Aesthetic Medicine

Hi, I am Dr Alex – an Aesthetic Doctor based at Phoenix Holistic Health in Constantia, Cape Town. I have become known for my conservative / natural approach to aesthetic medicine.

Caring for skin and looking younger

Is ultimately achieved from within.

I have honed the art and skill of injectable Botulinum Toxin and use very specific and customized doses in the muscles of facial expression. The Botulinum toxin softens muscle action which leads to the reduction of the appearance of wrinkles. I also offer some other gentle facial rejuvenation procedures including the Bionutrilift (link) and Mint facial sculpting threads (link). Excellent anatomy knowledge and an aesthetic flair is needed for the perfect result.

Caring for the skin and “looking younger” is ultimately achieved from within.  Supporting liver health and curbing the effects of oxidative stress are paramount to slowing the ageing process. Some of my favourite tools for anti-ageing and skin are celery juice and cucumber juice.  I also recommend clean, chemical free skincare products.

I also offer Ceccarrelli fat dissolving injections (button) and a take home tooth whitening kit (button). Botulinum toxin can also be used in tense jaw, temple and neck muscles for the reduction of pain and tension related to jaw clenching and headaches (button). Whilst Botulinum toxin is a toxin and a pharmaceutical, knowledge of how to limit its detrimental effects and how to support liver health is very important.

Aesthetic Treatments

Bionutrilift

Bionutrilift is an excellent duo of two treatments, which work effectively in the fight against signs of ageing. It nourishes and restores hydration and glow to the skin and lifts the face, thanks to the synergistic use of two products, NCTF and ART FILLER, FINE LINES.

Bionutrilift

NCTF is rich in hyaluronic acid and contains 59 skin stimulating and anti-ageing ingredients. This truly revolutionary technique provides multi-level hydration of all layers of the skin and epidermis. It provides a long-lasting lifting effect of between 12 and 18 months, revitalises the skin, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibres and smoothes out small wrinkles. It is a great preventive treatment that prolongs the young and healthy appearance of the skin.

Mint Facial Sculpting Threads

This safe and effective minimally invasive method is excellent for lifting sagging skin. No downtime is required.

Mint Facial Sculpting Threads

The Mint thread has a special patented design where barbs have been moulded 360 degrees around the thread, unlike other threads. This results in a stronger and more long lasting thread lift.

Ceccarelli Fat Dissolving Injections

Ceccarelli lipolytic solution, a non-surgical fat lipolysis solution formulated with Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and minimal amounts of iron, was formulated by Professor Ceccarelli, a regenerative and physiological scientist in Rome, Italy.

Ceccarelli Fat Dissolving Injections

Injected into the target site, the solution triggers the natural death of fat cells through apoptosis. Micro-injections of a specialised lipolytic solution with Vitamin C & iron, to dissolve small localised areas of fat for example jowls, under chin & under eye fat pads. A course of 3 treatments is recommended for optimal results. During treatment, it is common to feel a tingling/burning sensation in the treated area for for a period of time, usually relieving within 30 minutes. It is helpful to hydrate and to drink plenty of liquids for the week after the injections. Bruising and swelling can be expected in the treated area for a few days.
