Meet Vanessa - Dermal Clinician

Vanessa’s passion for skin health was sparked by a deep curiosity about the science of the skin and its powerful link to overall wellbeing and confidence. This interest led her to study a Bachelor of Dermal Science, where she developed a strong foundation in both the medical and cosmetic aspects of skin treatment. What she loved most about her studies was the opportunity to deeply understand the skin’s structure and function, and how this knowledge could be applied to create meaningful, visible change.

With experience in both clinical and aesthetic settings, Vanessa brings a well-rounded, evidence-based approach to treating skin concerns. Her particular passion lies in dermoscopy, mole mapping, and skin cancer prevention, and she is dedicated to early detection and client education as key tools in managing skin health long-term. This medical lens complements her cosmetic expertise, allowing her to treat the skin not just for how it looks, but for how it functions.

Vanessa’s treatment philosophy is all about balance and merging science with a personalised, empathetic touch. She believes in educating her clients and creating treatment plans that are sustainable, realistic, and tailored to each individual’s needs. Her calm, collaborative style helps clients feel informed and empowered every step of the way.

Joining Fountain Skin Clinic has been an exciting move for Vanessa, who values the clinic’s commitment to integrity, innovation, integrated health and high-quality care. Clients can expect comprehensive, honest consultations and treatment experiences that prioritise long-term skin health, not just surface-level results.

Outside of the clinic, Vanessa stays active playing tennis, volunteering as the social event coordinator for her local sporting club, and diving into the latest research and advancements in dermal science. She is particularly excited and inspired by developments in skin barrier health, regenerative treatments and is always refining her approach through ongoing education and training.

If she could share one piece of advice with everyone, it would be this: “Consistency is key! Great skin doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right guidance, it’s absolutely achievable.”
