Our story
Leaders in Cosmetic Injectables & Appearance Medicine
Pioneers in Cosmetic Injectables Since 2001
The Face Place is New Zealand’s first dedicated cosmetic injectables clinic, established in 2001. As pioneers in non-surgical aesthetic medicine, we were the first to introduce Botox® treatments in a dedicated medical setting and one of the earliest providers of advanced appearance medicine in the country.
In 2004, we launched New Zealand’s first medical spa, combining advanced skin rejuvenation therapies with cosmetic injectables such as dermal fillers and Botox®, offering a fully integrated approach to skin health and natural-looking aesthetic enhancements.
Trusted Experts in Non-Surgical Aesthetic Treatments
With a commitment to safety, integrity, and personalised care, The Face Place has grown into one of New Zealand’s most trusted clinics for non-surgical cosmetic treatments. We offer a wide range of appearance medicine services, including:
- Botox® for wrinkle reduction and facial sculpting
- Dermal fillers for volume restoration and contouring
- Skin rejuvenation and remodelling treatments
- Medical-grade facials and skin therapy
- Sexual wellness treatments
A Patient-First Approach to Appearance Medicine
At The Face Place, we believe in results that are both natural-looking and confidence-boosting. Our experienced team of doctors and registered nurses works collaboratively to design personalised treatment plans - without commission-based incentives. Our goal is always to build long-term, trusted relationships, not push products or treatments.
Clinical Training & Industry Leadership
To uphold the highest standards in cosmetic medicine, we founded The Face Place Academy - a professional training institution for medical professionals. The Academy is recognised for excellence in teaching effective techniques in Botox®, dermal filler, and other advanced aesthetic treatments.

Lead the industry
Since our inception as Australasia’s first specialised BotoxⓇ centre in 2001, we have always led the way. We launched NZ’s first MedSpa in 2004 and were the first to bring sexual rejuvenation to Australasia. Our founder Dr Cat, known as an industry pioneer, hand-picks the finest team of natural Cosmedicine artists who are all experts at combining science with art. Renowned as the gold standard and a multi-award winning center in Cosmedicine, it’s a reputation we’re quietly confident we’ve earnt.
Listen deeply and engage in honest conversation
No one knows your face the way you do, and no one knows Cosmedicine like we do. Our skin and injectable artists have no sales targets, commissions or quotas. It’s why you can trust that our duty of care is a top priority. We actively listen and communicate honestly. This also means we are not afraid to say ‘no’ if we think a treatment will make you look over done or less ‘you’. We are your cheerleaders, your confidants, your trustworthy advisors.
Empower by education
Our clients choose us because they value the power of feeling informed. We do too. It is why we put so much work and time into our initial consultations. We are champions of always learning and our team travels worldwide in the pursuit of continuous growth and development. We are generous with the knowledge we gain and share it with our team, clients, and industry peers, regularly running workshops and training academies.
Have fun doing what we love.
We have the most supportive, loving environment at TFP and we love to giggle with our clients! People often comment about how you can hear the sounds of joy and infectious laughter throughout the clinic. While we take our job very seriously, we’re not stuffy or sterile and we always keep our sense of humour.
Whilst we’ve been pioneering this space for over 20 years, our journey of breaking stigmas to help people experience meaningful moments is only just getting started. Read more on what we’ve done here.
Sustainability
Our Commitment
We’re proud to be part of the Sustainable Salons Network, doing our part to reduce salon waste and give back to the community.
So what does this really mean?
By working with Sustainable Salons, we aim to reduce our landfill waste by 70% by finding repurposing solutions that benefit the environment and give back to the community. For example, our plastic bottles, packages and bags will be recycled into new products and kept out of our oceans.
It doesn’t stop there… all proceeds from the recycled materials will go to help feeding those in need in NZ via a charity called Kiwi Harvest.
Further steps we’re taking to be more sustainable…
Green Fee
Our clients also play an important role in helping us to maintain and build upon our sustainability efforts. At the bottom of your treatment invoice you will notice a $3 Green Fee. This fee goes directly towards these efforts as we view sustainability as an integral element of our business.
Black Bio Gloves
Did you know that common medical-grade gloves last a very long time (100+ years) and some are part plastic so may never truly break down. Being hygienic is VERY important to us, unfortunately this does mean we go through about 50 per day, that’s 20 boxes of gloves a week! These biodegradable gloves break down in 1 to 3 years depending on the environment or landfill they are disposed into! (It’s not perfect but it’s a great step in the right direction).
Recycling our needles
We use thousands of these every month and Sustainable Salons has recently launched a programme to recycle sharps safely. We’re also repurposing the plastic on our BotoxⓇ vials. The rubber tops of our favourite little vials cannot be re-purposed outside of the salon (yet… although we’ve heard that some rubber is being turned into bricks to build homes in third world countries!) so instead we’re using them as needle holders.
Our very own, tailored solution to dividing waste
Next time you are in the clinic you may notice 4 little white bins in each of our treatment rooms. These help make dividing chemicals, plastics, foils and plastic as simple as possible.
We appreciate your support in helping us do our bit for this earth.
