The 5 Best Botox Clinics in Auckland That Beauty Insiders Go To
The feeling of confidence isn’t something money can buy, right? But let’s be real – looking good does come at a cost. With beauty enhancements costing up to thousands of dollars, you want to make sure the money isn’t going down the drain!
As a city dotted with many beauty clinics, Auckland is a paradise for many. But we don’t want to recommend clinics just because they’re popular, and we had to reach out to beauty insiders in the city (aestheticians, beauty editors, dermas) to find the best options.
So if you want to visit clinics vetted by beauty pros, all you need to do is read on!
How much does Botox cost in Auckland?
1. ALLOR Cosmetic Medicine

Location: 72 Waimarie Road, Whenuapai
Contact: +64 22 262 6762
Opening Hours: Tuesday: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM | Wednesday – Friday: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM | Saturday: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

The process at ALLOR is what initially drew us in. We absolutely loved that every session starts with a free initial consultation. This part never felt rushed too, so there’s really room to discuss goals and expectations.
Our favorite part is their follow-up care. After the Botox treatment, a check-in schedule two weeks after is already settled. It’s also free of charge unless extra products are needed.
The care doesn’t stop there – clients revealed to us that they were provided with aftercare instructions and a direct contact number so they can reach out any time if issues arise as they recover.
Before and after photos are confidential, which we find extremely helpful for conscious or introverted clients.
The only downside we saw was that their location in Whenuapai may be inconvenient for those in central Auckland. For those who want a chic, comfortable clinic, though, we think the trip is worth it.
Brings positive changes
“Heather is such an expert in her field, and being an actual qualified Doctor before she moved into cosmetic medicine, really gives you great confidence that she understands the human body and its structures and muscles. Her clinic is modern, fresh and clean and cozy and you feel relaxed as soon as you walk in. I am very grateful for her advice and the positive changes I have experienced since seeking her help.”

Incredibly warm and caring
“I was delighted to discover Allor and was very happy with my initial consultation. To be seen by a professional with a medical background was important to me, and Dr Heather’s incredibly warm and caring approach was a welcome bonus. My needs were assessed and discussed in detail, with all options fully explained. I felt well informed and am very happy to be guided by Dr Heather’s recommendations which I look forward to progressing. I can highly recommend Allor.”

2. Beautiphi

Location: 2C/1 Tika Street, Parnell
Contact: +64 22 383 7968
Opening Hours: Monday – Friday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Website
The level of precision we saw at Beautiphi is pretty hard to beat. As evidence of their quality Botox treatments, clients revealed that their results lasted longer than expected, which isn’t something we can say for every clinic.
We liked that their consultation is straightforward and very transparent. For instance, the practitioner may recommend alternatives to Botox if they determine that another treatment may work better (it’s still up to the client to choose how to proceed).
However, the quality of the consultations feels a bit inconsistent, considering how there were a few clients that felt like they were rushed. These issues appear to be outliers though, so it may simply be a unique situation.
Going back to more positives, we loved how cozy and relaxing their atmosphere is. Plus, payments are straightforward, with a $50 consultation fee that can be credited towards the treatment cost.
Trusted services
“I have been treated by Stacey for years. She is a magician! I still look 36 at 46. She knows my face and what treatments look good on me, I trust her with my face which is the first thing people see and judge you on so that’s so important.”

3. Face Doctors

Location: 10 Saint Marks Road, Remuera
Contact: +64 9 524 5665
Opening Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Friday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM | Wednesday – Thursday: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM | Saturday: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Website
The experienced practitioners at Face Doctors are their biggest draw. Their leading professionals are qualified members of the New Zealand Society of Cosmetic Medicine (MNZSCM), so expertise is already on the table.
One unique strength we noted was their hybrid consultation. Clients begin with a personalized online assessment, which is then followed by an in-person consultation.
We liked this two-step process as it really gets into the full detail of specific concerts and goals. And this applies to all treatments, not just Botox procedures.
As for approach and attitude, we find them to be very welcoming, with practitioners having a nice, gentle bedside manner.
We just noticed that they have a tendency to upsell to more expensive services. It may turn off a few clients, but it doesn’t affect the overall quality of the service, in our opinion.
Seamless appointment
“I will definitely be back! My appointment was seamless, and very clear with explaining how it will work and throughout the whole session was informative. Dr Mark makes you feel comfortable and knows what he is doing. I love how clean and hygienic the clinic was. Also very aesthetically pleasing. Thank you to Dr Mark and the Face Doctors Team!”

Smooth procedure
“Had a mole removed from my neck today and the whole process from start to finish was fantastic. I enquired online and Belinda promptly replied and was so helpful. Today I met Dr Mark and he was really friendly and professional. I felt reassured about the procedure, and it went so smoothly. I am very happy! Thanks Mark & Belinda. Highly recommend Face Doctors in Remuera”

Contact: +64 9 220 4366
Opening Hours: Monday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM | Tuesday – Thursday: 9:00 AM – 7:30 PM | Friday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM | Saturday: 10:00 AM – 5:30 PM
Website
Operating since 1996, The Cosmetic Clinic has the kind of experience we’re looking for. To make things even better, all their injectables are administered by registered nurses or doctors, so there’s peace of mind for the clients.
We also liked that their pricing is transparent and quite competitive when compared to city averages.
As for the actual process, the thing we appreciated the most was their high standards of hygiene and cleanliness. Everything is clean and kept spotless, which we highly appreciated during our visits.
The consultation is pretty straightforward – nothing extraordinary, but of course, we highly value honest discussions and realistic follow-up care instructions. Something that this clinic does.
We just wish their customer service were a bit better. We noted a report from a previous client who had difficulty reaching them via phone. We didn’t experience this during our test runs, but it’s something to keep in mind.
Takes great care of clients
“Done a few sessions with Richie now and she’s amazing! super friendly and takes great care. today i came in and she noticed i had tan residue and she carefully warned me about the safety issues with the chemicals and laser and has booked me in for a later date. So good at there jobs!”

5. Palm Clinic

Location: 139 Remuera Road, Remuera
Contact: +64 9 522 8128
Opening Hours: Monday – Friday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Website
Palm Clinic is among the oldest cosmetics clinics in the city, so it’s easy to see why many locals trust them. It’s hard to deny the experience too, considering they have overwhelmingly positive reports of natural-looking results
Their cosmetic injectables are carried out by certified nurses and doctors. The staff also revealed to us that their professionals are continually trained, which gave us reassurance.
The patient-first approach is very evident too. During consultations, they don’t upsell treatments and instead, focus on providing clear discussions on the process. Clients we interviewed repeatedly confirmed this.
The client care feels very consistent too, regardless of whether the customer is new or a regular. We love small things like this because they really elevate the entire experience to a whole level.
Follow-up care just feels a little poor – it’s not inadequate per se, but compared to other clinics, it can feel a bit disappointing with the lack of personalization. We’re still happy that the staff remains courteous in dealing with any issues.
Warm and welcoming
“Just wanted to pass on my Huge Super thanks to Kate and the team at Palm Clinic. Kate has been in charge of my facials for around 18 months and every time I leave and for a few weeks after people always comment on how lovely my skin looks. Thank you all for your warm and welcoming visits and to Kate for keeping me beautiful.”

“Quality services and excellent patient care. Location is great, easy parking right outside. This clinic has a range of technologies to treat most cosmetic concerns – Dr. Sam Dunn is excellent, very knowledgeable and makes sure you’re comfortable. I was in great hands!’
