“My treatment is the best investment any woman could make for herself and is better than a week in Spain”.

“I personally found the Thermage treatment painless overall with some tenderness under the chin/neck area, however, nowhere near the ‘cigarette stubbing’ pain level I had read about.!"

“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."

“ 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."

“I always return to Dr Rakus for my Muscle relaxing injection treatment because I trust her immensely - she always does such an extraordinary job! It’s such a pleasure to be greeted so warmly by her exceptional staff. They always remember my name which means a lot. I truly wouldn't’t put myself in the hand of anyone else. Dr Rakus is truly the best!”

"I knew I wanted to have some work done, but I wanted to know I was in good hands. I sought impartial advice and met with Wendy Lewis, the New York aesthetic consultant. She recommended Dr Rakus - she was right. I know I'm in safe hands and my treatments have been effective without side effects and have drawn many compliments".

How Did We Learn About the Anti-Aging Skincare Benefits of Whole Coffee Cherry?
Coffee cherry handlers in the world’s tropical coffee growing
regions, in spite of a harsh sun drenched
environment, have unusually smooth, soft, younger skin on their hands
and lower arms because of their
exposure to the natural anti-aging benefits of the coffee cherry fruit
during picking and harvest.
This led scientists to examine the components of the whole coffee cherry and the development of the world’s first and unique mycotoxin free whole coffee cherry extract - CoffeeBerry®. Unlike traditional coffee bean extracts which have been used in cosmetics for many years, CoffeeBerry® is the patented extract of the whole coffee fruit which has been scientifically researched, clinically proven, and endorsed by both the pharmaceutical industry and the medical profession worldwide!
The Story Behind CoffeeBerry®
Antioxidants
are among the most popular anti-aging “cosmeceuticals” in
the marketplace and have
become the worldwide skincare anti-aging leaders. Plants have developed
unique antioxidant cellular
defences against free radicals, oxidative stress and aging because they
are literally “stuck in the sun,”
lacking the mobility of animals to relocate to less toxic environmental
stress when needed. Being cultivated
in the warmer sun-drenched equatorial regions of our planet, the fruit
of the coffee plant, or the
coffee cherry as it is known, has developed superior free radical defence
compounds. These super rich
defence compounds are potent antioxidants, known as polyphenols, and
whole coffee cherry is loaded
with the most potent mixture yet discovered, thus providing even more
free radical scavenging health
benefits than green teas, fruits or vegetables.
The most potent health benefits of the coffee plant are concentrated in the whole coffee cherry. Unfortunately, in today’s coffee industry, the main components of the coffee cherry, the pulp and mucilage, are traditionally “scrapped” in the process of harvesting and preparation of the coffee bean for roasting. During the traditional harvest of coffee, from 10 lbs. of coffee cherry, the yield is 2 lbs. of coffee beans and 8 lbs. of by-products—80% of the coffee fruit is wasted—and along with it, the multiple health benefits of this super antioxidant rich fruit!

Anna Curtis gives her verdict:
Where Dr M R Rakus, 34a Hans Road, SW3
(tel: 020 7460 7324).
Price £850.
Pain factor. 'It's quite anxiety-provoking. I dosed up on Nurofen and was numbed for an hour with anesthetic gel, but the laser still felt uncomfortable - a scratching pain like sandpaper across my skin. But it only lasts 10 minutes.'
Recovery time. Afterwards my skin was hot, incredibly red and tight like sunburn. I lay low for a day until the red had faded to a pinkish glare, and a day later it was almost gone.
Verdict. Fraxel is the whole number - a facelift without the knife. The pigmented marks on my décolleté have almost gone, my skin is beginning to feel softer and more youthful and, along with some help from Restylane on my upper lip, my lines are definitely fading.'
My hairdresser (people who always notice!) made me thrilled when she said “What have you done to your makeup. It looks good, you appear refreshed and your jaw line is tighter. A new face cream? Tell me about it”
It wasn’t makeup or creams, but Thermage performed by Dr. Rita Rakus. I’ve trusted her for many years now and I know that if she suggests a new treatment I can rely on her judgment. I’m so pleased that I had Thermage.
