Skin Excellence Clinics

Skin Excellence Clinics The South West's leading medical aesthetic clinics
Plymouth & Wells Medical-led aesthetics clinics in the Southwest with clinics in Plymouth and Wells.

The guiding principle of Skin Excellence Clinics has always been to deliver exceptional patient care: this was the focus in 2005 when Dr Strawford started in the field of medical aesthetics and has remained the ethos we have followed. Dr Ian Strawford, founder of Skin Excellence Clinics will help you to find the right solution: but only if appropriate for your needs and expectations. You will receive a medical consultation, where you will be given plenty of time and space to consider all of your options, before deciding if treatment may be right for you. We source the best products through official UK Pharmacies: we do not risk the safety of our patients, the quality of our service or the results of your treatments. Whilst many people naturally assume that cosmetic treatments are all about beautification: we can help to reduce the psychological and emotional effects of scarring, acne, rosacea, excessive sweating, hair loss and skin lesions.

If your skin’s starting to look thin, crinkled or a little less firm than it used to, you’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone.

Crepey skin is one of the most common concerns we see, especially around the eyes, neck, décolletage, arms and knees.

The good news? Advanced treatments like and /Mesotix are designed to target the cause, not just the surface.

Morpheus8 works by combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. This helps to improve firmness, smooth fine lines and strengthen the skin’s structure over time, leading to a more lifted, rejuvenated appearance.

Tixel/Mesotix focuses on skin quality and texture. By creating controlled micro-channels in the skin, it encourages natural renewal and boosts the absorption of active ingredients. The result is improved hydration, refined texture and visibly smoother, healthier-looking skin – ideal for delicate areas that can’t tolerate more aggressive treatments.

These treatments can be a powerful option for anyone searching for real, evidence-based solutions to crepey skin rather than quick fixes.

So, if you’ve been typing “treatments for crepey skin” into Google or Instagram, this might be your sign to book a consultation and explore a personalised plan for your skin ✨

Feeling self-conscious about a mole or skin lesion? You’re not alone. For many people, it’s not just about appearance, but confidence too.

One of our recent patients came to us to have a facial mole removed and described the entire experience as reassuring from start to finish. From the warm, friendly welcome at reception to our spotless and professional clinic environment, they felt confident they were in the right hands straight away.

Thanks to modern radiosurgery, moles and other superficial skin lesions can now be removed safely, with minimal risk of scarring, without the need for traditional surgery. The procedure is quick, comfortable and straightforward, with excellent results.

While cosmetic mole removal isn’t available on the NHS, this offers a safe, simple and cost-effective alternative. Skin Excellence Clinics is a CQC-regulated medical clinic, with procedures carried out by experienced medics specialising in dermatology and skin lesions. We always advise patients to choose a medical clinic when considering mole or lesion removal.

Anti-wrinkle injections - there's a reason why they are consistently one of the most requested treatments at Skin Excellence Clinics.

Results show within a few days, revealing a refreshed complexion with fewer fine lines and wrinkles, plus there is little to no downtime and the treatment itself is straightforward and quick.

However, this isn't to say that Botox is without risks. In this video, our Medical Director Dr Strawford discusses some of the most common questions patients ask about anti-wrinkle injections and what to expect if you choose us for your treatment.

Dr Strawford and our nurse practitioners are highly experienced in administering anti-wrinkle injections for a natural but effective result. Interested in finding out if this is the treatment for you? Why not book a consultation with us to find out ✨

When do we decide that a patient doesn’t need treatment?

Every treatment plan we create is based entirely on what is safest, most appropriate, and genuinely beneficial for the individual in front of us. While many people come to us expecting a procedure, there are times when the most responsible clinical decision is to recommend no treatment at all.

This can happen for a number of reasons, including:

✨ Medical considerations: If a procedure could place a patient at unnecessary risk due to their medical history, current health, medications, or skin condition, we will always prioritise wellbeing over aesthetics.

✨ Emotional or psychological factors: Sometimes a treatment may not support a patient’s self-image, mental health, or expectations. In these cases, we take the time to understand their motivations and ensure that any future treatment would be truly beneficial.

✨ Unsuitable or unnecessary treatment requests: If a procedure is unlikely to deliver the results a patient is hoping for, or if we believe it won’t enhance their natural features, we’ll offer honest guidance and alternative options instead.

These decisions are never taken lightly. They rely on clinical judgement, ethical responsibility, and a deep understanding of each patient’s unique needs. It’s one of the many ways our medical team ensures every recommendation is made with care, expertise, and integrity.

Dr Strawford is a highly-skilled aesthetic and well-being Doctor with many years of experience, who treats every patient individually - whether they are eligible for a bespoke treatment plan or not.

More fantastic results with JULÄINE™ of Sweden 🤩

Carla, who was one of the first people in the UK to have this treatment, came to us concerned about the skin in her neck, lower face and jawline. Having grown up in Australia, prolonged time in the sun meant the delicate skin in this area was showing signs of damage.

She was keen to retain a natural look but wanted to look 'good for her age', with no puffiness or signs of 'having work done'.

As a course of treatments with gradual results, JULÄINE™ was the perfect solution. The images of the patient here are taken seven months apart, demonstrating a significant reduction in inflammation, a more defined jawline and much improved skin texture.

The poly-L-lactic (PLLA) injectable acts as a biostimulator to produce collagen for periods lasting up to 24 months. Patients often report an instant improvement in skin texture and appearance, however the collagen stimulating process takes a couple of weeks to properly start, then continues for three to four months after treatment.

Unlike other poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) products, JULÄINE™ of Sweden works with new LaSynPro microsphere technology, where all microspheres are an even size. Unlike some other treatments, there is no need to massage after treatment and no risk of nodules, so it can be used anywhere on the face, neck, and body - even the eyelids.
