We were thrilled to receive this email from one of our many happy VaserShape patients today:

“I am writing to thank you for the amazing Vaser Shape treatment I had

recently.

Since having children I have failed to get my waist line back, even

though I watch what I eat and exercise regularly. So when I received

an email and read up on the new Vaser Shape treatment I thought I would

give it a go. At my first consultation I was greeted by Bethany, a really lovely

lady who put me at ease and talked me through, very informatively, the

treatment process.

After the consultation I decided to go for it and I’m so glad that I

did. I found the treatment to be relaxing and very pleasant and on

each visit I was always greeted with a big friendly smile by the

receptionists and Bethany who carried out each treatment.

Before & After VaserShape

By the end of the treatment I had lost an amazing 5 cms off my waist,

plus additional centimetres off of my hips and upper waist, which has

given me more confidence with my body in and out of my clothes.

Thanks Bethany and Riverbanks

Regards

KF“

We love it when a patient gives an unprompted testimonial, so we were delighted to see this one over on So Feminine and wanted to share it with you!

I am coming up to 1 week post op having had Vaser to my chest, upper & lower abs and flanks and wanted to share my experience.

 

After a lot of research on Vaser and which were the best clinics, I decided on going to Dr Ravi Jain at Riverbanks. Dr Jain is one of the UKs leading Vaser Liposelection Surgeons and has personally been trained by Dr Hoyos (the inventor of Vaser Hi Def) at both Advanced and Hi Def levels. To date, Dr Jain is the only UK doctor to have been trained in all 3 levels of Vaser training Basic, Advanced and Hi Def.

 

I arranged for an initial consultation (£50) at his clinic to go through my options and what results I could expect. The clinic itself made a really good first impression on me. It’s clean, modern and the staff are very friendly. During the consultation I told Dr Jain the areas that I wanted treated before stripping off so he could examine me. I was encouraged to hear him say that I had good musculature and he would try and go as close to Hi-Def as he could.

 

I booked up there and then. I thought the price was very reasonable considering other quotes I had seen and given Dr Jain’s credentials. The next available appointment was in 2 weeks time, so I didn’t have long to wait. During that period, I had to have a blood test (this is arranged by Riverbanks, but the cost isn’t covered in the fee) and was sent some pre op instructions on how to prepare myself. These included a prescription for my antibiotics and painkillers.

 

I was to take my first medication the night before the operation, which was booked for 10am. I arrived at the clinic at about 9:15 so that I could get prepared and marked up by Dr Jain. I was measured and weighed so that the anaesthetist could make his calculations before being led into Dr Jain’s office. I changed into a very fetching pair of paper pants before I had my pictures taken. I was then marked up in the areas that were going to be operated on before being taken into the operating theatre.

 

Firstly, I was washed down with alcohol. I was warned that this was going to be be cold (and it was), but it wasn’t too uncomfortable. What was uncomfortable, however, was when the alcohol dripped down to my bits and pieces! That did sting a bit, but didn’t last too long. I knew I was going to be under local anaesthetic and had read other patient’s accounts of how they were awake the whole time. I can remember the needle going into my hand and the feeling of the anaesthetic being administered, but that was it. The next thing I remember is being woken up by the nurse after it was all over.

 

I was helped into my compression garment and changed back into my clothes. I would recommend wearing dark, loose fitting clothes as there will be a lot of leaking and padding. I was led to a waiting area where I had something to drink but couldn’t tackle the sandwich on offer. I was leaking quite a bit, so had to sit on some padding. I was also feeling really tired, which was an effect of the anaesthetic still in my system.

 

Once I got home, I was aching a bit but it wasn’t anything too painful. I took a couple of painkillers and went straight to bed. I had a pretty good night’s sleep but my back was aching when I woke up. This was more due to the layers of towels and padding I had on my bed in case I leaked during the night.

 

The following morning, I undid my compression vest to take my first look at my new body. The results looked amazing. My chest was now flat, as was my stomach and the love handles had gone. This was even with post op swelling, so give it a few months and I will look even better. The ‘pain’ over the last few days has only ever been like an ache and I have been taking my prescribed painkillers. I am wearing the compression garment 24/7, and taking regular walks to help minimise the build up of any further fluids. I have my follow up appointment this Friday and will be interested to hear what Dr Jain thinks of it.

 

I would recommend Vaser to anyone who is thinking of it. It really does work. I would also recommend using Riverbanks Clinic. They are very professional, friendly, very reasonably priced and Dr Jain is the most highly qualified Vaser surgeon in the country.

 

I hope to get some pictures up soon so you can all see for yourself. Happy to answer any questions too if you have any.

We’re always happy when our patients take the time to send us a testimonial after a treatment, and we love sharing them with you.

A recent Vaser Lipo testimonial REALLY put a smile on our faces though, as the sender had actually made a point of sending it when she was on HOLIDAY!

“We are in Spain at the moment (1 week after the Vaser Lipo) with friends. As soon as we met, I was asked if I had lost weight! This morning, both my husband and I were laughing as I seem to be getting trimmer every day – people will wonder what is going on! Healing is going really well and I am so glad I had the procedure.”
BG, Luton, March 2010

If you’d like to find out how YOU could be looking trimmer in less than a week, why not get in touch?

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!

I would recommend Dermaroller Microneedling from Riverbanks Clinic to anyone with acne scarring or blemishes as it really does work!

With another patient, we analysed her skin before and after the Dermaroller treatment and the VISIA Complexion analysis scored a 25% reduction in spots after the Dermaroller treatments:

Before Dermaroller

After Dermaroller

This patient reached a:

25% reduction in spots

51% reduction in redness

21% reduction in brown spots

All with absolutely no downtime!

She told us:

“Six months after my first dermaroller treatment, I noticed the initial results. I was putting on my makeup and it just glided on like a foundation advert! I looked younger, healthier, smoother I could go on! So many people have said wow, you look fantastic, what have you been doing. Iam so pleased I had this done, six months is no time at all to wait for such fabulous results, thanks Dr J!”

These are just two of the Dermaroller Reviews / Testimonials we have – if you would like to know more, please ask!

All you need to do is to make an appointment with our team and you’ll be on the way to a smoother, brighter and clearer skin.

Just thought I’d share my experience with all as am thrilled with results!

Thanks to Dr. Ravi Jain and Riverbanks Clinic.

For many years I had suffered in silence and became increasingly more conscious about my man-boobs, particularly as the left one was larger than the right one. I am 38 years old and although, not overweight, I tried dieting and started working out at the gym. After several months, the muscles in my pecs were getting larger, but this only emphasised the size of my moobs as the localised fat there wouldnt shift or reduce, no matter how much I worked out or dieted.

After much research I realised how common this problem actually is and in hindsight the size of my moobs in comparison to some stories and pictures Ive seen were maybe not excessive to other cases Id studied, but to myself they were large enough to cause me personal embarrassment and distress for years. T-shirts, polo shirts and fitted shirts always hung badly on me and made me feel booby and any tops with pocket details were definitely ruled out as this only emphasised my shape. Every time I walked past a shop front window or a mirror I would have to look at my profile or catch my reflection in the window and it was becoming an obsession – an obsession I had to break!

After researching a number of clinics I had a consultation with Dr. Ravi Jain at the multi award winning Riverbanks Clinic in Bedfordshire. He fully explained the procedure to me and said that Vaser Liposuction and a little excision of some of the glandular breast tissue would be necessary to give me the shape Id always wanted. Even before Dr. Jain had fully finished the consultation, he had installed complete confidence in me and I had already decided that I wanted him to perform this cosmetic procedure, so I booked my appointment.

The procedure itself is relatively painless and you are sedated throughout and I can hardly remember any of it at all and it was all over in a couple of hours. I had the surgery on a Thursday afternoon and took some painkillers for 4 days until Monday. There is very little down-time. I even went to see a concert at The O2 on the Saturday, only 48rs later. I have to wear a compression garment initially for 3 weeks for 24 hours a day, followed by another 3 weeks for 12 hours a day. This all aids the healing process and is an important part of the procedure.

It has been 2 weeks now since my surgery and words cant begin to describe how completely and utterly thrilled I am with the results to date and this will still only improve with time. I have no scars and any visible bruising is all gone and my chest is now firmer and much flatter with its natural contours now visible. I cannot thank Dr. Jain and his staff enough. Throughout this entire procedure, whether pre, during or post procedure the professionalism of Riverbanks Clinic cannot be faulted. I would highly recommend Dr. Ravi Jain and The Riverbanks Clinic to anyone. I can honestly say that this is has been a life altering experience for me, which is a huge claim to make and my new found confidence is for all to see. If youre considering having this procedure, dont suffer in silence like I did. My only regret is not having it corrected sooner!

Big thanks to Justin for posting this over at SoFeminine!

I chose Vaser lipo purely for the fact that the pain was minimal.

I went to visit Dr Jain, and was so impressed with all the staff there that I didn’t hesitate to pay for the treatment.

I felt very comfortable during my treatment, and I always feel welcome when I go for my follow up consultations.

The results have made me feel more comfortable with my body; however I think I will need some minor corrections.

This does not bother me as I know that Doctor Jain will give me the best advice.

I would like to thank Doctor Jain and his team for all the support during and after my treatment, and would have no problem recommending Riverbanks Clinic

Many thanks to Macrolane Viewpoint for this great video showing Nicola Brookes describing her Macrolane Breast Enhancement experience.

We’re always thrilled to get testimonials from happy patients – here’s a round up of just some of our most recent happy Vaser Lipo patients!

“I chose vaser at River banks because the lady who took my phone call was very helpful friendly and informative. She made sure if she didn’t know the answer she found out from someone who did, she was also interested in what I was trying to obtain for me and how the treatment would be aplicable to me, rather than reciting from a fact sheet. The other factor was the cost Riverbanks offered a competitive price structure, and Dr Jain was happy to talk to me over the phone before I travelled the 3.5 Hours that it takes me to get to Luton this made a huge difference.” Fiona, Bristol

“Wanted to treat area that had not been impacted despite years of training. Didn’t want surgery so went to Riverbanks Open Evening where VL was discussed. Happy to follow that route and very pleased with the outcome.” Lydia, Luton

“I am happy that I did the treatment. I think it encourages a good way of thinking and behaving – it isnt a quick fix but its a massive kick in the right direction! It isn’t about weight loss, but it certainly makes you take better care of your body (and what you put into it – especially when you see what gets pumped out) which as a result means that you work towards a better shape and are more determined to keep it that way. If you team it with good diet and exercise the results are fantastic. But it does take time and commitment, and a bit of faith! It can be worrying at first as you don’t know how its going to turn out or what its going to feel like, but if stick to a healthy of way of life, you’ll be rid of those fatty areas for life!” Laura, Oxford

“ Initial phone call was cheerful and informative. No pressure was applied at any time to perform any procedures and I was allowed to form my own opinions. All staff have been very professional, but calm, friendly and supportive at the same time – many places find it hard to achieve this balance. The Doctor was courteous and respectful. I was reassured by straight, honest answers to my questions. Doctor made me feel personally safe, confident with my decisions, and comfortable with myself which can’t be easy in view of the reasons for going to the Clinic in the first place. Everything was explained clearly without using unfamiliar technical terms or making me feel stupid. I was left with a very realistic idea of the final outcome of my treatment and being fully informed at all times, have never had any cause for concern. I could have had Vaser anywhere, but I doubt anywhere else would provide the level of care on so many different levels as they do at Riverbanks Clinic. Thank you.” Farah, Berkhampsted

“it seemed the best results with less downtime. boosted my confidence, made me happier with my body” Sarah, Norwich

“Initially chose Riverbanks as it was close to home. However, I wouldn’t now go anywhere else for treatment. Totally professional with a friendly staff and atmosphere. I chose Vaser Lipo because it could focus on specific problems areas. I am extremely pleased with the results.” Amanda, Harpenden

I’ve just begun to visit Riverbanks and it’s like visiting old friends.

I know that I’m in for a great welcome, a sparklingly clean clinic, professional staff who listen to me, provide advice on treatments and who will give me time to think about that advice.

Then when my treatment began I felt utterly comfortable, both physically and mentally.

After the first appointment all I wanted to do was to book a date for the next one.
