Dr Helena Rosengren has worked in skin cancer medicine since 2004, establishing the Skin Repair Skin Cancer Clinic in 2009. She holds a master's degree in medicine and is a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and the Skin Cancer College of Australasia. With a keen interest in skin cancer research, she has published a number of skin cancer research papers in medical journals and is the chair of the research committee for the Skin Cancer College of Australasia.
Passionate about teaching, Dr Rosengren is a senior lecturer at James Cook University, provides in-house extended skills training in skin cancer medicine for doctors, teaches at skin cancer workshops all over Australia, and is invited to deliver lectures at skin cancer conferences overseas. Her knowledge and expertise won her a seat on the working party that developed the new skin cancer guidelines for Australia published in 2019.
With encouragement from patients for holistic cosmetic care (given her eye for detail and engaging manner) Dr Rosengren opened our sister clinic - Skinovation Cosmetic Clinic - in 2017 to provide niche services with an emphasis on natural-looking cosmetic outcomes.
She completed her general practice training in the UK and immigrated to Australia in 1994.
