What actually makes a difference as we age? We’re told to take collagen, invest in better skincare, eat differently, try supplements, have Botox, tighten our skin… and that’s before we’ve even ventured down the aesthetics rabbit hole.

So, for my Curious About Aesthetics? event this month, I want to look at ageing from both sides. I’ll be talking about what happens to our faces as we get older, why we see the changes we do and what aesthetic treatments can realistically achieve.

I’ll also be joined by Alice Mackintosh, Clinical Nutritionist and co-founder of award-winning supplement Equi London, to explore what we can do from the inside too. We’ll explore nutrition and supplements - including whether taking them is worthwhile - and try to make sense of an area where good evidence and very good marketing can be difficult to tell apart.

This isn’t an evening about telling you that you need to have something done. It’s about giving you the information so you can decide what, if anything, is right for you. And most importantly, they'll be lots of opportunities to ask us questions.

Would you travel alone?

For some women, the idea feels wonderfully liberating. For others, booking a trip without a partner, family member or friend beside them seems far more daunting than exciting.

In my latest podcast episode, I’m joined by travel expert Sarah Lloyd-Rumens to talk honestly about what holds us back from going it alone.

What actually happens to our faces as we age?

Our skin changes, of course, but so do the fat, muscle and even bone beneath it. In my latest blog, I explain what’s really happening beneath the surface, why menopause can accelerate some of those changes, and why understanding how your face is ageing should always come before deciding what - if anything - to do about it.

And if you’d like to explore this in person, I’ll be talking about how and why our faces age at my Curious About Aesthetics? evening at Stanbrook Abbey Hotel on Thursday September 17th.

No pressure, no expectation to book a treatment - just expert information and the chance to ask the questions.

Facial ageing is far more complex than the gradual appearance of lines and wrinkles. As we get older, we lose collagen and elastin, facial fat changes position and volume, the supporting structures beneath the skin alter and even the bones of the face gradually remodel. For women, hormonal changes d...

To supplement or not to supplement? Now there's a question.

Powders, drinks, gummies, capsules… if you’ve ever wondered whether you should be taking supplements - and whether any of them actually make a difference - you’re certainly not alone.

That’s why I’m delighted that Alice Mackintosh, Clinical Nutritionist and co-founder of award-winning Equi London, will be joining us as a guest speaker at my Curious About Aesthetics event on Thursday September 17th.

Alice says, "Nothing replaces a healthy diet, but having worked with thousands of women over the last decade in my clinic, I find that good quality nutritional supplements can make a huge difference to energy, skin, general wellbeing and beyond, especially for busy women who don't always manage to eat a balanced diet."

It’s an important part of a much bigger conversation I want to have during the evening. Aesthetic treatments are only one aspect of how we approach ageing. What we eat, how we look after ourselves and the choices we make away from a clinic matter too.

And with so many supplements now promising healthier skin, stronger hair, better sleep, more energy and everything in between, knowing what is genuinely worth considering can be rather difficult.
Alice is going to help us make sense of it.

Curious about ageing well and what really makes a difference? Join me - and bring a friend too - I'd love to see you there:

We often talk about our faces ageing as though it’s simply about wrinkles. But there’s far more going on beneath the surface.

In this video, I explain a little about how and why our faces change as we age - because understanding what’s actually happening is an important starting point if you’re considering any kind of aesthetic treatment.

It’s also something I’ll be talking about in much more detail at my Curious About Aesthetics evening at Stanbrook Abbey Hotel on Thursday September 17th.

I’ll discuss the ageing process, look at the different treatment options available and, importantly, talk about what they can - and can’t - realistically achieve. And if you have any burning questions about what treatments are available, there’ll be plenty of opportunity to ask.

It’s designed to be a relaxed, informative evening. There’s no pressure to book a consultation or treatment, and you certainly won’t be put on the spot. Come alone or bring a friend - you don’t need to be an existing patient, and you don’t need to arrive knowing what you want.

I know the idea of attending an aesthetics event can feel intimidating… You might imagine a room full of people who already know exactly what they want, complicated treatment names and someone waiting to sell you something.

But this is what our evening will really look like:

A beautiful venue, and if you've never been inside Stanbrook Abbey this is the perfect excuse to have a look around!

A warm welcome from myself and my team (and a glass of fizz on arrival).

You'll get to hear from some of my patients sharing honest experiences along with clear, straightforward presentations.

And there'll be plenty of chances to ask your questions.

You don’t need to know anything about aesthetics before you arrive - and you don’t need to be considering a particular treatment. You can simply come along, meet us and find out what modern aesthetics can do. And why not bring a friend too? Sometimes it’s much easier to ask questions, compare notes and enjoy the evening with someone you know.

No pressure. No sales. Just information from an experienced consultant surgeon.

Curious About Aesthetics? Thursday September 17th 2026 from 6.30pm-10pm at Stanbrook Abbey Hotel, Worcestershire.

Tickets cost £20* each, including a welcome drink via PayPal: https://www.drjuliasen.co.uk/event-details/curious-about-aesthetics (*booking fee applies). For for other payment options, please email [email protected] and we will send you a payment link.

Ageing is gradual, complex and entirely individual. Our skin, fat, muscle and bone all change over time, which is why thoughtful treatment begins with understanding the face rather than simply treating the feature that bothers you most.

At Curious About Aesthetics?, I’ll separate fact from fiction and talk honestly about what treatments can achieve, what they cannot and how we can soften the signs of ageing without losing the character that makes you look like you.

Join me for an open, informative evening covering everything from Botox and blepharoplasty to skin health, our NEW Quantum10 FaceTite and the treatments in between. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and hear directly from clients about their experiences.

Ever driven past the gates of Stanbrook Abbey Hotel and wondered what lies beyond them? Those beautiful cloisters, stained glass windows, sweeping staircases and all that history of one of Worcestershire’s most beautiful buildings…

Well, on Thursday September 17th, you’ll have the perfect excuse to see inside. Bring a friend and join me for Curious About Aesthetics - an evening where I’ll divulge everything you could ever want to know about Botox, blepharoplasty and everything in between. I’ll talk about the benefits, the risks and the results, without the pressure of a consultation or any expectation that you’re there to book a treatment.

You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and hear directly from clients who have experienced a range of aesthetic procedures themselves - including our NEW Quantum10 FaceTite.

And, of course, you get to have a good look around the rather magnificent surroundings while you’re here. So whether you’re seriously considering a treatment, curious about aesthetics, or have always fancied seeing inside Stanbrook Abbey, you’re very welcome.
