Christchurch Skin Clinic: Nurse-Led Clinical Skin Treatments
Quick Answer
Silk Clinical Aesthetics is a nurse-led skin clinic in Christchurch Central, at 66 Victoria Street, run by registered nurse Shontelle Prasad. We focus on clinical skin treatments: Volnewmer RF skin tightening, Ultraformer MPT HIFU, professional skin peels, PRP, microdermabrasion, and skin booster injections, alongside cosmetic injectables. Every assessment is carried out by a registered nurse, and injectables and needle-based treatments are nurse-performed, never delegated to a junior practitioner.
A skin clinic should do two things well: assess your skin honestly, and treat it with the right tool. At Silk Clinical, every consultation starts with an examination of your skin barrier, pigmentation, laxity, and texture. The treatment plan is built from what your skin actually needs, not what a single device happens to do.
Christchurch winters are dry. Summer UV exposure is intense, even with cloud cover. South Island skin tends toward thinner barrier function and visible vascularity. Treatment plans at Silk reflect that local context. The same recipe doesn't work for everyone, and we don't pretend it does.
We hold the only Volnewmer RF skin tightening device in the South Island, run the latest-generation Ultraformer MPT HIFU, and offer the Pro Dermal active treatment range. For injectables, we stock both leading prescription anti-wrinkle products, and a curated set of hyaluronic acid fillers chosen for the result we want to deliver.
02Technology
The two devices our skin work is built around
Most skin clinics buy one device and route every concern through it. We run two, because laxity and texture answer to different energy, and a plan that ignores the difference tends to under-deliver.
Volnewmer RF Skin Tightening
Volnewmer is a monopolar radiofrequency device, and Silk holds the only one in the South Island. It heats the dermis to the point where existing collagen contracts and new collagen production is triggered, without breaking the skin surface. It suits early laxity along the jaw and neck, and skin that has lost firmness rather than volume.
About Volnewmer RF Skin TighteningUltraformer MPT HIFU
Ultraformer MPT delivers focused ultrasound to a set depth, including the SMAS layer that a surgeon lifts. The energy is deposited in precise columns, so the effect is lifting rather than surface tightening. It is the better answer where the concern is descent: brow, mid-face, or a softening jawline.

No referral is required for cosmetic skin treatments or injectables. Bookings are made directly with the clinic. For prescription medicines, your suitability is assessed in consultation by our registered nurse.
Injectables and needle-based treatments are performed by a registered nurse with specialist training, and our wider skin treatments are delivered by our trained clinical team. Cosmetic injectables are prescribed and supervised under New Zealand prescribing requirements, and we use Medsafe-approved products. Risks are explained at consultation.
Book a consultation. The aim of the first appointment is to assess your skin and goals before suggesting any treatment. We'd rather under-recommend than oversell.
