Key Facts

    • If you do nothing else for your skin use a good sunscreen on a daily basis. The regular use of sunscreen is the cornerstone for a skin care and can not be overemphasized- especially for the Queensland climate. Westside Dermatology carries an excellent range of skin care products endorsed by dermatologist World Wide.
    • As everyone has a General Practitioner, similarly, everyone should have their own dermatologist…who knows your skin better than a dermatologist? From skin checks to product recommendation, dermatologists are in the forefront of technology, providing total skin care.
    • Almost everyone’s skin can be improved – dermatologists are experts at treating pigmentation, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, blocked pores and most importantly pre-cancerous lesions. We use a combination of creams, peels and photorejuvenation to give the best result possible.
    • The basis behind effective acne management is to treat acne, recommend non comedogenic products, prevent and address scarring.
      Dr Davin Lim, director acne specialist clinics.
    • The unique aspect of skin care in Queensland is addressing the extraordinary amount of sundamage seen as early as in the teens. As simple regime of sunscreen, vitamin A creams and Alpha Hydroxy Acids can partially reverse photodamaged skin.
      Dr Davin Lim, Dermatologist.
    • A simple skin care regime is the best way to look after your skin. Use a gentle cleanser and an oil free sunscreen as the basis of your routine. We often combine fruit acids and a vitamin A cream as an integral part of our client’s skin care.
