BOTOX
Botulinum Toxin is a purified botulinum neurotoxin type A complex, produced from a culture of the A strain of bacteria called Clostridium Botulinum Type A.
Botulinum Toxin works by preventing the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from the nerve endings at the neuromuscular junction which inhibits the contraction of the muscle for a duration of time (3 – 4 months).This reduction in muscle contraction means that the overlying skin can relax giving it a wrinkle free look.
Botulinum Toxin has been used safely for over 15 years in the treatment of muscle disorders of the eyes and voice box, headaches, spasticity of the stomach, spasticity associated with cerebral palsy, and other neuromuscular disorders, in addition to its cosmetic indications.
DERMAL FILLERS
Injectable filler is a soft gel like substance that is injected into the skin at different depths to help fill in facial wrinkles, provide facial volume, and augment facial features.
Most dermal fillers are composed out of hyaluronic acid (HA) which is a type of temporary dermal filler. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body and has the ability to attract a lot of water which leads to our skins being hydrated and plump.
As we age, we start to see a decline in fat volume, muscle density, skin elasticity and bony structure changes in the body. In the face it presents as sagging, fine lines, wrinkles, folds, thinning of the lips and hollowing underneath the eyes and temples.
With the aid of these fillers we can add volume, create structure, and reduce the appearance of lines and sagging, restoring the 3-dimentional contours of the face.
Areas that can be treated include:
- nasolabial folds
- hollowness underneath the eyes (“tear-trough deformity”)
- wrinkles (around the mouth, cheeks.)
- marionette lines
- thin lips
DERMAPEN
Dermapen is an advanced skin needling technique and makes use of multiple needles (16) that vertically and precisely pierce the skin, activating the skin’s natural healing process.
These “micro wounds” stimulates collagen production and as the skin responds, it plumps and thickens, reducing the appearance of scars, wrinkles and fine lines.
Conditions that can be treated include:
- Mild to moderate acne scarring (acne scars, keloids)
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Stretch marks
- Skin with big pores and bad texture
- Pigmentation
A serum or peel can be added to a dermapen treatment as there is superior absorption. This increased absorption of active ingredients into the skin is because of the fine channels created within the skin by the needle tips.
Theses channels carry up to 80% more topical nutrients deep into the skin’s fibroblasts to feed the underlying cells found in the dermis and basal layers of the skin creating stimulated repair and faster resurfacing results
Weight management and cellulite treatment
Innovative approaches to weight loss and weight management have expanded beyond traditional methods. From injectables to personalized DNA testing, individuals now have a diverse range of options to explore. Let’s delve into a brief overview of some of these cutting-edge solutions:
1. **Weight Loss with Injectables**: Injectable medications, such as semaglutide, offer a novel approach to weight loss. These medications can help regulate appetite and promote fat loss when combined with lifestyle modifications. Consultation with a healthcare provider is essential to determine if injectables are a suitable option for achieving weight loss goals.
2. **Cellulite Treatment with Cellucut Tablets**: Cellucut tablets are emerging as a potential solution for reducing the appearance of cellulite. These tablets often contain a combination of natural ingredients designed to target fat cells and improve skin elasticity, potentially diminishing the appearance of cellulite. While results may vary, incorporating Cellucut tablets into a comprehensive skincare regimen may offer benefits for those seeking smoother, firmer skin.
3. **Weight Management with DNA Test**: Personalized DNA testing has revolutionized weight management by providing insights into individual genetic predispositions related to metabolism, nutrient absorption, and more. By understanding genetic factors influencing weight, individuals can tailor their diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices accordingly for more personalized and effective weight management strategies.
4. **Weight Loss with SPREZZATURA**:This SAHPRA approved and NAPPI CODED Wellness and Weight Loss Programme is an easy to follow 12-week resource portal and supplementation programme that assists men and women to LIVE LIFE WELL.

Skin rejuvenating injectables - Biostimulation and bioremodeling
Skin rejuvenating injectables have revolutionized the field of aesthetic medicine, offering non-surgical solutions to address various signs of aging and enhance overall skin quality. Among the notable injectables are Prophylo, Nucleofill, and Aesplla, each uniquely formulated to target specific concerns and deliver exceptional results.
Prophylo, primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, is a versatile injectable filler renowned for its ability to replenish lost volume, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and restore hydration to the skin. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, attracts and retains moisture, resulting in plumper, more youthful-looking skin with improved elasticity.
Nucleofill (under eyes + face)/Amy Eyes (under eye wrinkles/discolouration) stands out as an innovative injectable containing polynucleotides, which are DNA fragments derived from biological origin. This advanced formula stimulates collagen production, enhances skin elasticity, and promotes tissue regeneration, leading to firmer, more radiant skin. Nucleofill offers a holistic approach to skin rejuvenation, addressing both superficial and deeper layers for comprehensive results.
Aesplla, formulated with Poly-L-Lactic acid, is a bio-stimulatory injectable renowned for its ability to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. As collagen levels increase over time, Aesplla gradually restores volume, smooths wrinkles, and improves skin texture, resulting in a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. Its unique mechanism of action makes it particularly effective for treating volume loss and enhancing facial contours.
These skin rejuvenating injectables exemplify the advancements in aesthetic medicine, providing safe, effective, and minimally invasive options for achieving youthful, radiant skin. Whether used individually or in combination, Prophylo, Nucleofill, and Aesplla offer tailored solutions to address diverse concerns and empower individuals to look and feel their best at any age
