Strictly Come Dancing’s head judge, Shirley Ballas, has spoken openly about the treatment behind her brighter, firmer complexion – and it isn’t surgery.
Instead, Shirley chose NeoGen nitrogen plasma skin regeneration, a clinically proven, non-surgical technology designed to regenerate the skin from within. Following a course of treatments with Dr Johanna Ward, Shirley noticed visible improvements in skin tone, firmness and jawline definition, without the downtime associated with more invasive procedures.
“My jawline feels sharper, my skin looks brighter and clearer — and the colour is much more even,” she shared with Women’s Health UK. “I feel rejuvenated, and I’m very happy with the journey.
Regenerative skin tightening – without breaking the skin
NeoGen uses advanced nitrogen plasma technology, converting nitrogen gas into controlled pulses of thermal plasma energy. When delivered to the skin, this energy stimulates a powerful, natural healing response — encouraging new collagen and elastin formation while keeping the skin’s surface intact.
Because NeoGen does not create an open wound, recovery is typically faster than with traditional ablative laser treatments, with a reduced risk of infection or pigmentary change. Over time, skin becomes firmer, smoother and more luminous, with results continuing to develop for months after treatment.
Treatments can be precisely tailored. Lower-energy protocols offer subtle, cumulative rejuvenation with minimal disruption to daily life, while higher-energy settings enable deeper dermal remodelling for patients seeking more transformative outcomes.
