After 25, collagen production begins to decline, and we lose it a little more each year. Collagen is what keeps skin firm, smooth, and youthful. As levels decrease, we start to notice fine lines, loss of elasticity, dullness, and thinning skin.
The good news? We can stimulate it again.
At The Rejuvenation Lab, regenerative treatments like PRP therapy work with your body to naturally boost collagen production and restore skin quality from within.
Because prevention is powerful, and it’s never too early (or too late) to invest in your skin.
✨ Healthy skin is timeless.

The only way to start a good story is by starting at the end. The story of Forward Health encapsulates the essence of progression and that the end is never truly the end but rather midway to an always changing goal. This does not mean we do not aim to achieve but rather reevaluate the best chosen outcome frequently so that our colleagues, patients and friends always receive the benefit of our actions. To start would be to define our service industry and services: We aim to provide personal wound care, stoma care and lifestyle nutrition services within the Plettenberg Bay and Garden Route region. Our services include wound/stoma care in-hospital, in-room or home care as well as nutrition and lifestyle services.
The history of Forward Health is a love story from the heavens. God-intertwined creation into the constant progressing business it is today. Let us go back to 2016, the cold month of July and find ourselves in the corridors of Plettenberg Bay MediClinic. The patient - Eben Niemann in dire pain and distress after a second rupture of his colon 24 hours after his first chemotherapy session. The operation was set for disaster knowing septicemia has been rampant in already compromised body. Eben was set for theater and after a grueling operation returned with much of his colon removed, a new colostomy and fistula, and according to oncology - no real sense of survival. The recovery process in hospital formulated the divine meeting of Sr Yolandi de Hoog. The process of finding love in a hopeless place promised more than could be imagined. Unfortunately, after Eben’s discharge from hospital put the amazing chemistry on hold. Eben had to go home and recover and Sr Yolandi back to work. The relationship was put on hold due to other love interests and complications.
Eben was forced into broadening his vision and was introduced to a naturopath by the name of Dr Chris de Beer. Dr Chris used blood analysis and dietary supplements to help Eben break the spell of cancer and achieved full recovery and remission by the January of 2017. During this time he was undergoing severe 8 hour sessions of chemotherapy every 3 weeks. It is important to note that without faith in God’s promise of life, Eben would not be here right now.
Meanwhile back in Plettenberg Bay - Sr Yolandi de Hoog hard at work as senior nurse at the young age of 26 in MediClinic, was approached by a doctor to open her own wound care clinic. The idea lay dormant for a while but after stress levels and a underlying growing love for Eben, the idea could not be contained no longer.
Eben Niemann achieved full recovery after 8 sessions of Chemotheraphy and a big lifestyle changes as indicated by Dr Chris de Beer. February 10th (Friday) of 2017, Eben was scheduled for a reversal of his stoma and fistula. As he walked into MediClinic that Friday morning, Sr Yolandi saw him and burst into tears. The two met with a hug and no words were shared because they knew things were going to get better.
Eben went into theater and about 2 hours later a successful operation saw Eben walk out with a 2nd chance at life. The recovery over the process of weekend seemed okay until Monday morning arrived. Something seemed off. Visitors noticed something but never could identify what was wrong. The eve of the 13th saw temperature spikes, nausea spells and a lot of pain for Eben. Early Tuesday morning, his parents were called for a turn for the worst. The pain of 52 cold clamps in stomach shaking uncontrollably due to a possible internal leakage was at hand. Rushed off for scans and observation found that a spontaneous burst in the duodenum set Eben off back to theater. Unfortunately there was a waiting list for emergency procedures and was put under severe sedation for the rest of the day. The evening broke and after 7 hours in theater, Eben’s life had been saved supernaturally. The doctors even admitted that it was out of there hands at one point. During the procedure Eben experienced a promise from God in the supernatural realm that his future is in Plettenberg Bay, his soulmate there as well as and that he was destined to help others.
After many months of planning, Forward Health was born and a relationship. The idea was formulated for the bringing a 360 degree to healthcare. The importance of combining a holistic view to health care really made sense because of the history of Eben and Sr Yolandi had shared. Eben has enrolled to do his wellness studies through Synergetica Academy and Sr Yolandi took on the roll of wound and stoma care. By the combined knowledge of their respective fields, and outside help when needed - they are able to give the best possible care in the Plettenberg Bay area.
