I started performing hair transplants on the Gold Coast over 22 years ago at Medici Capelli Clinic on Chevron Island. At that time there were no other hair transplant clinics in the whole of Queensland, and only a handful in Australia. Unable to obtain training in hair transplantation in Australia I had to visit international experts in transplant surgery to obtain training and lean the latest…

I recently wrote an article which appeared in the Gold Coast Bulletin under the heading Tighter rules for fillers and face fixers. Regulatory bodies including AHPRA, the TGA, and Queensland Health, have clarified how existing regulations are interpreted this year.

Chris Leat — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 00:05:35 +0000

Does Envisage Clinic offer facials, hydrodermabrasion and skin needling? Yes we do. But I’m telling you NOT to have these treatments? - That doesn’t make sense! Let me explain!

Chris Leat — Mon, 08 Apr 2024 04:51:45 +0000
