This St Clair location, at 236 Forbury Road, Dunedin, is one of two Dunedin sites run by Nude Skin and Beauty, founded by therapist Nikki Diack in 2012. Nude describes itself as a welcoming, inclusive space using the latest medical grade technology, known for tackling challenging skin concerns through a long-term approach to skin health.
Nikki began Nude Skin and Beauty with a simple vision: to help everyone feel confident in their own skin. She started in the back of a hair salon, in a windowless room the size of a closet, and built that into a business offering high-quality skincare regardless of budget. Her philosophy, "We're here to help you love the skin you're in," still guides the way the team works with clients today, from a simple lash lift through to more complex skincare needs.
The clinic's offering spans skin treatments including Dermal Needling, Larimedical Peel, Vitamin A, Lactic Peel, Cryopen, Moxi Laser, IPL/Laser Pigment Removal, and the BBL Forever Young, Forever Clear and Skin Tyte treatments, alongside services covering eyes, relaxation and spa packages, cosmetic tattooing, hair removal, spray tanning, and an infrared sauna. Nude also stocks skincare products from Aspect, Cosmedix and Juvenate, and offers gift vouchers and memberships.
Nude Skin and Beauty's St Clair clinic, at 236 Forbury Road in Dunedin, is one of two Nude locations in the city, alongside the original site on Stuart Street. Founded by therapist Nikki Diack in 2012, Nude has built a reputation for combining industry knowledge with the latest medical grade technology to deliver results-driven skin and hair removal treatments.
Nikki's journey began in the back of a hair salon, working out of a windowless room the size of a closet. From that modest start, she built Nude around a simple vision: helping everyone feel confident in their own skin, with access to high-quality skincare regardless of budget. That philosophy — "We're here to help you love the skin you're in" — still shapes how the team works with clients today, whether it's a simple lash lift or a more complex skin concern.
The treatment menu at Nude covers a wide spread of technology-driven options. Dermal Needling, the Larimedical Peel, Vitamin A and Lactic Peel treatments sit alongside more advanced tools like Cryopen, Moxi Laser, and IPL/Laser Pigment Removal. The BBL range — Forever Young, Forever Clear and Skin Tyte — rounds out the clinic's laser and light-based offerings, giving clients a genuinely broad set of options depending on their skin goals.
Nude specifically addresses conditions like acne, rosacea and pigmentation, taking what the clinic describes as a long-term approach to optimum skin health rather than one-off fixes. The team continually invests in new equipment and ongoing learning to keep pace with what's available in the beauty industry, aiming to bring clients the most effective treatments possible.
Alongside its core skin treatments, Nude offers a broader beauty and wellness menu — eyes, relaxation and spa packages, cosmetic tattooing, hair removal, and spray tanning — plus an infrared sauna for clients wanting a more relaxing visit. It's this combination of clinical skin treatments and relaxation-focused services that Nude points to when describing its welcoming, inclusive space.
Nude's online shop and in-clinic retail range includes skincare brands Aspect, Cosmedix and Juvenate, giving clients the option to continue their treatment plan at home between visits. Gift vouchers and membership options are also available for those wanting to build Nude visits into a regular routine.
Nude Skin and Beauty's St Clair clinic can be reached by phone or email, with bookings available online. As one of two Dunedin locations, it offers clients in the St Clair area the same range of treatments and philosophy that Nikki built the original Stuart Street clinic around back in 2012.
