Article in Oct 2009 issue of Elle Magazine
In July Dr Ludick was invited to address an audience of Elle readers at one of the magazine’s monthly workshops held at Hyde Park Shopping Centre. The topic of the workshop was “Anti-Ageing” and Dr Ludick had a captive audience in the 100+ Elle readers who attended the workshop. The evening started off with drinks and canapés, followed by informative demonstrations and speeches by a few select speakers, including Dr Ludick. Afterwards the members of the audience were given the opportunity to ask questions and the general consensus among all those who attended was that the event was huge success and well worth repeating in the near future. .
