From a non-surgical facelift of our own, to a fond farewell and a warm welcome, from super-effective treatments and our current ‘favourite child’ in the serum department to team news, professionally, and family news, we’ve got all sorts of interesting news to share with you, so get cosy and have a read…
We are incredibly excited about – and proud of – our branch’s brand new look, which was recently completed in line with Skin Renewal’s group-wide rebrand.
We’re loving the bold new logo and the slick new gold, white and black aesthetic. From the signage at our entrance to the décor details and bright, uncluttered spaces, we’re sure you’ll agree that, as non-surgical facelifts go, our branch’s makeover is sure to turn heads for all the right reasons!

We love celebrating with our Skin Renewal family and the last couple of months have seen several milestones we’d like to share with you!
“Congratulations!” to Zeenat on the birth of baby Zaj, who we are sure made her birthday on 5 August a very special one – her first as a mom.

Born and raised in Strand, Mari matriculated from Staand High School in 2003. Thereafter, she met an aesthetician and became interested in skincare, which led to her studying at the Paarl Institute of Skin and Body Technology, graduating in 2005 and – when the travel bug bit – headed off to work on the cruise ships. After traveling the Caribbean and Mediterranean for five years, and figuring out her favourite country is Croatia, she was ready to hone her skincare skills further… this time on land.
On her return, she worked in the spa industry in Plettenberg Bay for three years before moving back to Cape Town in 2013 where she joined a big spa group and earned the title of Spa Manager in 2016. But, despite her success in the spa world, her love for aesthetics tugged at her professional heart strings and, when the opportunity to join the Skin Renewal family came up, she jumped at it!
Meet Mari Botha, the new friendly face behind our desk
We’re going to miss the lovely Candice so much but we wish her all the best on her new adventure, as she takes her beautiful smile and wonderful work ethic to Doha.
Have fun in Doha, Candice, and please pop in when you're in South Africa again!
Always renovating and creating, Marzet is at it again with her latest project - her bathroom! We can't wait to see the end result!
The passion for hunting comes naturally to Dr Dalize, who went on a hunting trip recently. We are loving her outfit!
At Skin Renewal, we pride ourselves on being kind to our planet and leaving as light a footprint as possible. Our ethos is imparting this knowledge to staff at every level, but nothing makes us happier than individuals who go out of their way to do the same. Here Dr Helenka from Skin Renewal Willowbridge promotes recycling by taking items to be recycled at the Willowbridge Shopping Centre recycle point. Did we hear Mother Earth do a happy dance?
We love it when @donnakennedymeyer and @laeeqa29 pop in for their Skin Renewal treatments and show us love – and their glowing, healthy skin – on the ‘gram. If you already follow these content-creating glow-getters, we’re sure you’ll agree that both Donna and La’eeqa look absolutely gorgeous whether they’re posting #nomakeupselfies or super glam share-worthy reels.
A day without serum is like… Just kidding, we have no idea! And, when it comes to serums, this month we’re loving SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment
This product is ideal for out-of-balance skin types which includes dehydration, sensitivity, discolouration, dullness and acne. Its lightweight formulation improves skin texture as well as clarity.
It is a daily treatment to reduce excess oiliness, as well as redness, while reducing pore appearances. The unique combination of azelaic acid, Alpha Arbutin and Phyto Botanical Blend clarifies clogging inside pores, and smoothes out rough skin texture.

Described as “The future of hybrid injectables”, HArmonyCa is the hybrid injectable proven to deliver clinically significant results in the targeted areas of more than 90% of patients.
Designed to restore facial volume and correct deficiencies, HArmonyCa dermal filler promotes the generation of natural collagen synthesised by the body, using Calcium Hydroxyapatite microspheres to embed cross-linked hyaluronic acid via a particle-creating composite matrix. If you found yourself frowning while reading that then don’t worry about the science, rather focus on the evidence-based results courtesy of ‘power duo’ Calcium Hydroxyapatite and hyaluronic acid in one syringe.
The concentration of each active ingredient is similar to that of standalone Calcium Hydroxyapatite and hyaluronic acid dermal fillers combined in one syringe, which means you get firmer, plumper, younger-looking skin that’s hydrated, moisturised and seems to glow from within. And, the combination of these two anti-ageing superheroes rebuilds the scaffolding of your skin from deep within the dermal layers, literally supporting the layer of your face that the world sees.
If reading this has piqued your interest and you’re looking at your reflection in the mirror thinking, “What if my skin was a bit fuller, firmer, fresher?” while you apply your nightly serums and creams, chat to Dr Ross or any one of our world-class therapists or doctors at our branch about how HArmonyCa could be the skincare secret weapon you’ve been waiting for.
Dr Ross Connor is available at our branch on tuesday mornings as well as thursday afternoons. He also has saturday appointments available - please check in with us to confirm his availability.
Mention the word laser, and those with a darker complexion tend to shy away, but please don't! At Skin Renewal we treat our skin type 4, 5 & 6 patients with the utmost care, ensuring that only devices which are safe and effective on dark skins are used.
