The read

A/Prof Philip Bekhor was the first dermatologist in Victoria to use lasers for birthmarks back in 1982 and founded the Royal Children's Hospital Laser Unit in 1988, a pioneering CV spanning over four decades. The Box Hill North practice's pulsed dye, Q-switched and fractional CO2 stack is purposeful rather than expansive, reflecting a career built on precision technique over device count.
