To enhance the inner beauty and confidence in our clients by using state-of-art practices and superior quality products. Our mission is to provide a friendly but professional service that promotes confidence and self-worth.
Since opening our doors in 2005, Saving Face has grown from a boutique beauty clinic into a leading, award-winning Medispa trusted across the Bay of Plenty. What began with essential skincare and grooming has evolved into a highly specialised clinic offering advanced skin health, clinical treatments, and genuine whole-body wellness.
With over 30 years of industry experience, I’ve seen firsthand how the beauty and skin-health world has changed — and which approaches stand the test of time. That experience shapes everything we do. Every treatment, product, and recommendation is guided by education, evidence, and long-term skin health. Our philosophy remains simple: when you understand your skin and support it from the inside out, real transformation happens.
Our approach blends advanced technology with a holistic view of wellbeing, recognising how stress, lifestyle, nutrition, and daily habits play a vital role in skin function. Whether we’re treating ageing, pigmentation, sensitivity, or simply boosting overall skin vitality, our focus is always on meaningful, lasting improvement rather than temporary fixes.
We specialise in advanced skin treatments, stress-relief therapies, detoxification support, and long-lasting hair-removal solutions. Every visit is personal and intentional — designed to leave you feeling understood, refreshed, and confident in your skin.
Today, we’re proud of what Saving Face has become: a clinic built on integrity, expertise, and a nurturing environment where clients feel genuinely cared for. Nimue Skin Care continues to anchor our clinical offering, supported by technologies and products that meet our high standards for true, reliable results.
After more than three decades in the industry and nearly twenty years serving this community, our purpose remains unchanged: to help you look and feel your best with treatments that honour both the science of the skin and the wellbeing of the whole person.
Our commitment to you is that we will go to great lengths to make sure you are happy with your experience at Visible Changes. Leave it in our expert hands to address all your relaxation and skin care concerns and desires.
QUIET, PRIVATE & DISCREET location conveniently in town but near the river, which means you can relax and enjoy your treatment in peaceful surroundings without the worry of losing your privacy.
