Ageing of the face is often associated with dull skin, brown marks, red veins and wrinkles. Most of these changes occur as a result of sun exposure over many years.

A person usually does not realise that they grind their teeth in their sleep. The partner who shares their bed and hears the grinding noises at night is often the first to notice the problem. Teeth grinding can be a result of stress. Some people grind their teeth when they are angry, concentrating or feeling anxious.
Attractive female role models portrayed in the media usually conform to the universal image of beauty: flawless skin, wide eyes, high cheek bones, full lips and a slender jawline. Having a square jaw caused by having a bulky muscle mass over the angle of the jaw (mandible), is frequently perceived as masculine by some females, and is more common in those of Asian descent.
Skin sags and becomes loose due to loss of volume from underlying tissues (age, weight loss), loss of skin tone (age, sun damage) or loss of muscle tone (injury or disease). While surgery may be an option, it may not be desirable, practical or appropriate, and non-surgical options may be sought. Lasers, light sources and radio-frequency devices may be used to produce a gradual contracting effect on skin and deeper tissues.
Chronic migraine sufferers experience debilitating headaches that can cause intense pulsing or throbbing pain, occurring on more than half the month and lasting for hours, greatly affecting work, family and social life. Migraines affect more women than men, and are often accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.

Dr Tan is very friendly and down to earth. Her clinic is spotlessly clean. If you are thinking of having fillers or Botox I highly recommend her because she is a Medical Doctor so she knows what she is doing. This is a very professional service. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

I have been seeing Dr Tan for 14 years. I was extremely cautious about having BOTOX administered by anyone less than a qualified doctor so Christina’s qualifications give me great peace of mind. The clinic itself is always immaculate. She very clearly talked me through the procedure explaining the details of the product itself and how it was to be administered. Her style is very natural so she insisted in starting with a small dose and working up gradually over the years in order to achieve and maintain a natural look. In all this time she has remained professional and courteous and has never

I have been seeing Christina for many years. She is always professional, understanding and happy to give advice and address my concerns. I first met her as a GP, so I know her hygiene practises and medical knowledge is solid and I trust her to guide me if I’m unsure about treatment. Highly recommended.

Great customer service in a professional, clinical setting. Dr. Christina is honest, extremely hygienic and uses best practice. Minimal bruising, virtually no swelling and her technique with anti-wrinkle and fillers is so smooth you barely feel! Designs your whole face and makes great recommendations and has a vibrant personality which distracts you from any pain! Had the best experience at this place today Thankyou Dr. Christina.
