Medical Director / Medaesthetics / Perth
“As cosmetic doctors, our prime responsibility is to still be the healers and treat every patient with utmost respect and care.”
As a child, I had always been good with drawing and painting. I used to draw cartoons and human faces on my school note books and text books all the time and often used to get into trouble with my parents and teachers for doing that. I had a natural artistic flare from a very young age. I graduated as a medical doctor in 2000 and back then there were very few doctors offering non-surgical cosmetic treatments in the world.
It was not until 2006/2007 that I first noticed the very first cosmetic clinics starting to open doors (which were not affiliated with Plastic Surgery or Dermatology clinics). Back then I was working as an RMO in Adelaide, SA. As a junior doctor I was very good with my injecting and minor surgical skills in the hospital Emergency setup. I used to do hundreds of cannulas while being on-call as a Resident in medical and surgical wards and suture a lot of trauma related lacerations in the hospital emergency department. My training in clinical Psychiatry also helped me develop quick rapport with patients and win their trust. For me the field of cosmetic medicine was a god-send and it ticked all the boxes I could hope for as a career of choice in the field of medicine.
Bringing Skin Treatments To Central Australia
I established the very first laser and skin clinic in Central Australia (Alice Springs) in 2008/2009 on a part-time basis. There were no cosmetic clinics in the entire region back then. From memory, even Darwin had just one or two cosmetic clinics at the time. Those were very exciting times. Newer and better laser and light platforms were hitting the Australian market and the cosmetic industry literally exploded in popularity and demand right in front of our eyes. I remember I used to get patients who would travel 500km from Uluru to Alice Springs just to have laser skin treatments and anti-wrinkle injections with me!
Our Alice Springs clinic unfortunately closed down last year due to Covid related travel restrictions. Currently we have three clinics in Perth, WA and we are set to open a few more clinics in the greater Perth region once this Covid related uncertainty is under control.
Working with Venus Concept
I have been doing liposuction since 2011. We find Venus legacy to be an excellent treatment to combine with Vaser Liposuction for better results before and after the surgery. As a stand alone platform, it delivers excellent clinical results for treating mild- moderate cellulite and improves skin tone and texture where there is pre-existing skin laxity. It helps tighten the skin and improve body contours. Unlike many other non-surgical platforms, Venus Legacy actually works.
Venus Concept offers excellent after-sale service and marketing support. Unlike most other cosmetic device manufacturers, Venus Concept have a dedicated team based in WA to support all the local clinics, which is very helpful.
My motivation
I love my job and it also happens to be my passion. As a cosmetic doctor, I have the ability to bring a smile to my patients’ faces once they achieve the desired improvements. I am also very ethical and honest when it comes to recommending any cosmetic treatments. I never try to upsell or recommend treatments which may not deliver the desired results. I think as cosmetic doctors, our prime responsibility is to still be the healers and treat every patient with utmost respect and care.
