Gerda van Tonder is a creature of habit who doesn’t like change. She also doesn’t have a lot of time to spare as she always puts others first, so she was sceptical when her husband entered her into Mooimaak, kykNET’s most exciting makeover show. Still, she’d always wanted to fix her teeth which had become a financial burden to her, so despite being hesitant, she agreed to let the Skin Renewal team, led by Skin Renewal’s Dr Rulene Mare and therapist Lizanne Burton, give her the makeover of a lifetime.
Aside from giving her a Hollywood smile with the help of dentist Dr JJ Serfontein, they were also able to help her look ten years younger in just nine weeks!
Gerda’s treatments
- Lasers: Limelight laser
- Light: Photo Dynamic Therapy
- Injectables: Dermal fillers and botulinum toxin
- Extra: Jett Plasma eye rejuvenation, a non-surgical brow lift using Silhouette Soft threads
Beautiful brows
Gone are the days where you have to go under the knife or endure a risky full anaesthetic to enjoy the benefits of a procedure that can give you a little lift. To help raise Gerda’s brows, Dr Rulene used Silhouette Soft threads that are inserted under the skin and pulled in a way that creates a very natural-looking lift. The results, which are immediate, ‘opened’ Gerda’s eyes and gave her a fresh, ‘just back from holiday’ appearance. Better yet, the procedure is pain-free, requires no downtime and, as the threads encourage your skin to create more of its own collagen, the effect improves over time.
Eyes alive
Gerda’s always had beautiful eyes, but the passage of time had caused their lids to droop, giving her a tired, ageing appearance. Fortunately, Skin Renewal’s Jett Plasma Eye Rejuvenation procedure uses an incredibly advanced, patented medical device to direct an electrical current into the skin. This stimulates it to start producing more collagen, while immediately tightening what exists, and the result is a firmer-looking, hood-free eye area.
A liquid lift
Skin Renewal’s famous 3D Liquid facelift is another completely knife-free treatment that can dramatically improve the look of wrinkles and plump up areas that have lost volume using a combination of botulinum toxin injections as well as hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.
While it took a few days for the results of the botulinum toxin injections to take effect, the results of the dermal fillers were instant and soon, within just a week, Gerda looked like a younger, more relaxed version of herself. “The deep lines on my forehead, around my eyes and between my brows disappeared,” she said. “The results are simply amazing!”
Her incredible new look wasn’t the only thing that impressed Gerda. “The sincere love, affection and caring shown at each visit was truly inspirational,” she said. “Skin Renewal has now become like an extension of my family. It’s filled with caring, loving, wonderful people and I can recommend it to anyone with confidence.”
