What are you looking to address?

Every skin concern has a treatment pathway. Our skin treatments range from Dermapen 4 microneedling for scarring, fine lines and pigmentation, to personalised facials, lash extensions and precise waxing, all delivered by one Gold Certified practitioner in a private room in Spreydon, Christchurch. Follow whichever pathway resonates, or begin with a private consultation and we will map it out together.

Acne & Scarring

Post-acne marks, pitted scarring, active breakouts and congested pores.

Fine Lines & Ageing

Expression lines, skin laxity, and loss of firmness and volume.

Pigmentation

Sun spots, uneven tone, hyperpigmentation and hormonal patches.

Dull or Tired Skin

Flat complexion, rough texture, peach fuzz and lacklustre skin.

Lashes & Brows

Thin lashes, sparse brows, and definition without daily makeup.

Unwanted Hair

Face and body hair removal: brows, lip, legs, Brazilian and more.

Pores & Texture

Enlarged pores, uneven surface, rough patches or bumpy skin.

Hair Thinning

Scalp needling to stimulate follicle activity and support healthier growth.

Ch. 04 · Why The Villa Retreat

Quality without the overhead

No salon franchise fees, no rent on a premium strip, no junior practitioners on commission. Your $299 goes into premium product, calibrated equipment and 22 years of expertise in skin treatments. Not the address.

Every appointment starts with an honest read of your skin, and every plan is built around what it actually needs, whether that is a single facial before an event or a full course of collagen induction. You will see the same practitioner at every visit, so nothing about your skin has to be explained twice.

Single Practitioner

Leeanne treats every client personally. Not a junior, not whoever is available. The same skilled hands every visit, and they know your skin.

Gold Certified

One of the highest Dermapen certifications available in New Zealand. The credentials are not decorative: they reflect a real standard of clinical practice.

No Salon Overhead

A single-practitioner clinic with no franchise fees and no premium retail rent. The pricing reflects the treatment, not the surroundings.

22 Years in Christchurch

Established 2002 in Spreydon. N.A.S.A Qualified, with two decades of knowing what works, and the confidence to say when something will not.
