In our view, success means not only addressing problems and delivering natural-looking results, but helping you maintain a beautiful, healthy appearance for as long as possible.
Safety and expertise
Your safety, quality results and happiness are our number one priority. Rippon Medical is accredited by Safe Face – an impartial organisation committed to ensuring that aesthetic practitioners are properly trained and qualified. This is the only scheme to visit every accredited practitioner and premises to ensure that patients are in safe hands, and that safe products are used in a safe environment.
Rippon Medicals Patient Promise
From the moment you step through our doors, you will receive the highest quality care and a tailored approach to meet your precise skincare needs.
We will always offer sound professional advice based on your individual requirements and will only offer treatments that we consider are both effective and safe. We will never offer any treatment that we would not consider for ourselves. You will receive treatment recommendations and full information about our aesthetic solutions that you can consider at your leisure before agreeing to any treatments and you’ll never be placed under any pressure to have a treatment.
Once you have made your booking, you will be looked after by Dr Rippon. Our appointment intervals are booked so that you will not feel rushed, and wherever possible we offer appointments at times that will fit in with your busy lifestyle.
Depending on what kind of treatment you have, you will receive a post-treatment follow up in 2 to 3 weeks’ time with Dr Rippon so that you can really see the difference.
Our philosophy is about not only addressing skincare problems and delivering fantastic, natural looking results: we help you maintain beautiful, healthy skin for as long as possible, which is why our patients come back to us again and again.
Earlier this year Health Education England recommended that any register of non-surgical practitioners should become accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). In doing so, Save Face has become first body to take the Keogh and HEE recommendations and successfully implement them in a much needed model, becoming a respected regulatory organization. The PSA recommends that the public only use registers who have met their rigorous standards. This means that aesthetic practice is now recognised as a healthcare service in the UK, which helps to distinguish the field from the wider beauty industry.
As an Accredited Register, Save Face is now part of a programme recognised by the Government, The Department of Health, NHS England, The Care Quality Commission and Health Education England. As a member, Rippon Medical Services is one of the first registered non-surgical aesthetic clinics in Cumbria. This means that we are part of a `PSA accredited register, recognised by the Government and the statutory regulators. Rippon Medical Services continually demonstrates our commitment to high professional standards, enhancing safety and delivering a better service. The accredited registers programme was set up by the Government to improve standards and safety for the benefit of the public.

Extra Treatments
Regenerative Aesthetics - PDO Thread combined with PRP
What Better way to rejuvenate your skin than to harness your body's own power to revive your natural beauty?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is the latest medical treatment to cross over into the world of aesthetics. Long established as a treatment for healing wounds, PRP has also been adopted by sports medicine (Tiger Woods and Kobe Bryant are both reported recipients) and orthopaedic specialities.
Today PRP has found a home in aesthetics and Rippon Medical Services is proud to be successfully treating our patients with their own unique growth factors. These growth factors are used to rejuvenate your skin, by healing damaged or aging skin. Dr Rippon MBCHB Advanced Aesthetics Medical Practitioner uses the Cellenis PRP system which is safe and effective, versatile, non-allergenic, and offers virtually no downtime or side effects. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is plasma from your own blood which contains concentrated platelets.
What are platelets?
Platelets are a specialized type of blood cell fragment in your own blood which are reservoirs of natural growth factors. Platelets rupture and release their growth factors when they find themselves out of their normal environment (which is in your blood vessels). Typically this occurs when an injury occurs to the body and blood vessels are ruptured. This could be due to an accidental cut or scrape or a bruise. The released growth factors then get to work building new blood vessels and new tissue. In normal circumstances, growth factors are important in healing and skin regeneration.
* Growth factors stimulate collagen secretion, cell growth and tissue remodelling.
* Growth factors stimulate development of new blood vessels to improve skin nourishment.
* Growth factors attract stem cells to assist in this role of new tissue regeneration.
By injecting platelets in a Platelet Rich Plasma, we harness this new tissue regeneration ability of the growth factors. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) assists in recovery from the aging process and importantly, enhances the results of other rejuvenation treatments. When we combine the treatment with our PDO Thread Lifts the results give restoration of skin moisture and glow, and an improvement in skin texture and tone.
