Shine Skin and Body is a specialist skin clinic in Richmond, Melbourne, focused on acne, congestion, ageing and overall skin health. Our services include hand performed extraction facials, carbon facials (also known as the China Doll Facial), IPL skin rejuvenation, fractionated laser and fully customised facials. Every treatment is tailored to your skin type and concerns, with a strong focus on restoring skin health and getting real results.

We’re known across Melbourne for gentle, thorough acne extractions: no metal tools, no unnecessary trauma. This technique, developed and refined by our founder Sheridan since 1999, lets us deeply cleanse the skin while protecting its integrity. It’s ideal for acne, blackheads, congestion and breakout prone skin, and yes, we do a lot of extractions. Some facials include up to 40 minutes of it, if your skin needs it. If you’ve ever left a facial feeling like they didn’t get everything, you’ll feel the difference here.

Our extraction technique comes from over two decades of experience and an obsession with clear skin. We don’t rush. We take the time to treat what’s actually there, safely and thoroughly, without leaving you red raw or scarred. If clean, calm skin is the goal, this is where you’ll find it.

Yes. While we’re best known for treating acne and congestion, our focus is healthy, functioning skin, whatever your starting point. Every facial is customised to what your skin needs, whether that’s dehydration, sensitivity, pigmentation or dullness. We’re working toward long term skin health, not a one size fits all treatment.

An extraction facial is a hands on treatment that manually clears blackheads, closed comedones, milia and congestion, without needles or harsh tools. At Shine, extractions are performed entirely by hand, which is gentler on the skin and allows far more thorough results than most Melbourne clinics offer.

No. Extractions are what we’re known for, but they’re never mandatory. If your skin doesn’t need them, or you’d simply rather not, we leave them out. Every facial is built around what your skin needs on the day, not a set formula.

Cystic acne responds best to a combination of professional extractions, a treatment plan that addresses the underlying cause, and homecare built for your specific skin. At Shine, every cystic acne client starts with a Discovery Facial and consultation so we can treat the root cause, not just the breakout.

The Skin Foundations facials is the first step at Shine. It gives us time to properly understand your skin, your history and your goals, through a full consultation, a customised facial and a treatment plan built specifically for you. Great results start with a practitioner who actually listens, and that’s where your skin journey with us begins.

We take a skin health first approach to ageing. Our Ultimate Anti-Ageing Facial combines IPL and fractionated laser to stimulate collagen, fade pigmentation and restore tone and elasticity, treating the face, neck and décolletage where ageing often shows first. The goal is skin that ages the way it’s meant to, not a rushed fix.

Because we are amazing 🤣 seriously! At Shine, it’s not just about the facial. You’ll learn everything you ever wanted to know about YOUR skin—and probably things you never even thought to ask. Our team is made up of skin-only specialists; we live and breathe skin science. It’s all we do, and all we study. Our philosophy is simple: when your skin functions well, 70% of your concerns disappear. So if you’re ready to understand your skin, treat the root cause, and get real results, we are your people

You’ll find us at 323 Swan Street, Richmond, VIC 3121. You can book online through our website or give us a call. We recommend all new clients begin with the Discovery Facial so we can start your skin journey the right way—personalised, professional, and results-driven.
