A NEW chapter in expert skin care begins with the opening of neoSKN Dermatology & Laser, a specialist clinic offering advanced treatment programs for acne, rosacea, pigmentation and skin rejuvenation in Coffs Harbour.
Founded by Dr Jessica Bale and Dr Rashi Malesu, Fellows of the Australasian College of Dermatologists and directors of the highly regarded Hunter Coast Dermatology & Laser in Newcastle, neoSKN brings evidence-based, integrated care to a region long underserved in specialist dermatology services.
“We have seen outstanding outcomes through our advanced programs in Newcastle – combining medical expertise with targeted laser therapies,” says Dr Bale.
“By expanding to Coffs Harbour, we’re bringing that same proven care model to the Mid North Coast to increase access to high-quality, specialist-led skin care.”
neoSKN offers a full range of services, including:
● Dermatologist-led programs for acne, rosacea, and skin rejuvenation
● Advanced proprietary protocols that combine medical therapy with advanced medical grade laser technologies
● Supportive care delivered by an experienced team of nurses under dermatology supervision
“Many patients in regional areas have limited access to specialist treatments. Our goal is to bridge that gap,” adds Dr Malesu.
“We’re passionate about providing patients with long-term solutions that go beyond symptom control – especially in complex skin conditions like acne and rosacea where inflammation, oil production and scarring all need to be addressed together.”
The clinic will also host educational sessions for GPs and practice nurses beginning in 2026, supporting broader community awareness around skin health.
neoSKN welcomes GP referrals for patients, with fast-tracked triage available for urgent cases.
