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

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!

Dermaroller Microneedling Treatment for Acne Scars – Banu’s Story

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... (867 words, 3 images, estimated 3:28 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...

How can I get rid of my acne scars?

Posted by admin Posted Date: Friday, 26 February 2010 11:15 AM

Acne scars can stick around forever, and make people very selfconscious – and sometimes no matter how much makeup you use, they’re still not covered.

But there is no need to suffer – at Riverbanks Clinic we have the perfect way to get rid of acne scars for good- Dermaroller microneedling.

Dermaroller treatments use micro-medical skin-needling to roll away the imperfections and stimulate your own collagen to regenerate and repair your skin naturally.

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.

The results really are amazing – see our before and after acne scar pictures below:

Imagine what it will be like to remove those  imperfections and to smooth away the signs of acne.  Radiant, resilient skin will shed the years and your friends and family will only notice that you’re looking really fabulous!

Want to know how to get rid of stretch marks?

Posted by admin Posted Date: Monday, 22 February 2010 10:10 AM

Some “experts” will tell you that stretch marks are here to stay.

Others will sell you creams and potions that may have a lightening effect, but won’t get rid of them totally.

Here at Riverbanks, we’ll not only tell you how we can get rid of your stretchmarks, we’ll SHOW you the proof!

Get rid of stretchmarks with Dermaroller Microneedling

Dermaroller treatments use micro-medical skin-needling to roll away the imperfections and stimulate your own collagen to regenerate and repair your skin naturally.

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.

See some fantastic stretchmark before and after pictures below:



So if you’re a mum and want to get rid of your stretchmarks, all you need to do is to make an appointment with Dr Jain and you’ll be on the way to a smoother, brighter and clearer skin.
