DR MONIQUE FLORES, THE FOUNDER<br />
OF TOWNSVILLE’S LEADING SKIN CLINIC<br />
NORTHERN SKIN STUDIO, REVEALS HOW<br />
SHE HAS COMBINED HER PASSION FOR<br />
SKIN CANCER MEDICINE AND AESTHETIC<br />
TREATMENTS TO CREATE A UNIQUE COSMETIC<br />
CLINIC FOR SUN-LOVING AUSTRALIANS.<br />
After 17 years treating patients<br />
in Townsville, one of the<br />
hottest cities in Australia with<br />
an average maximum of 29 degrees,<br />
Dr Monique Flores knows more than<br />
most about skin cancer and aesthetic<br />
treatments. Here she shares with<br />
us her journey from local GP to<br />

the industry until after I began working<br />
in General Practice in 2002.<br />

with skin cancer and found that I really<br />

skills and knowledge in the area.<br />
Around the same time, I decided<br />

and a cosmetic GP by working as a<br />
contractor between two clinics.<br />

Masters in Skin Cancer Medicine and<br />
numerous aesthetic treatment courses<br />
– I decided the time was finally right<br />
to open my own clinic.<br />
TELL US A LITTLE<br />
ABOUT NORTHERN SKIN<br />
STUDIO?<br />
I opened Northern Skin Studio in<br />
2014 offering just three main services<br />
– skin cancer diagnosis/treatments,<br />
advanced skin therapy (eg, laser<br />
treatments) and cosmetic injectables.<br />
