The Derm Studio

Two foundational ingredients, two entirely different roles in skin health.
While Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) are frequently paired together, understanding how each functions ensures you are actively supporting your skin barrier rather than compromising it.

How to Layer: Apply your Hyaluronic Acid serum first onto freshly cleansed, damp skin to lock in hydration, followed by your Niacinamide formula to seal the barrier and calm inflammation.

Save this guide for your daily routine, or speak to us at your next appt to tailor your homecare active ingredients to your specific dermal goals.

Let's clear this one up once and for all!

The short answer: No, absolutely not.
The science: Dermaplaning gently removes fine vellus hair ("peach fuzz") and dead skin cells from the surface. Because the treatment only works on the superficial layer of skin, it has zero impact on the hair follicle underneath.

Hair growth, color, and thickness are entirely determined by genetics and hormones deep inside the follicle—not by shaving or blading the surface.

When hair regrows, it may feel slightly different at first simply because the tip was cut blunt, but it will grow back at its exact same natural texture and rate.

The benefit? Instant, glowing smoothness and seamless makeup application!

Got another skin myth you want us to bust? Let us know in the comments!

One of the biggest trends in aesthetics right now is salmon DNA.

But here’s the question nobody seems to be asking…

How much of the result is coming from the salmon DNA itself, and how much is coming from the skin needling?

We know skin needling stimulates collagen, improves skin texture and supports skin rejuvenation.

We also know injectable polynucleotide (PDRN/PN) treatments have growing clinical evidence behind them.

What isn’t quite as clear is whether topical salmon DNA applied during skin needling is penetrating deeply enough to achieve the same effect.

That doesn’t mean it has no value.

It simply means the evidence isn’t as strong as the marketing.

At The Derm Studio, I’m less interested in trends and more interested in treatments backed by science, clinical evidence and consistent patient outcomes.

Because your skin deserves more than a buzzword.

It deserves evidence.

A little reintroduction for all my new followers 🤍

Hi, I’m Rachael — founder of The Derm Studio.

I’ve spent over 19 years in the beauty and aesthetics industry, with the last 10 years specialising in advanced skin and laser treatments. I’m also an Enrolled Nurse and Clinical Trainer, which means education, safety and results have always been at the core of everything I do.

But after having my son nearly 2 years ago, something shifted.

I knew I didn’t want to return to the fast-paced clinical environment I had been working in. My heart simply wasn’t there anymore. I kept feeling like something was missing from this industry — the warmth, the connection, the ability for clients to truly switch off while still receiving high-level clinical treatments and real results.

So, The Derm Studio was born.

A space created to feel different.
A little softer.
A little slower.
A place where advanced skin treatments and clinical knowledge meet comfort, trust and genuine care.

We’ve now been open for just over a year, and watching this little studio grow into what it is today has honestly meant everything to me.

Whether you’re here for skin confidence, self-care, education, results… or simply an hour to breathe and unwind — you are so welcome here.

Thank you for being here and supporting this dream of mine. I truly feel like we’re only just getting started 🤍

Acne was never something we believed should be treated aggressively.

Because for us, it’s always been about more than just what’s happening on the surface.

Barrier repair.
Inflammation.
Skin health.
Long-term strategy.
Real support.

This month we’re sharing more about our approach to treating acne-prone skin and quietly working on a little something behind the scenes to support our clients even further in clinic soon 👀

Real skin.
Real support.
Real results.

DM “ACNE” if you’re ready to start your skin journey with us 🤍

Because healthy skin was never just about skincare.

Your skin is connected to more than what you apply topically,
gut health,
inflammation,
stress,
your microbiome,
skin longevity…

For a long time, I’ve believed in treating skin with a more holistic, supportive approach rather than chasing quick fixes.

And soon, something beautifully aligned with that philosophy will be arriving at The Derm Studio.

This next chapter feels very us…..

🤍

What started as a dream built between new mum life, late nights and a whole lot of passion… has now become a space that finally feels like home.

The Derm Studio has officially moved to:

📍 1/93 Marine Parade, Redcliffe

Every detail of this space was created intentionally — warm, elevated, calming and designed to make you feel comfortable the second you walk through the door.

This isn’t just a new location.
It’s growth.
It’s alignment.
It’s the beginning of something even bigger.

To every client who has supported me, trusted me with your skin, shared my business, referred a friend or simply cheered me on behind the scenes… thank you. Truly.

I cannot wait to welcome you into my new home 🤍

Bookings are now open via the link in bio.

Something is changing… ✨

A new chapter for The Derm Studio is coming.
More intention. More luxury. More of the experience you deserve.

This next season is all about elevated skin treatments, refined results, and creating a space that feels as beautiful as the skin journeys happening inside it.

Same passion.
Same heart behind the treatments.
Just evolving into something even more aligned 🤍

Stay tuned… you’re going to want to be part of this.
