Dr Cattin has 18 years’ experience in cosmetic medicine, is past President of the New Zealand College of Appearance Medicine and regularly invited to speak at international conferences.
Dr Cattin is also a physician trainer, teaching other doctors in New Zealand, Australia, Japan and India how to use Botox and dermal fillers. Teresa has been a Member of the Botox Advisory Board of Australasia since 2001 and a Member of the Juvederm Advisory Board since 2006.

Teresa is particularly passionate about the French philosophy to appearance medicine, known as ‘‘La French Touche’’. The French believe very small amounts of Botox and dermal filler should be used on carefully selected areas of the face to soften and refresh rather than using large amounts to significantly change facial features the results are naturally beautiful.
