an option which is realistic and non-invasive.

In this article we’re going to look at the treatment of Radiesse. The treatment itself contains a dermal filler which consists of calcium hydroxylapatite. The CaHA is injected into the skin and then moulded into place. The affects of the procedure are noticed immediately and do not require constant visits and follow up treatments.

The research

The Dermatologic Surgery published a research paper on the use of Radiesse in April 2010. The study involved 6 countries across Europe with 62 adult patients. The research wanted to examine how effective calcium hydroxylapatite or CaHA is when combined with anaesthetic at combating diminished volume in ageing hands.

Patients were injected with either 0.1ml of lidocaine bolus in each hand followed by CaHA or 1.3ml of CaHA premixed with 0.1 to 0.2ml of lidocaine. These interdigital injection techniques were then followed by massage and molding to distribute the filler followed injections.

The results showed that 86% of patients that had undergone the procedure were satisfied with the results. 12 weeks after the administration of the Radiesse 93% of investigators we satisfied with the results. During weeks 2 and 12 of the treatment patients were examined by a physician. The physicians evaluated 98% of patients as improved or better on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale.

The investigators concluded that the treatment is safe to use and overall highly successful. The treatment is easy to use, there are minimal postprecedure events and the outcome was desirable. CaHA is deemed as safe and the benefits are efficient and the treatment option is nonintrusive.

Is it for you?

If you’re uncomfortable about ageing hands and would like to see what options are available it would definitely be worth enquiring about Radiesse. Since the treatment is easy and painless to administer there are no difficult or lengthy procedures to go through. It’s also completely safe and there is no risk of damaging or affecting your hands in any way.

If you’re serious about rejuvenating ageing hands then it’s a good idea to talk to your practitioner. They will be able to provide you with information and advice on Radiesse. The treatment may not be suitable for everyone so you can ask any questions learn about what’s involved in the treatment.

If you want to see younger, healthier looking hands then ask Dr Ravi Jain about Radiesse.

Are you concerned aboutdark rings under the eyes, wrinkled and loose skin of the upper and lower eyelids?  Are your eyebrows beginning to droop and make you look sad all the time?

Well, the new Fractional Eyelift has arrived!

Using the latest fractional laser resurfacing technology Dr Ravi Jain can offer you a laser procedure, which is safe and effective with minimal downtime.  It takes away dark rings and wrinkles, tightens upper and lower eyelid skin and helps to elevate drooping eyebrows.  It has a good number of the benefits of a surgical eyelift without the risks and downtime.  The only problem it doesn’t address is bulging fat pads.  There is no risk of injury to the eyes.  Only a numbing cream is applied to the eyelids for anesthesia and three to five sessions are recommended at 2-3 week intervals.

Before and after Madonna Eyelift

With fractional laser resurfacing, the laser beam is broken into microscopic columns of laser light.  When the beams strike, they leave normal surrounding skin areas intact so the outcome is very quick healing.  These columns of laser light take away (or ablate) old, damaged collagen and elastic fibers so that new fresh tissue can grow into these channels.  As this occurs, wrinkles and pigmentation are removed, skin tightens and the eyelids are rejuvenated.   A recent study in over 300 patients showed consistent and very impressive results.

SPECIAL OFFER

Our normal price for each procedure is £400, but for 1 day only, this Thursday you can have 1 procedure for only £250, or buy a course of 3 for only £1000!
