Why We Choose to Exist: A Purpose-Driven Approach to Aesthetic Medicine

Written By Ashleigh Schwarz

Clinical Care without the Hype

The Derm Clinic was founded on a simple belief: aesthetic medicine belongs in healthcare. Not in beauty salons. Not in social media trends. And not in the hands of anyone offering superficial quick fixes.

We are a nurse practitioner-led clinic that treats the skin as a whole, not as a canvas to be altered, but a system to be understood, supported, and respected.

What We Stand For

  • Evidence over ego – Every treatment is based on clinical data, not popularity.

  • Precision products – We don’t recommend routines full of guesswork. We prescribe care with intention.

  • Minimalism over excess – Fewer steps. Smarter formulations. Measurable outcomes.

  • Informed consent over impulse – We support every decision with evidence, education and safety.

  • Long-term trust over one-off treatments – We partner with you for future focussed skin health.

Our Role in the Industry

We exist to elevate aesthetic medicine. That means:

  • Practicing within AHPRA and NMBA guidelines

  • Using technology like the Nexa ST to diagnose, not guess

  • Prescribing compounded skincare and aesthetic treatments when needed

  • Creating care plans that adapt with age, health, and context

This is cosmetic dermatology, not a spa menu.

The Derm Clinic Difference

You won’t find exaggerated claims here. You’ll find respectful, evidence-based care.
You won’t be sold treatments. You’ll be offered clinical recommendations.
You won’t be rushed. You’ll experience a standard of care that values consistency and intent.


If you’re ready to approach your skin with clinical intention, let’s begin with a Nexa ST consultation.

We will look deeper, plan better, and deliver care that’s results focussed and clinically guided.
