How we rank — and why we don't say "best"

The ASA Therapeutic & Health Advertising Code prohibits unsourced superlatives like "best clinic" or "leading practitioner". Instead we publish the sort criteria:

  • Published Google review count (log-scaled). Each clinic's review count is run through log10(reviews + 1) so a clinic with 200 reviews doesn't bury one with 50. We use review count, not rating — NZ medical clinics cluster 4.5–5.0 stars, so count better reflects sustained patient volume.
  • Verified registration adds a +1 bonus. NZ Society of Cosmetic Medicine (NZSCM) membership requires MCNZ-registered practitioner with cosmetic-medicine vocational scope plus ongoing CPD. Verify at NZ Society of Cosmetic Medicine.
  • Final order: log10(reviews + 1) + (verified ? 1 : 0).

Compare 2–3 clinics in person before deciding. Fit is about patient–practitioner match, not absolute "best".

What to look for in a Wellington appearance medicine clinic

  • MCNZ-registered medical practitioner in the "Cosmetic Medicine" vocational scope — verify on mcnz.org.nz.
  • NZSCM membership — NZ Society of Cosmetic Medicine register lists currently-trained practitioners.
  • Product authenticity — all toxins (Botox / Dysport / Xeomin) and fillers (Restylane / Juvederm / Belotero) must be Medsafe-notified. Counterfeit toxins exist in non-Medsafe supply chains; per-unit pricing below $9 in NZ is a red flag.
  • Complication management — vascular occlusion from fillers is a true emergency. Confirm before booking that the clinic stocks hyaluronidase and has a documented complication-management protocol.
  • Per-unit vs per-area pricing — per-unit ($10-$18) is transparent; per-area ($250-$500) includes a fixed unit allocation. Experienced patients usually prefer per-unit.
