Every great skin journey begins with a professional skin assessment. Our expert Medical Skin Therapists take the time to understand your skin - looking at your skin type, current condition, routine, lifestyle, and concerns - to tailor a treatment plan that’s uniquely yours.

We recommend all clients have a skin assessment at least once a year. Your skin is constantly evolving, and regular check-ins ensure we’re treating what your skin needs now - not last year.

At The Face Place, we use the advanced OBSERV digital imaging system to get beneath the surface. This state-of-the-art technology captures both standard and UV images to reveal visible and underlying concerns - such as sun damage, pigmentation, texture, pores, and fine lines - so we can treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Following your assessment, we’ll prescribe a personalised skincare plan to improve your skin’s health, radiance, and long-term results.

This assessment is the foundation for all advanced skin treatments at The Face Place.

We’re proud to be the first clinic in New Zealand to offer EmFace, the only non-invasive, hands-free treatment that lifts and tones facial muscles while reducing wrinkles - all in one 30 minute session.

Using a combination of Synchronized Radiofrequency (RF) and HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electrical Stimulation), EmFace works beneath the surface to simultaneously:

• Smooth and firm the skin by heating the dermis, boosting collagen and elastin
• Lift and tone facial muscles by selectively contracting key muscle groups to restore structure and definition
• Visible Results, Clinically Proven
  

In clinical studies, patients who completed a full course of treatments experienced on average:

37% reduction in wrinkles

30% increase in muscle tone

23% overall lifting effect

This is facial rejuvenation - redefined.

Your EmFace journey begins with a comprehensive skin and facial muscle assessment with one of our expert clinicians. This ensures we tailor the treatment plan to your unique facial structure and goals. Most people achieve optimal results with six sessions, spaced 5–10 days apart. EmFace targets the forehead, brows, cheeks, and jawline - lifting and defining the mid-to-lower face while smoothing forehead lines.

EmFace is not recommended for individuals with metal implants in the face, active skin infections, or certain neurological or muscular conditions. A full consultation will determine your suitability.

Please note: EmFace is exclusively available at our Takapuna clinic.

Exion RF Microneedling is the next generation of skin rejuvenation - combining microneedling, radiofrequency, and artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver powerful, personalised results with greater comfort and efficiency.

Unlike traditional RF microneedling devices, Exion uses AI-driven technology to precisely control energy delivery in real time. This allows the radiofrequency to reach up to 8mm deep without the needles fully penetrating the skin - targeting deeper layers more effectively, with less discomfort.

Exion RF Needling targets:

• Enlarged pores
• Dull or tired-looking skin

Exion stimulates collagen and elastin, smooths the skin, and leaves you with a radiant, firmer complexion - without the need for invasive procedures or extended downtime.

Most clients see best results from a series of 3–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Your clinician will advise the ideal course based on your skin needs.

Exion HA is a breakthrough treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid (HA) - without needles, injections, or downtime.

• Stimulate collagen and elastin

• Restore a fresh, glowing, youthful appearance
  

It’s the first device of its kind to target collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid - naturally and non-invasively.

• Firmer, plumper skin
• Deep hydration and improved skin tone
• Softening of fine lines and crepiness
• No needles, no pain, no downtime
• Suitable for the face and body

Start with a consultation at The Face Place to assess your skin goals and ensure Exion HA is the right treatment for you. Anyone experiencing signs of skin ageing such as dehydration, dullness, loss of volume, or early wrinkles will benefit from Exion HA. It’s ideal if you want visible results without injectables.

Most clients benefit from a course of 3–4 sessions, spaced 1–2 weeks apart. Your clinician will recommend a tailored plan. Common areas treated include the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and areas of crepey skin on the body. It’s safe for delicate skin and suitable for all skin types.

At The Face Place, we believe that truly beautiful skin starts with a science-backed, nutrient-rich skincare routine. Our approach is holistic - supporting your skin both in-clinic and at home - with a focus on replenishing the essential vitamins your skin needs to function at its best: A, B, and C.

These vital nutrients are depleted daily by UV exposure, leaving the skin more vulnerable to ageing, pigmentation, and sensitivity. Without them, your skin simply can’t perform or protect itself properly.

That’s why medical-grade skincare is not just a recommendation - it’s a foundation for lasting skin health.

Unlike over-the-counter products, medical-grade skincare contains clinically active levels of ingredients proven to create real change in the skin. These ingredients - especially vitamin A - may cause temporary reactions such as dryness or sensitivity, which is why they must be prescribed by a trained professional.

With the right guidance, these powerful products:

• Hydrate and brighten
• Restore skin function
• Improve tone and texture
• Support anti-ageing and skin rjuvenation
• Think of it as skincare that actually works—because it’s designed to

Important Note
Medical-grade skincare is potent and needs to be used correctly. That’s why you’ll need a consultation with one of our highly trained Medical Skin Therapists—they’ll safely prescribe the right products for your unique skin type and goals.

Skin peels (also known as chemical peels) are one of the most effective ways to brighten, smooth and strengthen the skin. By gently exfoliating surface layers and infusing the skin with powerful nutrients, peels help stimulate cell renewal and restore a healthy glow.
Over time, you can expect improvements in skin texture, tone, hydration, and elasticity - making peels an excellent option for nearly every skin type.

Skin peels are tailored to suit your skin’s specific needs. They work by:

• Removing dead skin cells
• Stimulating collagen production
• Improving hydration and cellular activity
• Supporting skin regeneration over time

Targeted Solutions for Your Skin
For dull, dry, or rough skin - Superficial Lactic Peels

Dermal needling is a powerful treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to trigger your body’s natural collagen production - helping to restore skin firmness, improve texture, and reduce signs of ageing.

As we age, UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin, leading to fine lines, enlarged pores, and thinning skin. Needling helps reverse this process by creating micro-injuries that activate a healing cascade, boosting collagen and elastin for stronger, healthier skin.

Benefits of Dermal Needling:

• Collagen & elastin stimulation
• Skin rejuvenation & tightening
• Fine line and wrinkle reduction
• Improved texture & pore size
• Pigmentation & melasma support
• Acne & surgical scar improvement
• Stretch mark softening
• Hair restoration (in some cases)
• Works well with cell rejuvenation treatments
  

The Face Place offers three methods of skin needling:

• SkinPen®
• Dermal Roller
• Exion RF Needling
  

Your clinician will recommend the most suitable method based on your skin type, concerns, and available recovery time.
