Celebrating 28 Years of Excellence: 
Ultimate Skin and Body’s Journey

Tomorrow marks a significant milestone for us at Ultimate Skin and Body – it's our 28th birthday! From humble beginnings as the original Australian Skin Clinics, which opened its doors in September 1996, to evolve into the Ultimate Skin and Body brand, our journey has been one of passion, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to our clients. For the past 17 years under my ownership, we've relentlessly strived to offer the highest standards of care, and we are thrilled to celebrate our clinic’s legacy today. 

Reflecting on Our Journey

For over 28 years, Ultimate Skin and Body has grown into a destination for advanced skin care and facial aesthetics. Our journey began with a single vision: to provide exceptional treatments, services and products, backed by science and delivered with care for optimum results. What started as a modest acne clinic has flourished into a well-recognised brand synonymous with quality and trust. Here are 7 highlights of our achievements:

1. **Innovation:** We've always believed in staying ahead of the curve. From introducing cutting-edge laser technology to pioneering advanced anti-aging treatments, we have continually invested in the latest advancements to bring the best results to our clients. We test and trial all equipment before we buy, and in 2020, we launched ISSADA Clinical Formula to ensure that our clients have the best possible skincare, too. 

2. **Expert Team:** Our highly trained team of dermal therapists, cosmetic nurses, and aestheticians are the backbone of our clinic. Their dedication to ongoing education and personalised care has earned us a loyal client base who trust us with their skin health. Some of our clients have been coming to us for well over 20 years, and we even have third-generation clients with teenage acne clients.

3. **Client-Centric Approach:** We put our clients at the heart of everything we do. Understanding individual needs and delivering tailored solutions have been central to our success. Building long-term relationships with our clients has always been more important than a quick fix and our clients value this approach. 

4. **Community Involvement:** We are proud of our commitment to our local community. Over the years, we have supported dozens of charities, local events, and causes that resonate with our values, fostering a sense of connection and giving back to those who have supported us. From collecting gift contributions for the Gold Coast Community Xmas lunch, sponsoring the Blue Light Drug Arm appeal and the Children’s Circus charity to providing raffle prizes and donations to multiple causes, and sending much-needed medicines, equipment, and scrubs overseas - we have been busy indeed!

5. **Awards and Recognition:** Our clinic and owner has been fortunate to receive numerous accolades and recognitions over the years, from industry and business awards to EY and Gold Coast women in business award. These achievements are a testament to our entire team's hard work and dedication and a 

6. **Adaptability, Flexibility and Growth:**  We have never shied away from change. Whether reconfiguring the way in which some treatments have been historically been delivered, bringing services that were previously only available to the rich and famous, to the every day person, to rebranding to Ultimate Skin and Body after selling the franchise to continuously evolving our service offerings, we’ve embraced change as an opportunity for growth. 

7. **Education & Transparency: It has always been important to me to educate our clients on skincare, preventative treatments, and overall wellness. There IS  a correlation between  how you look and how you feel and we help our clients to look and feel their best self. We believe that it essential that clients are fully informed about their treatments and we strive to understand promise and over-deliver - this has been central to our unrivalled success. 

So what’s next? 

We are currently looking to expand our team and service offerings and would be interested in hearing from practitioners who feel they could align with our services. With over 30,000 clients, we are interested in hearing from Dermatologists, Skin Cancer doctors, and others aligned to aesthetics.
