About Us
Our Clinic
Welcome to That Skin Clinic
Founded by Advanced Dermal and Laser Therapist Samara McRae, That Skin Clinic is a skin and laser clinic located in the heart of Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast. We specialise in advanced skin treatments, laser therapies and long-term skin health, combining evidence-based technology with personalised treatment planning to support healthier, stronger and more resilient skin.
Our approach goes beyond treating what is visible. We consider the many factors that can influence the way your skin looks and functions, including barrier health, hormones, nutrition, gut health, lifestyle, environment and stress. Every client is treated individually, with recommendations based on their skin, concerns and long-term goals.
Here’s What We Do
That Skin Clinic provides advanced corrective and regenerative skin treatments for a wide range of skin concerns, including acne and congestion, pigmentation, redness and vascular concerns, uneven texture, scarring, signs of ageing and compromised skin barrier function.
Our treatment offering includes advanced Er:YAG laser resurfacing, IPL skin treatments, Pico laser, professional skin needling, chemical peels, LED phototherapy, advanced facials and personalised skin health programs.
We also provide laser tattoo removal and IPL hair reduction. Rather than following set treatment protocols for every client, we assess the skin and develop an individual treatment plan using the modalities most appropriate for that person
Skin Health, From Multiple Angles
We believe skin health doesn't exist in isolation. Alongside our dermal and laser services, That Skin Clinic brings together practitioners across naturopathy, compounding pharmacy, therapeutic bodywork and beauty therapy. This collaborative approach allows us to consider both external and internal factors that may be influencing the skin and, where appropriate, incorporate additional professional support into a client's skin health journey.

Your Skin Consultation
Every advanced skin journey begins with a consultation. Our founder and lead dermal and laser therapist, Samara McRae, and our skin team assess your skin, discuss your concerns and goals and recommend the treatments and home care most appropriate for you.
Where relevant, your treatment plan may also incorporate support from other practitioners within the clinic.
Our focus is not on chasing quick fixes or changing the way you look. It is about improving the health, function and quality of your skin through considered treatment, professional guidance and a long-term approach.
There’s a lot of noise in skin and aesthetics. More products, more treatments, more promises and increasingly, it can be difficult to know what actually matters.
Samara takes a different approach.
With a background in journalism and marketing, Samara has always been passionate about cutting through the noise, asking better questions and understanding what’s actually behind the claims being made in the beauty and aesthetics industry. She brings that same mindset to every skin consultation: no hype, no cookie-cutter treatment plans and no recommending something simply because it’s the latest thing.
Samara completed her Diploma of Beauty Therapy in 2008 and has since completed an Advanced Diploma in Cosmetic Dermal Science. She holds a Class 4 Laser Licence and is currently completing a Professional Certificate in Melanography. But qualifications are only part of the picture.
Samara is deeply passionate about skin and laser and believes great results start with properly understanding the person, their skin and what they’re actually trying to achieve. Her approach is individualised, considered and grounded in education, helping clients understand what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and whether it’s genuinely the right option for them.
She takes pride in the time, precision and care she puts into every treatment, with a focus on helping clients achieve meaningful results while feeling informed and confident throughout the process.
At That Skin Clinic, consultations with Samara are an opportunity to step away from the noise and get a clear, personalised plan for your skin, including honest recommendations around what may be worth doing, what may not be necessary, and where to focus your time and investment.
Because skin health shouldn’t be about selling you more. It should be about knowing what matters.

Her approachable nature makes her a familiar and welcoming face from the moment clients walk through the door.
Alongside her studies, Kelly is completing hands-on training under Samara, developing her knowledge of skin, treatment planning and advanced dermal therapies. This allows her to combine her formal education with practical experience in a clinical environment.

Rob is a Therapeutic Bodywork Practitioner and the founder of Sacred Touch. His work focuses on supporting women through restorative bodywork, nervous system regulation, fascia release and lymphatic support.
Rob takes a slow, considered approach to each session, working with how the body responds rather than following a fixed massage routine. His longer-form treatments are designed to give the body time to settle, while supporting the release of physical tension and promoting a greater sense of relaxation and restoration.
With a strong emphasis on professionalism, communication and client comfort, Rob creates a safe and respectful environment where each session is tailored to the individual.
Rob works alongside our wider team to bring a body and wellness dimension to That Skin Clinic, particularly for clients experiencing ongoing tension, stress, physical fatigue or those simply wanting dedicated time for recovery and restoration.
