A doctor who looks at the whole picture

Dr. Chahal is a Sydney-based medical doctor and cosmetic physician. Before moving to Australia to study medicine, she studied biology and psychology at the University of Toronto. Her early medical career included work and training in medicine and surgery across Australia, before she moved into cosmetic medicine.

Today, her consultations bring your concerns together with your health, previous treatments, skincare and the way your face is changing. There is time to talk about what you like, what is bothering you and what you hope to achieve.

Her role is to help you understand your options and make a plan you feel comfortable with. That includes discussing likely benefits, risks, recovery, costs and alternatives, and being clear about what a treatment can realistically do.

Medical training, research and education

Dr. Chahal holds a Bachelor of Science with Honours (BSc Hons) from the University of Toronto and a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery with Honours (MBBS Hons) from The University of Queensland. Her medical background includes years of postgraduate training in medicine and surgery, published papers, practitioner teaching and key opinion leader appointments in aesthetic medicine.

That experience informs how she approaches a consultation: understanding the concern, considering the evidence and explaining how an option fits the person in front of her.

Your skin changes. Your care can evolve with it.

Perimenopause and menopause can make familiar skin feel unfamiliar. You may want help with a changing complexion, or you may be thinking more broadly about how to look after your skin and appearance over the next few years.

Dr. Amy can be a guide through those decisions. A measured plan gives each step a purpose, helps you decide what matters most now and leaves room to review your progress as your needs change. The aim is to support skin health and work towards your goals over time.

Read our guide to skin changes during menopause, or explore how the face ages. For broader menopause symptoms and hormone-treatment decisions, your GP or menopause clinician remains an important part of your care.

What working with Dr. Amy looks like

Start with you

Discuss what you have noticed, review your skin and medical history, and agree on the concerns you want to address.

Choose your next steps

Consider cosmetic medicine, skincare and skin treatments together in a plan that reflects your priorities, budget and time for recovery.

At follow-up consultations, review your response and cosmetic medicine plan with Dr. Amy. Decide together what to continue, adjust or leave for later as your priorities change.

Teaching, writing and a public voice on skin

Alongside her clinical work, Dr. Chahal teaches other practitioners and contributes to public discussions about cosmetic medicine. She brings a clinician’s perspective to conversations about treatments and skincare.

Dr. Chahal has featured in marie claire, Vogue and other publications. These conversations reflect a practical part of her work: helping people understand their choices before deciding what is right for them.

Her forthcoming book, Beauty by Design (HarperCollins), explores how to navigate cosmetic medicine and make informed choices about your appearance.

Her patient guide, Ageing With Structure, explains her approach to facial ageing and planning. You can also read TCMA’s guide to what actually stimulates collagen, or explore her press, podcasts and features.

From the clinic to everyday skincare

Dr. Chahal also founded FutureSkin. It extends her interest in skincare into the products and routines people use between appointments. At TCMA, that everyday care sits alongside assessment, suitable treatments and review as part of your broader plan.

Start with a clearer plan.
