Meet the Clinic’s team of specialists!

The Clinic at Bondi Junction has built a formidable reputation since opening its doors in 2001.

Directors, Kaye Scott and Lisa Sullivan, contribute their success to the high standard of service and superior technology offered, as well as the engagement of a professional and dedicated team of Doctors, registered nurses and clinical aestheticians.

Kaye Scott

Founder

Kaye Scott trained as a Registered General and Psychiatric nurse in Dublin Ireland. She came to Australia in the late 80’s formerly worked as a Registered Nurse at St. Vincents Hospital Sydney specializing in I.C.U. Kaye left nursing and worked for several leading Pharmaceutical companies before starting a career as a clinical nurse trainer for Boots Health Care Australia where she specialized in "wound care".

In the 1998 Kaye was approached by a laser company to become their clinical trainer. It was in this role she discovered a niche in the market for a clinic that would not only provide a high level of clinical care but also a high level of service.

Together Kaye Scott and co director Lisa Sullivan started "The Clinic" in 1999 and have grown The Clinic to one of the most reputable and sought after cosmetic/laser medical practices in Australia.

As a Co-Director of The Clinic Kaye is experienced in all of the non-surgical treatments available.  Kaye says “I believe you can look great for your age, rather than 10 years younger, it’s not necessarily lines that can age you but the condition of your skin.”

Kaye specializes in skin care and loves the CosMedix skin care range and in-house Peels. She is often quoted as an expert in the magazines like Madison, Shop Till You Drop, Women Weekly, Vogue etc and is always the first to be contacted by any media if a quote or opinion is needed.

Lisa Sullivan-Smith

Founder

Registered Nurse

Lisa Sullivan, a Registered Nurse with almost two decades of nursing experience commenced training at St Vincent's Private Hospital and this is where her interest in plastic surgery began. "I remember looking after my first face-lift patient and thought all the intricacy of facial surgery and reconstruction was fascinating".

Ironically, after leaving hospital duties Lisa was involved with a pharmaceutical career and was then headhunted by a French dermaceutical firm to launch "Avene" France's leading cosmetic and post-laser products for Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons.

This is where she met Kaye Scott and their passion and drive to build their laser empire began.

As co-director of The Clinic, Lisa is experienced in all laser treatments and non-surgical procedures. Lisa's knowledge is so vast she prides herself on accurate assessment of clients and treats each case with empathy and understanding. Lisa's medical knowledge will put you at ease as she explains all aspects with accuracy and can confidently predict the results of your treatment on initial consultation. Lisa's patent profile expands from beauty editors, fashion designers, socialites and Australian film crew and the like.

Lisa's specialty is IPL working with the Lumenis 1 machine, the most powerful IPL available for the effective treatment of pigmentation, sun damage, capillaries, photorejuvenation & rosacea. Lisa can get maximum results in little time. Her work is precise and uplifting for the client, "It's all about improving self-esteem working on the outside heals the inside". Lisa is regarded by her peers as a genius in her field and many cosmetic physicians refer to her pre-plastic surgery. We are know specialising in IPL for chests, arms, backs etc

Wrinkle control is also a specialty of Lisa's; her artistic flair is enhanced by her steady hand. Wrinkle control is available as an add-on treatment to all services at The Clinic. Don't forget to ask Lisa about the "eyebrow lift". This enhancement is just like Kylie Minogue's!

Lisa is a working mum with Dominic 4 years old and Lucy 5 years old.

Lisa thrives on a challenge and constantly seeks to update her knowledge and skills by attending conferences and seminars both in Australia and overseas.

Dr. Carolyn Lechowicz

Rejuvination Specialist

Dr Carolyn Lechowicz is a medical doctor who graduated with honors from Sydney University in 1979.

Specialising in Preventative Skin Care, Dermal Fillers and the treatment of Dynamic wrinkles Carolyn has been with The Clinic since it was first established in 1999.

Carolyn believes that year round Sun-care and the use of selected skin care products set the stage for retaining skin quality and optimal long term results from rejuvenation procedures.

To achieve the best results when treating dynamic wrinkles in the upper and lower face requires familiarity with the clients' expressions, experience and the accurate selection of dose and product placement. A natural, relaxed, refreshed and more youthful appearance is always best.

Non-surgical intervention is very appealing in today's cosmetic world. Carolyn believes the secret to a successful cosmetic result is to tailor the treatment to each and every face and individual needs.
