“My approach for facial aesthetic treatments is to achieve a natural appearance for my patients, resulting in a more youthful and fresher look. I don’t believe in over-treating, which can result in the inability to move certain muscles or produce natural expressions. That is also why I ensure good follow up for patients to ensure complete satisfaction”

“On many occasions I see patients needing corrections having sought cheaper treatments &/or having seen inadequately trained practitioners. This is an ongoing problem due to lack of regulation over who can administer them. My mantra is safety first and often less is more. I train other doctors to administer these treatments with the emphasis on patient assessment, information and safety”
