Nelson Skin Clinic is the amalgamation of Nelson Appearance Medicine and Nelson Beauty Therapy. Cheena Windleburn and her team of experienced cosmetic nurses and internationally qualified therapists are excited to announce the rebranding of the clinic.
First purchasing the Nelson Beauty Therapy brand in 2020, Cheena, also a registered nurse, brought with her a background of over a decade in appearance medicine. She has built a trusted reputation, training with the best and combining her knowledge and years of expertise with that of her team to create the most advanced skin therapy clinic in the Top of the South. “We wanted to rebrand the business to reflect the specialist services the clinic has to offer” says Cheena. “We’re taking beauty and skin to a new level of care with the combination of world class procedures and solutions, performed by highly experienced and passionate experts in their respective fields”.
Integrating their services with Nelson Plastic Surgery (NPS), they have the ability to provide continuity of care for their clients, working closely with NPS, where Cheena also works, alongside specialist plastic/cosmetic and skin surgeons. “For clients needing next level specialist skin care, we can refer them through to NPS for further trusted consultation and advice.”
