Dr Rita Rakus

Ageing has a way of sneaking up on you, stealthily depositing wobbles, bulges and wrinkles in its wake. Fighting against this resistant enemy can be tricky, but luckily there is help at hand - Dr Rita Rakus. She's internationally known as the ‘London Lip Queen', although the perfect pout is far from being Dr Rakus's only claim to fame. As an expert in all aspects of non-surgical facial rejuvenation and body contouring, Dr Rakus is perfectly placed to add some zing to your beauty regime. She is a founder member and Fellow of the British College of Aesthetic Medicine and has recently been inscribed onto the Wall of Honour at the Royal Society of Medicine.

With over 25 years' experience in clinical practice, she is an international award winner with a huge celebrity following. From her renowned Knightsbridge clinic (handily situated opposite Harrods), Dr Rakus combats common ageing problems for the face and body.

Treatments using ultrasound and radio­frequency waves, like Thermage, Ulthera,Exilis, IntraCel and Pelleve - and now the new Jeisys' Ultracel - all help to rejuvenate and tighten the skin. Choose from fat-busting therapies to streamline your figure and complexion-enhancing treatments to reveal a fresher you. Dr Rakus has all the latest aesthetic technology at her clinic.

She also provides non-surgical treatments in Bristol at Bristol Plastic Surgery working with eminent plastic surgeons Mr Mercer and Mr Orlando. Treatments are tailored to you, ensuring that you obtain the optimum results. It's hardly surprising that these are award-winning therapies.
