Relfydess is the latest neuromodulator available in NZ. Find out how it works, how long results last, and what makes it different.

The aesthetic industry is entering a new era, one where subtle, natural-looking results take priority over exaggerated features. As patients become more informed, the focus is shifting towards skin quality, balance, and treatments that support the face to age well rather than change it.

Curious about the difference between Sculptra and skin boosters? While both treatments rejuvenate and refresh the skin, they work in completely different ways. Sculptra gradually restores lost volume and firmness by stimulating collagen, while skin boosters deeply hydrate for smoother, more radiant skin. Discover which injectable is right for your skin goals this summer.

Considering IPL this winter? Learn how proper skin preparation, personalised treatment plans, and aftercare create longer-lasting results.

Facial ageing isn’t just about skin and collagen. Over time, facial muscles weaken and the fascia that connects muscle to skin loses integrity, leading to sagging and loss of definition. EMFACE is the only non-invasive treatment that targets muscle, fascia, and skin simultaneously to support natural facial structure.

As the sun heats up, your skin needs extra care. From antioxidant protection and Vitamin A to hydration and summer-safe treatments, these expert tips will help you maintain healthy, glowing skin all season long.

Elevate your cosmetic injecting career in 2026 with advanced, small-group training in anatomy, filler refinement and complication management.

Most cosmetic injectors begin their education with pharmaceutical company workshops — but these sessions often prioritise product promotion over true clinical learning. At The Face Place Academy, we take a different approach. Our workshops are small, hands-on, and brand-neutral, giving you the skills, confidence, and versatility to treat patients safely and effectively with a wide range of products and techniques.

Thinking about a career in cosmetic medicine? Whether you're a registered health professional curious about injectables or ready to make a full career pivot, The Face Place Academy offers the training and support to get you started. Our comprehensive, hands-on courses blend science, artistry, and ethics—helping you build the confidence and skills to thrive as a cosmetic injector, no matter your experience level.

As I step into my third month as owner, I’m excited to expand our offerings with evidence-based treatments that deliver natural, lasting results. This month we welcome Sculptra — a collagen-stimulating injectable that restores firmness and skin quality, supporting healthy ageing and confidence at every stage.

— Dr Jenni Irvine

It’s hard to believe it’s already been a month since I returned to The Face Place. Stepping back into the clinic has felt like coming home — reconnecting with familiar faces, meeting new team members, and settling into an environment that embodies integrity, ethics, and excellence. I’m excited to build on the legacy Cat has created while getting to know our wonderful patients and shaping the next chapter together.

After 25 incredible years, The Face Place enters a new chapter. On 31 July, Dr Jenni Irvine officially took over ownership—bringing with her a deep understanding of our values, culture, and commitment to excellence. While the heart of The Face Place remains the same, this transition marks an exciting new era for the team, our patients, and what’s to come. In this heartfelt farewell, Dr Cat reflects on the journey so far, the decision to pass the torch, and what’s next in her own inspiring story.
