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."

The waistline dilemma
The LipoSonix treatment is an effective, non-invasive procedure that can help.

Clinical studies with the LipoSonix treatment have shown an average reduction of 2.0 cm after a single one-hour treatment.
And best of all, because the LipoSonix treatment is non -invasive, you can have it done over lunch and go right back to work.
Individual results may vary.
Introducing ultrasonic science for effective body sculpting
Benefits of non-invasive high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)
The LipoSonix treatment uses advanced body sculpting technology that focuses
ultrasound energy to target and destroy unwanted fat. With this fast and
non-invasive treatment, you can reduce abdominal fat with little to no downtime.
This non-invasive body sculpting technology has been researched for 10 years, so you can be confident in choosing the LipoSonix treatment for your body sculpting needs.
Finally, you can reduce your unwanted fat
without
diet, exercise, or surgery.
The LipoSonix system utilises high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) combined with high frequency to effectively target and eliminate abdominal subcutaneous fat

Benefits of highly focused energy
The LipoSonix system technology focuses ultrasonic waves to penetrate deeper into subcutaneous fat compared with superficial body-sculpting devices
The LipoSonix treatment uses focused ultrasound energy, a common technology
used since the 1950s.
With the LipoSonix treatment, this energy is used to destroy unwanted abdominal fat without surgery or downtime.

| During treatment, your health care provider places the head of the LipoSonix
device on the area to be treated. Ultrasound energy is focused and targeted on unwanted fat in a deep layer of the skin. |
The focused ultrasound energy passes through the skin to directly target the fat tissue, which absorbs the energy and is destroyed. |

| Over 8 to 12 weeks, the body’s own natural healing process metabolises destroyed fat cells. | The unwanted fat is reduced, and you’re left with a thinner, more contoured abdomen. |
Important Safety Considerations for the LipoSonix system
The LipoSonix system uses non-invasive, focused ultrasound to treat areas of abdominal fat. During treatment, you may feel cold, prickling, tingling, warmth, discomfort, or pain. After treatment, you may have temporary redness, mild bruising, discomfort, and swelling. The most common post-treatment side effects include temporary erythema, mild ecchymosis, discomfort, and edema.
Treatment with the LipoSonix system is not for everyone.
It is not intended to treat obesity or areas with too little fat.
Tell your doctor if you have a bleeding disorder, are using a medication to thin your blood or prevent clotting, have had surgery in the area to be treated, or have an implanted electrical device, such as a pacemaker. If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, LipoSonix treatment must be postponed.
Ask your doctor if treatment is right for you.

"I'm 44 now. My friends are always asking what I do to keep my skin such good shape and why I don't have any wrinkles. I tell them I've been going to Dr Rakus for 10 years. Even those who were formally against having anything done - ever - have now asked me for her number!"

“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".

“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.
