CREDENTIALS
Dr Keerthana graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from International Medical University (IMU), Malaysia, in 2018.
She further pursued a Professional Diploma in Aesthetic Medicine through European International University (EIU), Paris, and the International Institute of Wellness and Aesthetic Medicine (IIWAM).

A firm believer in lifelong learning, she continues to develop her expertise through specialised training and professional workshops.
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
Dr Keerthana began her medical journey at Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Ipoh, where she completed her housemanship. She then served as a Medical Officer in the Emergency Department and in a government health clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic. These experiences strengthened her clinical judgement, adaptability and commitment to safe, compassionate patient care.
Drawn to the relationship between art and science, she moved into aesthetic medicine and now has more than three years of experience in the field. Her professional interests include facial rejuvenation, facial harmonisation and regenerative approaches to the face, hair and body.
Rather than relying on any single procedure, Dr Keerthana assesses the face as a whole, from skin quality to deeper soft tissue and structural support. She combines injectables, lasers and other energy-based devices where appropriate, choosing treatments according to the layers that need attention to achieve subtle, balanced results.
TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
For Dr Keerthana, aesthetic medicine is not about changing how someone looks, but about bringing out the best in what is already there. Every face tells a different story, and every patient deserves a plan that respects their unique features, concerns and expectations.
She places strong emphasis on patient education. During consultations, she takes the time to listen, explain the ageing process, outline the available options and set realistic expectations. Believing that what a patient wants may not always be what they need, she values honest communication and recommends only treatments that are appropriate, safe and aligned with each patient’s goals.
Her goal is to help patients look refreshed, rejuvenated and entirely themselves.
