Simply Skin Timaru

About Simply Skin Timaru

Simply Skin is a discreet boutique appearance medicine clinic located in the Royal Arcade in Timaru, offering cosmetic injectable treatments, non-surgical skin rejuvenation and professional medical skin care products. The clinic is owned and operated by Registered Nurse Debbie Gough, who has over 30 years of experience in the aesthetic medical profession, including work with renowned plastic surgeons and dermatologists in Sydney and London.

Debbie has extensive experience in the latest injection techniques for botulinum toxin and dermal fillers, working under the strict guidelines of the Cosmetic Appearance Nurse Network (CANN), with Dr Phil Frost of FaceValue providing ongoing medical oversight for all injectable procedures. Her approach is client-centred, with treatments targeted to individual needs, free consultations, and same-day treatment available for some procedures. Debbie favours a gentle approach to injectables, aiming for subtle, youthful results that enhance natural beauty rather than overcorrecting.

The clinic also offers beauty therapy treatments through Courtney Dale, a Timaru-based, trained beauty and dermal therapist specialising in waxing, spray tans, massage, tinting, facials, manicures and pedicures, who brings a particular passion for massage and its ability to help clients relax and reduce stress.

Simply Skin Timaru: Client-Centred Appearance Medicine in the Royal Arcade

Tucked discreetly into the Royal Arcade in central Timaru, Simply Skin has built its reputation on a genuinely client-centred approach to appearance medicine. The clinic is owned and operated by Registered Nurse Debbie Gough, who brings more than 30 years of experience in the aesthetic medical profession, including time spent working alongside renowned plastic surgeons and dermatologists in Sydney and London.

A Gentle, Honest Approach to Injectables

What sets Simply Skin apart is Debbie's stated philosophy toward injectable treatments: rejuvenation through enhancing natural beauty, not changing it. Her extensive experience in the latest botulinum toxin and dermal filler techniques is grounded in strict adherence to the guidelines of the Cosmetic Appearance Nurse Network (CANN), with Dr Phil Frost of FaceValue providing ongoing medical oversight of every injectable procedure performed at the clinic. Consultations are free, and same-day treatment is available for some procedures, with clients given honest, up-to-date answers to their questions before any treatment begins. The result, as the clinic describes it, is subtle and youthful — smoothing lines or replacing lost volume rather than overcorrecting.

The treatment menu reflects that same considered approach, spanning anti-wrinkle treatments, dermal fillers, Profhilo for hydration and radiance, Mesotherapy, Juvelook skin boosters and Sunekos, a bio-regenerating injectable that stimulates the skin's own collagen and elastin production.

Advanced Skin Rejuvenation and Beauty Therapy

Beyond injectables, Simply Skin has recently added Laser Rejuvenation Treatments to its offering, alongside an established range of non-invasive options including microdermal needling, Microdermabrasion with Aqua Peel using the Omega Hydrodermabrasion machine, LED mask therapy, and the Meline Pigment Peel for pigmentation concerns like melasma and hyperpigmentation. For visible thread veins, Microsclerotherapy remains what the clinic calls the gold-standard treatment, while EPILED offers a high-powered LED approach to hair removal and Cryopen provides a quick, safe option for mole or skin tag removal.

Rounding out the clinic's offering is a dedicated beauty therapy service delivered by Courtney Dale, a Timaru-based and trained beauty and dermal therapist. Courtney's particular passion lies in massage, valuing its ability to help clients relax, reduce stress, and support both mental and physical healing, alongside her broader training in waxing, spray tans, tinting, facials, manicures and pedicures. Together, Debbie and Courtney offer Timaru clients a combination of medically overseen appearance medicine and relaxed, personal beauty therapy under one discreet, boutique roof.
