Meet Your Skin Specialists

  • MELISSA DRURY

    Founder and Director

    Melissa Drury is our clinic founder and director, having worked as a nurse across the UK, Sydney and Sunshine Coast for more than 30 years. Before opening her MD Cosmetic and Skin Clinic to pursue her passion for cosmetics and skin full-time, Melissa worked in specialty areas, including midwifery, plastic surgery and burns. Melissa’s medical background was a steppingstone into cosmetics. Founding her clinic meant Melissa could utilise her keen eye for symmetry and love of both science and art, using advanced techniques, products and devices to create beauty and enhance confidence.

    One of Melissa’s favourite treatment is the A-list facial, which taps into Australian lime caviar enzyme’s healing properties, combined with a rose or gold mask and LED therapy for soft and plump skin. A close second is BroadBand Light (BBL) technology, a diverse and effective treatment that dramatically improves a host of skin issues. Mel has seen many treatments and technologies come and go, but the dramatic results from BBL treatment are unlike anything the industry has seen before.
