O Cosmedics

If you are looking for a next generation treatment that not only strengthens skin immunity, but resurfaces, firms, boosts radiance and restores the skins microbiome (vital to keep skin looking fresh and elastic even as you age), then this is the treatment for you.

These treatments use O-Biome Oxygen Therapy to optimise the skins natural regeneration process and rebuild the skin structure from within. In fact, O-Biome Oxygen Therapy works with a key focus on the O Cosmedics three tier skin approach to really boost long term skin health: to calm and soothe, heal and strengthen and correct and maintain (the most exciting part!)

Treatments take around 1 hour and 15 minutes and include a deep cleanse, exfoliation, an Oxygen Enzyme peel, a facial massage using the O-Rejuv Gua Sha Facial Device, and an O-Biome Oxygenating Mask with a customised skin activator that goes on with a fan brush providing full coverage for optimum lymphatic compression. The mask is left on for 45 minutes, where it is important to lie still to allow it to fully dry, tighten and for effective lymphatic compression.

Results are immediate, as well as cumulative, perfect for an instant boost but better as part of your long-term skin health plan.

What do the different skin activators do?
Pro Dermal Active addresses and treats key skin conditions with four customised activators specially formulated with functional actives, ensuring the skin stays healthy, functions at optimum levels, and supports a hydrated, youthful, and glowing complexion. There are four activators available as part of the PDA treatment depending on your skin concern:

Lift and Firm
For skins concerned with laxity and lift. Perfect for mature or sagging skin.

Collagen Booster
Designed to block the chemicals that trigger muscle contraction during facial expression with lead to fine lines and wrinkles. Great for those concerned with ageing.

Clear Skin
Created to specifically target breakout, blemishes and skins needing rebalancing. Perfect for acne and problematic skins.

Bright Skin
Inspired to support optimum skin brightness and uneven skin tone making it the perfect choice for pigmented, dull, or uneven skin tones.

Transform and Detox - 120 mins 

If you’re wanting to take a step up from your usual facial, these peels are your secret weapon to achieving your skin goals. The collection of O Cosmedics Pro Dermal Planning Peels treatments has been created to work at six different levels, the more powerful ones working at deeper layers of your skin.

These bespoke treatments work to transform the skin and achieve cell optimisation, using natural fruit extracts together with pure, medical strength actives in biomimetic carriers (which means it imitates the skin – so your skin actually knows what to do with it). The goal is to return skin to its normal function, tackling wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin tone and pigmentation.

Each customised chemical peel includes a deep cleanse, exfoliation and a lush Alginate Rubber Mask. Try a programme, building up your level of peel over time, and you’ll be on your way to serious skin improvement.

The Clininc

Our treatments are holistic sessions aimed at achieving whole self wellness through working with the integumentary (skin) and nervous systems. With the background in science, physiology, psychology and clinical practice, Lin made a deep dive into researching the brain-skin-axis and developed a signature technique to holistically address stress and burnouts, promote selfcare, boost confidence and overall happiness. 

clients say

"Although I have been focusing on skin therapies from the onset of my practice, over the years I found myself workings with individuals who are under a lot of stress, be that emotional burnout, negative body image, chronic pain, or injury consequence. That very fact encouraged me to discover and learn more about the intricate connections between the nervous system, inflammation, and skin impairments" - Lin, founder of NZCI

In the world of filters and edited “flawless” skin we are dedicated to Healthy skin, not seamless or airbrushed skin.

When we think about skin, we often view it as a simple protective layer. However, recent discoveries have revealed that skin is far from passive—it’s an incredibly dynamic and intelligent organ. Let's delve into the fascinating world of skin’s barrier function, how it maintains and repairs itself, and the critical role genetics play in this process.

Blog

The skin is continuously renewing itself, although if the skin barrier gets significant damage, it may become necessary to support the skin with a replicating skin barrier to protect while the new skin layers develop and restore the natural balance of pH, microbiome and antimicrobial peptides.
