Our Story
My name is Jaime Squires. I am a Registered Nurse and Appearance Medicine Nurse, with over seven years experience in Appearance Medicine, and fifteen years nursing experience, five of which were spent running Skin Institute Invercargill before opening my own clinic. I obtained my Bachelor of Nursing Degree through Southern Institute of Technology in 2001. I have oversight provided by Dr Henryk Poczwa, owner of Vein and Skin Clinic, and member of The New Zealand Society of Cosmetic Medicine.
CosMedic Clinic offers both Appearance Medicine and Skin Care treatments. Injectable treatments include muscle relaxant procedures using Botox and dermal fillers and lip fillers using Juvaderm. Skin treatments include medi-facials including peels, masks, skin care products - Aspect Dr, Skin Medica, PCA, Cosmedix and Colour science make-up, and Dermagraq, a micro needling system with infusion of serums to boost collagen, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and enlarged pores, create a more even skin tone, and improve skin texture and hydration. I offer a cosmetic consultation prior to procedures, whereby a full medical history is obtained and facial assessment taken with treatment recommendations and options. I will soon be introducing IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) to treat pigmentation, red facial veins, hair removal and skin rejuvenation. More about this coming soon!
I regularly attend the annual New Zealand Society of Cosmetic Medicine conference, and have attended numerous other training sessions throughout my career in appearance medicine, with majority of my training being through Allergan. I have continued to attend training conferences and seminars, in house one on one training sessions and online training since opening my own clinic, as feel it is imperative in this industry to keep updated in the latest treatment guidelines for both best results, and safety of my clients. I completed my Appearance Medicine Certificate through Skin Institute with Excellence, and hold a level 5 Advanced Cardiac Life Support Certificate.
I am passionate about appearance medicine with particular emphasis on achieving a natural fresh look for my clients by enhancing what they already have. Clients can sometimes have misconceptions in relation to procedures in appearance medicine and this can easily be overcome by consultation and education. I believe that individual facial assessment and listening to my client’s needs is a crucial part to achieving the best possible results, and am a strong believer in maintenance through good skin care and follow up.
