After more than two decades of working, learning and growing in the cutting-edge field of nonsurgical medical aesthetics, I know this exciting field is ever changing and revolving. For much of my career I have focussed on enhancing the lives of patients using treatments at the forefront of aesthetic medicine, integrating art and medicine as a core principle. As a strong proponent of medical innovation, I have always had a passion for helping people feel comfortable in their skin, and I'm glad to be able to continue making progress by relying on the least invasive techniques and treatments. Eager to assist people in becoming the best versions of themselves, I took a big step forward in the early stages of my career when we opened one of the first fully-fledged aesthetic clinics in South Africa in 2003. We were later able to expand the clinic’s footprint to other parts of South Africa, basing our medical aesthetics and anti-ageing framework on a 3D facial, body and wellness model. Through my career I have learned that optimised skin treatments are the backbone of facial aesthetics, and our approach incorporates a variety of skin-enhancing procedures. I'm a firm believer in ploughing back the knowledge I have gained over the years, and I have become passionate about training the next generation of aesthetic practitioners through the independent Medskills Training Academy. Aside from being one of the founder members of the Aesthetic and Anti-Ageing Medicine Society of South Africa and the Allergan Medical institute in SA, I was a key opinion leader for the Galderma, Croma, Genop, Asino and Allergan.

Vertical Symmetry & The Rule of Thirds in Facial Aesthetics

Facial balance isn’t just about what looks “pretty”, it’s deeply rooted in human perception and psychology. In this reel, Dr Chris Giezing explains how vertical symmetry and the rule of thirds guide aesthetic treatments and help create naturally harmonious results.

Key Points:
📐Vertical symmetry: Understanding the midline and how features align vertically is crucial for treatment planning and achieving balance in every face.
📐Rule of thirds: Dividing the face into three equal vertical sections (forehead, midface, lower face) allows clinicians to assess proportion and harmony. Faces that align closely with this rule are subconsciously perceived as more attractive.
📐Horizontal fifths: The width of the face is ideally around five times the width of one eye, helping to guide proportional treatment of cheeks, jawline, and temples.

Why it matters:
These principles aren’t just aesthetic theory; they help customise treatments to each patient’s unique anatomy, ensuring enhancements look natural and balanced rather than forced.

Most people aren’t scared of filler.

�They’re scared of what they’ve seen online.
The real fears are:

💉“I won’t look like myself.”
💉“It will migrate.”
💉“What if I don’t like the result?”

These fears are valid, but they’re not caused by filler.�They’re caused by technique, over-treatment, and rushed decisions.

Good filler doesn’t change your face.�It supports it.

In the next reel, we’ll take a look at how filler placement evolved over the years.

Your skin doesn’t reset when the calendar does.

February skin is still responding to: prolonged sun exposure, disrupted routines, and cumulative environmental stress.🧴

If your skin feels dry, dull, congested, or more pigmented right now, this month is about repairing and restoring, not aggressive correction.

Next month: what we’ll get into happens when the seasons start to change.

💧 What's a skinbooster really doing beneath the surface?

Not all hydration is created equal. A skinbooster is an injectable treatment that hydrates your skin from the inside, where creams and serums can't reach, so your skin feels plump, smooth, and refreshed.

At Advanced Full Face Aesthetics, we have four types of skinbooster options to match your skin goals at every stage:

1️⃣ NCTF Eye Skinbooster
2️⃣ Nucleofill Eye Biostimulator
3️⃣ Signature Booster
4️⃣ Platinum Skinbooster

Stay tuned for our next reel, where we'll explore the NCTF Eye Skinbooster, which is ideal for delicate under-eye skin and a great starting point for skinboosters.

Truth or Myth: GLP-1 Edition

GLP-1 treatments have been trending online, but not everything you hear is accurate. In this reel, we separate fact from fiction to give you a clear, evidence-based perspective.

Key insights covered:
✔️ Some GLP-1s (like semaglutide/Wegovy) are FDA-approved specifically for weight management, not just diabetes.
✔️ Results vary individually; medication helps, but lifestyle habits remain essential.
✔️ Long-term use is often recommended, but it doesn’t mean everyone needs it forever.
✔️ GLP-1s are generally safe when prescribed and monitored by a qualified doctor.
✔️ They act on the brain to reduce appetite, supporting satiety and metabolic health.

What to remember:
GLP-1 treatments aren’t a magic solution, and they should never replace professional medical guidance or healthy lifestyle choices.

5 Key Areas Where Facial Volume Loss Ages You

Ageing isn’t just about wrinkles; it’s also about loss of volume in strategic areas that provide support and lift. In this reel, we show how subtle changes in the face can create a tired or heavier appearance.

1️⃣ Temples
One of the first areas to hollow. Loss of support here can cause the outer brow to drop, making the upper face appear heavy.

2️⃣ Midface / Cheek Area
Fat pads shift and flatten in your 30s and 40s, reducing under-eye support and exaggerating shadows and fatigue.

3️⃣ Piriform Fossa (beside the nose)
This small groove impacts midface projection. Deflation here deepens nasolabial folds and softens overall facial structure.

4️⃣ Chin & Area Below the Lip
Volume loss weakens the lower face, contributing to marionette lines and early jowling, especially when combined with deflation near the preauricular area.

5️⃣ Jawline Support
Loss of structure here leads to softness and sagging, often showing signs of ageing sooner than expected.

How We Treat It
Targeted dermal fillers, biostimulators, or a tailored combination rebuild support where it’s needed most, restoring balance, lift, and a refreshed, natural look.

📲 Watch the reel to see how placement can make a subtle but powerful difference.

Male vs Female Facial Structure: Why Treatments Differ

Not all faces are created equal, and understanding structural differences is key to achieving natural, balanced results.

In this reel, Dr Chris Giezing explains how male and female faces differ and why treatments are tailored accordingly:

Brow Area
♂️Male: Thick, straight, closer to the eye. Treatments aim for subtle contouring, avoid feminising the brow.
♀️Female: Higher arch, softer lines. Treatments can enhance shape, lift, and highlight subtly.

The brow sets the tone for the whole face; over-lifting a male brow can look unnatural.

Mid-Face (Cheeks & Under-Eye Area)
♂️Male: More angular, flatter cheeks. Subtle volume enhances structure without feminising.
♀️Female: Fuller, rounded cheeks. Treatments enhance lift, softness, and youthful contour.

Mid-face treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s about preserving natural gender characteristics.

Lower Face (Jawline & Chin)
♂️Male: Strong, angular jaw. Maintain masculinity; avoid narrowing the face.
♀️Female: Softer jaw, tapered chin. Sculpt subtly for balance and definition.

The lower face defines gender identity visually.

Treatments are most effective when tailored to individual structure and aesthetic goals, enhancing natural features while maintaining harmony and identity.

📲 Watch the reel to see how, gender-aware approaches make all the difference.
