Studio Skin is a Ponsonby skin studio on Pollen Street specialising in advanced facial treatments and skin revision. The team combines medical-grade skincare and award-winning technologies with clinically proven treatments to revise skin dysfunction from the root cause, rather than simply treating symptoms at the surface.
Every new client begins with a skin consultation — an in-depth assessment that identifies underlying issues and results in a personalised treatment plan, lifestyle recommendations and a skincare prescription. Treatments and home-care plans are then customised to your skin type and condition, because no two skins are the same.
The treatment menu spans DMK enzyme therapies (including Muscle Banding and the ProLift triple enzyme), Dermapen microneedling, the flagship Studio Skin Facial, Cosmelan and BioRePeel peels, iS Clinical Fire & Ice, Ultra Glow and Clinical facials, Nanofusion infusions and pain-free alkaline hair removal, with add-ons such as Healite LED, dermaplaning, extractions and brow and lash tinting.
Alongside the studio, the team retails the brands they use in the treatment room — DMK, iS Clinical, SkinBetter Science, Mesoestetic and more — plus gift vouchers and a rewards programme. Clients consistently praise the personalised coaching, honest advice without upselling, and lasting results for concerns from acne to eczema.
Step off Pollen Street in Ponsonby and into Studio Skin, and the studio's promise — where science meets skin — quickly makes sense. This is a clinic built around advanced facial treatments and skin revision: medical-grade skincare, award-winning technologies and clinically proven protocols, all aimed at correcting skin dysfunction from the root cause rather than papering over symptoms.
What that looks like in practice is deeply personal. Clients describe arriving after years of trying everything — medication, other skin specialists — for acne or eczema, and finally finding a team that assesses, listens and plans. Reviews single out skin therapist Brittany for knowing exactly what each skin needs, coaching clients through the process, and never upselling products along the way.
Every journey at Studio Skin begins with a skin consultation, which the team calls the essential first step to beautiful, healthy skin. During this session they assess your skin, identify underlying issues and design a personalised treatment plan that includes lifestyle recommendations and a skincare prescription. It's a genuinely diagnostic starting point rather than a sales pitch — and the consultation fee is redeemable toward product purchases on the day of your appointment.
From there, nothing is one-size-fits-all. Treatments and home-care plans are customised to your skin type and condition, with the aim of purposeful, measurable results rather than a generic pampering session.
The clinic's highest-performing treatment is the Studio Skin Facial, a top-tier session that layers the studio's most-loved modalities: a high-frequency deep cleanse, Dermapen microneedling, DMK Enzyme Therapy, Healite LED, a peptide sheet mask and massage.
DMK enzyme therapy is a cornerstone of the menu. Level one and level two enzyme treatments work beyond the skin's surface, deeply exfoliating while restoring oxygen, hydration and vital cellular nutrition for a rejuvenated complexion. Muscle Banding — the famous 'Greenzyme' — tones, tightens and lifts, helping prevent premature ageing before it appears, while ProLift stacks three enzymes for the ultimate exfoliating, sculpting session.
Microneedling with Dermapen works with the body's natural repair process to stimulate collagen, improving fine lines, wrinkles, scars, acne, stretch marks and pigmentation, and finishes with a cooling copper peptide sheet mask. For stubborn pigmentation, the world-renowned Cosmelan peel suits all skin tones struggling with sun damage, melasma or post-acne scarring, and includes a full aftercare kit and follow-up LED appointment. BioRePeel, a 35% TCA peel with minimal downtime, targets enlarged pores, texture, redness, scarring and lines.
There is plenty for facial lovers too: the iS Clinical Fire & Ice facial resurfaces with invigorating warming and cooling steps; Ultra Glow combines dermaplaning, a customised peel, LED and massage; Mini and Super Clinical facials pack enzymatic cleanses, peels and infusions into shorter sessions; and Nanofusion Pro deeply infuses organic actives for a brighter complexion. DMK's alkaline hair removal offers a pain-free alternative to laser for fine hairs, with LED or enzyme pairings to optimise results and healing.
Studio Skin is also a well-stocked dispensary of the brands its therapists actually use in the room: DMK, iS Clinical, SkinBetter Science, Mesoestetic, Aspect Dr, Heliocare, TiZO, EltaMD, We Are Feel Good Inc., My Way Up, Regul8, SIV and SIMKA. A rewards programme lets regulars earn as they shop, online orders over $200 ship free, and gift vouchers can be put toward any treatment or product. Add-ons such as Healite LED, dermaplaning, extractions, brow shaping and lash and brow tinting round out a visit.
The studio sits on Pollen Street in Ponsonby, Auckland. Appointments can be booked online in a few clicks, or you can call 021 126 4179 or email [email protected]. First-timers should allow time for a consultation so the team can map out a plan — regulars say the results speak for themselves, with skin described as the clearest and healthiest it has ever been.
