FROM ACNE TO ADVOCACY

How Jamal Ammar is Leading Australia’s Inclusive Aesthetic Movement

Long before Jamal Ammar founded SkinXLulu, his relationship with skin was deeply personal. As a teenager, he experienced the emotional and physical toll of severe cystic acne, an experience that would shape not just his career, but his philosophy. “When you’ve lived through skin challenges, you don’t see them as just cosmetic,” he shares. “You understand the impact on confidence, on identity. That empathy drives everything I do.”

Today, Jamal’s clinic in Sydney’s Inner West, stands as a gender-neutral sanctuary where clients of all ages and backgrounds are welcomed without judgment—and treated with the same level of precision and care as one would expect from any advanced medical practice.

From Practitioner to Educator

What truly sets Jamal apart is his commitment to education—not just for himself, but for the broader industry.

Investing over 300 hours annually in advanced training, Jamal is also a national trainer for Cryomed Aesthetics, mentoring fellow nurses and dermal clinicians on safe, evidence-based approaches to emerging technologies.

His recent presentations at leading conferences—including Cosmedicon 2025 and The Fresh Life—have solidified his reputation as an educator with substance.

While many clinics are chasing trends, Jamal is teaching others how to vet technologies, understand regulatory boundaries, and support clients’ skin health in ways that are safe, compliant, and sustainable.

Editorial Recognition and Industry Respect

 

With multiple national media features already under his belt this year—including prominent coverage in professional aesthetic publications—Jamal’s voice is becoming a go-to for journalists seeking informed, grounded perspectives on what’s next in cosmetic medicine. But he’s careful not to blur the lines between clinical expertise and consumer hype.

“The way we talk about skin matters,” Jamal explains. “It’s easy to overpromise, or to market treatments in ways that don’t reflect the nuances of what they actually do. I’ve made it a priority to work with publications that respect regulatory frameworks and prioritise transparency.”

A Signature Treatment with a Supportive Philosophy

While Jamal has become best known for his clinical leadership, his Lulu Luminate facial has also gained attention for the right reasons. Designed to refine, hydrate, and revitalise the skin, the treatment combines gentle exfoliation with TGA-registered laser and LED technologies, finishing with tailored skincare protocols that suit even the most sensitive skin types.

But unlike many trending treatments, the Lulu Luminate doesn’t promise transformation—it supports the skin’s natural function. Its emphasis is on enhancing hydration, improving visible tone and texture, and supporting an even complexion—all without invasive techniques or misleading before-and-after claims.

Inclusive, Evidence-Based, and Always Ethical

A defining aspect of Jamal’s philosophy is inclusion—not as a marketing angle, but as a guiding principle. His clinic is intentionally designed to be a space where every skin type, tone, gender identity, and concern is not only welcomed but understood.

From booking to aftercare, communication is clear, accurate, and free from sensationalised claims. Treatments are discussed using correct clinical terminology and in accordance with AHPRA and TGA guidelines.

What’s Next?

 

As the industry continues to evolve, Jamal’s mission is to help shape it—through mentorship, advocacy, and continued innovation.

His goal is not only to become a recognised Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for reputable global brands, but to help raise the bar for what skin health can mean in Australia.

Whether mentoring a nurse on new device protocols or guiding a client through their first treatment, Jamal Ammar is proving that skin wellness is more than a trend—it’s a craft.

And at its best, it’s a form of care that empowers everyone to feel confident in their own skin.
