Your skin deserves a specialist.
Integrative dermatology for skin, hair and nails.
Led by New Plymouth's leading dermatologist, Dr. Lisa Connelly.
More than skin deep.
Dermatology is a branch of medicine and at iDerm, we treat it that way. Led by Dr Lisa Connelly, we take an integrative approach to your skin health. Evidence-based medicine, expert skincare, and cosmetic care, all under one roof in New Plymouth.
Dr Connelly brings over 20 years of specialist dermatology expertise to Taranaki, with a particular passion for paediatric dermatology. She is one of only a handful of board-certified paediatric dermatologists in New Zealand and the only one based in New Plymouth. Her approach is simple: take the time to understand your skin, your history, and your goals to help you feel confident in the skin you're in, whatever your age or stage.
