Autumn’s gentle shift into winter brings opportunity and renewal. As the temperatures drop and the world changes in colour, you may notice a shift in your mood too. While some speak of “autumn blues”, this season can be a time for transformation and growth.
Rather than saying goodbye to summer with sadness, see this as an opportunity to nurture your skin, prioritise your wellbeing, or set new goals for the months ahead.
We’re here to support you with the latest news and tips to help you stay strong, healthy, and inspired this winter.
Back in March, our new concierge, Zayna, joined Team Irene. We’re thrilled to introduce this dedicated professional in the field of wellness and aesthetics to you. Zayna combines her international training and creative flair with solid expertise. She earned her Image & Style Consultant certification in 2021, followed by a Somatology diploma from Isa Carstens Academy Pretoria and the esteemed CIDESCO qualification in 2024. With over 1,000 hours of practical experience at a leading spa, she now thrives in the field of medical aesthetics at Skin Renewal.
Another prized new team member is Dr Sinead Marais, a passionate medical professional with a special interest in aesthetic medicine. She earned her medical degree from the University of Pretoria in 2019 and completed her internship in Cape Town, gaining valuable experience in general and plastic surgery, as well as in the burns unit. Dr Sinead served the Klerksdorp community before moving on to aesthetic medicine.
Guided by precision and artistry, Dr Sinead is dedicated to helping patients achieve natural, balanced results. Her desire for continued learning led her to train under Dr Maureen Allem and proudly join the Skin Renewal team.
Want to make an impact in your community? There’s nothing like donating blood to tangibly help fellow South Africans when they need it most, potentially saving their lives. We have found a cause that truly requires all the continued support it can get, and we are incredibly proud of Tumi and Minet, our co-leaders, who supported our sister branch, Skin Renewal Brooklyn, during their blood drive.
Who says Easter egg hunts are just for kids? This past Easter, our branch turned tradition on its head and brought the entire team - doctors, therapists, housekeepers, and managers - together for a surprise egg hunt that was as spirited as it was hilarious!
Our staff scattered through the clinic, ducked behind potted plants, peeked under chairs, and even checked in between towels (you never know), looking for where that sneaky bunny might have hidden the treats. Laughter echoed through the building as everyone embraced the joy of the moment—a perfect pause from the busy days.
A huge shoutout to our team for bringing so much energy, togetherness, and laughter to the hunt. From the fastest egg-snatcher to the most ingenious hiding-spot discoverer, every moment was filled with warmth and fun.
Back in April, Dr Trent and two of our patients teed off for a fun 9-hole round at the Midfield Golf Day. And of course, they made sure to protect their skin from UV damage by slathering on the always-trusted Heliocare sunscreen.

Confidence is probably the most beautiful attribute any person can express. And that’s where your health and wellbeing become more than just de-aged or flawless skin. It’s not perfection that builds confidence; it’s seeing the progress and learning to love the imperfect. Valuing health over flawlessness means not only looking more confident, but also really feeling good. And that’s the positive of change. So if you’re feeling a little moody about winter, use your time wisely. That investment in self is never a wasted journey. After all, it’s about you and your emotional well-being.
