Testimonials
A few spontaneous testimonials. Thank you.
“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."

“I have now had 5 sessions of Fraxel with Dr. Rakus to improve my acne scars and the results have been excellent.
The treatments have been carried out professionally by competent staff in a very comfortable and relaxing environment. The treatment was slightly uncomfortable and there was some mild discomfort for about 18-24 hours after each session, but it has been worth it to achieve the results.
I felt so self conscious prior to the treatment, but I now have more positive and self confident. I have received a lot of compliments and positive feedback from friends and family and have no hesitation in recommending Fraxel laser, Dr. Rakus and her team. Many thanks!"

"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".

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.

"My treatment made a fantastic difference, giving me back my youthful appearance thanks to the Lip Queen of London"
Melanie S., September 2003
"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!"
Shalani M.
"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."

"By looking this good (following my treatment with Restylane) I have gained the confidence to fulfil my ambition of traveling and use my creative skills".

“My Thermage treatment has made my post-menopausal skin feel pre-menopausal again - plumper, tighter and glowing”
JW 25.09.08
“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.!"

"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".
Suzan B.P. 15.12.05
"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
“ 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 have had Fraxel on my face and neck with Dr. Rakus at her prestigious Knightsbridge clinic. I have never had so many compliments about my skin in my life.”

"Great service, excellent staff and best of all was the Thermage treatment - it really works!"

"Thermage, not only did it work but I could go out to lunch straight afterwards without a problem."
Diane C., Nottingham
“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”
LD 29.09.06
The new Restylane Lipp treatment gave my lips an amazingly natural and soft look.
They look beautiful and the treatment lasted for months. Really great.
Nora MC.
"I am very pleased my daughter-in-law found Dr. Rakus's clinic. Without doubt this is the most excellent service in all aspects I have ever encountered anywhere in London or Europe. I shall definitely return."

"I love my subtle new lips, which my friends in New York admire because they look so natural"
L.C., March 2005
"Dr. Rita is so gentle with her BOTOX® treatments. I can highly recommend it - I was waiting for the 'ouch factor' and it never came!"
Jane - Essex July 2005
Fantastic!

"Friends are telling me I look very young and never more beautiful - I'm 60!
When I first started treatment I only wanted to use small amounts of injections. Now I leave the amounts up to Dr. Rakus and I can truly say 'more is better' - don't hesitate to go for it!"
Diane D. New York 2004
"I have had this treatment for the last year and am delighted with the results, many of my clients are thrilled with the results too. The changes are subtle and make you look refreshed. Dr Rita lives up to the quote 'Lose 5 years in 5 minutes'."
Margaret A.
"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".
