Giving You More Options with Medical Grade Skincare As I’ve branched into skincare and injectables, I field many enquiries regularly about skin regimens, if I know any that are worth spending on, evidence-based and what I would recommend.   As women, we feel a real pressure in a society that judges us first, by our looks. Sometimes our looks are seen as the only worthy thing about us.  While I don’t believe this is the only thing that defines us, I know most of us want to look our best, at any age! Additionally, I’m regularly approached by women with skin concerns that haven’t been addressed- rosacea, thin skin, adult acne, hyperpigmentation, prominent surface vessels and more. 1. Aspect Dr skincare products and chemical peels range which I’ve decided to stock. I shall cover these in more detail in another post, but in summary: chemical peels for skin maintenance, pigmentation, problem skin, including rosacea and ageing. 2. Rodan and Fields, from the USA. It is formulated by the two dermatologists who created Proactiv for teenage acne, and this brand targets sun damaged skin. I have some sample packs of these to those looking for a skincare regime for their sensitive skin, to combat general ageing and who are fighting hyperpigmentation and sun damage. The best part? All R+F regimens and products are backed by a 60 day empty bottle guarantee so you’ve literally nothing to lose. This is also a great option for those who are hesitant to try injectables, or simply don’t have the time for in-clinic appointments.  If you’d like to know more, here’s my website:  It contains a Skin Solutions Tool that’ll give you an idea of your skin needs which may help you (and me) determine which of the two will suit you better! Want to discuss it further with me? Book here for a consultation to discuss your expectations, budget and cost for you. Hope to see you in a clinic soon!

Dr Imaan Joshi trained at Sydney University and graduated in 2001. Between 2001-2004 she spent 3 years in a rural NSW town, doing much more procedural work than most junior doctors undertake in city hospitals. This led to her passion for surgery and Women’s Health, and she was accepted into a training program to begin training at The Royal Hospital for Women in 2004. Between 2004-2011, amidst working long hours, which involved procedural work most days and 60-70 hour work weeks, Dr Joshi had 4 children of her own. These years led to an appreciation not only for procedures, but as with anything that involves repetition, it allowed a degree of muscle memory when operating, speed as well as an awareness of what can go wrong, and what to do without panicking when it does. As such, when Dr Joshi switched to General Practice training in 2012, she loved most of the work but missed the procedural aspects of the job. Seeing chain clinics pop up everywhere, and reading of cases gone wrong and being an avid promoter of caring for skin at every stage of life, she looked into the ethics of the cosmetic industry, and decided to up skill in it in 2014. Over time, she worked at mobile clinics, and built her patient base of people who want to invest in themselves, in their faces, without looking too different. Her focus has always been on enhancing the best a face has to offer, rather than to change it such that it is obvious that work has been done. Dr Joshi is firmly rooted in the medical principle of “first do no harm” and will turn away requests for any procedure that does not seem ethical, or any patient whose demands are not in alignment with her values for sensible rejuvenation. Dr Joshi is a skilled practitioner first, and a businesswoman second. Her focus is to treat each face as a unique canvas for enhancement, to help you look meticulous at any age.
