✨ PDO THREAD FACELIFT – THE NON-SURGICAL LIFT ✨

PDO thread lifts are one of the most advanced non-surgical ways to lift and rejuvenate the face.

Using fine medical threads placed beneath the skin, we can gently lift the cheeks, jawline, jowls and neck, creating an immediate tightening and upward lift. Some clients choose two or four threads for subtle lifting, while others opt for a full facial thread lift using multiple threads and layers to support the entire face. Generally, the more structural threads used, the greater the lifting and support.

PDO stands for Polydioxanone, a medical-grade material safely used in surgery for decades. Once placed under the skin, the threads act like a scaffold that stimulates your body to produce new collagen. As the threads gradually dissolve over 12–18 months, they leave behind tiny supportive structures of collagen that continue improving skin firmness and structure.

At Mariko Clinic, full facial PDO thread lifts are performed by Ian Felix, who has undertaken advanced training in facial thread lifting techniques.

📍 Free, no-obligation consultations available.

THE EVOLUTION OF AESTHETIC MEDICINE — PDO THREAD FACELIFTS

At Mariko Clinic, we believe aesthetic medicine should do more than simply treat the present — it should support the future health and quality of your skin.

PDO thread lifting represents a new generation of preventative aesthetic treatment. Unlike traditional approaches that focus purely on adding volume, PDO threads are designed to stimulate your own natural regenerative processes. Once carefully placed beneath the skin, these medical-grade threads encourage the body to produce new collagen, gradually forming supportive collagen “scaffolding” that helps smooth fine lines, improve skin texture, and restore gentle structural support.

While dermal fillers will always have a valued place within aesthetic medicine, they provide a temporary solution. PDO threads continue working long after treatment, supporting the skin for up to two years as collagen develops and strengthens. Even while you rest, your skin is quietly regenerating — working with nature rather than against it.

Preventative medicine is shaping the future of healthcare, and preventative aesthetic treatments are evolving alongside it. As Mariko Clinic continues to expand its advanced clinical offering, we are embracing regenerative approaches including PDO threads and polynucleotide therapies — treatments that prioritise long-term skin quality, resilience, and natural rejuvenation.

Subtle. Regenerative. Future-focused.

Skin tags are extremely common benign skin growths that can appear anywhere on the body — most often on the neck, underarms, eyelids, chest, or areas where skin naturally folds or experiences friction.

They can develop over time due to genetics, skin rubbing, hormonal changes, or simply as part of the natural ageing process. While medically harmless, many people find them frustrating when they catch on clothing or jewellery, become irritated during shaving, or simply feel cosmetically bothersome.

At Mariko Clinic, skin tags can be assessed and removed quickly and safely by Ian Felix using advanced minor surgical techniques. Procedures are carried out with precision, clinical care, and patient comfort at the forefront, allowing for efficient treatment with minimal disruption to your day.

Following your procedure, full after-care guidance and support are always provided to help you feel confident during the healing process. Ian’s approach combines clinical expertise with a holistic philosophy — supporting the body’s natural regenerative abilities and working with nature to encourage calm, healthy tissue recovery.

If you are tired of irritated or unsightly skin tags, professional assessment and gentle treatment may be simpler than you think.

A NEW ERA OF ADVANCED CLINICAL CARE — COMING SUMMER 2026

Mariko Clinic is proud to announce an important evolution in our clinical services.

By Summer 2026, Ian Felix — Senior Consultant Physiotherapist and Advanced Aesthetic Practitioner — will qualify as an Independent Clinical Prescriber. This significant milestone represents not only professional progression, but a natural expansion of the consultant-led care our patients have trusted for decades.

CONSULTANT-LEVEL PRESCRIBING & MEDICAL GOVERNANCE

Independent prescribing will allow Ian to assess, diagnose, prescribe, and treat within his professional scope, bringing together advanced physiotherapy, medical aesthetics, and prescribing expertise under one highly experienced clinical lead.

This development strengthens our ability to deliver safe, ethical, and medically governed treatments entirely within Mariko Clinic. In addition, we will be extending professional prescribing support to selected aesthetic clinics, helping elevate clinical standards across the industry.

INTRODUCING THE MARIKO CONSULTANT PAIN CLINIC

Alongside these advancements, we will be launching our dedicated Consultant Pain Management Clinics — a premium, medically led service designed for individuals living with acute, persistent, or complex pain conditions.

Each consultation will be built around a comprehensive clinical assessment, followed by a tailored treatment pathway which may include:
• Advanced consultant physiotherapy
• Independent medical prescribing where clinically appropriate
• Targeted injection therapies
• Precision rehabilitation planning
• Long-term strategies to restore function and quality of life

This is not simply a treatment appointment — it is a structured, high-level clinical service focused on resolving pain at its source.

THE MARIKO STANDARD

With over four decades of senior clinical experience, Ian Felix continues to lead with a philosophy rooted in integrity, precision, and patient-centred care. The introduction of independent prescribing marks a defining moment for Mariko Clinic as we expand our ability to deliver advanced medical and regenerative services within a refined, professional setting.

More details will be shared soon as we prepare to introduce this next chapter.

Mariko Clinic — where experience meets clinical excellence.

✨ The Regenerative Shift: Why Polynucleotides Are Becoming the New “Primer” in Modern Aesthetics

At Mariko Clinic, we are seeing a significant evolution in aesthetic medicine — a movement away from simply correcting or replacing volume, and towards restoring tissue health at a cellular level.

As we move forward, treatment planning is no longer focused solely on structural change. Instead, the priority is regeneration first — preparing and optimising the skin before considering more traditional corrective treatments.

Polynucleotides are leading this shift.

Rather than acting as a volumising product, polynucleotides work biologically within the skin. They support fibroblast activity, encourage collagen and elastin production, improve hydration and elasticity, and help modulate inflammation. By enhancing the extracellular matrix and promoting tissue repair, they create a healthier foundation for long-term results.

This regenerative approach reflects a wider change within ethical, evidence-based aesthetics. Patients today are seeking improvements in skin quality, resilience, and longevity — not just immediate alteration. Polynucleotides are therefore becoming a strategic first step, often described clinically as a “primer” before other treatments.

At Mariko Clinic, our philosophy has always centred on subtle, intelligent treatment planning. By integrating regenerative therapies into personalised pathways, we aim to support natural outcomes while reducing the risk of overcorrection or unnecessary intervention.

The future of aesthetics is not about doing more — it is about doing smarter, supporting tissue health, and building results that last.

If you would like to learn more about regenerative treatments and whether polynucleotide therapy is suitable for you, our team will be happy to guide you.

✨ Natural. Subtle. Confident. ✨

We absolutely love seeing our clients feel comfortable enough to share their journey — and Zoe’s results speak for themselves.

At Mariko Clinic, we believe in enhancement, not change. Zoe has chosen a series of gentle, carefully considered “tweakments” designed to refresh and restore, while keeping her natural features completely her own. No filters, no heavy edits — just small, bespoke adjustments that help her feel more confident in her own skin.

Every face tells a story, and our approach is always personalised, clinically led, and focused on natural outcomes. Sometimes the most powerful transformations are the ones that simply help you look like the best version of yourself.

If you’ve been thinking about subtle aesthetic treatments but want results that still look like you, we’re always here to guide you safely and honestly.

Important Update from Mariko Clinic

From 1st April 2026, there will be a small adjustment to our Physiotherapy Consultation & Treatment fee with Ian Felix.

For many years we have intentionally chosen to keep our physiotherapy prices significantly lower than the recommended private practice rates across Stourbridge and the wider West Midlands. Our aim has always been to make high-level clinical care accessible to as many people as possible, while maintaining the personal, family-run ethos that Mariko Clinic is built upon.

With over 44 years’ experience as a Senior Consultant Physiotherapist, Ian continues to provide in-depth assessments, hands-on treatment, and honest clinical advice — without rushing appointments or compromising on the quality of care. Every session includes time, expertise, and a level of clinical knowledge that reflects decades of practice within professional and regulatory standards.

This has not been an easy decision for us to make. Over the past year we have seen a substantial rise in clinic rental costs, utilities, insurance premiums, professional body memberships, licensing fees, and the many behind-the-scenes expenses required to safely run a healthcare clinic. As a small independent family business, we have absorbed these increases for as long as possible, but in order to continue providing the level of service our patients expect, a small adjustment has now become necessary.

👉 From 1st April 2026Physiotherapy Consultation & Treatment will increase from £50 to £55.

Even with this change, our fees remain among the most competitive for a senior clinician with Ian’s level of experience, and we remain fully committed to offering thorough, patient-centred care in a calm and supportive environment.

We are truly grateful for the continued loyalty, kindness, and trust shown by our patients and our local community. Your support allows us to keep doing what we love — helping people move better, feel stronger, and live with less pain.

Thank you for supporting a local, independent clinic.

Precision in Aesthetic Medicine 🤍

Yesterday, Ian carried out a carefully planned combination treatment to address long-standing brow asymmetry and dynamic forehead lines.

The treatment involved:
• Anti-wrinkle injections to the forehead to relax targeted muscle activity
• A PCL eye thread to subtly elevate and support the eyebrow position

This client had lived with a noticeable asymmetry for many years, with one eyebrow sitting lower than the other. By combining neuromodulation with structural support, we were able to carefully realign the brows, restoring balance and symmetry while maintaining natural facial expression.

Over the coming 7–14 days, the anti-wrinkle injections will continue to take full effect, smoothing fine lines and enhancing the overall result, while the PCL thread provides longer-term support and collagen stimulation.

At Mariko Clinic, every treatment plan is bespoke — guided by facial anatomy, proportion, and clinical precision — with the aim of achieving natural, refined outcomes.
