Client Lerato had the most unusual habit of eating soil and ice, but apart from that she was also very over-weight and describes herself as “Saartjie Baartman”-like in physique.
Having tried “every diet under the sun” and after both her brother and her sister made remarks about her weight she decided that it was time for action. Her sister referred her to The Melrose Aesthetic Centre website and she booked a consultation with Dr Cohen. She was quite nervous about embarking on this new venture – her initial fear being that this would be just another diet like all the others she had tried without success. Her concerns soon disappeared after she found the eating plan to be rather “user friendly” and easy to follow. She was even more convinced that it would be a success when her skin started clearing and her clothes started to feel loose after only 2 weeks of following the eating plan. In her own words Lerato describes her first few weeks on the Detox programme as follow: “Everyone is commenting on my clearer skin, my smaller face and even my skeptics are noticing my flat tummy”. And on top of it all her iron deficiency – the cause of the soil eating – is now also under control!

Having suffered from problematic, acneic skin for most of her life, client Morvesha decided to visit The Melrose Aesthetic Centre in search for a solution to her problem. Expecting to be undergoing a series of skin treatments or given a product range to use, she was slightly surprised when Dr Cohen prescribed the Detox and Wellness programme. Dr Cohen made this recommendation because the results of the blood tests he had sent Morvesha for showed certain hormonal- and other imbalances which he wanted to rectify in an attempt to address the cause of her skin condition – rather than just treating the symptoms.
Initially Morvesha was a bit concerned about being restricted to certain foods, but quickly learned that there was such a huge variety of food included in the eating plan that there was more than enough choice to make for interesting, yet healthy eating throughout the day.
Expecting to see an improvement after a long period of time, Morvesha was once again surprised when her skin started to clear almost immediately. After a week of following the eating plan the inflammation was drastically reduced and after 2 weeks it was gone! Here’s what Morvesha had to say about her experience: “My husband compliments me all the time. People say I look happier and more relaxed and I owe it to the improvement in my skin. I feel more confident, active and energetic. This is an excellent programme for overall well-being and I will definitely recommend it to anybody.”

Dear Dr Cohen,
When I came for my first consultation I felt most comfortable with you and knew there and then I could trust whatever you suggested. The Botox was done most professionally – you rock when it comes to Botox! Years of lying in the sun at any available opportunity, without using any sun protection had taken its toll and my skin showed the signs of the damage that had been done in my youth. You recommended a laser treatment which wasn’t painful at all and within a few weeks I could see a remarkable difference. My skin is now blemish- and wrinkle free and my face looks like the face of a much younger person. The results were excellent – much better than I ever expected or hoped for. Dr Cohen and his team are exceptionally competent in laser and all other aesthetic procedures. My laser resurfacing was a fantastic experience and I will certainly be a regular visitor to The Melrose Aesthetic Centre. I would recommend this treatment to anybody who wants to take years off their face and entrust them in the care of a wonderful man – Dr Gordon Cohen.
