"I always emphasise the importance of comprehensive sun protection to my patients – not just for skin cancer prevention, but also to combat premature ageing and hyperpigmentation.
Dermatologists know that sunscreen isn’t enough to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. This is where Solbari’s UPF 50+ range plays a critical role, providing an additional barrier against UVA and UVB rays. I particularly value how Solbari garments combine style with practical design features – such as high necklines and lightweight breathable fabrics – while meeting industry standards and offering exceptional durability.”

His special interests include eczema, acne, rosacea, psoriasis, skin cancer management, hair disorders, and laser treatments.
"When it comes to protecting our skin against UV radiation, I am a firm believer that SPF 50+ sunscreen is not enough. I always recommend UPF 50+ clothing and accessories including a wide-brim hat, long sleeves, and leggings or swimwear that protect our legs as well.
Solbari is a hero sun-protective clothing brand that delivers a range of quality UPF 50+ options that look great and provide outstanding protection. I am proud to recommend such a forward-thinking, Aussie-owned clothing brand that reinforces the need to protect our skin as a whole.”

"UPF 50+ products are an essential part of every skin health routine, providing an extra level of confidence to enjoy the outdoors worry-free, especially during the hot Australian summer. There are very few ranges available with proven UPF 50+ protection, but I personally use and recommend Solbari.
Solbari combines comfort and style with world-leading UV protection, making their UPF 50+ range one of the simplest and most effective additions to your daily routine to maintain healthy skin for life.”

"As a dermatologist and a mom to a toddler, I’m constantly outdoors—whether I’m hiking, running errands, or out on a stroller walk. I always tell my patients that sunscreen is essential, but it’s not enough on its own. For true protection against premature aging and skin cancer, sun-protective clothing is a must. That’s why I love Solbari’s UPF 50+ range—it delivers reliable protection without sacrificing style or comfort."

"As a dermatologist, UPF 50+ clothing is essential for effective sun protection for myself and my patients. It provides reliable sun protection throughout the day to protect skin from harmful UV rays that cause skin cancer, dark spots and wrinkles.
I especially love reaching for my Solbari UPF 50+ clothing, sun hats, accessories and swimwear when I’m being active outside or in the pool with my kids and I don’t want to worry about re-applying sunscreen."
