Beautiful clinic and Lorina is super accommodating. Receiving laser tattoo removal and can't wait to see the end result.
I recently had a beauty spot cosmetic tattoo done by Lorina and it was a great experience from the moment I walked through the door. Lorina is absolutely lovely and I was instantly comfortable and at ease. I come from a healthcare background and I noticed her high standards of infection control which is something that I hold in high regard. I’m so happy with the result, and I’m looking forward to visiting Lorina again soon, and will be seeing her for any future treatments.
Whenever I have had the pleasure of visiting this clinic, it has been a wonderful experience. Lorina and Dr Kahee are both so professional as well as kind and caring. As experts with years of training in their respective fields, the time and money spent on their services are so beneficial. You will notice the changes and feel the difference immediately.
Highly recommend. I will never go to another clinic. So inviting, gentle, clean, personable and affordable. Treat yourself 😍😍
I have seen Dr Kahee for a number of treatments and her care and attention to detail is exceptional.

I did a lot of research for my eyeliner tattoo. Having recently having it done overseas. I can truly say I’m 100% happy with Elkes work. Elke is a true professional with strong dedication to her work. Meticulously applies her craft to create a happy result. I certainly would recommend Elke to the highest degree
I’ve had various treatments with both Lorena and Dr Kahee they are both highly professional, knowledgeable and lovely individuals. Five stars thoroughly recommend.
The clinic was beautifully presented, location was great with good parking options. Staff were so welcoming. I seen Dr Kahee who was warm and very knowledgeable. Dr Kahee did not do the usual hard sell. She explained everything to me and let me come to my own decision. Cost was explained upfront which was also appreciated. I highly recommend a visit to Inya Cosmetic Skin Clinic.
Love love love my eyebrow tattoo!! After hesitating for far too long and with almost zero brows Lorina gave me the most beautiful eyebrows. She listened carefully to what I wanted in both shape and colour. I'm delighted, thankful that I don't have to keep a brow pencil with me at all times to fill in the blanks, and I can now confidently spend my day sans brow pencil. Thank you Lorina 🙂

Had my eyebrow tattoo done by Lorina yesterday and I am very happy with the result. I like how light and gentle her hand when doing my tattoo and can’t feel any pain at all. I like the shape of my eyebrow and already in-love with my brow. Thank you so much Lorina and also for being welcoming and kind. Definitely recommend this clinic. Best regards, Cathyrine T.

Can not recommend Lorina highly enough, her passion and knowledge is exceptional! Lovely clinic in an ideal location with unbeatable quality and services!
Professional and really knows her services inside and out. Thank you Lorina.
The BEST! Lorina did laser tattoo removal on me after I was accidentally tattooed by my friend. I’m a student and have been worried about this accidental face tattoo for months, and she made my life infinitely easier. She was also super welcoming and kind. I will definitely be coming back to her for any laser needs and am already looking at buying some of her organic makeup.
Wonderful service. Clean and welcoming environment. Great rates. Highly recommended
I had a very positive experience here and I could not recommend more!! My tattoo removal was easy, affordable ( I am a student) and most importantly I felt very safe. I could not recommend more!! Best clinic in Canberra and such a positive space for everybody 💓
I would trust noone else with tattoo removals, especially cosmetic ones, other than Inya Cosmetic Skin Clinic! I came to Inya looking to remove some stubborn microbladed brows from 5 years ago that aged badly with time. Lorina was so kind, caring, informative, and upfront with her advice on my options, questions and likelihood of success. Even after just 1 session there was an incredible improvement, I was absolutely stunned! After just 2 sessions, I look 98% back to normal. The whole process has been so quick, affordable and with IMMEDIATELY noticeable improvements. The best part is there has been absolutely NO damage to my natural brows (as promised by Lorina)! I am so glad I came here. Thank you Lorina! The sweetest, loveliest person ever!
