This year marks a decade since I began the wonderful journey into Cosmetic Medicine - and what a journey it’s been. Ten years of learning, evolving, and most importantly, building genuine connections with so many incredible clients.
Every consultation, every treatment, every story shared has shaped not just my skills but also my deep love for this work. Helping people feel confident in their skin is more than a profession, it’s a privilege I never take for granted.
As I celebrate this milestone, I’m filled with gratitude and pride. I’ve grown alongside you, and Luminous Skin has become more than a clinic, it’s a space for trust, transformation, and self-care.
To mark this special chapter, I’d love to share more about how it all started, what drives me, and the values at the heart of Luminous Skin.
From Nursing to Cosmetic Medicine – My Journey
My journey to appearance medicine started in paediatric nursing, a field where compassion, patience, and understanding are essential. Caring for others has always been at the core of who I am. When the opportunity arose to move into cosmetic medicine, it felt like a natural evolution.
My nursing background gave me a strong foundation, teaching me how the body functions and heals, which is so important when delivering safe and effective skin treatments. Through years of training with local and national experts, I honed my skills and learned the most advanced techniques, ensuring I could provide you with the safest, most beautiful results.
My Philosophy: Enhancing, Not Changing
My approach to appearance medicine is simple but deeply meaningful: less is always best. My goal isn’t to change who you are, but rather to enhance your natural beauty, helping you look fresher, healthier, and more confident.
Every face I see is unique, with individual concerns, needs, and beauty. That’s why I focus on a truly personalised approach. Every treatment plan is carefully crafted just for you, whether that means rejuvenating your skin with microneedling and chemical peels, or gently stimulating your skin’s natural collagen and elastin with injectable solutions.
My signature treatments, including Skin Boosters, reflect this philosophy beautifully. Rather than just treating surface signs of aging, these innovative treatments rebuild the skin’s structure from within, restoring the youthful contours and glow you deserve.
Connections, Confidence & Compassion
When people ask what I love most about what I do, my answer is always the same: you.
Over the last decade, the most rewarding part has been building genuine connections and watching confidence blossom. Seeing someone’s self-consciousness fade and their self-assurance grow is incredibly humbling.
Witnessing you step into your life feeling refreshed, proud, and authentically yourself is the true joy of my work.
Committed to Your Best Skin
Staying at the forefront of appearance medicine is crucial to me, and I’m committed to continually expanding my knowledge. Regularly attending conferences with the New Zealand Society of Cosmetic Medicine (NZSCM) and learning from industry-leading practitioners means I can always bring you the latest, safest, and most effective treatments.
I’m also passionate about empowering you with skincare knowledge. My must-have recommendations are always Vitamin A (Retinol), a game changer in anti-aging, and of course, sunscreen, the essential step in maintaining healthy skin for life.
🥂 Celebrating You - The Heart of Luminous Skin
I want to thank you sincerely for your trust, your loyalty, and your support. Each one of you has made this milestone possible.
Here’s to another decade of growth, glowing skin, and confidence together. I'm so excited for what the future holds, and I promise to always be here with the same compassion, care, and commitment to enhancing your natural beauty, gently, subtly, and authentically.
Warmest thanks and endless gratitude,
Lacey
