We talk to Dr Anatalia Moore of Dr Anatalia Aesthetics

Why did you become an aesthetics doctor?

There is a deep rooted interplay between physical/cosmetic conditions and mental health and wellbeing. In the 10 years since I qualified as a doctor, I saw and managed this regularly in my NHS work but often felt that I wanted to do more. At this time medical aesthetics was growing quickly. I already loved the intricacy of practical procedures in the form of NHS minor ops and found spending time getting to know my patients thoroughly rewarding.

Aesthetic medicine is the perfect balance between science and art with forging patient relationships at the heart of it; so it was the perfect fit!

A lot of people want to tweek their looks but are afraid of where to start. What is a good treatment for beginners?

There is no one-size-fits-all in my book! Everyone has different aesthetic needs and goals so the starting point for your journey will likely vary from someone else’s.

However, if I had to pick, I would say treatments that improve the quality of the skin, such as collagen induction therapy or skin boosters. They combat many issues from prevention to active treatment of signs of ageing. So great for all ages as well as being less ‘daunting’ when considering the procedures themselves and any downtime involved.

What treatments are most popular?

Full facial treatments or ‘facial profiling’ is very popular at the moment. A range of injectable treatments are used together in a holistic and personalised approach to give you outstanding natural results.  Detailed knowledge of anatomy and medical understanding of how and why signs occur allows me to choose and accurately place treatments to target your concern at its cause; reducing lines, replacing volume and harmonising features.

When ideally should you get serious about your skincare routine?

The importance of skin health should really be taught from a very young age. But, it is never too late to start looking after your skin! It is simply about understanding its needs at that time.

In our 20s and below it is about maintaining quality and preventing damage with a great ‘basic’ routine and healthy lifestyle. As we move through the years the focus then moves to the inclusion of ‘active’ ingredients that can stimulate healing, repair and rejuvenation, tailored to your needs.

Knowledge is power! Understanding what has caused changes in your skin, how individual products work and why they will benefit you will mean that you can adapt your skin routine to always get the best results.

What is the most rewarding part of your job?

Of course, I love seeing the fantastic physical results but by far the best part is witnessing the sparkling confidence that treatments can give back to people. If we look good, we feel good! Knowing that I have helped empower someone to reconnect with their sense of self and through that also flourish in other areas of life is truly an honour.

What is next for your business?

Expanding my premises is my first aim and then introducing innovative non-surgical energy based therapies to complete a rounded set of aesthetic treatment options. Ultimately, by introducing private general practice I hope to be able to support my patients with both their physical and mental health as well as aesthetic journeys. I love being able to care for my patients holistically and want to give them the time and quality of care they deserve.
