Banish unsightly hair growth in darker skin – permanently

Darker skin usually means darker hair – and whilst a head of shining hair looks fabulous, those dark hairs growing in places you’d rather they didn’t can make you feel very self- conscious. The more aware you are of excess hair growth, the more you feel that people are staring at the dark hair on your top lip, chin or brow,. It can really affect your confidence, especially when no matter what you do it just grows back. When you don’t like what you see in the mirror, it’s difficult to feel attractive.

It’s likely you’ve looked into more long-term solutions such as laser hair removal, but been put off by their painful reputation or they weren’t suitable to your specific skin type. However, with a new advanced and pain-free hair removal system, now is the time to reconsider.

The experts at Riverbanks Clinic use the leading-edge Super Soprano XL Laser Hair Removal System which kills hair at the root to prevent regrowth – without harming your skin. It’s suitable for most skin types – even Asian skin types which are known to be particularly sensitive to the earlier laser treatments, which could result in skin discolouration.  Read more...

Are you struggling to cope with excessive hair growth?

Posted by RaviJain Posted Date: Thursday, 16 June 2011 11:27 AM

Excessive hair growth can have a real impact on your confidence – especially when you’re coping with it as a result of a medical condition. If it’s something you’ve developed over time, getting used to the routine of hair removal isn’t easy and can be very expensive, not to mention that self-conscious feeling when you go out.

It’s likely you’ve already considered procedures such as laser hair removal, but were put off by their painful reputation. However, with a new pain free system used by the experts at Riverbanks Clinic, you don’t have to live with excess hair any longer.

The advanced Super Soprano XL Laser Hair Removal System technology kills hair at the root, meaning it won’t regrow – and it doesn’t harm your skin. It works on most skin types – even on Asian skin types known to be sensitive to old laser treatments. So you can forget the symptoms of excess hair – you can have hair-free skin long-term.  Read more... (265 words, 2 images, estimated 1:04 mins reading time)

Advertising of Hair Loss products banned for misleading customers!

Posted by LEEHUGGON Posted Date: Friday, 20 May 2011 13:19 PM

One of the UK’s leading Hair Loss treatment brands behind both ‘Nourkrin’ and ‘Viviscal’ of which we see major advertising and endorsement by celebrities with their ‘Men’ and ‘Women’ products has had its supplement advert banned for misleading customers. Viviscal was said to contain ‘the nutrients needed for healthy hair’ in national press promotions however claims that it could ‘nourish hair follicles’ and keep hair in ‘optimum health’ had not been proved said the Advertising Standards Authority.

This is not the first time that claims by certain Hair Loss products have been disputed. A few years back Advanced Hair Studios with their laser treatments also hit the press….

Viewers were misled by adverts for an anti-hair loss laser treatment, featuring sports stars, the Advertising Standards Authority has ruled. The watchdog said Advanced Hair Studio had failed to prove that its infrared radiation treatment was effective. Ex-England cricketer Graham Gooch and former England rugby player Austin Healey appeared in the commercials.  Read more... (440 words, 1 image, estimated 1:46 mins reading time)

Pain-free Hair Removal in Harpenden

Posted by RaviJain Posted Date: Friday, 05 November 2010 10:39 AM

It would be fair to say that removing body hair through waxing, shaving and hair removal creams can become somewhat tiresome. With daily, weekly or monthly sessions needed to keep the legs, arms and bikini area hair free, perhaps it’s time for a more permanent solution.

For many, laser hair removal has connotations of pain, lengthy treatments and mediocre results, but the new, innovative Soprano XL laser hair removal system, none of these are true. This type of laser hair removal is completely pain free, and where original hair removal lasers only treated one hair at a time, the light in the Soprano XL laser can treat multiple hairs, dramatically reducing treatment time. And the sensation is a mild prickling which our patients are amazed by.

Finally, the results speak for themselves. To be used on fair skin and dark hair (talk to an expert to check other skin types and ethnicities) including Asian skins which other laser hair removal systems can’t treat, the treatment involves creating an energy which is absorbed by the unwanted hair, which creates a heat that destroys the hair root. All this means whilst the hair is treated, the skin is left undamaged, only leaving a smooth skin area.  Read more... (389 words, estimated 1:33 mins reading time)

It really is painless hair removal!

Posted by admin Posted Date: Friday, 30 April 2010 10:25 AM

“But it can’t be!” people say.

“But it is!” we reply.

Gone are the days when laser hair removal had to be painful and endured – with award winning Super Soprano XL™ Laser Hair Removal System, laser hair removal really doesn’t hurt at all!

Don’t believe us?

See what our patients have to say:

“Before visiting Riverbanks I was always afraid of the pain with laser hair removal and waxing, but I can truly say that Dr Jain’s new laser is really painless. After just one session I haven’t had to shave my legs for a week now. This really does work.”
Rosalind J, London

“I decided to have laser hair removal on my face, as I felt uncomfortable with the hair on my upper lip, sides and chin. The female therapist was very friendly, put me at ease, explained everything and answered any questions I had.  The treatment was pain free and I noticed a difference straight away, a reduction in the hair growth, and it was very slow to reappear, making me feel more confident.”  SJ  Read more...

Sick of your hairy back?

After laser hair removal

After laser hair removal

We’ve all seen those polls: “What do you like most about your man?” – usually it’s eyes, hands, bum, sense of humour, whatever. I’ve not yet seen one that says “I love his hairy back” – have you?

While there’s nothing wrong with being a little hirsute, many men are embarrassed by their hairy back, and sick of the ‘funny’ comments from friends and strangers alike.

Baring all in summer becomes a nightmare, and even getting changed in changing rooms becomes something to worry about, and all because of that hairy back.

Well help is at hand with painless laser hair removal from Riverbanks Clinic!

At Riverbanks Clinic, we use the latest laser technology to provide you with EFFECTIVE and PAIN FREE Laser Hair Removal, for most skin types and ethnicities.

Laser Hair Removal for Men – pain free & hair free!

Posted by admin Posted Date: Thursday, 29 October 2009 13:15 PM

Whenever we talk to the guys out there, they tell us that one of the things they hate most about their bodies is a hairy back. Interestingly enough when we speak to the ladies, they don’t like hairy backs on men either!

But men tend to shy away from laser hair removal, because they think that, like waxing, it’s going to hurt and take ages to get rid of their hirsute back (or chest)!

Well, luckily for the men AND the ladies, at Riverbanks Clinic we use The Soprano XL, which is the only Painless Laser Hair Removal system in the world. No pain, no stress, and more importantly, no hair!

See our video below which walks you through the process, and then visit the painless laser hair removal page on our website for more information and to see the great results!
