I am so excited to officially launch JULAINE™ – the next generation of collagen stimulation – into my clinic on the Wirral. The response from my patients has been incredible, and I am proud to be the exclusive provider of this advanced treatment on the Wirral, and one of very few clinics offering it across the Northwest. This is a treatment for patients who want to truly invest in their long-term skin health. It is not a quick fix or a short-term boost, but a meaningful improvement in skin quality that continues to build and get better over time.
JULAINE™ represents a significant step forward in collagen-stimulating technology. It is far more advanced, refined and safety-led than older generation treatments and it also fulfils a need for my patients for improved collagen stimulation, naturally – which is just what my patients have been asking for. Another key reason I have chosen JULAINE™ is the ethos of the company behind it. They are deeply focused on science, evidence and clinical research, and on backing up their claims properly. I do not choose treatments lightly: anything I offer in clinic must be evidence-led, safety-focused, and fully aligned with my principles as a doctor, and JULAINE™ meets those standards. Honestly, this is the most excited I have been about a skin treatment in a very long time. It fills a gap I have been searching for, and it aligns perfectly with my philosophy of subtle, progressive, doctor-led aesthetic care. The regenerative potential of this treatment is phenomenal, and the results other clinics have been getting are really wonderful.
Results develop gradually, in line with neocollagenesis, the natural process of forming new collagen within the skin. JULAINE™ works by gently triggering the body’s own healing response, stimulating fibroblasts in the dermis to produce new collagen and elastin. Most patients notice improvements in skin quality after the second treatment, which usually takes place four to six weeks after the first. From this point onwards, improvements continue to build steadily over many months as new collagen forms. Around twelve weeks after the first treatment is an important milestone, as the newly formed collagen has matured sufficiently to create visible improvements in skin firmness, elasticity and softening of fine lines. The full results, following a complete course of three treatments, can last for up to two years. For most patients, only a single maintenance treatment is required every eighteen months to two years to maintain results. This is a luxury investment in your long-term skin health.
JULAINE™ is also particularly well suited to patients who have experienced significant weight loss, including those who have used medical weight loss injections. Weight loss can sometimes lead to a reduction in facial volume, which may leave the skin appearing looser or less supported. By stimulating your own collagen production, JULAINE™ helps to gently and naturally restore structure and support over time. The aim is not to change how you look, but to ensure the face continues to look healthy, balanced and well supported as your weight stabilises, rather than appearing hollow or drawn, a change often highlighted in the media as “Ozempic face”.
I am pleased to report that the procedure itself is very quick, with minimal discomfort. Most patients are able to return to normal activities almost immediately, making it easy to fit around busy lives. Karen, who kindly acted as a model for me during recent training, described the treatment as “perfectly comfortable. I did not feel the product going in, just a little bit of poking and prodding, but it definitely did not hurt.” This was particularly reassuring to hear, as Karen is new to aesthetic treatments and chose to be a model because she felt it was time to invest in herself, while still wanting results that looked natural and never obvious.
Immediately after treatment, Karen had no redness or bruising. In all honesty, no one would have known she had just had a procedure. She noticed a small amount of swelling later that evening, which is entirely normal and expected as we are stimulating the body’s own healing and collagen response. When I saw her again four days later, her skin already looked glowing and beautifully radiant.
