I am a Specialist General Practitioner (FRACGP) with over thirty years of professional experience in the medical field. Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to providing comprehensive healthcare services, including preventative health strategies. In addition to my general practice, I have developed a special interest in cosmetic facial rejuvenation and have undertaken advanced training and earned relevant certifications in this domain. Over the past sixteen years, I have operated a cosmetic practice alongside my GP practice. My expertise covers a wide range of non-surgical treatments aimed at addressing concerns such as wrinkles, volume loss, and skin laxity. I also have a particular interest in bio-regenerative procedures that stimulate the body's natural repair mechanisms to reduce visible signs of aging. I believe in assessing each patient's unique facial anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals to create personalised treatment plans designed aimed at achieving the best possible results. Throughout every procedure, I strictly adhere to the highest standards of medical safety, hygiene, and patient care to ensure optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction.
My journey in thread lifting started in 2014 when I first explored non-surgical facial lifting techniques. In 2017, I officially began working with Aptos threads after they were successfully registered with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia, confirming that the products meet Australian safety, quality, and efficacy standards. To improve my skills, I completed extensive training programs focused on the specialised Aptos techniques. In 2018, I travelled to Tbilisi, Georgia, to undertake advanced practical training, including instruction from Dr. Marlen Sulamanidze, the renowned pioneer and original designer of the Aptos threads and thread lifting methods. This intensive training not only enhanced my technical abilities but also made me one of the first two practitioners in Australia to receive official certification as an Aptos Trainer, allowing me to teach and certify other professionals in this innovative technique.
