Facial Impressions · Avalon Beach · Est. 1985
Skin health.
Expert care.
One clinic.
Facial Impressions has been part of Avalon Beach since 1985. It is a skin health clinic combining advanced facial treatments, light-based technologies, naturopathic skin support and body therapies under one roof on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.
About the clinic
Facial Impressions was established in Avalon Beach in 1985 and has been owned by Kim for 25 years. The clinic sits at 4 and 6, 51 Old Barrenjoey Road, across two adjoining spaces that house the full range of skin health, beauty and wellness services offered under the Facial Impressions name.
What distinguishes Facial Impressions from a standard beauty salon is the clinical depth of the team and the breadth of treatments available in one place. Skin can be addressed topically through professional treatments, and from within through naturopathic consultation. Both happen under the same roof, often with the same practitioner.
The clinic uses professional-grade technology including HIFU, IPL and SHR light-based systems, LPG Endermologie, LED light therapy, and Sothys professional skincare. Every client receives a consultation before treatment to ensure the most appropriate approach is taken for their skin and health history.
Facial Impressions is a Sustainable Salon, and 95% of resources used during treatments are diverted from landfill through the Sustainable Salons programme. We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint as part of how we operate.
Naturopathic skin health
Kim's dual background as a qualified Clinical Naturopath and senior beauty therapist means Facial Impressions can address skin health from two directions at once: topically through professional treatments, and internally through naturopathic consultation.
Clients managing persistent or recurring skin concerns, such as acne, sensitivity, hormonal skin changes or pigmentation, can work with Kim to explore the internal factors that may be driving what they see on the surface. This conversation happens in the same clinic, often alongside their existing treatment programme.
Kim is a registered member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS) and holds advanced diplomas in naturopathy, western herbal medicine and integrative natural health.
