Your Skin Confidence Hub on the Gold Coast
Welcome to Maxwells Skin & Body Clinic, a luxurious and boutique skin and body sanctuary nestled in the heart of Main Beach, Gold Coast. With more than 30 years of experience in skin cell biology and the biochemistry of ageing, our founder Julie Maxwell has built this clinic on a foundation of science and true care.
Our Story

Julie’s journey began far from the spa world, in the charming town of Maitland, in NSW’s Hunter Valley. While studying gemmology and working in a local jewellery store, she discovered a deep love of beauty and precision. That same curiosity eventually led her to the beauty industry, where she trained and refined her expertise in glycolic acid treatments, even becoming a national lecturer in the technique.
Her travels took her across the world, from Italy to New York, Paris, and beyond, exploring the most renowned salons and aesthetic ateliers. But Julie wanted more than observation; she wanted hands-on connection with clients. So she returned to Australia to open a space that was highly effective and rooted in education.
Maxwells Skin & Body Clinic was born on Tedder Avenue in Main Beach, a boutique clinic combining scientific skincare with warm, individualised care.
Our Mission & Philosophy
At Maxwells Skin & Body Clinic, we believe every person deserves skin that feels healthy. We don’t chase quick fixes, we’re here to support long-term skin health.
We provide honest and science-driven advice so that your skin journey is sustainable and results-oriented.
We prioritise education, both for our clients and within our team. Julie regularly attends international seminars to bring the very latest, evidence-based treatment to the Gold Coast.
We deeply value integrity in skincare. Our in-house skincare line is cruelty-free, drug-free, and powered by bio-effective, high-performance ingredients.

Breaking Bad Skin Habits

It’s what’s inside that counts
Always read the label, there are some ingredients found in a plethora of products that will do more harm than good to your skin. It is best to stay away from these little nasties: Parabens, Sodium Lauryl or Laureth Sulfates.

Fatal Attraction
Don’t be seduced by beautiful packaging and brand names. Much of what you are actually paying for is exactly that and rarely do these products deliver what they promise. Save your pennies, no amount of Chanel gentle exfoliator will compare to our extraction method facials.

Natural Women
Sounds good doesn’t it? Natural? Well, it may sound good and bring out the eco warrior in you, but sadly generic natural skin care provides little to no visible benefits to its users. Sure, Mother Nature provides many wonders of which we are all thankful, but scientifically proven anti-aging products are not one of them. Word of the wise, only use products with standardised levels of active ingredients.
