Dr Kaur is passionate about educating on the importance of safe, effective, and culturally sensitive aesthetic treatments for Skin of Colour. Skin physiology and response to treatments can vary significantly across different skin tones, and without specialist knowledge, there is a higher risk of complications such as hyperpigmentation, keloid scarring, or post-inflammatory reactions.
