Dr. Gavin Chan

MBBS, General Registration (MED0001175745)

Dr Gavin Chan is a medical practitioner who founded the Victorian Cosmetic Institute in 2004. With over two decades of clinical experience, he has focused his practice on non-surgical approaches to skin ageing, including cosmetic injectables, laser resurfacing, skin rejuvenation, and liposuction. His approach prioritises natural-looking outcomes, patient safety, and long-term skin health.

Earlier in his career, Dr Chan was a trainer for cosmetic pharmaceutical companies, gaining deep technical knowledge of aesthetic products and procedures. This experience gave him valuable insight into both the benefits and limitations of industry-promoted treatments. Today, he chooses to remain independent of commercial affiliations and is a strong advocate for ethical, evidence-based practice.

With a strong patient base built on word-of-mouth, clinical results, and long-standing relationships, Dr Chan has earned a reputation for transparency, integrity, and technical precision.

As Medical Director, he leads the training and development of doctors at the Victorian Cosmetic Institute, ensuring the team remains at the forefront of the field. He also hosts the Institute’s YouTube channel, where he shares detailed educational content on cosmetic treatments. His aim is to empower patients with clear, unbiased information — cutting through marketing hype and common misconceptions.

Dr Chan is committed to raising industry standards and fostering a culture where cosmetic treatments are used thoughtfully, safely, and with integrity.
