THE VAE TEAM
DR JEMMA BUULTJENS
MBBS, FRACGP
As a Doctor I bring to my clients my background in General Practice, which I think is fundamental to optimising aesthetics and ensuring ageing is graceful. Beauty and anti-aging requires a thoughtful, tailored and wholistic approach and an understanding that aesthetics and wellness are intrinsically linked. I am very much inspired by the movement from both the public and our regulatory bodies to consider cosmetic work as medical in nature and VAE is committed to upholding the highest of standards, focusing on evidence based and safe treatments.
I have a perspective that wellness and beauty are a simplistic and almost forgotten art in our modern world. To approach caring thoughtfully about ones interior health while simultaneously appreciating the most luxurious indulgences is what I hope to bring to VAE clients. I hope to offer bespoke treatments and care and I will work with you to achieve glowing skin, rejuvenation and overall health.
I am a member of The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. I have a Bachelor of Medicine | Bachelor of Surgery from University of Notre Dame and Bachelor of Health Sciences Griffith University. I am enrolled in the advanced diploma in Aesthetic Medicine through Health Cert.
