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!

There’s been amazement at the heat recently, and it may have taken some of you by surprise, but really, you should be wearing Factor 30+ sun protection all year round. Yes even in winter! Your skin needs protection all year round and without it you’re heading towards wrinkles, premature aging and sunspots quicker than you can say “Ouch, I’ve got sunburn!”

So why not pop over to the Riverbanks Clinic online shop and stock up on sun protection? With prices from £14 to £59 there’s something to suit all skin types and budgets!

When you’re considering a non invasive cosmetic procedure such as Vaser Lipo, you often have questions about recovery time. This is one of the most often asked questions in our initial consultations!

In our experience, patients recover much faster when they have VASER LipoSelection, compared with patients that have experienced traditional liposuction.  Unlike conventional liposuction, VASER patients are able to get light exercise within a few days and are fully back to normal within two weeks.  Of course, they should keep their compression garments on for the full six weeks.

Because VASER is only minimally invasive, and tackles only your body fat, it reduces the trauma to the body, so pain is reduced.  This means you will not need to take strong painkillers or numbing medications. In fact, to date, not one of our patients has required prescription pain relief!

But don’t take our word for it – see what our patients have to say!

BG from Luton was on holiday in Spain ONE WEEK after Vaser Lipo!

She says:

“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

Neville from Birmingham tells us:

My recovery was quick and I was back at work after 2 days and back exercising after two weeks as instructed. Within 3 weeks I saw my muscle definition appearing and now after 3 months of exercising (less than I used to) I have the definition and shape I’ve always wanted.

And Suzie from Luton was happy with her recovery time too:

After my procedure, I was back at work the next day despite having a litre of fat removed from each thigh!

If you’d like to have a chat regarding any aspect of Vaser Lipo, including recovery times, call Riverbanks Clinic now on 01582 762877

We’re often asked this question when patients come for their initial consultation, and it’s a valid question!

It’s not a matter of ‘better’ per se; they are very different methods of removing fat from the body. Smart Lipo has some advantages over traditional liposuction, but none over VASER. Vaser works differently in the way that it removes the fat and has more advantages than convention lipo and Smart laser solutions.

Simply put, Smart Lipo uses a laser to break up the fat, whereas VASER Lipo uses ultrasound technology. VASER Lipo has demonstrated excellent recovery times, because it does not damage blood vessels, nerves or connective tissues when it is melting the fat. Also, VASER is much more specific for fat than any other modality. With VASER the surgeon can treat small or large areas whereas Smartlipo is more limited to smaller areas.

VASER Lipo is performed under local anaesthesia and greatly reduce risk and recovery times, compared with traditional liposuction.

Multi-award winning non-surgical cosmetic clinic Riverbanks has announced that leading Macrolane Breast Specialist Surgeon Miss Jonquille Chantrey has joined the team at Riverbanks to provide Macrolane breast enhancements.

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!

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!

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.”

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!
