Riverbanks Clinic are proud to announce that Dr Ravi Jain, the clinic’s lead cosmetic physician, will be speaking and getting involved with live deomonstrations and workshops at this year’s prestigious Cosmetic News Expo at the Business Design Centre in London on the 7th May.

The expo, which is on both the 6th and 7th May, is one of the country’s leading exhibitions for aesthetic treatments, offering visitors and delegates the opportunity to hear about all the latest treatments and aesthetic treatment news.

Attracting 450 delegates in the field, the Cosmetic News Expo features industry leaders including plastic surgeons, cosmetic doctors, dermatologists, aesthetic nurses, dentists and aestheticians, this year including our very own Dr Jain.

Speaking in the Body Aesthetics session from 10am-12:50pm, Dr Jain will be focusing on High-Definition VASER from the start of the session for 20 minutes. Dr Jain will be giving this presentation to fellow industry practitioners, speaking about High-Definition VASER which is designed to reveal the hidden muscle definition around the abdomen, upper arms, chest, back and legs, and which is available at Riverbanks Clinic.

After speaking on High-Definition VASER, Dr Jain has agreed to give the Galderma sponsored workshop on Emervel between 11am-12pm in the workshop area. This is later followed by a presentation and live demonstration from 2:50pm in the Facial Aesthetics: Volume and Contouring session alongside Dr Beatriz Molina during the A Full Facial Approach to Aesthetics – Cheeks, Lips and Tear Troughs section.

Dr Ravi Jain is not only the medical director of Riverbanks Clinic, but also an industry leading cosmetic physician in a wide range of body and facial treatments, as well as the UK’s most experienced VASER surgeon. This is why, unsurprisingly, he has been invited to speak in front of industry practitioners at this year’s Cosmetic News Expo.

We’re delighted to let our patients know that Dr Ravi Jain of Riverbanks Clinic has been featured in the Tatler Beauty and Cosmetic Surgery guide.

His entry is featured below – click on the image to see a bigger version and read how they described Dr Jain as ‘clean cut, softly spoken and extremely knowledgeable’, and Riverbanks as ‘possibly the cosiest clinic in the UK’

If you can’t read the image, we have transcribed the copy below:

“Clean-cut, softly spoken and extremely knowledgable, Dr Jain is a rare breed: a country doctor with a big-city pedigree. He runs Riverbanks, possibly the cosiest clinic in the UK. Set in a converted 250-year-old pub in rural Bedfordshire, it boasts five state of the art treatment rooms and an on-site operating theatre. A lot of Dr Jain’s patients are mothers form his daughter’s school – a good endorsement, we think – and consultations are done over coffee, which puts nervous first timers at ease. He is an expert on VASER, a body sculpting technique that uses ultrasound to breakdown fat. You can also seek him outing town, as he visits London weekly to consult at smart rooms in Chelsea*. Consultation £50, Vaser from £2000. Ring 08447047761 or visit riverbanksclinic.co.uk”

*Since this article was written, Dr Jain’s London consultations are in Harley Street.

If you are one of those fitness fanatics who spend hours at the gym each week and have done so for months if not years, but still can’t see the muscular definition you feel you’ve earned? It just doesn’t seem fair that no matter what you eat or burn off, its never enough? How do those models get that ripped look?

Well, I have it on good authority that a lot of international models choose Vaser Hi-Def to give them the sculpted look they need for their careers. On top of that, many of them ended up as cover models afterwards. Vaser HiDef is not just for models though as many everyday folk are choosing it to satisfy frustrations at the gym, or even boost their fitness regimes.

Vaser HiDef can sculpt away the stubborn fatty tissue between your muscle groups on your abdomen, flanks, upper arms and pecs in order to reveal that hidden torso!

Women also choose Vaser Hi-Def and tend to go for a softer approach, revealing a more toned look rather than a ripped effect.

Vaser Hi Def is a surgical procedure performed under local anaesthesia in a clinic setting. It is performed by certified surgeons and Dr Ravi Jain is one of only 5 surgeons in the UK who are formally trained by the VHD innovator Dr Alfredo Hoyos.

Riverbanks Clinic is not only a favourite amongst leading UK beauty editors, but has also caught the attention of the world’s leading authority on body sculpting; Dr Alfredo Hoyos from Columbia.

Dr Ravi Jain, the leading cosmetic physician at Riverbanks Clinic, is officially the only UK doctor who has attended both the Advanced VASER LIPO as well as the VASER HiDEF courses run by Dr Hoyos, who personally selected Riverbanks Clinic to hold the training.

Dr Alfredo Hoyos is not only the leader in VASER HiDEF Lipo (or VHD), but also the inventor of this cutting-edge technique. For men as well as women, VHD gives healthier and more natural results than ever before, using absolutely no artificial substances to boost adult’s shape and confidence.

With Dr Ravi Jain officially the ONLY UK doctor to be trained in both Advanced VASER LIPO as well as VHD, Riverbanks Clinic are able to offer their patients the most informed consultations, and more importantly, the best results.

So, what exactly are VASER LIPO and VASER HiDEF? VASER LIPO is the most effective way of removing excess body fat, helping to reshape men and women’s bodies, leaving them with firmer, healthier and sexier looking shapes. The modern way to reshape the body, VASER LIPO gives maximum results with minimal discomfort and recovery time.

VASER HiDEF is also a fat removing technique, this time offering men and women the most effective athletic looking bodies, enhancing the visibility of natural looking contours.

So, if there was ever any doubt as to whether Riverbanks Clinic was the best, with Dr Ravi Jain officially the only UK doctor trained in BOTH Advanced VASER LIPO and VASER HiDEF, you can be sure to get the best body sculpting treatment from Riverbanks Clinic.

Some of the cosmetic industries finest practitioners have been travelling to Bedfordshire to receive training in popular Vaser Lipo-selection from the region’s leading cosmetic expert Dr Ravi Jain.

Dr Ravi Jain, medical director of multi-award winning Riverbanks Clinic in East Hyde, has been firmly at the forefront of Vaser Lipo in the UK and was appointed by Sound Surgical Technoligies earlier this year as a fully certified Vaser Lipo trainer for the whole of Europe.

Spanish surgeon Dr Virginia Benitez Roig recently visited several surgeons in the UK to assess if she should introduce VASER to her Spanish practice and decided to embark on approved Vaser training with Dr Jain.

“Of all the doctors I visited I think that Dr Ravi works better than another ones. It is amazing the way they work.  I think in the future if another doctor coming it is better to do the training with Dr Jain,” says Dr Benitez.

Dr Jain says, “Vaser Lipo-selection is one of the most effective forms of removing fatty areas anywhere on the body. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic in the clinic and there is minimal downtime with most patients returning to work within a couple of days.”

Vaser Lipo a fully FDA-approved system that has been used extensively in the USA for over 4 years and is endorsed by well respected surgeon’s world wide. It has been widely regarded as a superior technology compared with laser lipolysis techniques.

Vaser Lipo uses ultrasound energy rather than laser energy to selectively dissolve the fat cells which allows for gentler suction techniques allowing for more accurate sculpting techniques and less downtime.

Prices for Vaser Lipo at Riverbanks Clinic start from just £1995.

So if you are thinking of a little nip and tuck before this Christmas you know which direction to be heading!

Riverbanks Clinic’s very own Doctor Jain was interviewed by Adrian Richards for the Cosmetic Courses blog.

Inthis interview Ravi discusses:

• His reasons for changing his career path from a GP to a full time Aesthetic practitioner
• His advice on how to set up a successful clinic
• Tips on how to survive the recession
• His thoughts on how to constantly improve quality within your practice

Listen now!

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.

Last week I was privileged to be invited to attend a global experts meeting in Miami for a leading dermal filler company. Being the only UK doctor, I was quite apprehensive as the delegate list included doctors whose work I have admired and whose research has paved the way forward for the aesthetic speciality. The meeting was extremely educational on numerous levels and I felt I was able to contribute effectively on several topics.

However I was awestruck by the amount of research each of the American doctors had carried out to help advance our knowledge. The US Food & Drugs Administration (FDA) comes under a lot of criticism there, like the Care Quality Commission has done here in the UK, but what the FDA does create, is a culture to provide good evidence based medicine, more akin to NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) here in the UK.

In the US, the doctors strive to have work published in the peer-reviewed medical journals, and to have recognition from their colleagues from around the world. This culture is in stark contrast to how the British cosmetic doctors practice. Here, the most ‘visible’ doctors are just that. The ‘journals’ which they strive to be in are the consumer glossies, rather than the respected peer-review journals. This practice, goes all the way to the top of the British Association of Cosmetic Doctors (BACD) where highly experimental treatments are lauded in the consumer press before they have been established medically, all carefully planned to drive more business.

This is so wrong.

We are doctors, and if our ‘leaders’ don’t practice with ethics and have no desire to prove their latest claims then how can they be a good representation for us? The BACD should, in my opinion, be encouraging its members to lead the field in research rather than focussing on public relations to the consumer press.

We all treat hundreds if not thousands of patients each year so we all have the resources to collect data and develop some research. Research would provide both doctors and patients guidance on which treatments are effective, as well as keep newer treatments under appropriate scrutiny. So instead of striving for publication in “The Daily Mail” surely we should aim for the likes of “The Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” or “The Journal of Dermatological Surgery”.  Any publication in these journals would prove much more credible for all involved providing security in true data rather than glory of the sometimes tainted press.

As I result, I have started several research projects and hope to present this data next year.
