Growth factors play an integral role in skin’s natural ability to repair damage and are key anti-ageing actives in skin rejuvenation.

Qualified Clinicians

Dr Taylor is passionate about qualifications and education. His non-surgical team consists only of Dermal Clinicians (hold a Bachelor of Health Science – Dermal Therapies) providing the dermal therapy treatments and Registered Nurses providing wrinkle-reducing injectables to ensure his patients are provided with the most professional service and advice.

Having the support of a Medical Practitioner in the clinic ensures the risks to patients are reduced whilst ensuring a safe and cost effective result for the patient.

The clinic not only receives the extra income but also is rewarded with a loyal patient who will remain in the clinic for years to come.

In the same respect, those patients who present wanting non-surgical rejuvenation that are really candidates for surgery are given honest and realistic advice that non- surgical options may not provide the outcomes (20-30% improvement) but could achieve up to a 70-80% improvement with surgery or even more with a combination of both.
