Yup, I am working as a Dermatologist in Sydney. I will be working from The Melasma Clinic, located within The Skin Hospital in Darlinghurst. I see selected procedural cases, more on that later.Best Dermatologist Sydney.
Where am I located?
In addition to Cutis Clinic in Brisbane, I will be consulting in central Sydney at The Melasma Clinic, located within The Skin Hospital in Darlinghurst.
My work in Sydney has a procedural focus, including laser treatments for pigmentation, melasma, acne scars and selected surgical cases. The aim is to continue developing the laser centre at The Skin Hospital throughout 2026 and beyond.
What conditions will I see?
My consultation and procedural list in Sydney is focused on selected conditions based upon the clinic set-up and available equipment. These include:
- Cosmetics; this includes selected biostimulators and hydrators
- Skin tightening procedures; HIFU and RF microneedling
- Melasma and pigmentation treatments
- Low-level non-surgical acne scar revision procedures; RF microneedling, low-level lasers and selected treatments for scars
- Rosacea treatment – lasers
My Sydney practice is different from the facilities available at Cutis Clinic in Brisbane. As we continue to develop the laser centre at The Skin Hospital, the aim is to expand the range of available technologies and procedural capabilities.
My procedural interests also include more advanced treatments for selected cases, such as:
- Surgical scar revision; including subcision and laser treatments
- Ablative laser resurfacing with CO2 and erbium lasers
- Liposuction; neck
- Eye rejuvenation, surgical and laser blepharoplasty
- Medium to deep chemical peels
- Keloid excision (earlobes) and complex scar revision
- Birthmark treatments, including selected port wine stains
The availability of these procedures depends on the facilities, equipment and clinical arrangements in place. Please enquire before booking if you are seeking a specific treatment.
At the time of writing Q4 2026, the Sydney laser centre is continuing to develop, and not all procedures are available at this location.
Who is my team in Sydney?
My Sydney practice is based at The Melasma Clinic within The Skin Hospital in Darlinghurst. I work with the nurses at The Skin Hospital as we continue to develop the laser centre and expand its procedural capabilities.

What about skin consultations?
We have Louise, our experienced dermal therapist at Clinic DVP, Sydney to take you through skin care curated by Dr Van Park & myself. This consultation will take into account your current skin condition, background diagnosis, as well as your expectations.Â
*I do not provide skin care consultations as my work is entirely procedural. Our therapist will provide the necessary time to prescribe skin care based on your concerns.
What conditions won’t I see?
Anything medical, namely conditions that require a prescription or ongoing medical management. My Sydney work is focused on procedural dermatology. I still read journals on a daily basis and follow developments in medical dermatology, but I do not routinely consult for general medical dermatology through this service.
Hence, I do not routinely consult for the following conditions through my Sydney procedural practice:
- Acne requiring medical management (best assessed by a medical dermatologist)
- Any rashes, itchy skin, spots or moles requiring diagnostic assessment
- General skincare consultations
- Hair loss requiring diagnosis and medical treatment
- Side effects or complications from treatments at other clinics

What equipment do I have in Sydney?

- RF Microneedling: Secret RF. Tried & tested.
- Tixel: No downtime device that is great for eye rejuvenation.
- TriLift: the game changing RF & EMS/DMS by Lumenis.Â
- ExcelV: the best laser by Cutera.Â
- Curas QSL for pigment including melasma & age spots.Â
- Ultraformer HIFU for skin tightening & contouring.Â
- PRP for skin rejuvenation & recovery.
What is in store for 2026 & beyond?
My aim is to develop a laser centre for The Skin Hospital in Darlinghurst over the next few years, equipped with advanced lasers and energy-based devices.
Plans include:
- Fractional CO2 lasers.
- Picosecond lasers for selected pigmentation concerns, including treatment considerations for ethnic and darker skin types.
- Advanced vascular lasers.
- Skin-tightening technologies.
- Hybrid laser platforms.
Our aim is to continue expanding the range of technologies available in Sydney, drawing on the procedural expertise and experience developed through my work at Cutis Clinic in Brisbane.
The vision is to establish a comprehensive laser centre at The Skin Hospital, supported by a highly cohesive and trained team, with ongoing collaboration and training for the nurses at The Skin Hospital.
The focus for 2026 and beyond is to keep building the equipment repertoire, developing the team and expanding the range of procedural treatments available in Sydney.
Which dermatologists in Sydney do I refer to should you have medical problems?
My work is entirely procedural, namely I cut, laser, deep peel, or inject. I do not practice medical dermatology (except for cases pertaining to the procedure itself). On this basis we may refer you to my colleagues in Sydney to assist us in managing your skin condition.Â
