Dr Tracy Mountford
is a key opinion leader in the world of non-surgical cosmetic treatments she is known for her light hands and has been named as one of the top cosmetic doctors in the UK. Here she discusses the latest trends in non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
“I believe that the media has had a huge impact on peoples interest in aesthetic treatments and that the availability of information through newspapers, magazines, the Internet and on TV has helped make cosmetic enhancement more main stream and less in the realm of the rich and famous. However I also believe that our fascination with celebrity has played its part in its huge growth. We are in an era now where this kind of work has become an extension of personal grooming. “I think the celebrity culture has definitely had an influence on the market too, although, as we know, they are not always the best ambassadors!”
“I am an ordinary woman in her 40s and I do what all women of that age group do, we look in the mirror and we think we don’t look like we used to, even with our makeup on! But the exciting thing is that there is so much non-surgically out there now that can help restore our fresh looks. My philosophy is to enhance natural beauty rather than alter looks and creating a natural look is a key part of my approach to a patient.”
“In the last 5 years the trend has changed; the key is to not look like you have had something done. It is about the ‘make-under’ rather than a ‘make-over’ effect. I believe all women have a natural beauty about them and it is my job to bring that out. Soft natural enhancement of features with a softening of lines to give an airbrushed look is my trademark.”
“What we do at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic is to make people look as good as they can for their age. When I first started practising 20 years ago we only had a few treatments in our armory: treatments that are still the staples of any good aesthetic practice today; botox, dermal fillers and peels. One of the most exciting developments in recent years has been the way in which these treatments have expanded and evolved, for example there are some superb technologies and treatments which deliver excellent results which are now available. These include pixilated laser treatments that improve the texture and tone of the skin and radio- frequency treatments such as Thermage. Thermage has been clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin to smooth out wrinkles and renew facial contours including the jaw line and neck area and can even improve crêpey abdomens and baggy upper arms. All these treatments, when performed skilfully, expertly and appropriately, deliver results that are soft, subtle yet dramatically rejuvenating.”
“There is a greater understanding about what contributes to the ageing face; it’s not just about lines, but about the descent of the brow, loss of facial volume, even loss of skull density. At the same time, treatments have become more sophisticated – we can volumise, hydrate and even stimulate collagen at bone level. The way I approach treatment is to make patients look refreshed and rejuvenated but they still look like themselves… just better. People are always asking me ‘what’s new’? But new doesn’t always mean better – new means new, new means interesting and worth a look.”
“A new product or technique might well prove to be good, but it might not. I always like to wait and see exactly how a new product or technique develops. Once I am convinced of its safety and efficacy, then I will offer it. I think we are in a very exciting time that’s going at a very fast pace, but the main problem for the potential patient will be confusion about treatments and where to go. This is where practitioner choice becomes so important – my advice is to see a responsible, experienced cosmetic medical practitioner who can guide them through this maze!”

Extract taken from Times Online – Alice Hart Davis – May 8th 2010 ‘Diary of a beauty addict’: Blow-drys 7, Botox 2, Facials 4.
“January Needles, incalculable; blow-dries, 5 More spiky needles, this time with Dr Tracy Mountford, one of my favourite cosmetic doctors: I’ve become intrigued by the Dermaroller (courses from £350), a barrel of ultra-fine spikes that is rolled across the face to stimulate skin repair. It’s pretty brutal, leaves you looking sunburnt for a day or two, but is surprisingly effective at producing smoother skin. Luckily, it has calmed down by the time I do a book-signing event with my eldest daughter (we’ve written a beauty book for teenagers)”…………….
Dermaroller is a micro needling skin treatment we provide at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic to improve the skins texture and overall skin quality. It can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars, aged and sun damaged skin, facial and décolleté lines, wrinkles and stretch marks. Genuine Dermaroller has superb results used in conjunction with Restylane Vital for deep dermal hydration.
