Dr Mark Holmes
Dr Mark Holmes
MBBS, BAHYP
Aesthetic Doctor
Mark’s hobby is fighting the ageing process, from the inside out. He reads, researches and practises ways to stay younger at a molecular level. He eats a keto diet, exercises and follows routines to live longer, have more energy, and maintain a good memory.
Mark lives with his wife and his cat Chloe. He lives his life according to the Mohammed Ali quote:
‘Live each day as if it were your last, because someday you’re going to be right.’
A voracious reader, he’s done speed reading courses so he can read five books a week, even when working. He’s always trying to learn new things and push the boundaries.
Patients come to see me because they want a very natural look. They want to look refreshed and good for their age. They don’t want to suddenly look 20 years younger because their friends would stare at them. Mine are all very natural treatments to enhance people’s natural beauty.
Clinical profile
Dr Mark Holmes is an experienced aesthetic and anti-ageing doctor. He uses the latest advances in anti-ageing medicine and cosmetic treatment to restore confidence and make each individual look and feel younger.

He has a wealth of experience and expertise from his ten years in the cosmetic industry. He is a member of the American Academy of Anti-Ageing Medicine and a qualified medical hypnotherapist.

Making you, more you
Your journey starts with being well informed and there’s no better way than to have a private one-to-one consultation with a cosmetic plastic surgeon to understand what results you can expect, your expected recovery time and any complications.

Always highly professional and strongly recommended. I’ve consistently been thrilled with the results of my treatments and would readily recommend it. I appreciate how the outcomes are understated yet rejuvenating, giving me a ‘fresh’ appearance.

I booked in with Mark for an aesthetic assessment. During the consultation, we discussed my concerns and possible treatments. I booked in a few weeks after, for the treatment. I am very happy with my experience. Mark is very knowledgeable and explained each step, which helped me feel at ease. I would be very comfortable recommending Mark to others! Thanks again

I’ve seen Dr. Holmes at Bella Vou for Anti-Wrinkle Injections and tear trough filler. My experience couldn’t be more positive. I’ve previously had Anti-Wrinkle Injections and filler (though not tear trough filler) at another clinic near my home but wasn’t fully satisfied for reasons that I’ll come to. I then had surgery at Bella Vou last year and was so impressed with… well, everything… that I thought I’d try getting my aesthetic treatments done there, too… Tear trough filler was something I was nervous about from a pain perspective, but Dr Holmes used a cannula, and I barely even felt it. In contrast, my previous injector used a syringe for filler and I think this contributed to the discomfort and bruising. Most importantly, the results look fantastic. Very natural, but refreshed. Bella Vou is a 2 hour train or car journey for me, but I’m more than happy to do 4 hours of travel to receive such superior treatment. I can’t recommend Dr Holmes and Bella Vou enough.

I went to see Dr Holmes for a consultation to have some injectables to improve my eye are and neck area. He was very professional and knowledgeable which gave the confidence to book the appointment to have the treatments. Now after three weeks of the application of anti-wrinkle injections and fillers I am delighted with the results. I recommend visiting Dr Holmes.

I enquired about anti-wrinkle injections and mole removal. I’ve previously had fillers here before and it’s been my best experience in comparison to four other places I have tried. I have learnt my lesson and will always come back here. Really fast response to my enquiry. Will be returning in the NY for treatment.

Mark is very welcoming, understanding and calm. I have had anti wrinkle injections and filler with mark, both look completely natural but make me look fresh. There is a no-pressure approach, just an open conversation on what you would like to change about your appearance and Mark talks you through the options he would recommend. Couldn’t recommend enough. All staff are friendly and happy to help

Quite a different experience to that which I’ve had in the past. A complete analysis of features and measurements in order to get the best result possible. Over the coming days, I felt as if nothing had been done. No heaviness on the eyes, no restrictions in moving my face. Yet the lines miraculously disappeared. The overall result was a more useful, relaxed look. Exceptional.

Mark is the epitome of kind and professional. He is clearly very knowledgeable about what he does, and explains everything as he goes. I totally trusted him, and have been so impressed with the results. All the staff at Bella Vou clinic are very caring and lovely, and you really get the sense that they all just want to make you happy. The clinic itself is beautiful too.

I have put off having any kind of aesthetic treatment for years due to being scared of needles and incredibly nervous about it not looking natural or something going horribly wrong! However Mark has proven to be a brilliant practitioner to see – so patient and knowledgeable – I have never felt pressured to have a procedure when visiting for a consultation and really like his approach to doing a little at a time until a client like me is comfortable. I could not recommend him and Bella Vou’s more highly.

Mr Holmes made me feel very relaxed with his friendly and calming manner.
He talked through the whole procedure to keep me calm and was very gentle when injecting. He took the time to listen to my needs and concerns and knew exactly what I wanted. He felt completely confident in his hands.

Professional service with excellent advice on how to maintain healthy young looking skin. Mark has discouraged me from treatments I didn’t need which I have found very reassuring. Everyone at Bella Vou has been very kind and professional. Great experience from beginning to end.

Having never had any facial treatments and being a bit nervous, Mark explained the procedures and expectations thoroughly to me. I’m thrilled with my results. I don’t look as tired and am feeling much more positive about ageing with a bit of help from Mark.

My experiences with Mark have been very positive. He is excellent and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone and everyone. I have had various procedures – Anti Wrinkle Injections, Fillers and Sunekos – which Mark has recommended to achieve the subtle and natural effect I want. I was concerned about looking ‘done’, puffy or fake but Mark eased my worries and suggested a combination of different treatments for different areas, providing exactly what I was hoping for. I get many compliments about looking younger and fresh faced (recently I turned 46 and was mistaken for 36!). I feel great and way more confident. I couldn’t be happier with the results.
