Meet Anneli - your facialist.
Every treatment at Ilu Hub is delivered personally by Anneli. With over a decade of experience, she reads your skin in real time, then brings together skin physiology, deliberate hands-on work, and considered technology in the way your skin actually needs.
Cause before correction
A skin concern is rarely just one thing. Internal factors and barrier condition work together, so the first job is working out what’s actually driving it.
No harsh shortcuts
Stripping the skin back doesn’t speed anything up. Every treatment works with your skin’s natural intelligence – longevity over intensity. Always.
Chosen with intent
Cleverly formulated products earn their place here. Naturally derived ingredients, with actives that support rather than strain the skin.
Designed to relax
Every treatment is paced to let you settle. The hands-on work is deliberate. The face massage is often the point where people properly switch off.
Not sure where to start?
A simple guide.
01
I want to understand my skin properly
Choose this if you’re serious about your skin and want to know why it’s behaving the way it is. We look at what’s driving it, not just what’s showing, and map out where to go from there.
02
I don't know what to book
Choose this if you’d rather read first. Have a look through the treatments: how each modality is chosen for what it targets – texture, barrier, deep correction, structure – and why it’s used that way.
03
I'm still not sure
Choose this if you want to talk it through before committing to anything. Also a good fit if products are really what you’re after, not a treatment. Works just as well online as it does in the Wanaka clinic.
At Ilu Hub, every treatment is designed as therapy for both skin and nervous system. Through intentional touch, science-led actives, and a deep understanding of skin physiology, Anneli creates the conditions for your skin to genuinely heal and thrive - rather than just look temporarily better.
Facial treatments with a clear purpose
Some treatments lift and sculpt. Some restore the barrier. Some calm inflammation. Some work deeper through advanced skin technology. Each one works with your skin and tissue at a different level, which is why I’ve chosen to practice these modalities. Explore what each one actually does, and the right one is usually easy to spot.
A carefully composed hour: deep cleanse, enzyme treatment, massage, mask, scalp massage with products chosen for exactly what your skin needs. Extra modalities available as add-ons.
A more advanced take on microcurrent – muscle toning, LED light therapy, and product infusion combine to lift, firm, and rejuvenate skin from several angles at once.
Microneedling is the preferred option for deeper correction, working with the skin’s own repair response. Results build gradually, and device and technique matter just as much.
A blend of face remodelling, lymphatic drainage, fascial release, and deep muscle work – different techniques, working with different layers of tissue and tension.
Most of what I write starts in the treatment room. The conversations I have with clients - about skin, products, stress, what's actually going on underneath - are where the good questions come from. Some of them have even shaped this website. The journal is where I follow those threads properly: putting skin into perspective, and passing on what's worth knowing. It comes back to the same three things: passion, inspiration, reconnection.
