Dr. Ian S. Little
Over the last 22 years, Dr. Little has become one of New Zealand's most experienced practitioners in Appearance Medicine, a speciality he now practices full time, including training doctors in Appearance Medicine techniques and lecturing at beauty schools.
After completing his medical training in Scotland, Dr Little worked in London for a group of Harley Street cosmetic surgeons. It was there that he first developed an interest in cosmetic medicine. He is one of the first doctors to introduce collagen injections for wrinkle treatment and lip enhancement and one of the first if not the first to perform Botox Cosmetic treatments to New Zealand. It is an area of medicine he finds very "positive and rewarding". "I get tremendous enjoyment from my work because people are grateful for what I do - It's like you are giving them something really special". Appearance Medicine greatly enhances the options for those seeking an improved appearance.
