The Skin Clinic Built on Trust

DermLab is where people go when they want real answers and real results. We’re a one-stop destination for all skin needs, medical, surgical and cosmetic, built around Dermatologists who know the science and care about the person.

Our approach is simple: we lead with expertise, speak plainly, and we always strive to do what’s right for the patient. That might mean recommending less, or helping someone decide if treatment is even needed at all.

Everything we do is based on evidence, delivered with empathy, and focused on long-term care. This is a place where patients feel understood, respected and safe. Because trust isn’t just a value here, it’s the foundation.

Meet the Team

DermLab was founded by two leading Dermatologists who share a simple vision: expert care built on trust. With decades of combined experience, they bring both scientific precision and genuine compassion to every patient, setting the standard for honest, lasting skin care in New Zealand.
