Sun damage clearly visible (c) Wikipedia
It is incredible to look back over the centuries and find out how all the different attitudes that people had towards sun and tanning have changed.
At one point being tanned was only for the lower class who worked outside on the land and the more wealthy people would prefer to remain pale, as an indication of the status. This is still the case in some Far Eastern countries too.
Then we started to see the ‘healthy glow’ of a tan as a positive thing – although some people took it too far and did irreparable damage to themselves through excessive sun exposure.
It doesn’t just take lying for hours in the sunshine or visiting sunbeds regularly to cause skin damage. In fact, every single day your skin is exposed to UV (Ultra-Violet) light and causes some kind of damage – even when you can’t see the sun itself. You can’t even feel the UV rays so it is difficult to understand exactly what is happening. Read more... (582 words, 2 images, estimated 2:20 mins reading time)

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.

We are all aware that women come in all manner of shapes and sizes, which means that although most women are not completely satisfied with their body, they can at least learn to love the body they’ve been given. In fact, for many women, when it comes to looking healthier or younger, it’s the condition of their skin they try to improve, and not their overall body shape or size.
So this Mother’s Day, give your mum something they will really love you for; a course of rejuvenating skincare treatments.
At Riverbanks Clinic, we offer a wide range of effective skincare treatments to tackle various problematic skin conditions, leaving yummy mummy looking skin. For many of us, our mums would have grown up in an age when the exact damaging effects of the sun were unknown, leaving many women with sun-damaged skin. A course of IPL (intense pulsed light) can dramatically improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin using medical strength IPL light which targets the dark patches of sun-damaged skin, causing them to absorb the light, flake, and fall off, reducing the patchy pigmentation of the skin.

It won’t come as much of a surprise that skin damage is a huge issue for British men and women, with summer holidays, sun beds and general ageing leaving many with sun damaged skin. If you start to find that your face is showing the obvious signs of sun damage such as uneven skin pigmentation, red thread veins and looser skin, then an Intense Pulsed Light (or IPL) treatment could give you back healthier, younger looking skin.
Sun damage does not only occur after a 2 week intensive summer holiday, or one too many trips to the local tanning booth, but also over time. Sun damaged skin and general signs of ageing can even be caused by our own feeble British sun where UV light is still able to break through the clouds and reach our exposed skin. This everyday exposure to harmful UV rays makes our skin become damaged and weaker as the levels of collagen are reduced, leaving us with sagging, as well as discoloured and unhealthy looking skin.

For many, the idea of undergoing an invasive cosmetic procedure to get a healthier, younger looking face is too extreme. But there is a much more natural, gentle and simple procedure to give women the youthful face they are after. Forget full face lifts, and instead consider Sculptra treatment to enhance and restore youth in the face and body.
Sculptra, also known as the liquid facelift, is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that helps to restore volume and therefore youth to the face and body. This injectable treatment involves a qualified Sculptra medical professional injecting the natural Sculptra treatment into the areas which need plumping up. Like seeds of collagen, over a few months Sculptra encourages the skin’s natural collagen to grow, plumping up the area to leave a more youthful skin.
Sculptra is a treatment which can be ideal to smooth, fill out and repair all sorts of facial and bodily problem areas. The most common areas for women of all ages include sagging jowls, hollow cheeks and deep folds and wrinkles, which all age the skin, leaving it looking unhealthy, tired and old. Other areas where Sculptra can help are wrinkly hands and chest area, and acne scarring, all of which can reduce the confidence all women should have about their body. Read more...

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. Read more...

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. Read more...

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. Read more...
