At 360 Skin Studio in Russley, Christchurch, owner Carol Geal has built a clinic around the idea that beautiful skin should be achievable for everyone, for life. As an award-winning Advanced Dermal Skin Therapist who spent over a decade as Environ's Technical Educator in New Zealand, Carol brings a science-driven approach to facials and skin correction, alongside waxing, tinting and spray tan services.
Carol uses a range of medical-grade tools to deliver results, including Environ's DF machine with pulsed iontophoresis and sonophoresis to enhance the penetration of active ingredients like vitamins, peptides and antioxidants, DermaLux LED phototherapy to stimulate collagen and elastin while reducing pigment and inflammation, and the SkinPen microneedling device to rejuvenate skin. These technologies sit behind the studio's signature offering, The Ultimate Facial, which combines LED Therapy, a customised Cool Peel treatment, full-face Sonophoresis (said to enhance active ingredient absorption by 40 times), and a Vitamin A infusion delivered via pulsed iontophoresis with an alginate masque.
Beyond the Ultimate Facial, 360 Skin Studio addresses a broad range of concerns. The Environ Electro-Sonic DF Facial targets fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage, while Dr Des's Environ Rosacea Protocol focuses on reducing redness and strengthening the skin's barrier. Medical Micro Needling with SkinPen Precision is used to boost collagen and improve wrinkles and scarring, Radiance Reveal is designed to brighten pigmentation, and Moisture Boost hydrates and plumps skin using Hyaluronic Acid. For something more relaxing, a Non Electro-Sonic DF Facial offers a gentler glow, and the studio also builds customised skin plans for special occasions.
Alongside its skin therapies, 360 Skin Studio offers professional waxing and tinting for face and body, including eyebrow shaping and bikini line waxing. The studio also provides spray tanning using Australian MINE Tan Spray Tan Solutions, with a fast-acting formula built around Avocado, Coconut, Jojoba and Macadamia Nut Oils, Coconut Water and DHT. The tan deepens over 24 hours and is designed to last 7 or more days without patchiness.
Carol's expertise is shaped by direct training under Dr Des Fernandes, the plastic surgeon and founder of Environ Medical Skin Care, along with time spent with Dr Ernst Eiselen, who acts as a Medical Advisor to Environ, and Dr Matthias Aust, Associate Professor and Chief Consulting Physician at the Clinic for Plastic Reconstructive Surgery at the Malteserkrankenhaus Hospital in Bonn, Germany. That background feeds into how Carol builds each client's treatment plan, recognising that no two skins are alike.
