Plastic Surgery AND Advanced Skin Treatments.

ASFB Plastic Surgery, Skin & Laser Clinics.

Australian Skin Face Body (ASFB) is a holistic destination dedicated to nurturing skin health with expertise and care. Offering Plastic Surgery, Skin and Laser Treatments, as well as skin cancer detection and treatment services, it stands as a comprehensive practice for overall skin wellness.

Founded by plastic surgeon Mr Ian Holten, the clinic embodies a holistic philosophy, providing personalised guidance and support to address individual skin concerns and goals. Honesty and realism are valued virtues at ASFB, guiding the team in delivering natural and achievable results tailored to each patient’s needs.

The inspiration behind the establishment of Australian Skin Face Body lies in the belief that skin health is integral to overall well-being. Ian Holten envisioned a comprehensive destination where both surgical and non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments could be offered under one roof. ASFB Skin & Laser Clinics were thus established to complement the clinic’s plastic and cosmetic surgery services, with clinics now spanning across regional Victoria.

Australian Skin Face Body is distinguished by its collaborative approach and commitment to excellence. ASFB clinics boast a skilled team of surgeons, doctors, nurses, and University qualified dermal clinicians working together. Continuous training and education ensure that patients receive the latest advancements in aesthetic treatments and technologies, positioning the clinic at the forefront of skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing solutions.
