Arise Skin and Beauty is a professional skin and beauty clinic located inside TrademarX Hair Design at 2/102 Fitzherbert Avenue in West End, Palmerston North. It is run by Nicola Witt, a qualified beauty therapist with more than ten years of industry experience — a journey that began in Auckland and included time aboard luxury cruise ships, where she learned that true beauty is about more than treatments: it's about people.
Every skin treatment starts with a thorough consultation and skin assessment, because skin changes with stress, lifestyle, hormones and the seasons of life. Treatments are then tailored to your individual needs and goals, combining science-backed techniques with a nurturing, personal touch. Advanced therapies include microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy), Radio Frequency, LED Light Therapy, chemical peels, hydradermabrasion and dermaplaning, alongside Diode Laser Hair Removal.
Beyond the treatment room, Arise offers the full beauty essentials — brows, lashes, all waxing services — plus massage and body treatments including body contouring. Every service uses high-quality, active skincare products designed to deliver visible improvements in skin texture, tone and confidence.
As a proud member of the Beauty Association, Nicola works to safe, skilled and certified standards. Her goal is for every appointment to be more than a treatment — an experience where you can relax, recharge and walk away glowing inside and out. Appointments can be booked online, by phone on 027-264-4621, or by email at [email protected], with gift vouchers also available.
Tucked inside TrademarX Hair Design on Fitzherbert Avenue, Arise Skin and Beauty brings a personal, results-driven approach to skincare in Palmerston North. It's the studio of Nicola Witt, a qualified beauty therapist with more than ten years in the industry — a journey that began in Auckland and included years aboard luxury cruise ships, where she learned that true beauty is about more than treatments; it's about people.
That philosophy shows in the way every appointment runs. Each skin treatment starts with a thorough consultation and skin assessment, because skin changes with stress, lifestyle, hormones and the seasons of life. On the day you visit, your treatment is built around what your skin actually needs.
The clinic's menu moves from gentle maintenance to advanced correction. Skin Reset is the recommended first step: a personalised hour combining gentle hydradermabrasion exfoliation, a relaxing facial massage, a customised treatment mask and LED Light Therapy. It's designed to assess, calm and replenish, sending you out refreshed, hydrated and glowing.
For a quick polish, Deluxe Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair in a gentle exfoliating treatment, leaving skin smoother, softer and primed for better product absorption. Skin Corrective goes further, pairing tailored enzymes with advanced AHA/BHA exfoliation to address specific concerns, then finishing with a customised mask, facial massage and LED.
For firming, Advanced Skin + Radio Frequency delivers controlled heat into the deeper layers of the skin to support collagen and elastin production, improving the appearance of firmness, texture and overall tone. And for deeper renewal, Collagen Induction Therapy — advanced microneedling — works with the skin's natural renewal process to improve fine lines, scarring, uneven texture and loss of firmness.
Arise also handles the everyday essentials that keep clients coming back: brow and lash services, all waxing services, and Diode Laser Hair Removal for longer-term reduction. There's body contouring radio frequency to support firmness and elasticity, plus targeted removal of skin tags, sebaceous hyperplasia and milia — always assessed beforehand, with no suspicious or unidentified lesions treated. Massage and body treatments round out the menu for those who simply need to unwind.
Every service uses high-quality, active skincare products chosen to deliver visible improvements in skin texture, tone and confidence.
The setting is intimate and unhurried: one experienced therapist, a nurturing touch, and appointments designed to be an experience rather than a transaction. Nicola's goal is for every client to relax, recharge and walk away glowing inside and out. As a member of the Beauty Association, she works to safe, skilled and certified standards — a genuine reassurance for anyone trying advanced treatments like microneedling or radio frequency for the first time.
The clinic is inside TrademarX Hair Design at 2/102 Fitzherbert Avenue in West End, with free parking available around the Burger King and Liquid Laundry parking lot. Standard hours run Tuesday to Friday, with later evenings on Tuesday and Wednesday; Monday and Saturday are available by appointment only. Bookings can be made online, by phone or by email, and gift vouchers are available if you're treating someone else.
Whether you're chasing a specific concern — scarring, texture, firmness — or simply an hour of expertly delivered calm, Arise Skin and Beauty offers Palmerston North a rare combination: advanced, science-backed skin therapy delivered with the personal warmth of a therapist who genuinely cares about the people in her chair.
