"I would like to highly recommend Dr Rakus’s Fraxel treatment. I have had a course of 6 sessions over the past 2 years and have found the results to be absolutely amazing. My skin texture is very smooth and soft plus the small fine lines around my eyes and mouth have almost disappeared. I would highly recommend this treatment!"

job! It's such a pleasure to be greeted so warmly by her exceptional

Dr Rakus is
truly the best!"

“The Botox® looks fantastic – it has really made a difference. I was talking to my husband last night about City Bonuses being down so much next year and what we could cut down on. As I said to him “we can do without the trip to Mauritius next year, but the Botox® will be the last thing to go!!”
Claire P., aged 43
“Apart from the obvious lift effect I really notice the difference in the appearance of my skin. It looks fresh and dewy and, at the age of 43, it is wonderful to have young looking skin again! Thank you."

Contour, shape and slim the body by dramatically improving the appearance
of cellulite in as few as 4 treatment
sessions without downtime or significant
discomfort.
The secret behind the VelaShape treatment is elos—the first and only technology that combines powerful energies to reduce the volume and appearance of fat tissues. With this unique approach, we are able to treat multiple areas including the abdomen, buttocks and thighs in less than 40 minutes.

The beauty of elos VelaShape cellulite treatment
80% of all women over the age of 20 have cellulite, regardless of size or shape. Cellulite occurs when fat cells in the deepest layer of skin become over-inflated from an increase in fat storage. The fat cells protrude up through the tissue causing dimpling or a “cottage cheese” appearance. Syneron’s VelaShape device is FDA cleared for cellulite reduction.

Treatment is virtually painless (some even call it pleasurable) and requires zero downtime.
The VelaShape bottom line is:
- It shrinks thighs, smoothes hips, reshapes buttocks, tautens tummies and reduces love handles;
- Provides a better-contoured, more toned body shape that looks and feels younger;
- Gives gradual but cumulative results, including the smoothing of lumpy, dimply skin, as well as the slimming and reshaping of puffy, fatty areas,
- Works on all skin types and colours, and has no side effects.
- In clinical studies, 85% of treated clients reported inch loss from the thighs and abdomen ranging from 1/2” to 5.3”, with most losing at least 1”.
- Also recommended for sagging skin anywhere on the body, such as after pregnancy or weight-loss.
How does VelaShape work?
VelaShape uses Elos technology, a synergistic combination of both Bi-Polar Radio-Frequency (RF) and Infra-Red (IR) light energy, with two types of tissue massage - mechanical and vacuum.
The unique mix accelerates the use of stored fat,
shrinks existing fat cells, and also increases lymphatic
drainage. This is achieved partly by the precisely targeted
and controlled heating of dermal and hypodermal tissue
(using both IR and RF energy), while simultaneous massage
smoothes out the skin in order to optimise their delivery.
Developed by IPL- creator Dr Shimon Eckhouse and respected physicist Dr Michael Kreindel, Elos Velashape surpasses conventional laser and IPL technology because:
- the RF and IR light energies work synergistically for maximum effectiveness;
- using RF as a heat source makes it particularly easy to control;
- the IR is at a level that is safe for all skin types; and
- tissue targeting is very precise;
In addition, the mechanical massage assists lymphatic drainage and helps soften stiffened tissue fibres, while vacuum massage also dilates local capillaries, oxygenates the tissues and helps boost metabolism.
As a further benefit, the combination of vacuum massage and Infra-Red produces a dermal heating effect which has a separate skin firming, cellulite-reducing action.
Getting the VelaShape treatment
A schedule of four weekly treatments is usually all that is required.
Maximum benefits are most apparent four weeks after the final session. Many clients see visible results after two sessions, and some measure of firming and tightening is often noticed after one.

“ Over the years Dr. Rakus has kept me going - I don’t know what I would do without her! Part of her charisma is her cool, confident and quiet approach to every treatment I have had and, as a mark of the trust I place in her I am having a Thermage treatment today."
