The Skin Directive is a team of New Zealand-registered doctors with in-depth skincare experience. 

 

The Skin Directive partners with skin, laser and aesthetic clinics to provide medical support for more complex client needs. The Skin Directive helps skin, laser and aesthetic clinics support clients with more complex skin concerns, including pigmentation, melasma, acne and rosacea. Clinics can refer suitable clients to us for medical assessment, personalised treatment planning and prescription options where clinically appropriate.

​

We can also support clinics with adverse event advice, medical-history queries, treatment suitability questions, prescription support and clinic protocols. If you are not sure whether we can help with a particular client or situation, get in touch and we can advise on the most appropriate next step.

​

Partner with The Skin Directive

​

Many clients are not ready for laser, IPL or advanced skin treatments straight away. Some need medical assessment, prescription options, skin preparation, barrier support or a more structured plan before they can safely move forward. We help clinics keep these clients within their care pathway, rather than turning them away or losing them to another provider.

​

Support clients you may not otherwise be able to treat

Pigmentation, acne, rosacea and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can be difficult to manage with clinic treatments alone. We provide medical assessment and personalised treatment planning, with prescription options where clinically appropriate, so your clinic can offer a more complete pathway.

Improve treatment planning and outcomes

​

A medically guided plan can help prepare the skin before IPL, laser, peels or other advanced treatments. This may improve client suitability, reduce unnecessary treatment risk and support better long-term results.

​

Keep clients connected to your clinic

When a client needs prescription support, they do not need to leave your clinic pathway. You can refer them to The Skin Directive, remain involved in their skin journey, and continue to provide appropriate in-clinic treatments, skincare support and follow-up.

Add medical support without employing a doctor

We provide independent medical review, prescription decision-making and written treatment plans. Your clinic collects the consultation information and images, then refers the client to us for assessment.

​

How it works

Your clinic identifies a suitable client and completes the referral process, including consultation notes, medical history and clinical images. We review the information, assess suitability and provide a personalised medical plan. If prescription treatment is appropriate, we provide the prescription pathway and treatment instructions.

Prescription treatment is not guaranteed and is only offered where clinically appropriate.
