Every person has gone through it, no matter what you look like: One day, you wake up feeling like the most confident person in the world, and the next day you feel as unattractive as the dark soul you’re trying to hide. So you sit pondering on what a little bit of plastic surgery would do to improve your looks by hitching an eyebrow here or tightening a cheek there.
But please, we beg of you, stop right there. The long-term effects of surgery are horrific – especially if you’re pretty young. So for certain touch ups, you should check out the large range of non-surgical procedures that are offered in the Western Cape, KZN and Gauteng at various Skin Renewal branches.
A facial contouring procedure that involves the use of strategically placed injectable wrinkle reduction treatments and dermal fillers around the face. The 3D Liquid Facelift is the latest cutting edge technology in Europe. Also known as the 3D Vector Facelift, Dr. Maureen Allem brought this technique back to her practice after attending the Monte Carlo congress in 2011. By using cannulas instead of needles, the blunt-tips represent a paradigm shift in the injection techniques used by aesthetic physicians who perform injectable filler treatments.
This “injectable facelift” can create a younger, plumper look and address concerns such as lines, wrinkles, volume loss and sagging. It is typically more subtle than surgery and an increasing number of individuals are trying 3D Liquid Facelift procedures before traditional face lift procedures. Here’s what you need to know:

This is just the medical term for excessive sweating in the palms. Although sweating is necessary for our body to maintain core body temperature sweating has both thermoregulatory and emotional variants. The human body has 4 million sweat glands distributed on all areas of the skin, with higher concentrations found on the palms, soles, axillae and face.
Palmar hyperhidrosis is a medical problem that involves more sweating than what is required by our body. And some people get really smelly feat or sticky hand because of it. This overactivity of the sweat glands is present in 1 % of the population and a family history is present in 30 to 50 % of patients suggesting a genetic component. Here’s what you need to know:
This is one of Skin Renewal’s newer procedures. Creating a well-toned, smooth neck as well as a lifted jawline, the procedure takes it name from Queen Nefertiti whose elegant bone structures continue to admire in modern times.
The Nefertiti neck lift is a new technique achieved by placing multiple injections along the lower jaw line as well as down the side of the neck along the platysma muscles. These muscles are responsible for pulling the jawline down. So, by relaxing these muscles, the definition of the jaw line can be improved by rebalancing the underlying muscles to provide ‘lifting’ in the neck and jaw area. Here’s what you need to know:
