The Future of Anti-Ageing with Dr Daniel Sister

Dr. Daniel Sister talks about the future of anti ageing

JUNE 9, 2014 BY ANTONIA

Dr Daniel Sister is a world renowned cosmetic and anti-ageing medical doctor, specialising in minimally invasive procedures, practicing in London. I caught up with Dr. Daniel Sister to ask him a few key questions about the future of anti-ageing.

How would you describe consumer attitudes now to Botox and cosmetic fillers compared to say 5 years ago?  

It is a constant evolving industry. Originally Botox was overused and we saw frozen faces etc.. Little by little practitioners have learnt how to control their treatments. At the same time patients started to ask for a more natural look…consumers don’t want the frozen face look, but they want to look better; relaxed but without any tell tale signs of Botox.

We now have a very large panel of fillers to choose from, depending on what we want to achieve (higher or lower density, viscosity etc.) This means that we can achieve a more natural look once again… Conclusion? No one wants to be seen as having obviously had a treatment…. the natural look is key.

Also the introduction of different techniques to inject, different ways to use different density dermal fillers together, canulas, etc have totally changed the outcome.

What’s your latest favourite treatment?

For me definitely PRP/Dracula Therapy and the Silhouette Thread Lift, either as a single treatment or a combined treatment. The Thread Lift gives better definition specially on the jaw line without the need to add volume (which is sometimes not the best way to go).

What’s your view on the emerging biology based treatments like dracula therapy? This is key for us as we need to get a good understanding of the emerging science and how it is being applied?

Emerging biology based treatments are the next frontier. Everything will change from now on. Growth factors, stem cells, fat grafts will definitely change the face of the future, with more natural treatments and longer lasting, and with less possible side effects.

How do you see these treatments developing and evolving?

More knowledge = better results.  Obviously with the rise of PRP/Dracula Therapy the confidential “door” is now wide open.

What will be new in 5 years time?

Stem Cells, Stem Cells, Stem Cells!

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.
