About Us
OUR DRIVE TO IMPROVE SKIN HEALTH IS MORE THAN REFINING ITS APPEARANCE. IT IS ABOUT IMPROVING CLIENTS SELF-ESTEEM AND CONFIDENCE.
Karen Bowen established her award-winning clinic in 1983.
After 36 years in the industry Karen has completed extensive studies in cosmetic dermal science, and interacts with a number of highly qualified professionals within the skin and medical industries.
Karen’s passion for skin health developed from her first job within a pharmacy. She became fascinated with the anatomy of the skin and how science can be used to improve both its health and appearance.
Karen has always had a close working relationship with both pharmacists and doctors throughout her working career and this is what initially led her into the field of dermal therapies.
After completing her studies at the Australian Academy of Cosmetic Dermal Science Karen was awarded a Vocational Graduate Certificate of Dermal Therapies and Cosmetic Dermal Science and she is now continuing her Post Graduate studies.
These studies have also led her to become an accredited IPL/Laser Safety Officer.
Karen has endeavoured to provide a holistic approach to skin health. Having completed extensive dermal studies, Karen's belief is that the most effective approach to achieving healthy skin is providing a successful combination of high quality professional treatments, effective dermal skin products and working with her clients to improve internal well-being such as gut health. Studies show that there is a direct correlation between our internal body health and our skin.
Throughout her career Karen has spent time studying in Australia, US, France and Germany, and had the great privilege of training and learning alongside world recognised doctors, including Dermatologist Dr Mitchel Goldman, the inventor of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
In Perth, Karen works in collaboration with a number of cosmetic surgeons, plastic surgeons, dermatologists and pharmacists, continuously extending her knowledge regarding the advancements within the beauty and skin industry.
Over the years both Karen and her K|B Skin Clinic have won over 30 awards in recognition of the staffs dedication and the professional services provided by the clinic to its clients.
