Sol Studio is a clinical skin studio at 19 Hibiscus Avenue in Mount Maunganui, Tauranga. The studio calls itself an expert skin studio rather than a beauty clinic, and it was formerly known as Epidermis + Sage. Its approach starts with the cause of a skin concern, then builds a custom treatment plan. It treats acne, rosacea, eczema, dermatitis and topical steroid withdrawal, and it offers a non-invasive treatment for itch, redness and irritation. It also runs membership and skincare regimes, and it sells at-home skincare, which customers can buy after a skin consultation.
New clients start with a Discovery Session, which the studio describes as part mini facial and part consultation, where the skin is analysed while the client receives some touch therapy. Long-term clients say the custom treatments have improved uneven, breakout-prone skin, and one client who joined a membership at about 50 says they have been consistently pleased with the results. Clients describe the team as supportive through each stage. The studio's approach suits people whose skin problems have been hard to settle, because it works on the cause rather than the surface.
