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.

For many people, moles and skin tags are more than just cosmetic annoyances. They can be uncomfortable, catch on clothing, or cause embarrassment in everyday life.

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. Why Choose The London Road Clinic for Body Contouring? When it comes to reshaping your body, not all providers are equal. At The London Road Clinic, we combine medical expertise with advanced technology to deliver safe, precise, and effective results. We’ll never over-treat, push unnecessary add-ons, or compromise on your wellbeing. If you’re ready to explore InShape, LipoContrast, or other body treatments in Newark, your first step is a consultation with our team. We’ll discuss your goals, assess your options, and outline the results you can expect. Click [here] to arrange your consultation or call 01636 680 767 to secure your appointment.

Polynucleotides are a groundbreaking advancement in skin rejuvenation, providing a natural and effective way to enhance skin health and combat the signs of aging. At The London Road Clinic in Newark, Nottinghamshire, we offer polynucleotide-based treatments designed to boost skin regeneration, hydration, and overall vitality. What Are Polynucleotides? Polynucleotides are DNA fragments derived from natural sources that work to repair and regenerate the skin. When injected into the skin, these molecules stimulate cellular activity, boosting tissue repair and promoting collagen production. This natural process helps improve skin elasticity, hydration, and structure. The treatment is particularly beneficial for those looking to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity without undergoing invasive procedures  . Key Benefits of Polynucleotide Treatment 1. Skin Regeneration Polynucleotides act as powerful skin repair agents by stimulating fibroblast activity, which plays a crucial role in collagen production. This leads to improved skin structure and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 2. Deep Hydration Polynucleotides attract and retain water in the skin, significantly improving hydration levels. Well-hydrated skin appears plumper, more radiant, and youthful. This makes polynucleotide treatments an excellent option for individuals with dry or dehydrated skin . 3. Reduced Inflammation and Improved Skin Texture The treatment not only rejuvenates aging skin but also helps reduce inflammation and redness. By enhancing the skin’s healing processes, polynucleotides can improve the overall texture and smoothness of the skin. 4. Safe and Natural Polynucleotides are derived from natural sources, making them biocompatible with human tissue. This means there is minimal risk of adverse reactions, and the treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types. Who Can Benefit from Polynucleotide Treatments? Polynucleotide injections are suitable for anyone seeking non-invasive methods to improve skin tone, texture, and hydration. They are especially effective for individuals showing early signs of aging, such as fine lines, loss of firmness, or dull skin. Moreover, this treatment can be used on the face, neck, and décolletage to achieve a more comprehensive anti-aging effect  . Why Choose Polynucleotides at The London Road Clinic? At The London Road Clinic, our experienced professionals provide polynucleotide treatments tailored to your skin’s unique needs.

If you're dealing with incontinence or sexual health concerns, the BTL Emsella Chair offers a non-invasive solution that is both effective and easy to undergo. This revolutionary treatment is designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles through High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy, helping both men and women improve bladder control and sexual function.   Treating Incontinence for Men and Women Incontinence, whether it’s stress incontinence (leakage when sneezing or exercising) or urge incontinence (the sudden need to urinate), is a common issue that affects both men and women. The Emsella Chair works by stimulating thousands of supramaximal contractions in the pelvic floor muscles during each 30-minute session, strengthening this critical muscle group much more effectively than regular Kegel exercises.   For women, incontinence can be caused by childbirth or menopause, while men often face these issues due to aging or prostate surgery. The Emsella Chair helps regain bladder control by fortifying the muscles that support your pelvic organs. Many patients report noticeable improvements after just two or three sessions.   Sexual Health Benefits Beyond incontinence, Emsella also boosts sexual health. For women, a stronger pelvic floor can lead to enhanced sexual sensation and increased ability to achieve orgasms. Men, especially those who’ve experienced prostate issues, may notice improvements in erectile dysfunction and overall sexual function. The electromagnetic stimulation increases blood flow to the pelvic area and restores muscle tone, helping patients regain confidence in their intimate relationships.   Comfortable and Painless The treatment is entirely non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and allows you to remain fully clothed. Each session is pain-free, with some patients describing only a mild tingling sensation. There’s no downtime, meaning you can go about your daily activities immediately after a session [oai_citation:1,Emsella Chair | Enhance Pelvic Health Non-Surgically. Ready to Take Control? If you’re struggling with incontinence or want to improve your sexual health, the BTL Emsella Chair could be the perfect solution.
