STOCK ALERT! 🚨

Healthy hair starts from within — and this is where I often begin with my patients.

The DO. HAIR Support Capsules are part of the full-circle approach I take to managing hair loss and promoting regrowth. Formulated with zinc, MSM, biotin, and vitamin E, they support follicle health, reduce breakage, and improve hair strength — from root to tip.

As a dermatologist and hair restoration specialist, I developed this range to bridge the gap between science and daily care — because real results need more than quick fixes.

Dermatology is about more than just diagnosis — it’s about observation, understanding, and connection.

This isn’t a rushed appointment. It’s a conversation — and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

I developed the DO. HAIR range with one clear goal — to offer real, results-driven solutions for healthier, fuller hair.

This Lash & Brow Serum is a favourite in the range — designed to strengthen and enhance thinning lashes and brows using dermatologist-approved ingredients. It’s gentle, effective, and backed by the same clinical approach I use in practice.

Because confidence often starts with the smallest details.

If you’re experiencing hair thinning — whether scalp, brows, or lashes — let’s talk about a plan that’s right for you.

🔬 What is Surgical Dermatology?
Surgical dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating skin conditions that may require a medical procedure – from removing moles and cysts to treating skin cancers.

As a certified specialist in advanced dermatologic surgery, I use precise, evidence-based techniques – to ensure both medical success and aesthetic outcomes.

🧠 Skin health is more than skin deep.

Skin cancer doesn’t always look dangerous — that’s why we use the most advanced tools available to detect changes before they become serious.

This is the ATBM system: AI-assisted total body mole mapping. It allows us to track every mole and spot over time with unmatched precision.

For those with a personal or family history of skin cancer, this technology is a game-changer.

Early detection starts here.

🎃 3 SCARY Skincare Myths I Hear All the Time:

“Oily skin doesn’t need moisturiser” – False. Dehydrated skin = more oil!

“If it burns, it’s working” – No! That’s irritation, not effectiveness.

“Natural means safe” – Not always. Poison ivy is natural too.

Don’t be spooked by skincare nonsense. Stick to expert-backed routines.

Dry, itchy, irritated skin? It could be more than “just dry skin.”

Conditions like eczema or psoriasis are chronic and can significantly impact quality of life — but they’re treatable with the right guidance.

The 3 most common mistakes I see in patients trying to treat hair loss:
1️⃣ Using random oils or “natural” hacks
2️⃣ Ignoring early signs of shedding
3️⃣ Relying only on vitamins

Instead, treat both the scalp and the root cause. That’s what the DO. HAIR Growth Kit is designed for.

🔬 Mole Mapping could save your life.

In South Africa, where UV exposure is high, regular skin checks are vital — especially if you have:
✔️ A personal or family history of skin cancer
✔️ Multiple moles or freckles
✔️ Light skin or a history of sunburn

At the Dermatology & Hair Institute, we offer full-body mole mapping using advanced imaging technology to track mole changes over time — allowing for early detection of skin cancers like melanoma.

👨‍⚕️ Expert-led. Confidential. Peace of mind.

Acne isn’t just a teenage problem – many adults suffer from hormonal or inflammatory acne too. And untreated, it can lead to scarring and pigmentation.

As a dermatologist, I help patients with:
✅ Prescription topical or oral treatments
✅ In-clinic peels or procedures
✅ Lifestyle & skin barrier education

You don’t have to fight acne alone — let’s treat it properly, from the root.
