The Skin Institute Has Landed on Auckland’s `Medical Mile’

The Skin Institute Has Landed on Auckland’s `Medical Mile’


“We’ve been around for 20 years, so it’s taken quite a while for the Skin Institute to get to Remuera – but now we’re here!”

Skin Institute Head & Neck Surgeon Mr Mark Izzard is thrilled that the company’s latest clinic – which recently opened – is not only state-of-the-art when it comes to the latest technology, but is also cutting edge in terms of design.

The clinic located at 123 Remuera Road features two operating theatres, a laboratory, consulting suites, cosmetic suites, retail space and recovery areas – with the emphasis on providing impeccable service in the most comfortable and relaxing surroundings.

“It is a really tech-focused clinic but we’ve thought a lot about getting our clinics right in terms of design too, “Mr Izzard says.

“We’ve got 16 Skin Institute clinics around the country already but this is our first foray into Remuera, which is that traditional “medical mile” and we really wanted to make sure we created a high-end practice, which offers the company’s trademark multi-disciplinary approach to skin cancer and vein treatment, surgery and appearance medicine. “

“There’s a slight variation with each clinic we create and we won a Red Dot award for our St Marks Surgical Centre design, so this new Remuera premises is the next evolution in creating clinics designed around making people feel good about visiting the Skin Institute.

Sometimes it’s not much fun going into surgery so you want to make sure people are well looked after and comfortable. “

The project has taken a year and the Skin Institute has invested in a full high-tech laboratory suite to enable Mohs or CCPDMA (Complete Circumferential Peripheral & Deep Margin Assessment) surgery. These are the most advanced methods of curing skin cancer and involve onsite testing of tissue during the procedure.

The clinic will also feature two new types of skin regenerating and skin
resurfacing lasers, as well as all the latest technology both for skin cancer management and varicose vein treatment.

The Remuera team includes leading Dermatologist Vania Sinovich, experienced Breast and Vein Surgeon Mr Stephen Benson, Registered Nurse Sally Coulam (previously Ellison) who heads up the Appearance Medicine side and Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Mr Zachary Moaveni. New to the Skin Institute, Mr Moaveni offers a wide array of procedures including nose reshaping, prominent ear surgery, face and neck lifts, abdominoplasty, body contouring and lifts.

The new Skin Institute Remuera clinic is open from Monday to Friday and offers a comprehensive range of specialist, cosmetic and surgical services, treatments for skin cancer, veins and appearance medicine, as well as Mohs/CCPDMA surgery for skin cancer.
