I traveled from Sydney to see Davin for three appointments, and would do it all again in a heartbeat. Davin represents the ideal in surgical management of acne scarring in all facets possible; he is empathetic, incredibly well-informed, provides realistic expectations from day dot and tailor makes each and every treatment to the individual. Davin's impeccable standard of care in my treatment not only has given me skin I can now look at and value, but also has played a crucial role in reshaping my thinking about my skin and steering away from the unattainable ideal of 'perfect'. 

If you are coming to Davin, or any health professional for that matter, with the ultimate goal of perfection, I'm afraid you'll never be satisfied. It has taken some work for me to change this mindset, and continues to; particularly with a long- running history of acne, scarring and skin that I never saw as "good enough". Come, however, with an open mind, trust and hope for a realistic degree of improvement, and I can guarantee your expectations will be exceeded. I could not recommend Davin enough. Thank you again for allowing me to look at my reflection and smile :)

Progress images as requested- please find attached my before images with angled lighting (first two images), images following my first treatment (following three images) and pre-final treatment (final three images). My management was also paired with following a new acne regime to prevent the development of new scars owing to my skin type.

I’m also from Sydney and looking to travel to see Dr Lim about acne scarring. Can I ask whether you did a first consult and flew back later for the treatments or did you stay for a few days for the first consult to also try and squeeze in a treatment in the same trip? Thank you

Hi @msqueenie_oz - great question! The protocols and procedures for interstate patients may have changed slightly because Dr Lim now works through a different clinic, but in my case they still tried to squeeze some preliminary treatment in to the first visit. So it was both an initial consult and some initial laser and then I straight away booked in for my follow-up laser appointments at the end of the initial appointment. Your time is valued as someone who has travelled a sizeable distance to be there so in my experience they tried to do as much as possible from day dot. Hope this helps!
