I’m just back from a wonderful four days in the incredible city of Shanghai in China representing Nordberg Medical with Julaine at the Global PLLA summit. I was honoured to be representing the UK, presenting my experience of Julaine over the last 12 months and how it can regenerate and tighten skin in all patients in the most natural way with results lasting several years.

The LaSynPro technology used in Julaine has made PLLA the safest option to avoid complications such as nodules and to allow the natural regenerative product to be injected anywhere in the face and body.

Learning from the Chinese doctors and plastic surgeons, who have four years of experience with the LaSynPro technology, was inspiring. Their cases showing incredible results around the eyes, face and neck skin were amazing.

I’ve returned to the UK eager to start implementing new treatment protocols to further advance the benefits this treatment can have for our patients.

Julaine is definitely the future of regenerative aesthetics and I can see why it is the leader in China, and soon to be in Europe.

I’m proud to be the UKs first doctor to have undertaken more than 250 treatments in the last year and to be chosen to present my cases for this prestigious east-west summit meeting.

If you’re interested in finding out more about how this treatment could help you reverse the ageing process of your skin through non-inflammatory regeneration, resulting in natural long lasting results, please call to book a consultation at one of our Skin Excellence Clinics.

Do we offer treatments for other areas of the body? Yes, we certainly do!

While Dr Strawford is renowned for his skill with full face rejuvenation, many of the treatments we use can be just as effective at treating other areas of concern on the body. Whether you're conscious of some excess skin, stubborn pockets of fat or stretchmarks, we have a range of procedures available to improve their appearance.

This could be achieved by:
⭐ EvolveTone
This innovative body contouring treatment utilises EMS technology (electrical muscle stimulation) to target specific muscles in the abdomen and buttocks to refine and sculpt your natural physique, without the downtime or scars associated with invasive surgery.

⭐ Morpheus8 Body
Morpheus8 Body can be used to improve areas of skin laxity on the body, such as the abdomen, double chin, thighs and knees. Because the treatment stimulates collagen, it can also help regenerate skin and reduce the appearance of stretchmarks.

⭐ Tixel
Tixel is another method of tightening skin and reducing the appearance of stretchmarks. It stimulates the skin with non-ablative controlled heat to produce a wide range of complexion improvements for the face, eyes, décolleté, hands, stomach and more.

⭐ Bodytite™
For more stubborn areas of fat, BodyTite™ is a minimally invasive radiofrequency device that heats the tissues from within the skin to reduce fat and tighten skin.

⭐ JULÄINE™ of Sweden
JULÄINE™ can be used anywhere in the body to stimulate change to the skin and boost collagen and elastin. While we typically use it in the face, it can also be used in the neck and decollete and other areas in the body such as the upper arms, legs and abdomen, to naturally lift and tighten without volumising.

If these are areas of concern for you, don't hesitate to get in touch for a consultation with one of our doctors ⬇

We're extremely proud of our "professional and friendly service" 🫶🏼

This patient was treated by Dr Browne, with our lumps and bumps removal service. This covers sebaceous cysts, lipomas and other lumps or bumps in the skin such as blemishes, as experienced here.

While these types of lumps and bumps are not dangerous, they can make people feel self-conscious enough that they’d like to get them removed. They are formed of either dead skin cells or fatty deposits and because they do not present a threat to health, they aren’t removable under the NHS.

These can only be removed surgically as the entire mass causing the lump needs to be removed or they can reoccur - but our very experienced doctors are able to perform this procedure.

Removal is by local anaesthetic and is undertaken in our CQC (Care Quality Commission) regulated clinics in Wells and Plymouth following an initial consultation.

If you have a lump or bump that you'd like to seek medical advice on, contact us today to find out more about our 'lumps and bumps' removal service 👇🏼

Another fantastic day spent with the .uk Medical Faculty.

Dr Strawford was last year appointed as the first UK medical advisor for Juläine, allowing to be one of the first to use this product. In that time, we have administered over 200 treatments, with exceptional results.

Now we look forward to the official UK launch in October!

If you’re interested in Juläine, send us a message or get in touch via the website and we will schedule a consultation 🤩

Having a 'snatched jawline' might be the latest buzzword in aesthetics, but at Skin Excellence Clinics we have been reducing the appearance of jowls and double chins for many years - long before it was trending!

Our go-to treatment? HIFU Doublo Gold, a non-invasive, skin-tightening technology that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to lift, firm and contour with precision.

And, it's not just for jowls and double chins. HIFU can be used for eyebrow lifting, reducing crow’s feet and smile lines,
nasolabial fold reduction and more.

It targets deep layers of the skin without damaging the surface, stimulating collagen production where it counts. The result? A more improved skin laxity over time, all without needles, downtime or surgery.

Whether you’re looking to subtly lift or significantly sculpt, our expert team can tailor a HIFU Doublo Gold treatment plan to suit your goals.

What makes someone an expert in aesthetics?

When practitioners can qualify with just a weekend of training, ask yourself if the 'expert' you are planning to visit for your treatment is as qualified as they claim to be!

Dr Strawford has been practicing medicine for over 40 years, with nearly 20 of those as an aesthetics specialist. He has invested much time and money over the years in his own professional development, as well as the training and development of other members of the team at Skin Excellence Clinics.

While it can be tempting to visit clinics advertising deals and cheap prices, ask yourself if you can afford the consequences of a mistake or results that aren't what you hoped?

What's the difference in coming into clinic for LED therapy to buying an at home mask? 🚨

This is something we are often asked! But here's why professional-grade systems like Dermalux LED make all the difference 👇

✨ Clinic devices are more powerful, delivering light deeper into the skin for faster, longer-lasting results.
✨ We customise the light wavelengths based on your skin goals, whether this acne, rosacea, recovery, or something else.
✨ Treatments are carried out by trained experts who know exactly how to get the best results.
✨ In-clinic LED can be combined with other treatments to supercharge your results.
✨ Just 20 minutes per session can make a visible difference.

Home masks are great for maintenance, but if you want real skin change, clinic-grade LED is the way to glow!

What is Peyronie's Disease?

While a slight curve of the p***s is nothing to worry about it, a more severe bend could be a sign of Peyronie's Disease.

Affecting between 3 and 9% of men, Peyronie's Disease causes plaques to form around in connective tissue of the p***s, which can cause a curvature when erect. However, as this is a sensitive issue which men may not feel comfortable talking to a medic about, the figures could be much higher.

Symptoms of Peyronie's Disease can include ⬇
* Lesions (plaques) under the skin of the p***s
* Curvature of the p***s when erect
* Pain during er****on
* Inability to successfully pe*****te during sexual in*******se
* Indentation of the p***s shaft giving it an hourglass shape
* Shorting of the p***s
* The scarring limits blood flow and in some cases, the p***s cannot stay erect beyond the location of the plaques.

We have good news 🙌🏼 if any of those symptoms sound familiar, you may be an ideal candidate for the Priapus (P) Shot.

The P-Shot can be effective for reducing the plaques formed, increasing blood flow to the p***s, and reducing any bending of the p***s allowing improved sexual in*******se.

It is a safe, non-surgical treatment that uses the growth factor in PRP (platelet-rich plasma) which can also enhance sensation and function in the p***s, increase size and girth, and improve erectile dysfunction.

Dr Strawford is one of the few doctors in the UK who is trained and licensed to use the O-Shot and P-Shot procedures and has many years of experience dealing with both male and female intimate health.
