✨Welcome Dr Nory to NEO Skin Lab ✨

We are delighted to officially welcome Dr Nory Garcia to the NEO Skin Lab team.
Dr Nory brings more than 30 years of clinical experience and a warm, caring approach that immediately puts patients at ease. With a strong understanding of facial anatomy developed through decades of dentistry, she has a natural appreciation for facial balance, symmetry, and aesthetics.
Originally from the Caribbean, Dr Nory completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in New York in 1993 before practising in Colorado for 15 years. Her love of travel eventually led her to New Zealand in 2008, where she quickly fell in love with the people, lifestyle, and stunning landscapes.
Many of you may already know Dr Nory through her work as a dentist at Southland Hospital, where she continues to care for patients in our community. She is now bringing that same dedication, precision, and patient focused approach to appearance medicine.
Dr Nory has undertaken her appearance medicine training and is excited to combine her clinical expertise, artistic eye, and passion for helping people look and feel their best.
At NEO Skin Lab, our focus has always been on:
🤍 Natural looking results
🤍 Ethical, evidence based care
🤍 Safety first
🤍 Enhancing confidence, never changing who you are.
We are thrilled to have Dr Nory join our team ❤️

✨ Introducing Scenturie at NEO Skin Lab ✨

We’re excited to now stock a carefully selected range from Scenturie, a beautiful New Zealand brand known for its luxurious, thoughtfully formulated skincare and body care products.

At NEO, we’ve chosen to bring in our favourite body care products from the range:

🌿 Harmony Luxury Body Oil
A nourishing body oil designed to leave skin feeling silky smooth while creating a calming self-care experience.

🌙 Tranquility Luxury Body Oil
The perfect evening indulgence, helping transform your daily moisturising routine into a relaxing ritual.

🏆 Award-Winning Natural Hand Cream
Rich, nourishing and deeply moisturising, this beautiful hand cream creates a protective barrier that helps soften and comfort dry, hardworking hands. It’s especially lovely applied before bed to allow the nourishing botanicals and oils to work overnight.

While Scenturie also offers facial skincare products, we’ve intentionally selected these luxurious body care essentials as a beautiful addition to our clinic. They make thoughtful gifts, a special treat for yourself, or a simple way to bring a little everyday luxury into your routine.

I’ve personally been enjoying the hand cream and body oils and love the ritual of taking a few moments each day for self-care.

Pop into NEO Skin Lab and experience them for yourself. ❤️🌸

I genuinely think the MakeUp Eraser is one of those little beauty products that quietly changes your routine forever once you start using it ✨

No harsh rubbing.
No disposable wipes.
Just warm water + the cloth = makeup removed surprisingly well, including stubborn mascara and long-wear products.

What I love most is that it feels much kinder on the skin barrier, especially for sensitive, dry, post-treatment, or mature skin that doesn’t love aggressive cleansing.

A few tips from me:
• Wash regularly to keep it hygienic
Use in the morning with water only unless you have an acneic/oily skin
• Avoid fabric softener (it affects performance)
• In the evening use with your normal cleanser to remove makeup/SPF
• Great for travel and gym bags
Small change… but one that can make your skin feel calmer and less stripped 💕

Have you tried one yet? I love mine.

✨ Skin health is never about one “miracle” product, it’s about supporting the skin consistently with ingredients that work with your skin, not against it.

One of the standouts in the Juvenate range for me is Juvenate ReSculpt Body 💙

Designed to support the appearance of skin firmness and texture, ReSculpt combines active ingredients that help improve hydration and skin condition while targeting areas where skin can begin to look less toned over time. Clients often love using it on areas such as the thighs, abdomen, arms and buttocks as part of their body care routine. I use it on my neck & chest 💕

What I love most is that it focuses on skin quality and skin confidence, not unrealistic promises. Consistency, massage application, and overall skin health all play a role in achieving the best results.

Healthy skin always looks beautiful ✨

A little moment from Rotorua earlier this month 💙

I spent the weekend cheering on two of my favourite humans — Amy running her very first full marathon (42km 😳👏) and Dr Martin taking on the 10km.

Watching someone you love do something hard, scary and incredible is such a reminder that we are capable of far more than we think we are.

There was sunshine, sore legs, nervous energy, happy tears, and probably far too much café food afterwards 😂

I’m endlessly proud of them both. Not just for crossing the finish line, but for all the training, discipline and determination that happens long before race day.

Also… I mostly contributed emotional support and snacks, which I feel is an underrated athletic skill 🫶

A little behind the scenes moment for you 💗

So much of what we do happens before you even get to the treatment chair, carefully preparing, measuring, and planning everything to suit you.

It’s never one size fits all. Every face, every skin, every plan is completely personalised.

This is how we keep results looking natural and soft ✨

If you’ve been thinking about starting your skin journey, or refreshing what you’re already doing, I’m always here for a chat 😊

Michelle RN 🌸

My focus has shifted over the years to treatments that truly support skin health ✨

Less about changing how you look and more about restoring hydration, glow, and skin function.

Because when your skin is healthy… it shows 😊

Hydration isn’t just about how your skin feels… it’s about how it functions.

When the skin barrier is well supported, everything works better, from repair and resilience to how your other active ingredients perform.

The Juvenate Hydration Heroes Skin Kit is designed to do exactly that:
• Cleanse without stripping
• Replenish hydration at multiple levels
• Calm and support the skin barrier

This is the kind of routine we often start with in clinic, because healthy skin always comes first.

If your skin is feeling tight, dull, or a bit “off”, this is a beautiful place to begin.

Michelle ❤️
