The Strictly Skin Secret: Shirley Ballas Reveals Her NeoGen Results
As Strictly Come Dancing returns to our screens, Head Judge Shirley Ballas has been making headlines for more than her expert scores and glamorous looks.
At 66, Shirley has revealed the results of her latest NeoGen Plasma skin rejuvenation journey, saying she is happier than ever with her skin as she heads into another series of Strictly.
And here at Aspire Clinic, we’re particularly excited to see NeoGen in the spotlight again — because another familiar face from the Strictly family, Debbie McGee, has experienced her own incredible NeoGen transformation right here in our Reading clinic with our Clinic Director, Jenny O’Neill.

Shirley Ballas: Getting Strictly-Ready with NeoGen
Ahead of the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing, Shirley underwent a course of six NeoGen nitrogen plasma treatments, including higher-energy treatments designed to deliver more intensive skin rejuvenation.
Shirley has previously spoken about concerns including lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, skin laxity and changes around her jawline and jowls. Following her latest NeoGen course, she has spoken publicly about how pleased she is with the improvement in her skin.
Her higher-energy treatment programme did involve more downtime than her previous lower-energy treatments, with Shirley describing shedding and around 10 days of recovery following her stronger sessions.
But for Shirley, the results have been worth it.
The transformation demonstrates something we love about NeoGen: treatment can be tailored to the individual. Lower-energy treatments can offer progressive rejuvenation with less downtime, while higher-energy protocols can be used when more intensive skin remodelling is appropriate.

So, What Is NeoGen?
NeoGen is a nitrogen plasma skin regeneration treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural repair and renewal processes.
The technology converts medical-grade nitrogen gas into controlled plasma energy, delivering thermal energy into the skin and stimulating the production and remodelling of collagen and elastin.
Rather than simply focusing on one concern, NeoGen can be used to improve several signs of ageing and skin damage, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity
- Pigmentation and sun damage
- Uneven skin tone
- Texture
- Enlarged pores
- Acne scarring
- Overall skin quality and firmness
One of the reasons we love NeoGen at Aspire is that results are progressive. The treatment stimulates processes within your own skin, so improvements can continue to develop in the months following treatment.
From Shirley Ballas to Debbie McGee…
Shirley isn’t the only member of the Strictly family talking about NeoGen.
Former Strictly finalist Debbie McGee has undergone her own NeoGen skin journey — and we’re incredibly proud that Debbie chose Aspire Clinic and our Clinic Director Jenny O’Neill for her treatments.
Debbie’s results have attracted national attention, with her NeoGen journey appearing in publications including Woman & Home, Good Housekeeping, The Sun, Daily Mail and The Mirror.
Debbie initially wanted to address pigmentation and age spots that she had spent years covering with makeup. But as her NeoGen journey progressed, she noticed improvements beyond pigmentation.
Her skin became clearer, smoother and more even, while she also noticed improvements in fine lines, skin texture and the appearance of her jawline.
Most importantly, the results still looked like Debbie.
There was no dramatic change to her features — simply fresher, healthier-looking skin.
Natural-Looking Rejuvenation
Shirley and Debbie’s experiences highlight why regenerative treatments such as NeoGen are becoming such an exciting option for patients who want to improve their skin without necessarily changing their appearance.
NeoGen isn’t about making you look like somebody else.
It’s about working with your own skin to encourage regeneration, improve its quality and create a firmer, smoother, brighter and healthier-looking complexion.
And because treatment intensity can be adjusted, your NeoGen journey can be personalised according to your skin, concerns, lifestyle and tolerance for downtime.
Debbie’s NeoGen Journey at Aspire Clinic
Debbie’s treatment journey with Jenny has been particularly special for us at Aspire.
Her treatment plan focused on achieving natural, progressive rejuvenation, and we’ve been able to follow the changes in her skin over time.
Her before-and-after results demonstrate improvements in pigmentation, clarity, texture and overall skin quality — exactly the kind of results that make NeoGen such an exciting treatment to offer our patients.
And just like Shirley’s latest results, Debbie’s journey shows that achieving healthier, rejuvenated skin doesn’t have to mean looking over-treated or dramatically different.
