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.

Wayne Rooney hair transplant – we’re happy he’s happy!

Wayne Rooney before Hair Transplant

It’s a sad fact that a lot of celebrities undergo surgery and cosmetic enhancements, but the deny having them or try to hide the evidence. Whether it be Fern and her gastric band, Dannii and her Botox, or Gordon and his injectables.

So we were delighted to see footballer Wayne Rooney happily talking on Twitter about his recent hair transplant.

Well known for his balding pate for a number of years, it seems that Wayne has finally decided to do something about it and restore his follicles to their former glory. And good on him, we say! In this day and age there’s no need to be balding unless you want to be.

The majority of men are affected by premature hair loss, commonly caused by an irreversible inherited condition known as male pattern baldness (MPB). Typically with this condition, hair is lost gradually from the top of the head but continues to grow at the back and sides. Generally, men accept the condition with varying degrees of resignation, but increasing numbers have decided to take action – not surprisingly given the vital importance of one’s personal appearance in today’s work and social situations.

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.

Botox available in Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire

Posted by admin Posted Date: Monday, 05 April 2010 09:56 AM

It’s easy to think that if you’re looking for Botox then London is your best option, but did you know that Botox is available in Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire with Riverbanks Clinic?

Much is known about the benefits of botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A) anti wrinkle treatment and many of Dr Ravi Jain’s celebrities swear by it!

However, there are critically important things to note about this highly effective treatment: firstly, that you should only have botox administered by a skilled, reputable medical person with a proven track record for safety; secondly, that that person should be experienced in working with individuals to achieve a look that is completely natural-looking.

Rest assured, Riverbanks can confidently tick both boxes.

Botox is the most effective treatment for smoothing out dynamic facial wrinkles (the ones that appear when you smile, frown or laugh), for example on the forehead and face. One injection temporarily relaxes muscle contractions to give you a fresher, brighter, more relaxed appearance. Wrinkles become smoother and often even disappear altogether.

So, if you’re in Bedfordshire or Hertfordshire and don’t want to travel to London for Botox, find out more on our Botox page on our main website.

Restylane in Hertfordshire or Bedfordshire? Look no further!

Posted by admin Posted Date: Wednesday, 24 March 2010 16:38 PM

If you live in Hertfordshire or Bedfordshire, and are looking for the benefits afforded by Restylane, then look no further!

Riverbanks Clinic, of Luton, Bedfordshire, offers a Restylane service that is second to none.

What do you know about Restylane?

A Non-Surgical Facelift to Fight the Signs of Aging.

We all like to look our best, but as we get older, it becomes more and more difficult to fight the signs of aging. This has massively increased the number of people looking at cosmetic surgery as a way to keep looking younger for longer. But until recently, the choices were limited and a surgical facelift looked like it might be the only real answer.

But now there’s a safe, non-surgical alternative that offers the same rejuvenating results of a facelift but without the pain, scars and the downtime.

It’s called Restylane and it’s the revolutionary non-surgical facelift alternative that patients are raving about. Restylane is the latest, safest and most effective dermal filler currently available and it’s changing the way that patients think about facelifts.

Despite the financial pressures brought about by the recession, it seems that patients are still keen to keep up their beauty regime with regular doses of Botox as a top UK clinic reveals it was the most popular treatment of 2009.

Bookings for Botox-type treatments including Azzalure® and Botox® were up 43% compared to 2008 at the multi-award winning Riverbanks Clinic in Harpenden, with other common treatments such as Fillers, used to treat fine lines in the face increasing by 11% as well as the demand for Skin Care prescriptions rising by 26%.

Dr Jain, Medical Director at Riverbanks Clinic believes that their latest figures reflect a rising trend and a new breed of patient who puts skin health as their top priority, recognising that a less invasive but more frequent maintenance programme of treatments can provide much better, long term results.
