“Always, my desire is to uncover each of my patient’s potential beauty, guiding them towards being the best possible version of themselves ... not just to chase wrinkles or make cheeks or lips larger, just because I can. That would be an insult to modern, science-based aesthetic medicine. I would never suggest any treatment that I would not be prepared for either my children or myself to undergo.”

I always wanted a career that involved helping others, and as a first degree, I trained in clinical radiology. This is an amazing field of medicine, but I realised I wanted more long-term connection and care with my patients, and so, as a postgraduate, I trained in a second filed - adult nursing. Over the years, my background in radiology, nursing, women’s health and palliative care has given me a deep understanding of both the science and emotion behind true patient care.
My introduction to aesthetic and regenerative medicine came from a profoundly moving experience in oncology nursing. Back in 2010, a young 39-year-old mother, enduring a gruelling terminal illness, longed to feel beautiful again for her wedding. I researched appropriate aesthetic treatments that restored her confidence for that momentous special day — and that moment changed my life. It revealed how aesthetics could go far beyond appearance, touching emotional healing and dignity, and so I undertook my preliminary aesthetics training immediately with one of the UK’s most respected plastic surgeons, and as they say, the rest is history. Continuous study and trainings have ensued, as learning in our rapidly developing field is paramount, and I have dedicated over 15 years to specialising in medical aesthetics, combining scientific precision with compassionate care.
At Pom Pom Aesthetics, my philosophy is simple: to help you look and feel like the best version of yourself — naturally, safely, and confidently.
With advanced expertise in skin health, regenerative treatments, and holistic wellness, I tailor every plan to your individual needs — whether you’re in your 30s or your 80s. I have a particular passion for supporting peri-menopausal, menopausal, and post-cancer patients, helping them rediscover confidence and balance through gentle, evidence-based care.
At Pom Pom, beauty is never about perfection — it’s about self-assurance, vitality, and authenticity. My aim is to restore harmony between how you look and how you feel, using advanced aesthetic techniques, medical-grade skincare, and wellness-led treatments that enhance, not change, who you are. We do not have to chase an artificial ideal, like an airbrushed magazine photo, but we can redefine your unique beauty through a combination of aesthetic treatments, skin care, wellness and optimum lifestyle choices.
When I’m not in clinic, I’m happiest with my family, friends, and two lively spaniels, walking in nature, cooking wholesome meals, or tending to my garden — the perfect reminder that growth and renewal are always possible.
At Pom Pom, our clinical director, Penny Commerford, is both a UK and AHPRA registered advanced nurse practitioner and clinical diagnostic radiographer. She has extensive clinical experience, having worked in many medical specialisations for over 25 years in both the UK and in Australia.

Penny trained in non-surgical aesthetic medicine in 2010, with the renowned plastic surgeon, Mr Adrian Richards, in Harley Street, London. She undertakes continuous training and believes that gaining evidence-based and clinically proven knowledge of new, evolving practices is vital in this quickly advancing field.
Her extensive pre- and post-graduate qualifications provide her with a comprehensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and pathology, which makes her a highly competent practitioner of aesthetic medicine.
Combined with extensive reading and research, she frequently attends seminars and conferences, as well as enjoying online webinars. Penny also regularly undertakes specialised professional aesthetic training provided by leading experts in the UK, Europe, Asia, Australia and the USA.
Combining her love of the arts, and an appreciation of the beauty of symmetry, with her scientific knowledge might be considered the perfect mix for someone providing aesthetic medical treatments! As her patient, you will always be carefully assessed, and all your treatments will be undertaken with both medical precision and a true aesthetic eye.

I couldn't recommend Pom Pom Aesthetics enough. The level of care, thought, and professionalism is outstanding.



Many people worry about having a frozen face after having wrinkle-relaxing treatments. It was one of my biggest fears, but Penny assured me that my face had a small amount of movement, and yet I looked refreshed and younger. It was my first experience, and I was so happy, I will be back in three months time.



Penny from Pom Pom Aesthetics has been my go-to aesthetic practitioner. I trust this clinic and highly recommend their services.
