Kia Ora, I’m Sasha - your local cosmetic injector in Ōpōtiki.

With over 15 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry as a clinical pharmacist, I completed the Combined Foundation & Advanced Botox & Dermal Filler Course with The Derma Institute in 2024. Since then I haven’t looked back with continuing education opportunities planned throughout the year with my wonderful medical oversight team - LA Aire.

I have a passion for helping people and saw injectables as a way of expanding my professional services and adding to my kete of knowledge. I love working in an industry that allows me to utilise both science and art and see all faces as a beautiful unique canvas.

I discovered cosmetic injectables for myself a few years after I had my twins and was looking for a “mummy makeover” that wasn’t dramatic but results-driven. It was then that I realised how much muscle relaxants made me feel - refreshed and empowered to be my best self. I felt obliged to encourage others and to break down the myths and misconceptions surrounding these treatment options. Non-surgical, natural-looking treatments that actually work! Yes please!

My philosophy centers on creating delicate improvements that highlight your unique features, ensuring you feel refreshed and radiant, never overdone. With a down-to-earth approach and a passion for the transformative power of aesthetic treatments I am here to help you feel like the most confident version of yourself!
