A private skin and laser studio in Papamoa, Tauranga
Salt is a skin and laser clinic in Papamoa, Tauranga, built on one belief: skin first, always. Every treatment starts with understanding your skin properly, and every plan is made for the long term, not a quick fix. Our approach combines advanced laser training with a background in health science, so we look at the whole person, not just the surface. No rushing, no upselling, just honest advice and care done properly.
My services
Consultations: start here
Not sure what you need? Start with a consultation. Our laser tattoo removal consultations are free and include test shots, a skin type assessment and a treatment plan. Skin consultations look at what's happening on the surface and what might be driving it from within, and can be combined with a first-time facial.
Laser tattoo removal
Safe, careful laser tattoo removal using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, with settings matched to your skin and ink. We also remove cosmetic eyebrow tattoo. You'll get an honest picture of what's possible, including which ink colours can and can't be treated. Started tattoo removal somewhere else? We're happy to give you a second opinion.
Laser facials
The carbon laser peel deep-cleans congested, oily and breakout-prone skin, while laser skin rejuvenation gently warms the deeper layers to soften redness, texture and fine lines.
Pigmentation removal and skin lightening
Laser treatment for sun spots, age spots and uneven tone on the face, hands and arms, and gentle lightening for areas such as the underarms and bikini line.
Microneedling
Controlled micro-channels encourage your skin's own collagen production, softening acne scarring, refining texture and supporting firmer skin over a course of treatments.
Facials in Papamoa
Unhurried, personalised facials: The Salt Prescription, tailored to your skin on the day; the deeply relaxing Salt Ritual; Salt Sculpt + Detox for puffiness and jaw tension; the ReAwaken Exosome facial; and our pregnancy-safe Pregnancy Ritual.
Brows and lashes
Brow mapping, shaping and tinting, brow lamination, and lash lifts and tints, designed to work with your natural features so you still look like you, just more polished.

What our clients say…
"I went to Annalise after being scarred at another tattoo removal place. She explained everything to me and made me feel so comfortable the whole time! She checked in with me the day after my appointment which was great! Definitely recommend Salt Aesthetics and I'll be back soon!"
Jess H.
"I had multiple carbon laser facials with Annie and they did absolute wonders for my skin. After a few treatments, my skin looked airbrushed and now feels baby soft and smooth. Annie is so lovely and knowledgeable. She makes you feel completely at ease during treatments. I highly recommend Salt Aesthetics"
Mel B.
"I wish I could rate higher because Annie from Salt is the absolute best! Her thorough consultation at the start meant that my treatment went even smoother. I've had my second round of laser tattoo removal and it's already lightened sooo much! Salt makes you feel comfortable and relaxed and I could not be happier :)"
Nicole W.
"Salt Aesthetics quite literally transformed my skin, I could not recommend this place enough. I'm so sceptical when it comes to skin treatments, and I'm blown away by the results I have! I feel so much happier in my own skin now"

Frequently asked questions
-
It depends on your tattoo's size, colours, depth, ink layering, quality and age and also on your skin type, so it isn't possible to know exactly before you begin. You can however check out the Kirby-Desai scale to get a rough idea.
-
Yes. We offer honest second opinions on your progress and your options, with no obligation to continue with us.
-
Yes. The carbon laser peel deep-cleans pores and helps regulate oil, and with a course of treatments it can reduce breakouts and soften the look of acne marks. Because breakouts often have causes beyond the surface, your skin consultation also looks at your health, nutrition and lifestyle, so your plan addresses why your skin is breaking out, not just the breakouts themselves.
-
It depends on your skin and what you'd like to change. If you're not sure, start with a skin consultation: we'll assess your skin and recommend the treatments that will genuinely help. You can also use our Help me choose page to find treatments by concern.
