My First Cosmetic Procedure | Dr Tracy Mountford
10/03/2019 Duration: 01h07minIn this episode I'm joined by Dr Tracy Mountford of The Cosmetic Skin Clinic (@the_cosmetic_skin_clinic) to talk about my first ever cosmetic procedure. It's taken me more than 15 years of working in beauty to do anything more than a facial, blow-dry or massage and in this episode I explain why the fear-factor stopped me and how I overcame it, and whether I'm now considering more...As well as my experience though, which is obviously very subjective, I wanted to get an expert opinion on cosmetic procedures, which is why I asked Dr Tracy Mountford to join me on the show. She has over 25 years experience in practice and I asked her the kind of things to ask, what you're likely to experience and what different injectables can do for you.To find your nearest CoolSculpting clinic visit Find a CoolSculpting Treatment To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.
