As a medical practitioner working closely with men’s health, I’ve seen firsthand how low testosterone levels can impact more than just physical health — they affect mood, motivation, and mental well-being.

Research shows that low testosterone often coexists with conditions like depression, anxiety, reduced libido, and mood instability. One particular study on low testosterone and depression revealed something significant: Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) can have a moderate anti-depressive effect.

But what’s truly compelling is the clinically significant improvement in depressive symptoms we’re seeing in patients with low testosterone who start TRT. It’s not just about hormones — it’s about restoring quality of life.

We look at how Testosterone affects depression and levels of depression. Low levels of Testosterone co-occur with things like depression, anxiety, low libido...

Weight loss can be life-changing — but it can also reveal the hidden cost of ageing in the face.

In Part 3 of this powerful transformation series, one of our patients opens up about his journey — and how Dr. Mark is helping him restore structure and vitality post-weight loss.

This time, we’re using Sculptra®: a clinically proven collagen biostimulator that works deep within the skin to gradually rebuild lost volume and support healthy ageing. 💉✨

Watch as Dr. Mark treats just one side of the face — and see the remarkable difference unfold in real-time.

Sculptra contains PLLA-SCA (poly-L-lactic acid), trusted worldwide for over 25 years — and now available right here in South Africa.

Obesity is a complex medical condition — and while weight loss can transform health, it can also accelerate the signs of ageing, especially in the face. Whether through medication like semaglutides, bariatric surgery, or intense training, rapid weight loss can result in facial volume loss that's often difficult to reverse.

In this video, one of our patients shares his powerful transformation story — and how we’re helping him restore a youthful appearance post-weight loss.

This is Part 2 in our treatment journey, where Dr. Mark demonstrates the use of a powerful biostimulator: Sculptra, an injectable collagen stimulator containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA). This trusted treatment has been used globally for over 25 years and is now available in South Africa. It works deep within the skin to gradually rebuild collagen, restoring natural structure and smoothing the effects of ageing.

Watch as Dr. Mark treats one side of the face — the difference is immediate and remarkable.

✨ We’ll be sharing progress updates over the next few months as collagen production continues.

Weight loss can change more than just your waistline...

When you lose weight—especially rapidly or in larger amounts—it’s common to notice changes in your face too: more hollow cheeks, loose skin, and a tired or aged appearance.
⠀
While the body feels better, many patients say they don’t recognise themselves in the mirror anymore.

We’re currently working with a patient who’s gone through an inspiring weight loss transformation—and now we’re helping him restore volume, contour, and glow to his face using a combination of aesthetic treatments tailored to his new shape.

✨Think less tired, more refreshed.
✨Not changing who she is—just helping her feel more like herself again.

We’ll be sharing this journey step by step. If you've experienced the same and are curious about how we treat post-weight loss facial ageing, follow along!
