✨ Introducing the PicoStar® Laser at Riverbanks Clinic ✨

We’re excited to introduce the all-new PicoStar laser to our clinic – one of the most advanced picosecond lasers available today, developed by .

This powerful technology delivers ultra-short pulses of energy that break down unwanted pigment while stimulating natural skin regeneration.

PicoStar can help improve:

• Tattoo removal
• Pigmentation and sun damage
• Melasma
• Acne scars
• Skin texture and tone

Unlike older lasers, PicoStar uses photoacoustic energy rather than heat, meaning treatments can be more precise, comfortable, and suitable for a wider range of skin types.

Even better, when combined with our Cool Laser resurfacing protocols, we can treat both pigment and skin quality in the same treatment plan.

At Riverbanks, we believe the future of aesthetics is not about overfilling — it’s about healthy skin, collagen stimulation, and true resurfacing.

📍Available now at Riverbanks Clinic

Our Cool Pico Protocol brings together two powerful lasers:
✨ Cool Laser (Er:YAG) – gently resurfaces the skin, smoothing texture and stimulating collagen
⚡ PicoStar Picolaser – targets pigmentation, tattoo ink, and deeper dermal changes with ultra-short pulses
Together, they work at different depths of the skin, meaning we can improve:
• Pigmentation
• Acne scarring
• Sun damage
• Skin texture
• Uneven tone
• Early signs of ageing
The result? Clearer, smoother, brighter skin — without aggressive downtime.
This advanced combination treatment is part of our ongoing commitment to medical-grade skin resurfacing using the latest laser technologies.

Why one celebrity can change the aesthetic industry.

All it takes is one celebrity on a red carpet.

They look incredible.
A microphone goes in their face.
Someone asks, “What have you had done?”

They’re unlikely to say:

“I’ve had a year of treatments, injectables, lasers, skin care, and maybe surgery.”

Instead, they might mention one treatment.

Suddenly the whole world believes that single laser or procedure created the result.

And just like that, the entire aesthetic industry starts chasing the same trend.

In this clip from What No One Tells You About Aesthetics, Amber Graafland and Dr Ravi Jain discuss how celebrity influence shapes aesthetic trends and why patients should always look beyond the headlines.

Mole removal surgery scars after laser surgery. I believe that using co2 or erbium lasers delivers the best cosmetic outcomes with the lowest risk of recurrence when compared to shave excision or electrocautery.

3 ways GLP-1 analogue drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro can affect your skin quality are:

1. Look Older - rapid weight loss can cause facial hollowing and sagging (sometimes called ‘Ozempic Face’ in the media)

2. Loss of DWAT Layer - loss of regenerative layer within the skin

3. Slower Healing - reduces skin’s ability to recover from wounds and inflammation

04/11/2025

There are significant dermatological consequences while on the likes of Mounjaro and Ozempic. Read Dr Jain's blog to learn more:

Wow — what an inspiring first day at the biggest Galderma UK education event I’ve ever attended! 🌟
Global experts from Brazil 🇧🇷 and the US 🇺🇸 shared incredible insights into the Galderma portfolio — especially how isn’t just a biostimulator, but also helps stimulate stem cells, regenerating new fibroblasts, collagen, elastin and rebuilding the extracellular matrix itself.

We also dived into an important topic: how to support patients on GLP-1A treatments to prevent skin deterioration before it starts showing. 💡
