Ditch your droopy eyes with new ‘Madonna Lift’

They say the eyes are the window to the soul, but thousands of women dread looking in the mirror and hide their face behind long hair because they are embarrassed by their droopy eyelids. But thanks to award-winning cosmetic clinic Riverbanks, you can now wave goodbye to saggy eye syndrome without having to opt for a surgical eye-lift by choosing to have the ‘Madonna Lift’ instead.

Riverbanks Clinic in Bedfordshire is the first in the country to be offering the ‘Madonna Lift’, a revolutionary new treatment designed to tackle droopy eyelids without the need for needles or surgery.

The treatment uses SmartXide DOT Fractional C02 Laser to stimulate collagen growth around the eyes, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lift up the eyebrows, giving the appearance that the eye is more open.

The treatment takes a matter of minutes and there is virtually no downtime. Most patients need to have 3-5 sessions to see noticeable results. The treatment costs £500 per session and can last for 2-3 years when combined with a good skincare routine.

Dr Ravi Jain, Medical Director of Riverbanks Clinic believes that the treatment could revolutionise the way patients manage their anti-ageing care and could help reduce the frequency of ‘emotionally fuelled’ visits to their cosmetic practitioner for premature top up treatments.

“The eyes are the one thing that people focus on when interacting with someone and it is also one of the first things we notice when we look at ourselves in the mirror. Droopy eyelids can have a huge impact on a person’s confidence and they are often driven to have other treatments such as Botox and fillers to try and improve the area around the eyes, but it never really tackles the problem. The ‘Madonna Lift’ gets right to the root of the problem and literally opens up the eye area, giving an instantly younger and smoother result,” says Dr Jain.

Dr Jain believes the Madonna Lift may become as popular a treatment for the out of town clinic as the revolutionary fat-reduction procedure Vaser. Dr Jain is vastly experienced in Vaser and teaches doctors and surgeons all over Europe in the technique. The clinic also offers maintenance treatments such as Botox, fillers and skin peels.

Why should your Dermaroller Practitioner be trained and authorised?

Dermaroller Therapy is a procedure which can give you younger, fresher, healthier looking skin. The procedure itself uses hundreds of micro needles to encourage growth of the dermis. It's these needles that cause the skin to regenerate, thus resulting in fresh skin. This procedure is something that must be carried out by a professional expert that's trained.

If your Dermaroller Therapy is carried out by anyone that's not trained or authorised you could cause serious harm to your skin. The procedure may look simple and you might even be tempted to carry it out at home. However, there is a very specific technique which is required. There's a great deal of science behind Dermaroller Therapy so you need to know how to use it properly.

So, if you're thinking of having Dermaroller Therapy have you thought about where you'll have it done? Are the practitioners at your nearest clinic trained and authorised to use the device and procedure? These are very important questions which you must answer before initiating any medical treatment.

How the treatment works

The results of smoother, brighter, healthier younger looking skin are achieved by encouraging the dermis to regenerate cells. The Dermaroller head will create approx 300 micro medical needle channels per cm² into the dermis of the skin. The needles are specifically targeted to reach the nerve cells and other areas which are responsible for new skin growth.

Effective treatment will involve pin point bleeding and there will be slight swelling across the area being treated. A local anaesthetic will be used to create a numbing effect so the procedure is a pleasant experience. In most cases the procedure is repeated 3 times over a 6 week period.

Training is thorough

For practitioners to be able to carry out the therapy they are required to attend thorough training. There is a lot of science regarding the skin and how cells are produced. The practitioner will need a comprehensive understanding of how the treatment works and the correct technique to use in order to achieve the most effective results.

The Dermaroller procedure can even be used on delicate areas around the mouth, the eyes and even on the eye lids. This is something that requires great skill along with experience. Practitioners are highly trained to carry out the procedure and will also be able to offer you advice if you're unsure whether the treatment is right for you.

Do you want beautiful results?

Ultimately, the reason you want the treatment is to achieve healthy, fresh, younger looking skin. However, these results will only be achievable if a trained and authorised practitioner is administering the treatment. It might be tempting to use someone cheaper or even try it at home. But, do you really want to risk it?

A trained and authorised practitioner will know how to give you the healthy skin you're after. They can also let you know if the treatment isn't suitable for you. This is advice that you want to listen to and understand.
