CO Aesthetics is a small, clinically-led injectables practice in Alexandra, Central Otago. My work is grounded in a simple belief. Aesthetic medicine, done well, should feel considered, respectful and personal.
The South Island has a natural beauty shaped patiently by time. Every face carries something of the same. My role is to enhance what is already there.

Karlene Papuni Registered Nurse | Founder, CO Aesthetics
After more than 15 years in nursing, I founded CO Aesthetics to combine my medical background with a genuine passion for facial anatomy, skin health and the balance between science and creativity.
Helping people feel more confident through thoughtful, personalised care is what I love most about what I do.
How I work
-
Every client begins with a proper assessment. We talk about your goals, your medical history, and what treatment can realistically achieve for you.
-
CO Aesthetics is run to medical-practice standards. Approved products, sterile technique, prescriber oversight, and evidence-based protocols.
-
I treat conservatively. My aim is for you to look refreshed and balanced, never overdone. Where less will achieve the goal, less is what I'll recommend.
-
If treatment isn't in your best interests, I'll tell you. Your safety, wellbeing and long-term results will always come first.
