About SAACD
We want to represent cosmetic medical practitioners in a unified manner, to maintain standards in cosmetic medicine, to be a channel for ongoing education and to act as a support network for members.
We will strive for excellence in efficacy and safety in cosmetic medicine, the delivery of appropriate and well explained care to patients, and access to adequate training in new techniques as they are developed.
We recognise this field of medicine is unregulated. We will endeavour to provide open access to information, so that patients can easily source appropriately trained and experienced doctors.
The association intends to drive cosmetic medicine forwards, to reduce unwarranted and undesirable aspects of its reputation and gain the respect enjoyed by all specialised branches of medicine.

Rochelle firmly believes in the power of a good skincare regimen, especially when started at home, and is committed to educating consumers about the myriad of treatments, procedures, and products available to them.
