Dr Rakus has enhanced this treatment with her speciality of 'lip so kissable' RESTYLANE injections and/or BOTOX®.
Dr Rakus will only give treatment when she thinks it is necessary and I would personally therefore put my face in her experienced hands without hesitation!

Q I've heard Renée Zellweger undergoes ‘sandblasting’ to
stave off ageing, It sounds brutal - does it work?
Claire,
Rochdale
A Sandblasting is a kind of micro-dermabrasion, where the face is blasted with sterile micro-particles to slough away the top layer of skin, then the dead cells are vacuumed away. It feels like a strong exfoliation, but doesn't hurt so there's no need for anaesthesia. The results are similar to a light chemical peel so you won't see a major result unless you have a course of six to eight sessions. (£150 a session; Dr Rita Rakus: 020 7460 7324).

Confessions of a true BOTOX® babe

by Leonie Frieda
I
am surprised at people's reactions when I discuss my BOTOX®

personal secrets, but more often they look puzzled and
fearful. The recent spate of stories calling for stringent
regulation adds to the uncertainty. So, too, does the
conspiracy of silence.

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.'

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.'
“I had developed a very sun-damaged décolletage and, having had three treatments of Fraxel, I have been very pleased with the results. I now have a much smoother, younger-looking chest area and the Fraxel has really regenerated my skin. The results are truly noticeable”

"I couldn't imagine entrusting anyone else, but Dr. Rakus with my face. After my Thermage even my mother has noticed how well I look".

"After 38 years of mental abuse, I had finally found the courage to leave my marriage. My self-esteem was non existent. I read an article in Tatler magazine about Dr Rita Rakus and decided I would try BOTOX® and Restylane. The results have been super. I am now happy to face the world on my own, feeling confident and self assured. I have since had treatments to take away fat pouches from my chin. This has also been a great success. Thank you, Dr Rita Rakus".

“My Thermage treatment has made my post-menopausal skin feel pre-menopausal again - plumper, tighter and glowing”
