"Thermage, not only did it work but I could go out to lunch straight afterwards without a problem."
Diane C., Nottingham
“ 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 couldn't imagine entrusting anyone else, but Dr. Rakus with my face. After my Thermage even my mother has noticed how well I look".

"Since I started my treatment with Dr. Rakus I can now look people in the face. My confidence has soared!"

Treatment junkie 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 jawline 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.

Everyone tells me I look so well

"I can't get over all the comments I've had about how much younger I'm looking and my friends can't put their finger on it. " Have you had any surgery?" But they can't see the scars.
I'm thrilled!"

What is Lycogel?
Lycogel combines a breathable gel-base with powerful and beautifying supplemental ingredients and skin-fortifying vitamins to promote visibly healthier skin with every application.
Using Lycogel is allowing your skin to breathe, rather
than slowly suffocating it. Other foundations cover and literally choke
the skin, inviting problems like enlarged pores, breakouts, discoloration
and wrinkles.
Lycogel is also transfer-resistant, so it won't rub off on clothes, and water-resistant for up to 90 minutes of swimming or working out.
Lycogel also provides non-chemical SPF 30 for UVA/UVB sun protection.
LycogelCamouflage
Lycogel produces a light, velvety second-skin effect, so women with conditions such as rosacea, acne, uneven skin tone, scars and extremely sensitive skin rely on Lycogel because it actually improves both the appearance and condition of their skin without irritation.
Lycogel gives you undetectable, natural looking coverage, even when applied in multiple layers.
LycogelConcealer
Lycogel concealer will virtually
erase imperfection and effectively reduces redness, inflammation and puffiness,
while firming the skin around the delicate eye area.
While smoothing skin texture, covering dark circles, age spots and blemishes,
it also increases your collagen level. It can even be used to cover scars,
birthmarks and tattoos.
Lycogel is safe to use immediately:
- After Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing, Laser Skin Peels, P.D.T. IPL, Botox and Dermal Filler Injections.
- Post Cosmetic Surgery, Hair Transplant Surgery, Scar Revision, Tattoo Removal & Vascular Treatments
- With Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis and Rosacea
- On Scarred or Burned skin
- After Chemical & Mechanical Peels

"Just flown in from Moscow for Dr. Rita to work her magic with BOTOX® before we get married next week. We are sure we will have perfect results as always. From Russia with Love!
Jon & Carolyn"
"After many years of being treated by Dr Rakus - she knows my face better than I ...!
Perfection, skill and knowledge can only portray this beautiful woman who's understanding of how to improve and enhance a lady's face is quite remarkable.
The latest Salt-A-Peel™ combined with complementary skin care products dramatically change the texture and feel to the skin.
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!
I walk out of her sanctuary with an air of confidence and self assurance which is surely all worthwhile after waiting to find space in her very tight scheduled diary."

“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”

The new Restylane Lipp treatment gave my lips an amazingly natural and soft look.
They look beautyfull and the treatment lasted for months. Really great.

"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".
