Kia ora, I’m Dr Kath.
I'm the doctor behind Dr Kath Aesthetics. I created this space because I believe beauty should be approached with intention, care, and quiet confidence.
With years of experience in medicine, I've developed an approach that values thoughtful decision-making, safety, and treatments tailored to the individual.
I believe intentional aging is not about resisting time; it's about embracing it with care, awareness, and choice. My approach to treatment is one I describe as Natural Plus: carefully considered enhancements that preserve your individuality while gently restoring what time has changed. Nothing drastic, nothing artificial—just a gentle refresh that still feels like you.
I personally perform every procedure, ensuring continuity of care and taking the time to understand what matters most to you. My goal is never to change how you look, but to help you feel confident, well, and quietly radiant.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A CONSULTATION?
Dr Kath will go through the following during your consultation:
Discuss your aesthetic goals/concerns and relevant medical history
Undertake a facial assessment, including pre-treatment photos
Outline possible risks/complications and recommended treatment
Cost of treatment advised and informed consent obtained IF you are happy to proceed
Treatment or scheduling an appointment for treatment (if indicated)
Dr Kath reserves the right to decline any unsafe or not indicated treatment.
PRE-TREATMENT TIPS:
Arrive with a clean face and no makeup on the treated area. Makeup will be removed, and a topical antiseptic will be applied before treatment to prevent infection.
Have a light meal and keep hydrated prior to treatment
Avoid taking blood-thinning medications and supplements for 48 hours before your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising.
Avoid alcohol at least 24hrs before your treatment
KEEPING YOU SAFE
While wearing a mask is no longer mandatory for you, Dr. Kath continues to do so during all treatments. This measure minimises any potential risks, as she also works in a hospital and GP setting.
