Charmaine Venter (van Wyk)

Charmaine used to be a detective for the SAPS, and in 1992 started working as head of security on diamond ships for Transhex. She was away for a month at a time, and during one such trip on sea her husband had an aneurism, and passed away four days later. Charmaine’s father could not process her husband’s death and also passed away a month later. Charmain vowed to never marry again. This left Charmaine as a single parent of two daughters and a son, and life was tough for them. She says “God has a sense of humor”, as she fell in love with a family friend and married Gert van Wyk after 5years of being engaged. Charmaine hoped to lose excess weight, gain knowledge on skin and teeth treatments and regain her youthful appearance and confidence.

Body Renewal Medical Weight Loss

"The skin heats quite bit with this treatment, but it is not uncomfortable and my skin glowed afterwards! There was no swelling, redness or adverse reactions, only healthy skin!"

Exilis Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency produces a deep heating effect in the dermis which results in increased and accelerated cell metabolism, oxygenation and nourishment of tissues and improved blood circulation. The results are a lifting and firming effect on the treated tissue by strengthening the skin with improved collagen and fibroblast cell activity.

"The skin heats quite bit with this treatment, but it is not uncomfortable and my skin glowed afterwards! There was no swelling, redness or adverse reactions, only healthy skin!"

PDO Anchor Threads

PDO Anchor threads are dissolvable sutures made from polydioxanone, that are strategically placed deep into the skin where it acts as a framework for lifting and smoothing of sagging loose skin. Dr Graham treated Charmaine’s cheek area for a beautiful lift restoring her youthful look with pronounced cheekbones and no more sagging jowels!

"This treatment stung a bit, but the improvement was fantastic! As I lost the excess weight this helped add the final touches for a sleeker jawline."

Ceccarelli Mesotherapy

By injecting the Ceccarelli solution, made from Vitamin C & Iron, into localised fatty deposits one can contour and re-sculpt the face. For Charmaine the jowel area was treated to re-define her jaw line and remove the heavy sagging deposits. The solution acts on the fat cells and causes a natural process of fat cell death (cell apotosis), and visible results are seen the next day.

Histofreeze
