Urban Skin is a skin and laser clinic at 4A Riverside Road in Whataupoko, Gisborne. Its main work is laser hair removal, pigmentation and vascular lesions, with medical-grade laser technology, alongside customised facials, peels, micro-needling and LED light therapy. Tinting, shaping and waxing are also offered. The clinic's dedicated skin and laser therapist is Annaliese. Each new client starts with a 45-minute skin consultation using Observ diagnostic imaging, and the website says consultations are free when recommended products are bought. A New Client Experience combines the consultation with an express O Cosmedics Pro Dermal Facial. The clinic has also introduced BioRePeel, a no-downtime chemical peel, which the website describes as new. Enquiries can be made through the website form or by phone.
Customers praise Annaliese, who they describe as knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic, and who explains each treatment and step in detail. Reviewers say the clinic is relaxing, comfortable and very clean, and that the needling appointment was relaxing from start to finish. Several mention the inviting atmosphere, and one customer reports good results from laser work. The reviews say little about waits or prices, and the praise is consistent.
