About Indigo Skin & Body
Located inside Shyft Mind & Body Studio in Gore, Indigo Skin & Body specializes in results-driven skin health, beauty essentials, and therapeutic massage treatments. Led by senior therapist and clinic owner Kristin Leckie, who brings over two decades of industry experience, the clinic approaches skincare holistically by treating each person's skin as unique as their fingerprint.
Treatments at Indigo combine advanced diagnostic technology, such as the Observ skin scanner, with targeted therapies including collagen induction skin needling, Dermalux LED light therapy, and specialized Medik8 facials. Alongside clinical skincare, the studio provides mindful, nurturing treatments like the Indigo Face Sculpt incorporating buccal massage and Rongoā energy healing, as well as classic beauty maintenance ranging from deluxe pedicures to precision waxing and makeup.
Indigo Skin & Body: Bespoke Skin Health and Holistic Care in Gore
Tucked inside the Shyft Mind & Body Studio on Gorton Street, Indigo Skin & Body provides a focused, tranquil space for skin health and personal wellness in Gore. Built around the philosophy that every individual's skin is as unique as a fingerprint, the clinic rejects one-size-fits-all routines in favor of careful analysis, tailored treatments, and dedicated home care strategies.
The clinic is guided by owner and senior therapist Kristin Leckie, who brings more than twenty years of industry experience to every consultation. Rather than offering superficial quick fixes, Indigo takes a holistic view of the body, pairing clinical topical care with lifestyle and nutritional guidance to support long-term skin health from the inside out.
Clinical Diagnostics and Advanced Skin Rejuvenation
At the core of Indigo's clinical offering is the Observ diagnostic skin scanner. By capturing imagery beneath what the naked eye can see, the device allows therapists to pinpoint underlying issues, dehydration, and structural changes before designing a bespoke plan. Clients receive a comprehensive consultation exploring their skincare history, lifestyle habits, and goals alongside a tailored product routine.
For deeper cellular repair and rejuvenation, the clinic provides medical-grade Collagen Induction Skin Needling across the face, neck, and chest. The treatment creates micro-channels that trigger the skin's natural healing response, helping to smooth fine lines, soften acne scars, and firm the complexion. Clients can also experience Dermalux LED phototherapy—a soothing, zero-downtime treatment utilizing specific light wavelengths to calm inflammation, manage acne, and accelerate cellular recovery—as a standalone session or integrated into facials. Other clinical options include gentle epi-dermal blading and targeted Medik8 treatment protocols.
Mindful Touch and Everyday Beauty Care
Beyond advanced machinery, Indigo Skin & Body places equal value on restorative hands-on therapy. A distinctive highlight of the studio is the Indigo Face Sculpt and Buccal Facial, performed by Kristin. This treatment incorporates intra-oral buccal massage techniques designed to release deep tension in the jaw muscles, ease clenching, and relieve teeth grinding, while sculpturing facial contours. Each session uses Kristin’s own hand-blended Indigo Oil—richly formulated for normal to dry skin—and finishes with traditional Rongoā energy healing for a grounding, nurturing release.
In addition to deep-dive facial care, Indigo caters to regular grooming essentials with the same attention to detail and hygiene. Guests can book precision eyebrow shaping, lash tinting combinations, thorough waxing services, and relaxing deluxe pedicures that include foot soaks and leg massages. Whether visiting for bridal makeup or a seasonal skin overhaul, clients enter an environment that prioritizes comfort, quiet, and individualized attention.
