Our Specialists
As Dermatologists we specialise in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of skin disease and skin cancers.

To become a Dermatologist it is firstly necessary to complete a medical degree. Thereafter, general training in medicine and surgery is undertaken followed by a four-year training programme in Dermatology. Only after a doctor has successfully completed this programme as well as passed the examination set by the Australasian College of Dermatologists can they call themselves a Dermatologist. This is signified by the letters FACD.

However, our training often doesn’t end there, with many Dermatologists obtaining further experience in specific areas such as Mohs’ surgery, laser therapy or paediatric skin conditions.

In total, it usually takes a minimum of 11 years of medical training to become a Dermatologist.

All practicing dermatologists have an obligation to maintain professional standards and participate in the Australasian College of Dermatologists Continuing Professional Development Program.

LightSheer® DUET laser

A giant step forward in hair removal!

The LightSheer® DUET is a laser that produces a large but precise beam of highly concentrated light that targets the pigment located in hair follicles (which gives hair its colour). During treatment, the laser pulses for only a fraction of a second, allowing the hair to absorb the light and heat up, but without damaging the surrounding skin. As it heats up, the hair shaft and bulb are damaged, significantly impeding its ability re-grow. The LightSheer® DUET offers two handpiece choices depending on the area to be treated. The larger High Speed handpiece uses breakthrough vacuum-assisted technology to allow fast and comfortable treatment of large areas. For example, a back or legs can now be treated in 15-20 minutes, without the need for numbing cream. The smaller handpiece is equipped with ChillTip® cooling to allow comfortable and precise treatment of smaller areas.

Dr Michelle Hunt takes a look at what’s new in “anti-ageing” skin care.
Instantly Ageless™

There seems to be a lot of hype about Instantly Ageless™, a new product that is about to be launched in Australia. According to the company (Jeunesse™) Instantly Ageless™ is “a powerful anti-wrinkle microcream that works quickly and effectively to diminish the signs of ageing”. But is there any science to it? The active ingredient if Argirelene, a synthetic peptide that works like anti-wrinkle injections but without the needles. When applied as a solution to specific areas of the face Argirelene inhibits the chemical reactions that cause muscles to contract, thus ‘relaxing’ the areas. Argireline is thus used in attempts to decrease the visible effects of ageing by reducing wrinkles and lines.

CoolSculpting®

Transform your body without surgery or downtime!

We all have areas of unwanted fat that despite exercise and healthy eating, just don’t budge. Now there is a solution that does not involve needles, knifes or suction cannulas.

Developed by Harvard Scientists, CoolSculpting® technology delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target fat cells without damage to the skin.

The treated fat cells are crystallised (frozen), and naturally eliminated from your body over the next few months, leaving a more sculpted you. And once the fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good, so as long as you maintain your weight with normal diet and exercise, your long-term results should remain stable.

Usually you will see a noticeable reduction of fat in the treated area after one treatment, but additional sessions can be performed for further enhancement.

At Inner Sydney Dermatology we will help you create an individualised treatment plan tailored just for you and as it is completely non-surgical, you can typically return to normal activities immediately.

Eyelash Enhancement Kits

Longer luscious lashes can be yours!

Long eyelashes have always been considered a sign of beauty with many of us using mascara, or eyelash extensions to temporarily enhance their appearance. But now there is a scientifically tested medical grade alternative In Australia which can be used for the treatment of sparse eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker.

Nanoparticles

Heard about this terminology but note sure what it means for your skin’s health?

Nanoparticles are tiny particles often found in many modern sunscreens and cosmetics. With some research suggesting that this could poses a risk to our health, find out what the evidence is.

The Vitamin D debate
The risks and benefits of sun exposure

With our body needing Vitamin D to regulate calcium levels and maintain healthy muscles and bones, some recent studies have suggested sun exposure can prevent and treat a number of diseases. So is sun exposure safe?
