Sponsored: Love the skin you're in

Lacey Boyd, the compassionate founder of Luminous Skin, has dedicated her career to helping people look and feel their best. From her beginnings in paediatric nursing to her current role as an expert in appearance medicine, Lacey’s journey reflects a deep commitment to health, wellness, and self-confidence.

From nursing to cosmetic medicine, Lacey's transformation was a natural evolution of her passion for caring for others. When the opportunity to move into cosmetics arose, she jumped at it, saying, “My background in nursing gave me a solid understanding of how the body works, which is essential when working with people in this field.” After training with local and national experts Lacey honed her skills, learning the safest and most advanced techniques. Today, Lacey offers a range of non-surgical treatments designed to rejuvenate and enhance natural beauty, from microneedling and chemical peels to injectable solutions that stimulate collagen and elastin production. Her philosophy is simple but effective: less is best. “My goal is for clients to look like themselves – just fresher and more confident.”

Bringing a personalised approach to skincare, every client receives a bespoke treatment plan. Each method is carefully crafted to address individual concerns, ensuring results that are both natural and transformative. “Building connections with people, and seeing their confidence grow has been exciting, and is the biggest reward. We’re all unique, and that should be celebrated. Helping people see their perceived flaws diminish is incredibly humbling.” Lacey’s signature treatment, bio-stimulators, exemplifies her innovative approach. Without structural support, skin loses its youthful form, and the injectable treatment rebuilds the skin’s structure by stimulating collagen and elastin production. Lacey is committed to staying at the forefront of appearance medicine, regularly attending national conferences hosted by the New Zealand Society of Cosmetic Medicine (NZSCM) and gaining insights from leading practitioners. These experiences enable her to bring cutting-edge treatments to Nelson, ensuring her clients receive the most advanced care.

Lacey also empowers clients with knowledge, highlighting the importance of consistent skincare routines, recommending retinol as a must-have. “Vitamin A is the key to anti-aging. It boosts skin cell turnover, shrinks pores, lightens pigmentation, and helps the skin absorb serums more effectively. Of course, sunscreen is non-negotiable! It’s the best defense against harmful rays that accelerate aging and cause skin cancer.” Lacey’s approach is deeply personal – she meets and treats every client herself, building genuine connections that enhance the experience. “Creating a personalised treatment is very important. This makes my role interesting and evolving. It’s a privilege to guide someone through their transformation, as my passion always comes back to people and seeing them personally transform from inside is incredible. They stand differently. Proud. My goal is for people to feel refreshed and natural. I set a realistic plan to work towards, there is no rush, small changes allow a natural result. That’s where I feel I stand out.”
