About

Specialist care, grounded in evidence and ethics

I am a Specialist Dermatologist and Fellow of the Australasian College of Dermatologists. I completed my medical training at Monash University and my Dermatology Fellowship in Victoria. Seeing a real gap for a holistic approach to dermatological treatment, I founded Skindepth Dermatology, and we have since branched out into aesthetics with Skindepth Cosmetic.

I believe proper skin care relies on continuity of care across medical, surgical and cosmetic treatment, so each patient receives complete, well-coordinated care in one place.

Evidence first

What drives me is the belief that skin health is part of overall health and wellbeing, and that every patient deserves care grounded in evidence.

Care that fits your life

Whether managing a complex medical condition or planning a cosmetic treatment, I focus on clear explanations, realistic expectations and treatment plans that fit each patient's life.

Beyond the clinic

Outside the clinic, I share practical, evidence-based skin education through conference presentations and on social media at @dralicerudd

Clinical practice

Founder of Skindepth Cosmetic & Skindepth Dermatology

Skindepth Dermatology

Skindepth Dermatology is where I offer specialist skin care that is thorough, evidence-based and personal. With clinics in Melbourne and Perth, brings I treat the full range of skin conditions, from acne, eczema and psoriasis to skin cancer and complex medical dermatology.

Women's health

I have a particular interest in women's health, including the skin changes that can come with perimenopause and menopause. Together with gynaecologist Dr Felicity Gould, I run the Skindepth vulva clinic, a quarterly women's health clinic for vulval conditions that brings gynaecological and dermatological expertise together.

Skindepth Cosmetic

Skindepth Cosmetic brings the same medical rigour to cosmetic and procedural dermatology. My philosophy is simple: less is often more. I favour subtle, gradual treatments that respect each person’s features and let them look like themselves, only fresher and well rested. Every recommendation is grounded in evidence, and I am honest with patients about what a treatment can and cannot do. I employ a combination of energy based devices, cosmetic enhancements and skincare to maximise my patients results.

Speaking and advocacy

Raising the standard of aesthetic practice

I speak at conferences and professional meetings on safety, complication management and ethics in cosmetic dermatology. My recent work examines how live injecting demonstrations are governed at aesthetic conferences, and whether there are better and safer ways to teach.

Regional Victoria

A long-term commitment to North East Victoria

For the past 12 years I have travelled to Mansfield in North East Victoria to provide specialist dermatology care to regional communities, so patients can see a dermatologist closer to home without the long trip to Melbourne. Patients travel to see me in Mansfield from across the region, including Benalla, Wangaratta, Euroa and Seymour.
