Debbie McGee says a year of NeoGen Plasma treatments changed how she treats her skin at 67. She says the treatment removed age spots and freckles, and left her confident enough to go makeup-free day to day.
She said the biggest shift was practical, not cosmetic gloss. After spending years covering a large brown age spot with foundation, she says the treatment left her skin smoother than it had been in her 40s and made her feel more natural without daily makeup.
NeoGen Plasma in Reading
McGee had been having a series of NeoGen Plasma treatments for the past year with aesthetic nurse practitioner Jenny O’Neill at the Aspire Clinic in Reading. O’Neill describes age spots and pigmentation as stubborn concerns because excess melanin can sit at multiple depths within the skin, and says NeoGen converts medical-grade nitrogen gas into plasma to deliver controlled thermal energy across the skin surface and deeper layers.
That process matters here because McGee was not looking for a quick cover-up. She said she had never had cosmetic treatments before and had not even had facials, yet she was persuaded to reconsider after seeing results achieved with NeoGen Plasma by Christine Hamilton and Shirley Ballas. For a reader weighing a similar treatment, the shift is the point: the aim was not to hide the marks for one shoot, but to change the routine that had made foundation part of every day.
Debbie McGee and Paul Daniels
McGee spoke on a shoot at the Oxfordshire home she shared with Paul Daniels until his death in 2016, and she said the camera lighting still made makeup necessary for filming. She also said she wanted to tackle pigmentation she had become increasingly self-conscious about, including freckles from years as a sun worshipper and the brown mark she had long tried to conceal.
Her own words leave little room for spin: “I had a great big brown age spot,” she said, adding that she always had to cover it with makeup. She said the treatment removed the tiny brown freckles she used to notice on other people in photographs and on TV, and called the result “quite life-changing for me.”
A Magical Life in October
The immediate practical takeaway is simple. McGee says the treatment gave her the confidence to stop wearing makeup on a day-to-day basis, even if she still reaches for it when lighting and recording demand it. Her autobiography A Magical Life was due out in October, so the story lands while she is still publicly explaining the change in her appearance and routine, not after the fact.
For anyone looking at NeoGen Plasma through her example, the useful question is not whether a single treatment erases every mark; it is whether a year-long course can reduce the sort of pigmentation McGee had spent years managing by hand. On her account, it did, and the result was not vanity but a simpler morning routine.
