The recent two day medical aesthetic convention held at the Spier in Stellenbosch, Cape Town was both educational and informative for all delegates attending this exciting event. The Gentle art of peeling workshop, given by Dr Duncan Carmichael, involved both theoretical and practical information on the latest peeling ingredients. He also advised how best to select the correct peeling solution for which indication, followed by some practical advice on the best way to apply and remove the peeling solution from the skin post treatment. Dr Gordon Cohen and Cherie Fraser from the Melrose Aesthetic Centre also did a rather dynamic presentation. The two of them gave an informative presentation on laser skin rejuvenation which included rather impressive results that they had achieved ithin their own practice. Dr Cohen also shared his own personal experience and photographs of his treatment, using this as an illustration of what patients would experience post treatment and how long the healing process would take before results would be visible. Day two was an exciting day; Dr Nerina Wilkinson gave a lecture on injectables, sharing her vast knowledge and expertise on this topic. This was followed by a very intensive demonstration with Botox and fillers whereby Dr Wilkinson demonstrated a complete makeover on a patient. Thank you very much to Allergan for the sponsorship of the products used for this particular demonstration. Topics of Ethical considerations and the consumer Protection Act were also covered in the Cape Town convention by attorney Ulundi Behrtel enabling the delegates to receive 4 ethics points. The feedback from the 45 delegates that attended the convention was very positive, and many felt that the beautiful venue added to the experience. Watch out for the program, for the next Medical Aesthetic Convention. It is a 3 day event and will be held in Johannesburg at Gallagher Estate at the beginning of September 2012.

Powers Motsileng had a problem with ingrown hair due to shaving. She decided to try laser hair removal at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre.  Altough initially concerned that she would be wasting her money on something that wouldn’t work, she decided to go ahead anyway.  A few treatments later she is delighted with the results and can even sleep later in the mornings because she doesn’t have to shave! She also remarks how the fact that she doesn’t have “bumps” anymore has improved her self-esteem.

“Being an African woman, I thought there was not cure for my pigmentation and acne break-outs.
I decided to undergo the Cosmelan depigmentation treatment at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre and was pleasantly surprised at the results.  My skin is smooth and blemish free.  Even my husband mentioned that this is the only treatment that has ever worked.  My initial fear was that it wouldn’t be successful as I have tried so many products, but this was the only treatment that I had tried in 7 years that reduced my scars and removed my acne & pigmentation.
I no longer wear layers and layers of make-up.  Now I only wear make-up because I want to, not because I have to. 

Dr Gordon Cohen, you are the best!”
