Minnamurra Medi-Spa is a professional skin care clinic offering nurse delivered care to the discerning patient. Our treatments are positioned between that of a beauty therapist and a specialist doctor. Kathleen has a fine eye for detail and delivers a very high standard of care.
Kathleen is a Clinical Nurse Specialist with nursing experience spanning 13 years. During this time she has worked in Royal North Shore hospital as a Clinical Nurse Specialist, and as a Nurse Consultant with a range of Sydney’s top cosmetic general practitioners, specialist plastic surgeons, and most recently a renowned Wollongong Dermatologist.
Kathleen’s focus is to use techniques to reveal subtle, natural looking results with minimal downtime.
The Sciton BBL (Broad Band Light) is a medical grade BBL machine, which in the hands of an experienced practitioner, maximises your results and safety.
The Sciton BBL offers a multitude of wavelengths energy levels, and pulse durations, which can be adjusted to suit your skin and target particular concerns. The light energy absorbs into the unwanted target in your skin (such as freckles, redness, capillaries, pimples, fine lines, enlarged pores, or hair). More than one wavelength, along with multiple passes, may be used during your treatment sessions, to target address your concern/s.

Yes we do, you will first have a full consultation with an experienced Doctor, then Kathleen will additionally consult and treatment can begin as appropriate.
Kathleen’s approach is ” less is more”, using the smallest amounts possible, reducing expense, and giving you beautiful natural looking results. Kathleen is not a fan of big lips, a frozen face, or that BoToxed look!

Downtime refers to possible swelling, discoloration or short term effects associated with some of the treatments available at Minnamurra MediSpa. Many treatments have minimal or no downtime. Some treatments which target deep into the skin can result in short term swelling or dis-colouration of the treatment area. Downtime can be minimised with a reduced intensity of treatment, however to achieve a particular result, additional treatments may be required.
Kathleen will explain the treatment options available and any associated downtime at the time of the initial consultation.
