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 />

cosmetic doctor.<br />

HOW DID YOU BEGIN<br />

YOUR CAREER IN THE<br />

AESTHETICS INDUSTRY?<br />

I’ve always been very interested in<br />

aesthetics but didn’t pursue a career in<br />

the industry until after I began working<br />

in General Practice in 2002.<br />

In my role at a suburban practice,<br />

I ended up treating a lot of patients<br />

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

enjoyed it, so I began developing my<br />

skills and knowledge in the area.<br />

Around the same time, I decided<br />

to pursue my interest in aesthetics as<br />

well, so I began training in cosmetic<br />

injectables. It wasn’t easy, but I<br />

gradually established my career as<br />

a GP specialising in skin cancer<br />

and a cosmetic GP by working as a<br />

contractor between two clinics.<br />

After working this way for many<br />

years – while also completing my<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 />
