About

About Dr Umed Cosmetics, a Doctor-Led Skin and Aesthetic Clinic on the Gold Coast

Who we are

Dr Umed Cosmetics is a doctor-led clinic on the Gold Coast providing skin cancer checks, skin cancer care, and non-surgical aesthetic and skin treatments. The clinic is led by Dr Umed Shekhawat, a Specialist General Practitioner with more than 20 years in medical practice, and treatments are delivered by registered medical practitioners, registered nurses and dermal therapists.

Every treatment begins with a consultation and clinical assessment. Suitability is assessed individually, and not everyone who enquires will be suitable for the treatment they had in mind.

What doctor-led means at our clinic

Doctor-led means the clinic operates under the clinical oversight of a registered medical practitioner rather than as a beauty or salon service. In practice, this means:
  • All practitioners who deliver clinical care hold current registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra). Registration numbers are published on this page so you can verify each of them on the Ahpra public register.
  • Consultation and assessment happen before treatment, not alongside it.
  • Where a concern falls outside our scope, we will tell you and, where appropriate, refer you.
  • Where a treatment is not clinically appropriate for you, we will say so.

Our two areas of practice

Aesthetic and skin treatments

The clinic also provides non-surgical aesthetic treatments and a range of skin treatments including energy-based and device-based skin rejuvenation, professional skin peels and skin therapy programmes.

Australian advertising law restricts what a clinic may publish about certain treatments, particularly those involving prescription medicines. For that reason, some treatment options can only be discussed with you during a consultation. This is a legal requirement, not a marketing choice.

Our team is dedicated to continually developing their skills to ensure they deliver up-to-date techniques.  Our clinics offer a range of skin care products and technology for all skin types, alongside a full range of non-surgical cosmetic procedures.

We endeavour to provide suitable treatment options for each clients, ensuring all questions and concerns are thoroughly addressed before any treatment. Guided by our commitment to high standards of care, we follow established protocols while continually improving our services to enhance the client experience. We also provide ongoing follow-up and support to ensure our clients are well cared for after the treatment.

Skin cancer checks and skin cancer care

Dr Umed holds a Diploma in Skin Cancer Medicine and a Diploma in Dermoscopy, and the clinic provides skin checks, clinical assessment of lesions, dermoscopy, biopsy where appropriate, and treatment or referral depending on findings. A skin check is a clinical examination. It does not guarantee that every skin cancer will be identified, and it does not reduce your future risk. Regular checks, at an interval your practitioner recommends for you, are how skin changes are monitored over time. Read more about skin cancer checks and treatment.

How a consultation works

A first consultation usually covers:
  1. Your concern, your goals, and what has or has not worked for you previously.
  2. Relevant medical history, medications, allergies and past procedures.
  3. Clinical examination of the area of concern.
  4. A discussion of the options that may be appropriate for you, including doing nothing.
  5. The likely benefits, the risks and possible side effects, the recovery involved, the number of sessions that may be recommended, and the cost.
  6. Time to consider the information before deciding.
You are under no obligation to proceed with treatment after a consultation, and you are welcome to seek a second opinion.

What we can and cannot tell you about treatment

We think this section matters more than anything else on this page.
  • Results vary between individuals. Two people having the same treatment can have different outcomes. We cannot predict yours and we will not guarantee one.
  • Not everyone is suitable. Medical history, medications, skin type, the area involved and your expectations all affect suitability.
  • All procedures carry risk. Side effects and complications are possible with any clinical procedure, including procedures described as minimally invasive. Your practitioner will discuss the risks relevant to you before you consent.
  • Some treatments involve recovery time. This will be explained to you before you decide, not after.
  • Cost is discussed at consultation. Pricing depends on the assessment and on what is clinically appropriate for you.
  • Age matters. Non-surgical cosmetic procedures for patients under 18 are subject to additional legal requirements, including assessment and a mandatory cooling-off period.
  • If you are unhappy. Speak with us first so we can address it. You also have the right to raise a concern with Ahpra or with the Office of the Health Ombudsman in Queensland at any time.
