Hi, I’m Tam, founder of The Skinstitute. As a former healthcare worker (20+ years), I work with patients every day who love the results of their surgery—but still feel self-conscious about their scars.

​

I use cutting-edge tools, techniques and pigments made for scarred skin to gently blend and soften the appearance of scars. Our work is meant to give you back your confidence.
