Happy New Year everyone, I hope you had a lovely break with your families, friends and loved ones and ready to tackle 2025.
As we start this new year with a sense of renewal and optimism about what lies ahead. It is also a chance to get those New Year’s resolutions down and look to ways to improve your health, relationships, professional life, or perhaps the balance of all three over the next 365 days. Whatever your focus for this year, the team at Skin Medical are ready to help you in your journey to looking and feeling fabulous. Now with that in mind, we have specific treatment we’d like to talk about that has us excited… Julaine.
I am always looking for the latest treatments which offer something different for patients. Recently we have been utilising Julaine at Skin Medical, Julaine is a new standard in bio-activation, the PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) is formed in tiny little microspheres that stimulates the skin on a persistent basis from the first treatment. It is this persistent but gradual benefits that our patients really love. Let me take you through some of the benefits of this treatment and the reasons why you should consider it when doing your research on potential collagen stimulation treatments.
Julaine’s PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) is made of tiny microspheres that work deep within the skin to stimulate collagen production over time. Julaine offers a host of benefits, making it a unique choice for those seeking a natural and effective approach to skin rejuvenation. It is from the collagen stimulator school of thought, where skin improvement and replacing lost volume are high on the agenda. However, it does this without adding lots of product to your face. Instead, it focuses on harnessing your bodies own collagen production to subtly lift the face over time, which will leave your friends and colleagues wondering what your secret? You look great!
This makes it perfect choice for those who want a natural enhancement that evolves over the weeks and months following treatment. So how does Julaine achieve this? From using the product in the last months, its most remarkable features is its ability to enhance skin quality by improving tone, texture, and firmness. This isn’t just a temporary fix either, Julaine works deep within the skin to stimulate your collagen production, resulting in a complexion that looks more radiant and refreshed over time.
For those seeking long-lasting results, Julaine doesn’t disappoint. While you may notice the initial benefits as early as 8 weeks after your treatment, these results continue to improve for several months. And with effects lasting up to 2 years, it’s an investment in your skin that provides incredible value. Julaine also stands out for its safety and comfort. Using PLLA microspheres, the treatment works in harmony with your body, breaking down into natural byproducts like CO₂ and water. This means you can trust that the procedure is not only effective but also safe. Plus, the treatment is quick and comfortable, taking around 20 minutes.

Julaine at Skin Medical, is a treatment for longevity, if you are looking for a quicker, more immediate result you may want to consider a traditional HA filler treatment, where you can still benefit from some collagen stimulation and skin improvement, whilst being able to contour and shape you features.
We love MaiLi for these types of treatment, it’s subtle but also powerful and provides great subtly natural results. Also, if you are looking to contour and volumise your body we were the first clinic in the UK to launch the incredible PLLA treatment Lanluma which you can learn more about here.
Unlike types of traditional fillers, Julaine doesn’t add volume, and instead of altering your facial contours, it aims to lift and tighten the skin, providing a naturally refined look. This unique approach is especially effective for patients who have lost a lot of their natural collagen through ageing, sun damage or an active lifestyle (Runners face) but don’t want to look ‘filled’.
Julaine uses PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) microspheres to stimulate your skin’s own collagen production over time. Rather than filling the skin immediately, it encourages gradual tightening, improving skin tone, texture and firmness.
You may notice improvements as early as a few weeks after treatment, with effects continuing to improve over several months. The results can last up to 2 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you maintain the skin afterward.
Julaine is considered safe when administered by a trained professional. It’s well tolerated and uses PLLA which naturally breaks down into CO₂ and water. Common mild side effects may include temporary swelling or redness. Serious risks are rare—but a complete consultation is essential to assess your suitability.
A typical Julaine treatment takes around 20 minutes. Some patients may be satisfied after one session, but more noticeable improvements often require a treatment plan over several months. Your Skin Medical doctor will advise how many sessions are ideal for your goals.
Julaine is versatile. It’s used for areas like cheeks, jawline, temples, around the mouth, neck, the décolleté, and even the backs of the hands, places where you want to improve firmness, tone, tightness and skin quality without adding volume.
Traditional fillers (like hyaluronic acid) add volume instantly. Julaine doesn’t add volume. Instead, it gradually improves the skin’s structure by stimulating collagen. So if you prefer a subtle, natural-looking result, avoiding the “over-filled” look, Julaine can be a great option.
Julaine is a good choice for anyone seeking subtle lifting, improved skin quality, or prevention of further ageing, especially if they want natural results. But it might be unsuitable if you have certain medical conditions, active skin infections, or significant concerns where immediate contouring or volume is needed. In order to have a Julaine treatment, you will undergo a thorough consultation with Dr Sabika, so rest assured we will determine whether this is the correct treatment for your needs.
So if you are looking for a subtle lift to start 2025, the team and I at Skin Medical are here to support you and make 2025 your best year yet!
