Uneven skin tone is one of the most common concerns we treat at The London Road Clinic. Pigmentation from sun exposure, persistent facial redness, rosacea flare-ups and post-acne marks can make skin look older, inflamed or dull, even when it’s otherwise healthy. Lumecca IPL is designed to address these concerns precisely, safely and with minimal downtime. Lumecca is an advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photofacial developed by InMode. Compared with traditional IPL systems, it delivers higher peak power across optimised wavelengths, allowing it to target pigment and redness more effectively and often in fewer sessions. This makes Lumecca a popular choice for clients looking to improve skin clarity without the recovery time associated with more aggressive treatments. Lumecca IPL photofacial at a glance Best for:  pigmentation, sun spots, rosacea redness, thread veins, post-acne marks Treatment time:  around 20–30 minutes for full face Downtime:  usually mild redness for a few hours Results:  pigment darkens then lifts over 7–10 days, redness settles over 1–2 weeks Course:  typically 2–3 sessions, spaced around 4 weeks apart How Lumecca IPL works for pigmentation and rosacea Lumecca IPL works by delivering high-intensity light energy into the skin, where it is selectively absorbed by colour. Brown pigment from sun damage or post-acne marks absorbs the light and breaks down into tiny particles, which the body clears naturally over time. Redness and broken capillaries absorb the light differently, causing small blood vessels to heat, collapse and gradually fade. Because the energy is targeted at pigment and haemoglobin, surrounding skin is largely unaffected. This precision allows visible improvement in skin tone while keeping downtime low. Over the weeks following treatment, skin typically appears clearer, brighter and more even. How does Lumecca IPL treat pigmentation and sun damage in Newark Sun-induced pigmentation such as sun spots, freckles and uneven tone is one of the most common reasons clients choose Lumecca IPL. These concerns often develop gradually and don’t respond well to topical skincare alone. After treatment, pigmented areas may temporarily darken before lifting and flaking away within around a week. This is a normal part of the process and indicates that the pigment has been successfully targeted. Many clients notice visible improvement after a single session, although a short course is usually recommended for more extensive or long-standing pigmentation. Lumecca for rosacea and facial redness Persistent redness, flushing and facial thread veins are common features of rosacea. While rosacea cannot be cured, Lumecca IPL can significantly reduce visible redness and broken capillaries, helping skin look calmer and more balanced. Clients often notice an improvement within one to two weeks, with results building across a course of treatments. For many, this means less reliance on heavy makeup and greater confidence in their natural skin. Maintenance treatments may be recommended over time, depending on individual skin behaviour. Lumecca for post-acne marks and uneven tone Even after acne has settled, red or brown marks can linger for months or longer. Lumecca IPL is particularly effective for these post-inflammatory marks because it targets both residual pigment and vascular redness. While it doesn’t replace treatments designed for deeper acne scarring, it can significantly improve overall tone and clarity as part of a broader skin plan. What to expect from treatment and recovery Lumecca IPL treatments are generally well tolerated. Most clients describe a brief warm or snapping sensation during treatment. Mild redness is common immediately afterwards but usually settles within a few hours. Pigmented areas may appear darker before lifting over several days. Downtime is minimal, and most people return to normal activities the same day or the following day. Aftercare focuses on gentle skincare, avoiding heat and sun exposure, and using high SPF daily as advised. A medically led, personalised approach At The London Road Clinic in Newark-on-Trent, Lumecca IPL treatments are carried out by our experienced medical aesthetics team following a full consultation and skin assessment. Patch testing is performed where appropriate, and treatment settings are tailored to your skin type, concerns and goals. Lumecca can also be combined with treatments such as Dermalux LED light therapy, HydroFacial or Forma radiofrequency to support skin health and enhance results. If Lumecca isn’t suitable, we’ll guide you towards alternative options. Clearer skin isn’t about perfection. It’s about addressing the concerns that affect your confidence, safely and intelligently. Clinician reviewed. Individual results vary and treatment suitability is confirmed during consultation. Lumecca IPL. Frequently asked questions How many Lumecca IPL sessions will I need? Most clients benefit from a course of two to three sessions, spaced around four weeks apart, depending on the severity of pigmentation or redness. Is Lumecca IPL effective for rosacea? Lumecca can significantly reduce visible redness and broken capillaries associated with rosacea, although the condition is chronic and may require maintenance treatments. What downtime should I expect after Lumecca? Downtime is minimal. Mild redness is common for a few hours, and pigmented areas may darken briefly before lifting over the following days. Can Lumecca help acne scars? Lumecca improves red or brown post-acne marks and uneven tone, but deeper pitted scars usually need collagen-stimulating treatments such as microneedling or radiofrequency. Is Lumecca IPL safe for all skin types? Lumecca is best suited to skin types I–III, with cautious use on type IV. Very dark skin, active tan, pregnancy, and certain medications may make IPL unsuitable. What should I avoid after Lumecca IPL? Avoid sun exposure, heat and active skincare for several days, and use high SPF daily as advised by your practitioner to protect results.

Thinking about smoothing out fine lines or restoring volume but not sure where to start? At The London Road Clinic in Newark, we’re often asked: Should I book dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections? Both treatments are popular choices in Newark and across Nottinghamshire. Here’s how to decide which is right for you. What Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections? Anti-wrinkle injections use a prescription-only muscle-relaxing medicine to temporarily relax specific facial muscles. This softens expression lines caused by repeated movements, such as smiling or frowning. Best For: Forehead wrinkles Crow’s feet (eye lines) Frown lines between the eyebrows Key Facts: Onset : 3–5 days Duration : 3–4 months Downtime : Minimal to none Treatment time : 15–20 minutes Anti-wrinkle injections are ideal for clients seeking a refreshed look without changing their natural expression. What Are Dermal Fillers? Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid—a substance naturally found in your skin. They restore volume, smooth deep lines, and add shape and structure to the face. Best For: Cheeks and jawline definition Lip enhancement Nasolabial folds and marionette lines Under-eye hollows Key Facts: Onset : Immediate Duration : 6–12 months (area dependent) Downtime : Some swelling/bruising possible Treatment time : 30–45 minutes Dermal fillers are great for those experiencing volume loss, or wanting contour without surgery. Fillers or Anti-Wrinkle: Which Should You Choose? Concern Best Treatment Forehead or frown lines Anti-wrinkle injections Cheek enhancement Dermal fillers Lip volume or definition Dermal fillers Crow’s feet Anti-wrinkle injections Softening smile lines Depends on skin & severity Preventing early signs of ageing Anti-wrinkle (preventative) Can You Combine Fillers and Anti-Wrinkle Injections? Yes - and many clients do. Using both together often gives the most balanced, natural-looking results. Anti-wrinkle injections smooth movement lines, while dermal fillers restore shape and volume. A combined approach may be recommended during your consultation.

Safe Aesthetic Injections in Newark: Face‑to‑Face Consultations Are Essential The UK aesthetics industry is undergoing a critical shift . From 2025, following a landmark decision by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), remote prescribing of anti-wrinkle prescription medications by nurses will be banned - face‑to‑face consultations will be mandatory before treatment. these Aesthetic Injections New Regulations reinforce the importance of medical oversight and accountability across the industry. These new Anti-Wrinkle Regulations reinforce the importance of medical oversight and accountability across the industry You can read more about this update on the British Beauty Council's website here . This aligns with broader regulatory reform aimed at improving patient safety and holding non‑medical practitioners to stricter standards. So What’s changing? Mandatory licensing for all providers of anti-wrinkle prescription medications.  Providers must prove specific qualifications, complete accredited training, and hold suitable indemnity insurance.  Stricter advertising rules - no before‑and‑after images targeted at under‑18s, and no misleading claims. Enhanced consent procedures, deeper medical history and risk‑assessment checks becoming standard practice. Why This Matters for Anti-Wrinkle Injectables & New Regulations Anti-Wrinkle injectables and dermal fillers are medical procedures that require precision and a deep understanding of facial anatomy. Here’s why the NMC ruling and wider regulation matter for you in Newark and Nottinghamshire: Better safety : An in‑person consultation allows the practitioner to assess allergies, medications, anatomical variations, and risk factors that might not be captured remotely. Tailored results : A face‑to‑face session means the clinician can assess your features, muscle movement, skin type and set realistic expectations. Trusted advice : You’ll receive in‑depth discussion about the treatment, alternatives, aftercare and what to do if problems arise - rather than a quick online form. At The London Road Clinic in Newark, this approach has always been part of our DNA. We don’t believe in shortcuts or online‑only consultations - because your health and results are too important. The Risks of Aesthetics Injections by Non‑Medically Qualified Practitioners At the heart of these changes is concern over the rising number of non‑medically trained individuals offering injectables. Treatments such as anti‑wrinkle injections and dermal fillers carry clinical risks including: Infection and poor hygiene standards Vascular occlusion (blockage of a blood vessel) leading to tissue damage or blindness Nerve damage or asymmetry Permanent scarring or unintended results When these procedures are performed in non‑clinical settings or by practitioners without adequate anatomy training, the risk of complications increases significantly.  Why Medical Professionals Provide Stronger Assurance Medical professionals - doctors, dentists and medically trained nurses - bring an essential layer of safety to injectable treatments: They are registered with statutory regulators such as the General Medical Council (GMC), General Dental Council (GDC), Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) or other recognised bodies. They have extensive training in anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and managing complications. They hold appropriate indemnity insurance covering injectable treatments and complications. They are required to maintain continuing professional development, clinical audit and revalidation. They work in clinical settings that meet hygiene, governance and risk‑management standards. The guidance from the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) emphasises that all prescribers of prescription‑only medicines in aesthetic settings must comply with legal and safe practice—especially avoiding remote prescribing without a face‑to‑face assessment.  Meet Our Medical Aesthetic Expert at The London Road Clinic, Newark Dr Shahe Boghossian , Medical Lead Our injectable clinics are led once weekly by Dr Boghossian, a highly regarded vascular surgeon with an exceptional medical background, including: Years performing complex liver transplant surgery with precise anatomical skill.

If you’ve ever searched for ways to refresh your skin, soften fine lines, or simply look as healthy as you feel, you’ve probably come across the word aesthetics. But what does it actually mean — and how does it differ from beauty or traditional skincare? The Definition of Aesthetics in Healthcare In medicine, aesthetics and aesthetics medicine refers to non-surgical treatments designed to enhance appearance, restore skin health, and support confidence . Unlike cosmetic surgery, aesthetic medicine focuses on minimally invasive procedures performed by trained professionals in a clinical setting. Think of it as the bridge between everyday skincare and surgery — advanced treatments that go deeper than creams, but without the downtime of an operation. Clinical + clean aesthetic treatments deliver oustanding results for your skin What Do Aesthetic Treatments Include? Aesthetic medicine covers a wide range of treatments that improve skin quality, shape, and overall appearance. At The London Road Clinic, our most popular include: Injectable aesthetics – such as anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers for structure and smoothing. Skin health treatments – professional aesthetic facials, chemical skin peels, microneedling, and LED therapy that target acne, pigmentation, or focus on anti-ageing. Body contouring – non-surgical fat reduction and skin tightening technologies. Women’s health aesthetics – advanced treatments supporting wellness including incontinence recovery during perimenopause and beyond. Every treatment is evidence-backed, doctor-led, and personalised — because no two skin journeys are the same. Why Choose Aesthetics Over Beauty Treatments? While a spa facial feels relaxing, non-surgical aesthetic treatments are medical-grade, clinically proven, and designed for lasting change . The difference is science and regulation. Medical oversight – treatments are performed by doctors, nurses, or advanced practitioners. Regulated and accredited – clinics like ours are Save Face and JCCP registered, meaning your safety comes first. Visible results – aesthetics isn’t about chasing trends or perfection; it’s about real skin, real confidence. The Benefits of Aesthetic Treatments Improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. Smooth lines and restore youthful structure. Treat common concerns like acne, pigmentation, or scarring. Boost hydration, glow, and resilience. Support overall confidence and wellbeing. Who Are Aesthetics For? Aesthetics isn’t only about looking younger. It’s about looking like the best version of yourself at every stage of life.

A growing trend in aesthetic medicine, prejuvenation  is all about taking proactive steps to maintain youthful skin before the signs of aging set in. Unlike traditional rejuvenation, which focuses on reversing damage, prejuvenation aims to prevent  wrinkles, fine lines, and other age-related changes from developing in the first place. At The London Road Clinic in Newark, Nottinghamshire, we offer a range of prejuvenation treatments to help you maintain a fresh, youthful look for years to come. What is Prejuvenation? Prejuvenation focuses on early skin care and cosmetic treatments that slow down the aging process. Starting in your 20s or 30s, these treatments can help you maintain collagen levels, reduce fine lines, and prevent damage caused by environmental factors like sun exposure. Collagen, a protein that keeps your skin firm and elastic, starts to decline as early as your mid-20s . Prejuvenation treatments work to maintain collagen production and protect your skin from the wear and tear of daily life. Popular Prejuvenation Treatments Here at The London Road Clinic, we offer a variety of non-invasive treatments to support prejuvenation, including: • Anti-Wrinkle Injections : Small doses of prescription-only muscle-relaxing medicine can prevent dynamic wrinkles (those caused by facial expressions) from forming in areas like the forehead and around the eyes . • Dermal Fillers : These help maintain youthful fullness in the face by replacing lost volume and stimulating collagen production. • Chemical Peels : These remove dead skin cells and encourage new cell growth, helping your skin stay fresh and glowing. • Microneedling : This treatment boosts collagen production by creating tiny, controlled injuries in the skin. • Skin Peels : This treatment deeply exfoliates the skin to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles, acne, pigmentation and uneven skin tone. Why Start Early? Starting aesthetic treatments early allows you to avoid more invasive procedures later on. By maintaining your skin’s health and appearance in your 20s and 30s, you can prevent the deeper wrinkles and sagging that require more significant interventions. The goal is to age gracefully —looking natural and youthful as you grow older. Achieve Long-Lasting Results Prejuvenation not only offers short-term cosmetic benefits but also promotes long-term skin health. By keeping your skin hydrated, protected, and stimulated, you set yourself up for a healthier aging process that involves fewer corrections down the road.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to signal repair. When prepared and delivered correctly, it can improve skin quality and support early hair thinning with low downtime. We offer PRP at The London Road Clinic, with protocols supported by evidence and overseen by Aesthetic & Plastic Surgeon Dr Shahe Boghossian . A brief history PRP has been used in medicine since the late 20th century to aid healing in surgery, dentistry, and sports injuries. As the technique matured, clinicians began applying it in aesthetics to stimulate collagen and improve tissue quality. The appeal is simple: you’re using an autologous resource - your own platelets - rather than adding synthetic volume. What PRP is and how it’s prepared PRP is a concentrated layer of your own platelets suspended in plasma. A small blood sample is taken in clinic. It is spun in a clinical centrifuge . Spinning separates the sample into layers; the clinician draws off the platelet-rich layer—the part with the highest concentration of growth factors. The PRP is injected or microneedled into the target area (skin or scalp) to deliver those signals where they are needed. Because the material is autologous, allergy risk is low. Technique, platelet yield, and aftercare all influence results. Procedure components at a glance Consultation: goals, suitability, medical history, photos for tracking. Preparation: blood draw and centrifuge processing to isolate PRP. Delivery: Skin: microinjections and/or microneedling across the face, under-eyes, neck, or scars. Hair: small injections across thinning zones on the scalp. Aftercare: SPF, gentle skincare, avoid heavy heat/exercise for 24–48 hours. Typical courses use three sessions, 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance every 6–12 months. Hair plans often start with 3–4 monthly sessions, then maintenance 3–6 monthly. Target outcomes Skin: healthier-looking glow, improved texture and fine lines, better under-eye quality, and general “bounce” as collagen and elastin are supported. Hair: help for early androgenetic thinning by supporting follicle function and hair shaft calibre; the aim is density preservation and thicker strands rather than sudden regrowth. Expect early glow within weeks. Collagen changes mature over 2–3 months. Hair responses vary; realistic, course-based planning matters. How PRP for skin compares to similar options Each option has a job. Many patients combine treatments over time. PRP: uses your biology to signal repair. Good for gradual, natural improvement in skin quality and as an adjunct in early hair thinning. PRF/iPRF: closely related to PRP but forms a fibrin matrix that may extend growth-factor release. Often chosen for delicate areas. Hyaluronic acid (HA) skin boosters: immediate hydration and smoothness; great for “dewy” skin but not a collagen signal in the same way. Polynucleotides: injectable biostimulators that support tissue repair and elasticity; pair well with PRP for quality-focused plans. Microneedling alone: mechanical collagen induction; PRP can enhance it by adding a biochemical signal. Energy devices (e.g., RF microneedling/skin tightening): target laxity and texture at deeper levels; often scheduled in a different month from PRP for comfort and clarity of results. We’ll help you choose based on goals, timeline, and tolerance for downtime. Treatment for skin vs hair Skin protocol Targets: face, under-eyes, neck, acne scars, crepey texture. Feel: mild sting; optional topical anaesthetic. Downtime: redness 1–3 days; make-up usually from day one or two. Course: 3 sessions 4–6 weeks apart; review at 12 weeks; maintenance 6–12 monthly. Hair protocol Targets: early thinning (men and women) where follicles are present. Feel: brief pinpricks across the scalp; sensitive areas first. Downtime: scalp tenderness 24–48 hours. Course: 3–4 monthly sessions, then maintenance; align with a holistic hair plan where appropriate. Who it’s for—and who should pause Good candidates are healthy adults seeking gradual improvement without added “filler” volume. PRP isn’t suitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active skin infections, platelet/blood disorders, or significant anticoagulation. Autoimmune conditions require clinician review. We set realistic expectations and measure progress with photos and timelines. Why PRP at The London Road Clinic Nature’s skin booster, supported by science: we standardise protocols and photography so you can see incremental change. Doctor-led oversight: treatment plans are designed and reviewed with Dr Shahe Boghossian , whose surgical background supports safe escalation, combination planning, and complication pathways. Calm, clear experience: consultation in Newark-on-Trent, practical aftercare, and a plan that respects your diary. Quick glossary Platelets: blood fragments that help clotting and release growth factors which signal repair. Fibroblasts: cells in the dermis that make structural proteins like collagen and elastin. Collagen: the skin’s main structural protein; supports firmness and resilience. Elastin: fibres that allow skin to stretch and spring back. Centrifuge: a medical device that spins blood at high speed to separate layers; “spun” means this separation step created the platelet-rich plasma used in treatment. Autologous resource: material taken from your own body (e.g., your platelets/plasma), which lowers allergy and rejection risk. Book your PRP Consultation here

Summary Considering gynaecomastia (gynecomastia) surgery in the East Midlands? The London Road Clinic in Newark-on-Trent supports men from Nottingham, Lincoln, Grantham, Mansfield and Southwell with private, clinician-led care. Consultations take place at our Newark clinic on London Road, and surgery is performed by Aesthetic & Plastic Surgeon Dr Shahe Boghossian at his theatre in St Albans. If training hasn’t shifted chest fullness, this guide covers candidacy, procedure options and recovery—and how to book a calm, confidential consultation close to home. What is Gynecomastia Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue. It can present as a rounded or fuller chest that feels out of step with the rest of your physique. Causes include hormonal shifts (puberty, ageing), weight change, certain medications, genetics, or no clear cause at all. If it persists, surgery can remove excess gland and/or fat to create a flatter, better-balanced chest. Who might be a good candidate You may be a candidate if: Chest fullness persists despite stable weight and training. You can feel a firm disc behind the nipple (gland) or see a stubborn fatty mound. Clothing choices, swimming, or sport are limited by self-consciousness. A good pathway starts with assessment. We review history, medications, and examine the chest to distinguish gland from fat and rule out reversible causes. Suitability markers include stable weight, realistic goals, no untreated endocrine issue or suspicious breast lump, and willingness to follow pre-/post-op guidance. Non-smokers tend to heal more predictably; we’ll advise on stop-smoking timelines if needed. NHS access: why many men go private for Gynecomastia Surgery Access to male breast reduction on the NHS is limited and criteria are strict. Local policies often prioritise severe cases with documented functional or psychological impact, which can mean long waits or ineligibility for many. If persistent symptoms affect day-to-day life, a private route offers clearer timelines, named-surgeon continuity, and tailored planning. Dr Shahe’s approach We partner with Dr Shahe Boghossian , an Aesthetic & Plastic Surgeon known for proportion-led chest reshaping. His method is conservative where possible and precise where required: liposuction to contour fat, direct excision for firm gland, and a combination when both tissues are present. The aim is a natural, athletic contour—not an over-flattened look. Your pathway: consultations happen in the comfort of our Newark clinic. If surgery is appropriate, procedures are carried out with Dr Shahe at his theatre in St Albans . This gives you local access for planning and review, with a dedicated surgical setting for the operation. What to expect from surgery and recovery The operation Most cases are day-case. Technique depends on your tissue pattern: Liposuction removes fat through small, discreet incisions. Excision removes firm gland directly, often at the areolar edge. Combination achieves the smoothest contour for mixed cases. We’ll discuss anaesthesia, scars, and whether drains are likely based on your examination. Recovery Compression garment: typically worn for 3–6 weeks to reduce swelling and help the new shape settle. Early days: bruising, swelling, and tightness are common. Simple analgesia usually suffices. Back to work: many return to desk roles in about a week; manual work takes longer. Training: gradual re-introduction over weeks, avoiding chest loading until cleared. Results: early flattening is visible within weeks; definition refines across 3–6 months as tissues settle. Risks to discuss Bruising, swelling, temporary numbness or sensitivity change, contour irregularity, asymmetry, delayed healing, and rare infection or bleeding. A personalised consent discussion sets expectations and answers questions specific to your health and goals. Mental wellbeing matters too For some, the most significant change isn’t just physical. Men often describe relief when wearing fitted shirts again or feeling comfortable at the pool. If chest appearance has been a source of avoidance or low mood, we’ll talk openly about expectations and timing so the plan supports both confidence and recovery. Costs and timing You’ll receive a clear, written quote after consultation, including surgeon, anaesthesia, facility, aftercare, and garment. We’ll map a realistic timeframe around your diary—work, travel, and training—so recovery is paced and predictable. Your next step with LRC If you’re considering gynecomastia surgery, start with a calm consultation in Newark. We’ll examine, explain options, and design a plan. When surgery is right, your procedure is scheduled with Dr Shahe in St Albans. Most men want a chest that looks like the rest of them—proportionate, flatter, and easier to live with. That’s our focus, one step at a time.

In the last year, the UK has seen a surge in the popularity of prescription weight loss drugs like Mounjaro and Wegovy. For those facing medical weight management challenges, these medications can be genuinely life-changing. They offer a clinically proven way to address obesity-related health risks — and for that, they have an important place in modern medicine. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: if your goal is more about sculpting, toning, and refining your shape — these drugs may not be the most effective or cost-efficient route. Why? Weight loss drugs are systemic. They impact your whole body, reducing overall weight. That can be fantastic for health reasons — but they won’t tell the difference between fat you’d happily lose from your waist and the curves you’d rather keep. At The London Road Clinic, treatments like InShape and LipoContrast are designed with a different goal: precision . InShape works deep into targeted muscle groups — bum, tum, legs, or arms — performing the equivalent of 30,000 muscle contractions in a single 30-minute session. The result? Increased tone, lift, and firmness exactly where you want it. LipoContrast takes aim at stubborn fat pockets your body refuses to budge, even with diet and exercise. It selectively destroys fat cells in those areas, leaving surrounding tissues untouched. Co-Existence, Not Competition with Weight Loss Drugs This isn’t an either-or conversation. If you have medical reasons to lose significant weight, prescription drugs can and should be part of your journey. But once you’ve reached a healthier weight — or if you’re already there — it makes sense to shift your focus to shaping and defining, rather than simply shrinking. That’s where targeted body treatments excel. They give you control over where change happens, which no pill or injection can do. The Elephant in the Room – Pricing In August alone, the price of non-NHS prescribed weight loss drugs has jumped by up to 200% . And as consumers, we have zero influence over this. It’s hard not to ask uncomfortable questions: are manufacturers raising prices because they can? Once patients have experienced dramatic results, the pressure to keep going is enormous. Stop, and the weight often creeps back — meaning many users feel “locked in” to a lifelong expense. With in-clinic treatments, you pay per session or package, and you’re not committing to an indefinite pharmaceutical dependency. The cost is transparent. The results are localised and measurable. And you decide when you’ve achieved your goal. Bottom Line If your GP says you need medical weight loss support, listen — your health comes first. But if you’re already healthy and your focus is to sculpt your shape, lift specific areas, or smooth stubborn bulges, our evidence-based treatments may be the smarter, more targeted choice. Body confidence isn’t one-size-fits-all. The right approach depends on your goals, your health, and your budget — not on the latest media frenzy.

In the ever-evolving landscape of skincare and aesthetics, regenerative medicine is at the forefront, revolutionizing the way we approach beauty and skin health. At The London Road Clinic, we are excited to offer advanced treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), exosomes, and stem cells, which are gaining popularity for their remarkable benefits in rejuvenating the skin. The Power of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Regenerative medicine harnesses the body's innate healing powers to promote tissue repair and rejuvenation. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, for instance, involves extracting a small amount of the client’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting it back into the skin. This process stimulates collagen production, enhances skin texture, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. PRP is particularly favored for its natural results, as it utilizes the body’s own components to achieve rejuvenation. Unlocking Potential with Exosomes Exosomes, tiny vesicles secreted by stem cells, are another cutting-edge development in regenerative medicine. They play a crucial role in cell communication and can enhance the skin’s healing processes. When applied to the skin, exosomes can promote cell regeneration, improve skin elasticity, and accelerate the healing of damaged tissues. This non-invasive approach has shown promising results in reducing pigmentation, improving skin tone, and providing a youthful glow. The Promise of Stem Cell Therapies Stem cell therapies are also making waves in the aesthetics world. By utilizing stem cells to stimulate the body’s regenerative capabilities, we can achieve long-lasting improvements in skin health. These treatments can help repair sun damage, reduce scarring, and enhance overall skin vitality. Why Choose Regenerative Treatments at The London Road Clinic?
