CLINIC CLOSED PERMANENTLY
This clinic closed its’ doors on Friday 13 December 2024
(Previous update 7 February 2025. This update 2 May 2025 )
In July 2022 our practitioner Moree Coburn semi-retired and the clinic progressively reduced the number of patients treated and also reduced its’ business hours to just being open from Wednesday to Friday each week.
We sold our premises in October 24 on a long settlement period and so we commenced the arduous task of contacting and notifying existing patients that Moree, who is now 78 years of age, is fully retiring and the business itself will close completely and permanently on Friday 13 December 2024.
Since early November 24 we sent numerous emails to patients on our database (containing thousands of existing patients )who were currently in treatment (over the previous 12 months) as well as to others who had dealt with us during the year.
Patients who responded with their transfer of recent treatment history authorities have been referred on a patient-by-patient basis to another practitioner who has taken patients on in her own business and at her own premises.
That practitioner has similar training to Moree and has access to most of the same medicines and topical products which our patients have been accustomed to during our 31 year business history.
Going forwards, we can no longer post orders to existing patients as stock that we had “left over”, has now been reallocated, we no longer have access to eftpos/credit card or despatching facilities.
Our clinic phone number 9522 2540 has been diverted to a voicemail system and is not monitored in real time.
As it has now been 6 months since we commenced winding down the business and more than 4 months since we officially closed up, we recommend that you contact the replacement practitioner and recommence your past treatment directly with her. She conducts consultations via PHONE, ONLINE or personal visits.
Here are her contact details:

————————————————————————————
We previously provided skin treatment services to the community for almost 25 years (since 2000) from our clinic location at Sylvania in Sydney, after having also been located at 6 other locations previously (NOW CLOSED).
Moree Coburn was our Senior Practitioner and was also an original owner of this business since 1994. She practiced Complementary Dermatology¹.
Moree has assisted thousands of people to get their various skin conditions under control through our centre here in Sydney. This business practiced the exclusive and outstanding protocols and prescribed the naturally-based “Practitioner Only” medicines and topical products of Professor Michael Tirant² .
Skin conditions treated by this clinic included Psoriasis, Eczema, Dermatitis, Rosacea, Acne, Ichthyosis, Pityriasis, Urticaria (hives), Fungal and Nail conditions, Granuloma Annulare and many more.
CLICK HERE for our Dealing with Children page
Although all our practitioners have current registration under the “Dealing with Children” code, our business stand has been for many years that we generally did not treat children under approximately 5 years of age.
However, commencing 1 Oct 2022 our policy changed and although we continued to treat children under 18 years of age who were still in current treatment, we no longer commenced treatment with new patients under 18 years of age and may not have reactivated treatment with previous patients who were still under 18 years of age. (See our policy HERE)
We dealt with the TRIGGERS, which activate and exacerbate episodes, and which are diet, hormonal, stress and lifestyle-related. We also supported the immune system and treated the symptoms using oral “Practitioner-Only” medicines and topical products.
Our primary focus was on breaking the stimulus – symptom cycle. This is achieved by supporting the immune system and other bodily systems to assist with healing of the symptoms as we aim for long-term remission from symptoms.
Unless that cycle is broken, skin condition symptoms continue to resist healing because new lesions come up as fast as the noticeable symptoms are removed with some other skin treatment methods.
The skin treatment protocols that we used have stood the test of time as they are based upon sound scientific principles relating to nutritional and evidence-based natural medicine³.
What Do We Do?
How we treat Skin Conditions
Our treatment of skin conditions is based upon the premise that dealing with the triggers, as well as dietary and stress factors is integral to the successful treatment of skin conditions long-term.
Histamine inducing factors due to allergic responses to certain stimuli resulting from the intake of specific foods, types of foods and other external stimuli, are the primary causative factors of skin condition symptom break-outs.
If only the symptoms are dealt with, by just using creams, other ointments, lotions etc, without due consideration of the causative factors of skin conditions, such as genetic predispositions as well as the many diet and lifestyle factors, it’s a little like only playing with “half the deck” !
All the oral medicines that we use to treat skin conditions are effective in helping patients to break the stimulus – symptom cycle, and are TGA Listed Nutritional Medicines (have Aust-L numbers).
Topical products (creams, ointments, gels, lotions etc) prescribed by us are generally pleasant to use, and just like the oral medicines, contain no dangerous, or addictive chemical substances. They are considered safe for dermatological use, especially on sensitive skin.
What Sort of Success Do Our Patients Experience?
Although many skin conditions are incurable, our treatment targets the triggers and the symptoms. A great number of patients have had considerable success with our treatment protocols. Subsequent to successful treatment, numerous patients choose to then refer their family, friends and other people to us.
See our 3 testimonials pages (all comments are verifiable):
Testimonials 1 – Testimonials 2 – Testimonials 3
While Psoriasis and some cases of Eczema/Dermatitis are incurable, many types of Eczema symptoms are fully resolvable. When the condition is incurable, it is because in these cases the skin condition is auto-immune based and therefore genetic in origin. Our minimum dermatological goal is to assist our patients to significantly reduce or clear up their skin condition symptoms, and attain long-term remission !
The medicines (tablets, Creams, Ointments etc) that we provide to patients of the clinic, and the skin treatment protocols by which we prescribe those products, are the result of 3 decades of extensive research, trials and clinical experience.¹
The protocols that we use are designed to provide nutritional support for patients to help reduce the occurrence of skin condition symptoms, and to help de-sensitize patients to the secondary triggers, ( diet, lifestyle, hormonal and chemical factors) which act to exacerbate many skin conditions.

Is Psoriasis incurable ?
Yes, Psoriasis is incurable as it is a genetic, auto-immune condition (in other words, one which confuses self with non-self and the body attempts to shed its own skin at a faster rate).
Our aim is to assist patients into a long-term remission state where they just don’t get the symptoms on a regular basis anymore. While many patients are able to heavily reduce their symptoms down to manageable levels, others are able to completely clear the symptoms for varying periods of time.
Is Eczema Dermatitis incurable ?
In many cases we can assist patients to clear up Eczema or Dermatitis symptoms, but some types of Eczema are genetically-based and are therefore incurable, however patients regularly experience high levels of success with the protocols that we utilise to either heavily reduce or even to completely clear up Eczema symptoms at that time.
Is Rosacea incurable?
Once again, Rosacea can have genetic influences which act as causative factors, and so, although we commonly heavily reduce symptoms in patients using the protocols and products, others have cleared up their Rosacea symptoms, while others again may only achieve long-term remission of their Rosacea – meaning that the symptoms totally clear up at that time for an indefinite period.
