Chemical Peels for Dry Rough Skin

So after months of wearing socks and boots throughout the winter, most of us have been left with dry rough skin on our heels - not a good look when we want to bear our feet and get summer ready for flip flops and sandles!

You're all probably finding that moisturising is not enough and you've tried all the over the counter creams and gadgets but to no avail. Frustrated?

If this problem sounds familiar, then you need to try a Foot Rejuvenation treatment. 

At the Claudia McGloin Clinic, we've been busy trialling Chemical Peels to get rid of our dry, cracked heels and hey presto - we have Sexy Summer Feet :)

A Chemical Skin Peel is a great way of removing Calluses, Corns and Dry, Rough Skin from your feet. 

Give the clinic a call on 071 9140728 for further details and watch out for special summer offers on our business Facebook page - Claudia McGloin Clinic

With a little TLC your feet can be Sexy Summer Feet :)

Why Dr Daniel Sister trademarked the name DRACULA THERAPY PRP

Dracula therapy – and why I’ve trademarked the name

Posted on April 30, 2013by drsister

As we’ve already discussed on this blog, Dracula therapy is the name I’ve given to my own version of PRP treatment.

I’ve been working with PRP for over 5 years and have performed more than 700 procedures, and during that time I’ve created what I believe to be the ultimate cosmetic version of this treatment.

Since its increased popularity, I’ve taken the step of trademarking the name ‘Dracula therapy’ as I’ve become increasingly frustrated with seeing the name attributed to inferior versions of the treatment. I am also very concerned about some of the special offers I’ve seen advertised online, aimed at luring patients into multiple treatments that they may not need – all for a so called ‘reduced price’.

So, if a doctor does not perform the treatment in the specific way I have developed, and has not been trained by me, it’s NOT Dracula therapy.

Let’s look at what sets Dracula therapy apart from other PRP methods.

The quantity of blood taken

-       We harvest just 20cc of blood (more can be unpleasant for patient). My experience has established that 20cc is the perfect amount to create the best ratio between blood taken and PRP harvested.

Keeping it hermetical

-       Most other PRP kits use a chemical buffer gel to separate the red blood cells and the plasma. Because I have concerns about some of the filaments escaping I do not use this method, which therefore means Dracula therapy is 100% hermetical.

Ensuring it is autologous

-       We do not mix the plasma with fibrin – therefore Dracula therapy is totally autologous (meaning that 100% of what is injected into the patient is from the patient’s own blood).

Concentration of platelets

-       In Dracula therapy the diameter of the tubes, length of tubes, centrifuge speed and time spent in the centrifuge is very precisely worked out in order to ensure that the growth factors are not activated before injection.

This ensures the correct concentration of ACTIVE platelets – therefore the best result for the patient.

Specific treatment protocol

-       There are other areas where my method of PRP differs from other doctors. These include the exact positioning of where I inject, how deep I inject and the specifics of any mixing with or without hyaluronic acid, vitamins and minerals.

The correct training

-       Anyone claiming to be performing Dracula therapy needs to have been trained by me. If you’re speaking to a doctor about having Dracula therapy and want to check if I’ve trained them – just ask me!

-       We currently provide training sessions for the London School of Medicine, Wigmore Medical Training and, coming later this year, British College of Aesthetic Medicine.

Done correctly, a patient would only need Dracula therapy twice a year to maintain the results – I’ve seen clinics advertising courses of treatments and recommending repeat treatments at 4 – 6 weeks – and this is simply not necessary.

We are always delighted when we receive feedback from our patients at the clinic and we are also extremely delighted when we are quoted by colleagues in their Blogs.

Below is Dr Daniel Sister's Blog which is based on our clinic and our patient's feedback on Dracula Therapy for Hair Loss. This is a remarkable treatment and to date have had nothing but positive feedback from patients. I trained with Daniel in London and am always blown away by the treatment and what I can achieve with it. This is my favorite treatment to perform at the clinic.

This is one of many reviews and we will post more.

Patient feedback: Dracula Therapy for hair loss

Posted on March 24, 2014by drsister

I teach Dracula Therapy all around the world, and I love to keep in touch with my pupils and hear their success stories as they use this amazing treatment.

Claudia McGloin trained with me some years ago – and has had enormous success with Dracula Therapy at her clinic in Sligo, Ireland.

Claudia contacted me recently to tell me about a patient with a hair loss problem, who has seen an amazing improvement: “My patient had been losing hair for years and hadn’t noticed any links to hair dyes etc. She had tried many shampoos and hair products but nothing was helping. Her hair was falling out constantly without washing it or brushing it, and was quite thin on top and at the sides. She is has noticed an amazing improvement.”

The patient emailed Claudia to thank her, and was happy for us to share her comments here on my blog.

“Hi Claudia I just want to let you know that since having Dracula therapy exactly 3 weeks today on my scalp for hair loss, I have noticed a massive difference. I’m still losing a very small amount when I wash it but it’s nothing like the amount I was losing before the therapy. Friends have also noticed how healthy and thicker it’s looking. Thank you so much for the treatment and also for injecting the remainder around my eyes and forehead I really feel so much more confident. Thank you”

If you want to know more about how Dracula Therapy can help with hair loss (both male pattern baldness and male and female alopecia), there’s more information in this blog post. For more information on the Claudia McGloin clinic, visit Claudia’s website.
