About Dr Shobhan

Dr. Shobhan Manoharan is one of Australia’s most respected dermatologists, internationally recognised for his leadership in laser dermatology, acne and acne scarring, skin rejuvenation, and complex skin conditions. As the Founder and Medical Director of Dermatology Clinics Australia, he has redefined dermatological care by combining medical, surgical, and aesthetic treatments with precision and innovation. With over 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Manoharan has treated thousands of acne scar patients, developed advanced laser resurfacing protocols, and introduced next-generation technologies such as AviClear to Australia. He is a Fellow of the Australasian College of Dermatologists and former Director of Training in Queensland. As a trusted educator and speaker, he continues to shape the future of dermatology on a national and global scale. Dr. Manoharan is widely regarded as a leader in energy-based dermatology. He has built Australia’s largest and most advanced laser and energy device suite, with over 30 platforms housed under one roof. He was the first in the country to introduce AviClear-the FDA- and TGA-approved laser for acne-and has developed advanced multimodal laser protocols for acne scarring, pigmentation, rejuvenation, and skin tightening. His integration of technologies such as CO2, Er:YAG, Fraxel Dual, Sciton Joule, Excel V, UltraClear, and Laser MD has helped redefine how laser is used in clinical dermatology. As a trusted clinical advisor and protocol developer, he works closely with global device manufacturers to guide how these technologies are implemented across dermatology and cosmetic practices. Dr. Manoharan is a leading authority in the field of laser and procedural dermatology – often cited for his expertise in leading media outlets sharing insights on dermatological advancements and patient care. From expert commentary in publications like Vogue and Marie Claire to appearances on programs such as Today Tonight and A Current Affair, our presence in the media underscores our role as thought leaders in skin health. With a clear vision to improve access and deliver more patient-centric care, Dr. Manoharan has reimagined how dermatology is delivered through Dermatology Clinics Australia. His hybrid model combines teledermatology and local care teams, reducing wait times and increasing access to specialist expertise. Under this model, he launched Australia’s first condition-specific dermatology clinics focused on acne, psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, and skin cancer. He also introduced Rapid Access Dermatology, allowing patients to see a specialist within 48 hours. Each of these clinics delivers advanced medical therapies such as biologics, laser, and phototherapy alongside practical, empathetic care that considers the psychological impact of chronic skin disease. Dr. Manoharan’s impact on the dermatology profession extends into education and mentorship. He is the founder of DermEd, Australia’s specialist training platform for laser, cosmetic, and medical dermatology, designed to upskill doctors, nurses, and dermal clinicians to the highest global standards. As the former Director of Training for the Australasian College of Dermatologists in Queensland, he has mentored many of Australia’s leading dermatologists and registrars. He is also a respected speaker at national and international dermatology conferences, regularly presenting on acne, scarring, and energy-based innovations. In parallel, he serves as a clinical trainer and trusted advisor to laser device manufacturers around the world. A long-time advocate for unifying aesthetic and medical dermatology, Dr. Manoharan has pioneered integrated models that combine preventative skincare, data-led diagnostics, and long-term patient care. His approach leverages AI-powered skin diagnostics, advanced imaging, and personalised skin longevity strategies to achieve meaningful results. In doing so, he has created a new benchmark in patient-first dermatology-where science, service, and outcomes converge to support lifelong skin health.
