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 rece

ive 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.

Summer can be a brilliant time of year, but your skin often experiences it differently - from changes in oil production and hydration to increased sensitivity, redness or dullness.

At Skin Excellence, this is something we see every day across our Plymouth and Wells clinics. As a medical-led team of doctors and nurse prescriber specialists, our focus isn’t on overhauling routines or doing more for the sake of it - but on understanding what’s happening within the skin and why.

That clinical assessment is what sets our approach apart. It allows us to recommend support that is appropriate for the individual, whether that’s skincare guidance, prevention strategies such as SPF, or regenerative treatments like Dermalux LED, Profhilo® and Sunekos.

If you’d like to understand more about how to support your skin during the summer months, you can read the full blog on our website.

Cryotherapy is a quick, precise treatment that uses extreme cold to safely remove unwanted skin lesions such as skin tags, age spots and small blemishes.

It works by freezing the targeted tissue, allowing it to naturally break down and heal away, leaving clearer, more even-looking skin over time.

A simple, effective option with minimal downtime and a very targeted approach.

For us at Skin Excellence Clinics, aesthetic treatments are never just about appearance.

While many people think of them in terms of cosmetic improvement, they can also play an important role in supporting conditions such as scarring, acne, rosacea, excessive sweating, hair loss and skin lesions - all of which can have a real impact on confidence and wellbeing.

Every treatment is guided by a clinical assessment, with a focus on what’s right for each individual patient.

Final day at the Nordberg Train the Trainers workshop in Germany today . After a fantastic gala evening last night, (unfortunately it rained on boat trip to get to the venue),today,we had to wear red noses, make fun of ourselves and learn to be better presenters and teachers .. well it all comes down to communication skills. I’m still learning!
It has been a very positive experience sharing with my fellow European Julaine trainers.

Watch as Dr Ian Strawford undergoes his PRP scalp treatment, carried out by Shannon, who is a Nurse Prescriber with us.

The treatment is a regenerative approach designed to support hair health by stimulating the body’s natural growth factors. It’s a recommended treatment both pre and post hair transplant.

We also use PRP with patients looking to improve hair density and scalp condition over time.

Exceptional patient care has been at the heart of everything we do since Dr Ian Strawford began practising in medical aesthetics over 20 years ago.

Every consultation is unhurried and completely tailored to you - giving you time to understand your options before deciding what feels right. Sometimes that may mean no treatment at all.

Alongside aesthetic concerns, we also support a range of skin and medical conditions including acne, rosacea, scarring, hair loss and excessive sweating - always with a focus on safety, trust and long-term skin health.
