See The Transformation: Why Shirley Ballas & Linda Lusardi Are Choosing NeoGen Over Surgery

When high-profile faces credit a treatment for looking fresher on camera, people take notice. In the last year, Shirley Ballas and Linda Lusardi have openly discussed their results with NeoGen™ Plasma, a non-surgical skin regeneration treatment now available in Bromley with Jude Dunican, Independent Nurse Prescriber. If you’re curious about how celebrities achieve tighter jawlines, brighter tones, and smoother textures without surgery, this guide explains the technology, the journey, and how Jude builds a plan around your schedule.

 

Why Celebrities Are Choosing NeoGen Right Now

NeoGen uses controlled nitrogen plasma energy to uniformly heat targeted layers of the skin, triggering a cascade that encourages fresh collagen and elastin. Because the entire skin surface can be treated evenly (rather than dots or needles), improvements often appear “everywhere you notice them” at once, jawline definition, neck smoothness, finer pores, fewer visible sun marks, and a clearer, more even tone.

The settings are adjustable, so schedules can accommodate lighter, social-schedule-friendly refreshes or more intensive sessions with a slightly longer recovery. That flexibility is a big reason busy presenters and performers are talking about it.

 

Shirley Ballas: Lift, Clarity and Confidence, Without Surgery

As Strictly Come Dancing’s Head Judge, Shirley’s skin is scrutinised in HD every season. She’s discussed taking a course-based, lower-energy approach, spaced sessions that fit around rehearsals and filming, rather than the significantly longer downtime that comes with surgery or higher-energy treatments.

The results she highlights mirror what NeoGen is designed to achieve: a sharper jawline and tighter neck, brighter overall tone, fewer sun marks and visible vessels, and make-up that sits more smoothly. She’s also emphasised the confidence boost that comes with looking fresher on set. For patients who need to look presentable between sessions, this graduated protocol is often the sweet spot.

 

What that means for you at Jude Dunican Aesthetics

Jude can map a stepped plan of light-to-moderate sessions (often 4–6 weeks apart) to steadily refine texture and tone while lifting the lower face. If you’ve got a clearer window, say, after a holiday, she can dial up intensity for a more dramatic single appointment. You’ll leave your consultation with concrete milestones: when to expect the early “polish,” when collagen-driven firmness tends to show, and how to time sessions around work or events.

 

Linda Lusardi: Natural-looking Lift and Renewed Glow

Former model and presenter Linda Lusardi has described feeling “tired and saggy” before starting NeoGen. After a series of treatments, she reported a tighter lower face and neck, a healthier luminosity, and the kind of natural radiance that reads beautifully on (and off) camera.

Her experience underscores NeoGen’s appeal: total improvement in tone, texture, & tightening, without looking “overdone.” In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Linda said:
“I could see my jawline softening and I was getting more lines around my eyes and it was just a bit depressing really, and I just thought I needed to get something to make my skin look fresher and brighter.”

“I had these NeoGen treatments as a bit of a treat for myself because I was coming up to my 66th birthday.”

“I didn’t realise quite how bad I was just six months ago. It’s incredible my whole face feels lifted and tightened, my skin has more plumpness to it, it’s just got a better complexion completely. I feel it’s taken years off me and several people have commented saying “how old are you?” and they just don’t believe I’m 66.”

What that means for you

If your goal is to look unmistakably refreshed, rather than obviously “treated”, Jude can plan a low-intensity, multi-session programme that builds results layer by layer. Most people notice early clarity and smoother make-up within weeks, followed by more visible tightening from weeks 4–12 as collagen matures. Jude can also schedule maintenance “polish” appointments a few times a year to keep you at your best.

 

How does NeoGen Plasma Skin Tightening work?

The device converts nitrogen gas into plasma and delivers it in controlled pulses. This creates a predictable thermal cascade through the skin, sparing the surface at the moment of treatment while stimulating deeper remodelling. Because it treats uniformly, you don’t see the dot-pattern grids associated with some fractional lasers or needling devices, and delicate areas, including the eyelids, can be approached with appropriate settings.

What skin concerns can NeoGen address?

NeoGen is a strong consideration if you’re noticing early-to-moderate laxity (softening at the jawline or under-eye crêpiness), sun damage and uneven pigmentation, fine lines, texture irregularity and visible pores, or superficial acne scarring. It’s suitable across face and selected body areas, with Jude adjusting energy, number of passes and spacing according to your skin and calendar.

 

Understanding Your skin Journey with Jude Dunican

Consultation & planning: You’ll discuss goals, medical history, recent sun exposure and current skincare. Jude photographs baseline views and proposes a plan—often 3–6 lighter sessions for a diary-friendly refresh, or fewer higher-intensity appointments if you can allow more downtime.
Treatment day: Skin is cleansed; numbing may be used depending on energy. A handheld device delivers even passes of plasma energy. Most describe warmth and a prickly sensation; eyes are carefully protected for peri-orbital work.
After treatment: Expect transient redness and warmth, evolving into a gentle bronzing and a fine, sandpapery feel as the outer cells lift. Social downtime depends on settings; many patients resume normal tasks quickly after lighter sessions.
The weeks ahead: Radiance and smoother texture show first. Firming becomes more noticeable between weeks 4–12 as collagen remodels, then consolidates. Jude typically checks in at 2–4 weeks (depending on intensity) to review progress and fine-tune next steps.

 

Downtime, aftercare and timing around events

Immediately post-treatment, think soothe and protect: bland moisturisers, diligent SPF, and no active acids/retinoids until Jude gives the green light. Make-up return depends on your energy level; many light protocols allow it fairly quickly. If you’re planning for a wedding, reunion or filming date, Jude will back-plan your schedule so your “peak glow” aligns with the event, building in buffer time for flaking to finish and brightness to pop.

 

Results, longevity and maintenance

NeoGen triggers your own regenerative processes, so results look authentic and tend to be durable. Texture and clarity are easier to maintain with sunscreen and skin-barrier-friendly skincare; tightening can be preserved with occasional maintenance sessions. If pigmentation is a priority, Jude can integrate pigment-focused skincare or adjunct in-clinic options at the right point in your healing cycle. For hydration-driven radiance, skin boosters can be sequenced to complement, rather than compete with, NeoGen recovery.

 

Is NeoGen right for you?

Most healthy adults with photoageing, mild-to-moderate laxity or texture concerns are candidates. Recent sunburn, active infection, certain medications and unmanaged medical conditions may delay treatment. During your consultation, Jude will outline suitability, set realistic expectations and provide a transparent plan covering session count, spacing, recovery and costs.
