Dr. Mark Kearns isn’t your average cosmetic doctor. He’s the kind of person who blends his GP expertise with a keen eye for aesthetics, and tops it off with a genuine care for his patients. As one of the top doctors at Dr Face in Melbourne, Dr. Kearns is known for his down-to-earth vibe, honesty, and a knack for helping people look their best without overdoing it. Let’s dive into his story, his approach, and why patients choose him!
Inspired to Join the Aesthetic Medicine Revolution
Sometimes, inspiration strikes in the most unexpected ways. For Dr. Kearns, it happened when he was working as a GP and noticed something that stuck with him. “When I first started my GP practice, I was observing a cosmetic nurse treating patients, and I saw just how much better they felt afterward,” he recalls. “And let’s be honest, when you’ve had a few treatments yourself, it’s something you naturally get drawn to!”
This experience planted a seed that led Dr. Kearns to dive into aesthetic medicine. He saw it as an opportunity to help people feel good about themselves, and to combine his medical expertise with a bit of artistry.
What It’s Like to Have Dr. Kearns as Your Doctor
Visiting Dr. Kearns isn’t your typical clinic experience. He’s all about putting patients at ease and getting to know what they’re really looking for during their professional skin consultation. “I always start by asking what brought the patient to our clinic,” he explains. “What part of themselves is making them feel self-conscious, or where do they want to feel fresher?”
And here’s the best part: “Sometimes, it’s not even about a treatment—it’s about reassurance. I often let patients know that a specific line or concern doesn’t actually need anything done!” It’s this kind of transparency that patients appreciate, knowing they can count on Dr. Kearns to give them honest advice.
Keeping Up with the Latest Trends in Cosmetic Medicine
In the ever-changing world of aesthetics, Dr. Kearns keeps his finger on the pulse. “I love our monthly doctor’s meetings where we dive into all the new advancements in skincare and aesthetics,” he shares. “We look at everything with an open mind, focusing on what really offers our patients the best value, safety, and results.”
This dedication to staying up-to-date means patients at Dr Face get access to the latest treatments without the hype—just the real, evidence-based stuff that works.
What Sets Dr Face Apart?
So what’s the secret sauce at Dr Face? According to Dr. Kearns, it’s all about integrity and quality. “We’re really dedicated to only keeping products and treatments that we know work and are safe for our clients,” he says. “We don’t believe in upselling products that don’t have enough evidence behind them or won’t help our patients achieve their goals.”
The result? A clinic that’s built on trust, with patients knowing they’re getting the best personalised care possible without any unnecessary extras.
The Plant-Loving, Cycling Doctor
When he’s not in the clinic, Dr. Kearns has a pretty cool life outside of work. “I love plants—I have over 130 in my apartment!” he says with a grin. He’s also big on cycling and chooses to bike to work every day. “I still don’t have a car, even after 13 years in Australia!” he admits.
But that’s not all. Dr. Kearns is also learning Spanish in his spare time. “I’m really looking forward to being able to chat with some of my patients in Spanish,” he says with genuine excitement.
Passionate About Effective Aesthetic Medicine Innovations
Dr. Kearns is all about embracing change and innovation in the industry. “We’re dedicated to evidence-based aesthetic medicine, but we’re also really excited about trying new innovations,” he says. “It’s great to be part of an industry that’s growing and becoming more accepted by both women and men. Tailoring treatments for each patient really is the future—we’re in it together!”
The Perfect Mix of Art and Science
Aesthetic medicine isn’t just about science—it’s an art, and Dr. Kearns nails the balance between the two. “Balancing technical ability with an artistic eye doesn’t just take talent and passion—it takes years of experience!” he says. “Over the years, it’s become second nature for me, and I really feel that my background in art from college before training as a GP has helped me maintain a creative eye—and a steady hand!”
It’s this blend of technical know-how and artistic flair that allows Dr. Kearns to create results that are natural and beautifully balanced.
Giving Back and Making a Difference
Dr. Kearns isn’t just a doctor—he’s someone who cares about giving back to the community. One cause he’s particularly passionate about is the Salvation Army, which he supports through donations. “It’s just a way to give back and support the good work they do,” he says.
