Hüd is the brainchild of Norwegian beauty and skin expert Gry Tømte – an émigré who has devoted herself to effective skincare and treatments after suffering the torment of acne in her twenties. The result of Tømte's investigations led her to open Hüd's first centre on St Kilda Road in 2017 – the perfect union of efficacy, beautiful design, clinical knowledge and relaxation.
The interior aesethic is the height of Scandi cool – think blonde wood, natural light, lush plants and treatment rooms that wouldn't look out of place in a lifestyle mag. Every element has been carefully curated to ensure you feel relaxed and ready to unwind from the moment you step inside. It may be a certified skin clinic, but there's nothing clinical about the decor.
When it comes to the treatments available, the St Kilda clinic offers everything from Potenza RF Needling (which combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin production) to Enzyme Lymphatic Therapy (which works with the body’s own chemistry to rejuvenate the skin). You can also book in for skin needling, laser sessions and BBL Hero – aka BroadBand Light High Energy Rapid Output. It targets pigmentation, signs of ageing, acne and redness.
While the treatments are results-driven, they are also super relaxing for the most part (don't be surprised if you doze off during some of them). The team of clinicians at Hüd are also highly qualified to provide informed recommendations and answer all your skin-related questions – it's a no judgement zone, so feel free to speak honestly about your concerns and queries.
