🔬 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.
👨‍⚕️ Follow me for more insights into surgical dermatology and how to protect your skin long-term.

🌍 South Africa has one of the highest incidences of skin cancer worldwide. The earlier we detect suspicious changes, the better the outcome.

🔬 With our FotoFinder Mole Mapping system, we can capture detailed images of your skin and track mole changes over time. Even the slightest variations are detected — long before the eye would notice.

🌞 If you have fair skin, many moles, or a family history of melanoma, regular mole mapping could be life-saving.

📍 Available at our Pinelands practice.

🩺 Surgical dermatology is about more than simply removing lesions — it’s a field dedicated to the precise diagnosis, treatment, and repair of skin conditions that require a surgical approach.

From skin cancer excisions and reconstructive procedures to removing cysts and growths, every surgery is performed with a focus on both medical safety and cosmetic outcomes.

✨ With advanced training and years of experience, I ensure that your skin receives the highest level of care.

Healthy hair starts from within — and sometimes, that journey begins in a chair just like this.

The DO. HAIR Support Capsules, developed under my guidance, combine Zinc, MSM, Biotin, and Vitamin E to nourish your hair from the inside out. It’s one of the first steps I recommend for patients experiencing hair thinning, breakage, or nutritional scalp issues.

But real results come from personalised care. Every patient is different — and I believe in targeted plans that work for you.

🩺 Book a consultation with me at the Dermatology Cancer & Hair Institute in Cape Town. Let’s uncover the why behind your hair loss — and give your hair the support it needs to grow stronger again.

Lashes and brows thinning out? You’re not imagining it — and you don’t have to accept it.

The DO. HAIR Lash & Brow Serum was developed to help restore density and vitality to thinning lashes and brows using dermatologist-approved ingredients. It’s a targeted solution I recommend often in my practice — especially for those dealing with hair loss due to ageing, stress, or over-plucking.

If you’re noticing changes in your hair, brows or lashes, it’s worth having a proper assessment. Early intervention can make all the difference.

Tretinoin isn’t just a skincare trend — it’s a dermatologist-prescribed powerhouse. Whether you’re struggling with acne, pigmentation or early signs of ageing, it’s one of the most effective topical solutions we have.

But it’s not one-size-fits-all.

As a specialist dermatologist, I take a personalised approach to ensure tretinoin is introduced safely and effectively based on your skin type and goals. Side effects like irritation or peeling can be avoided with the right guidance.

Let’s build a plan tailored to your skin.

I developed the DO. HAIR Beard Serum because so many of my patients were struggling with patchiness, dryness, and breakage — and didn’t have a product that was both effective and skin-safe.

This serum is lightweight, non-greasy, and designed to nourish your beard and the skin underneath. Whether you’re growing it out or maintaining what you have, this is daily care that makes a real difference.
