Husband and wife team Andre* & Wilma* came to The Melrose Aesthetic Centre after reading about the Detox & Wellness programme on our website. Both of them had problems with their cholesterol and insulin levels as well as being very over-weight. Wilma had quite a task in convincing her husband to join her in visiting the clinic, but once she managed to twist his arm they were well on their way to a happier and healthier life. It’s now been 3 months since they started on the programme and both of them have experienced significant weight-loss (17 and 20 kgs respectively), increased energy levels and their cholesterol levels are normal again. Both of them report that they were initially a bit apprehensive as they’ve tried several diets without much success and were afraid that they were just setting themselves up for failure again. Their concerns were unnecessary and unfounded. Now they describe their newly acquired eating habits as a “lifestyle” and are determined to keep enjoying their more active, confident and social way of living.

Another one of The Melrose Aesthetic Centre’s satisfied clients is currently undergoing a series of laser treatments to remove a scar that she’s had since childhood.  The scar is the product of surgery to her mouth and it’s been bothering her for many years.  Knowing that scar removal sometimes requires a few successive treatments, she was aware that it wasn’t going to happen overnight, but is extremely happy with her results so far. She’s noticed a remarkable reduction in the scar size and visibility. Family and friends have also noticed a vast improvement and she describes herself as “much more confident and sociable”.
