Welcome to Snowberry Lane Clinic

Specialising in reducing all types of slight and deep wrinkles, Belotero® is a reliable new filler treatment, created in Switzerland. Belotero® is injected into different depths of the skin as required by the level of treatment. Due to the unique structure of Belotero®, it is easy to inject through a small diameter needle and therefore a more precise result is achieved. The smooth result of Belotero® is immediately visible. Belotero is based on hyaluronic acid which already exists in our bodies therefore no synthetic materials are used. The effects last from 6-9 months and two treatments per year are recommended for a natural result. Some redness may appear after the treatment however it disappears in a few hours.

Visia, a diagnostic skin system analysis, uses photographic technology to effectively identify the areas of a person’s complexion which are damaged. The machine analyses the results by comparing them with an age matched population, to give a scientific basis to recommend suitable treatment for the individual complexion. Spots, pores, wrinkles and sun damage are only a few of the problems that can be recognised by the computerised program, which can also project the ageing process to show you how you might look five years older or younger. The procedure takes about an hour to be completed.

Up to now, skin conditions such as psoriasis or vitiligo have been difficult to administer and get good results for. However Excilite, a type of ultra violet light therapy is a new effective treatment for both conditions. Excilite treatments are usually shorter than any other type of UV treatment due to the power of the machine. The size of the treated area can range from a diameter of 1 to 30 centimetres. Vitiligo is a disease where the skin loses its pigment in patches and by using UVB; it can help to cure the loss of pigment. There are no side effects and after one treatment cycle, clinical observation reveals extensive areas of improvement to the condition of the skin.

"I am delighted to have added these treatments to our already broad range of products at Snowberry Lane which will help us offer the very best care for different skin conditions", commented Dr Rupert Gabriel, the Medical Director at the Centre.

...a popular minimally-invasive fat removal method and Radio Frequency Surgery, a high-tech way to tackle raised skin blemishes.

The procedures will be carried out by Dr Malcolm Gerald, a practising local GP. Dr Malcolm Gerald commented: "The Tetbury clinic will give access to some of the latest cosmetic surgery procedures at a comfortable local clinic. As a practising GP, clients can rest assured that they are accessing the highest standards of care."

He added, "SmartLipo is revolutionising liposculpture as we know it today. Not only is it minimally invasive, but it is performed under local anaesthetic and it is safer and far less aggressive than traditional liposuction – with smoother results. Most patients are able to carry out their day to day activities immediately after the procedure. We look forward to introducing this ground-breaking treatment to Gloucestershire."

Also on offer is technologically advanced Radio Frequency Surgery for the removal of moles and other unsightly skin blemishes, particularly on the face. It is a safe and elegant method for removing raised skin lesions without cuts or stitches, giving excellent cosmetic results. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic and takes as little as 10-15 minutes.

Dr Gerald adds "I am not aware of a technique which remotely approaches Radio Frequency Surgery in terms of results and I believe we will be the only people offering it in the county".
