Dr. Elizabeth Griffin Graduated with honours from the University of Sydney in 1974 initially trained in Radiology started working in Cosmetic Medicine in 1984 working at the first cosmetic clinic in Sydney., The Harley Medical Centre. This clinic pioneered the use of collagen injections in Australia. They also used Baker and Gordon phenol peels, something that is rarely done now. Following that worked in the Collagen Face Centre another early adopter. Here used also innovative fat injections in the face where the fat was taken from the patient and reimplanted in the face. This technique was pioneered by Dr Pierre Fournier in Paris who taught Dr Griffin the technique. Fournier also pioneered the use of syringe assisted liposuction in the early eighties. In 1989 DR Griffin set up her first cosmetic practice in Edgecliff NSW. Initially the practice was involved with the treatment of lower leg veins and facial birthmarks. This was the time when lasers were first introduced into private practices in Australia. Birthmarks were a major problem for adults as no treatment was provided in childhood as is now commonplace. Dr Griffin ran the first Australian made laser for vascular lesions, the copper vapour laser, in fact the first off the assembly line, number 001. This was a very good workhorse laser but has now been superseded by others that are less painful for patients and that cause less blistering. Collagen was rapidly replaced in 1990 by less problematic fillers. These products are in use today in various forms that allow major changes to the aging face. There is a number of other fillers available all with different good and bad points. Liposuction was a large part of Dr Griffin’s practice between 1992 and 1996 when it became commonplace to do this in the doctor’s office instead of in hospital. Dr Griffin set up a large liposuction practice in central Sydney to cope with the demand for office based liposuction and introduced the new carbon dioxide laser for facial resurfacing. This has now been replaced by the fractional carbon dioxide system or Fraxel. Dr Griffin now restricts herself to fillers, wrinkle relaxant injections, skin cancer surgery and fractional laser resurfacing.
