An inspiring day at ICTD 2026 🌏✨
�Dr Lisa Connelly and Dr Michael Connelly attending clinical case demonstrations at the Sri Lanka National Hospital Dermatology Clinic.

These sessions offered a rare and valuable opportunity to observe live cases of tropical dermatoses — including leprosy, cutaneous leishmaniasis, cutaneous tuberculosis, and complex fungal infections — guided by senior consultant dermatologists from Sri Lanka.

A powerful learning experience highlighting the diversity of dermatological conditions in tropical regions and the importance of global knowledge sharing in advancing patient care. 🩺🌿

Did you know Dr Lisa Connelly is a Paediatric Dermatologist?

Paediatric dermatology requires additional focused expertise. In New Zealand, there are very few Dermatologists with dedicated training in paediatric skin disease.

A paediatric dermatologist specializes in treating children (newborns to adolescents) with a condition that affects their skin, hair, or nails. While all dermatologists treat children with skin conditions, you may be referred to a paediatric dermatologist if your child is diagnosed with a severe disease, challenging birthmark, or rare condition.

Our iDerm Clinic is located on the West Coast of the North Island in New Plymouth however we do offer Tele-Derm Virtual consultations if you are elsewhere in New Zealand.

Feel free to phone us and enquire ☺️

A belated International Women’s Day! 🌺☺️✨

Here at iderm we want to celebrate all the women in our lives, those who came before us, those who lift, encourage, show bravery and spread kindness.

When we think about what being a woman and what great skin care means, for us it isn’t about perfection- it’s about health, confidence and empowering women to feel comfortable in their own skin.

Spending our peak summer 🌺 outdoors means more sun, heat, salt water, air con - and all of it impacts our skin.

Here Dermatologist Dr Lisa Connelly chats about why hydration💧 is absolutely key at this time of year (here in New Zealand) 🇳🇿

☀️ At the height of summer, we often see:

• Increased dehydration
• Compromised skin barrier
• More visible fine lines
• Skin may look dull or crepey
• Sensitivity flare-ups

We need to support the skin barrier topically and for some patients considering in clinic treatments will help restore hydration. 💦

Moisturising consistently 👌 Will help maintain barrier function, prevent trans epidermal water loss and keep skin resilient.

And for patients wanting an advanced boost - treatments like PROFHILO can be a beautiful option alongside good skincare. 🧴

We still have the profhilo 2 for 1 COMPLETE THE TREATMENT SPECIAL available and FREE COSMETIC CONSULTATIONS. 💥

Call us to book in an appointment - it’s time to prioritise your skin quality 😌 ✨
