Our Story
Kelly George Aesthetics was the first permanently located cosmetic clinic of its kind to open in Tamworth. With more than 14 years’ experience in the medical aesthetics industry, including 5 years with multi-national pharmaceutical company Allergan, Kelly George brings extensive experience to Tamworth. Now with a team of 9, KGA provides a service unmatched in the region. We specialise in medical-grade preventative and anti-ageing treatments as well as a wide range of therapeutic services and women’s health.
The rule of thumb with treatments at Kelly George Aesthetics is that “if it doesn’t work at a cellular level, then we don’t do it”. This rule is applied before any new products, devices or treatments are introduced within the clinic. Outcomes and patient satisfaction are guaranteed by only offering solutions backed by science.
