Dermaroller Reviews / Testimonials from Riverbanks Clinic patients

Posted by admin Posted Date: Tuesday, 18 May 2010 09:32 AM

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

In a recent blog post, Banu Roe told us about her experience with Dermaroller Microneedling, and how it has helped her acne scars. You can read her experience here. She told us:

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!

I would recommend Dermaroller Microneedling from Riverbanks Clinic to anyone with acne scarring or blemishes as it really does work!  Read more... (372 words, 2 images, estimated 1:29 mins reading time)

How can I get rid of my acne scars?

Posted by admin Posted Date: Wednesday, 10 March 2010 09:26 AM

It’s a sad fact that even once acne has disappeared for good, the scars can remain, and no amount of make-up will cover them all. They lead to you feeling self conscious, and in some cases have been cited as a cause of depression!

It’s easy to spend a fortune on creams and potions that just don’t work, leaving you feeling dejected and like you’re wasting your time.

But there IS an answer – and you can find it at Riverbanks Clinic.

The most effective treatment for acne scarring is laser skin resurfacing, utilising SmartXide DOT therapy. Laser resurfacing works by penetrating the skin beneath each scar to stimulate collagen remodelling and levelling out of the skin as well as improving the overall quality of the skin. When combined with a bespoke skin care regimen as well as some phototherapeutic exposure such as with Omnilux, results are even better.

My patients have been extremely happy with the improvements seen with laser resurfacing. Baby smooth skin is not a realistic goal, but good improvements are common and as a result, my patients report a boost in their confidence. And as long as no more scarring occurs, these results can be permanent!  Read more... (249 words, estimated 60 secs 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...

Your biggest brightest Christmas gift

Posted by admin Posted Date: Thursday, 19 November 2009 16:23 PM

Christmas TimeThe largest organ in the human body is the skin — and it’s the most visible too. If it’s not functioning properly it looks dull, drab and lifeless.

All sorts of things affect how it looks from what you eat, the environment around you and what you put on it. Now Christmas and New Year are on the horizon it’s the perfect opportunity to do something spectacular for yourself.

Firstly, you need to get your skin into a state of glowing health so people don’t spend Christmas sympathising with you — the ‘You poor dear, you look exhausted, you’ve done really well though, I expect it was worth it,’ sort of comment. Wouldn’t you much prefer ‘Wow, you look amazing. I don’t know how you do it — and look years younger than you have any right to!’

You can have visibly more youthful skin by Christmas with a range of options including skin peels, microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing, dermal fillers or botulinum toxin — but you need to start NOW!  Read more... (325 words, 2 images, estimated 1:18 mins reading time)
