Meet our highly trained team at Ultimate Aesthetics.
Led by Dr Carolyn Choy, our talented team of highly trained Cosmetic Doctors, Cosmetic Nurses and Skin and Beauty Therapists are deeply invested in getting every one of our clients their desired results.
Dr. Carolyn Choy
Founder / Senior Cosmetic Doctor
MBBS (UWA) FRACGP, Dip CH, Dip FPA WA
Founder of Ultimate Aesthetics, Dr Carolyn Choy graduated in medicine from the University of Western Australia more than 20 years ago and in that time has devoted herself to being a General Practitioner and Cosmetic Physician.
During her early days treating in the hospital, Carolyn realised just how much she loved all aspects of medicine and working with her hands. Shortly after she moved from the hospital to the emergency and surgical departments, and then pursued and attained her first Fellowship in General Practice.
Over the years she continued with further education and moved beyond general practice, understanding that there was a real need to support women in feeling their absolute best, in a society where disempowerment was common.
And this was how Ultimate Aesthetics was born in 2011!
Dr. Carolyn and her team now specialise in minor, non-invasive cosmetic procedures that focus on helping patients see how beautiful they really are, from within.
Feeling beautiful allows us all to connect more easily to joy, life and all if its possibilities.
She has continued to grow and learn and has since attained a second Fellowship as a Fellow of the Cosmetic Physician Collage of Australia.
In addition, Dr. Carolyn attends yearly conferences and maintains professional development wherever possible.
At Ultimate Aesthetics we believe in the greatest effect of natural looking beauty or as we say “believable beauty.”
