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.  Read more...

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.  Read more...

Dermaroller and new mum stretch marks

Posted by admin Posted Date: Thursday, 06 May 2010 19:55 PM

There’s nothing like the feeling of nuzzling up to your baby – soft skin, sweet smell, and those little gurgly sounds that only a newborn can make. It’s the best thing about having a baby, don’t you think?

But where there’s a best, there’s a worst- thin hair, hormonal changes bringing spots, and the dreaded stretch marks!

Some women are really lucky – they get through pregnancy and birth and their skin just pings back into shape. The majority, however, will be left with stretch marks, and they can be confidence destroying.

But you can get rid of them – with Dermaroller Microneedling from Riverbanks Clinic!

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... (926 words, 3 images, estimated 3:42 mins reading time)

Dermaroller – get the benefits of laser skin resurfacing without the downtime…

Posted by admin Posted Date: Friday, 05 March 2010 17:13 PM

dermaroller-afterWe all dream of having beautiful, glowing, wrinkle free skin. Both men and women spend a lot of time looking after their skin and following strict beauty regimes, but sometimes even that is not enough to get the effect we are really looking for.

Our fresh-faced celebrity idols always have the most radiant skin and effortless glow – and now you can too! Dermaroller Microneedling will reduce spots, redness and brown spots (marks) as well banishing scars, stretch marks and other marks.

Sound too good to be true? Well it’s not! And even better, it is incredibly simple and actually it’s your body that does most of the work!

The Dermaroller, rather than covering or stripping skin cells from the surface, makes tiny (less than 0.1mm width) columns in the skin and encourages your body to repair itself from deep below the surface. New collagen is formed, new skin cells develop and rejuvenated blood capillaries carry fresh new oxygen and life into your skin. This fresh skin looks healthier, fuller and refreshed. Obviously this takes a little while to happen but you should start to see positive results within around 6 weeks of your first procedure, with final results at about 6 months.  Read more...
