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 innova

tion, 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.

Hormones: The Thing Affecting Everything...

Fatigue. Weight gain. Brain fog. Anxiety. Poor sleep. Skin changes. Sound familiar?

These are some of the most common complaints we hear from patients every single day. And more often than not, there's a hormonal story underneath all of it.

We put Dr Chris Giezing to the test with a quick-fire yes or no challenge.

🎥 These are the questions you've been asking about hormones and how they affect your body, skin, and overall wellbeing. Watch the reel, you might be surprised by a few of his answers.

Brow Lifts: What You Need to Know

Many patients ask about brow lifts to lift droopy eyelids, open up tired-looking eyes, and create a fresher, more awake appearance. Our brow lift guide will help you to understanding which muscles to relax for safe, natural-looking results.

👁️ Inner brow: The muscles that pull down the inner part of your eyebrow. This will lift the inner brow to open up your eye area and reduce that heavy, tired look.

👁️ Arch: The muscle that creates your brow's peak and shape. This Allows your brow arch to lift, creating a more elegant, defined shape.

👁️ Outer brow: The muscles at the tail end (sometimes this area needs filler instead of anti-wrinkle treatment for the best lift). This lifts the brow tail for a more youthful look.

Knowing exactly where to treat makes all the difference between a natural lift and an overdone look.

The Perioral Area: It's Not Just About Lip Filler👄

When it comes to the area around your mouth, most people think filler is the only solution.

But your lips and the muscles surrounding them tell a much more complete story. Anti-wrinkle injections applied strategically to the lower face can transform a result from good to exceptional, without adding a single drop of filler.

Here's what's possible:

💉 The Lip Flip A small amount of anti-wrinkle treatment relaxes the muscle around your upper lip just enough to let it gently roll outward, creating the appearance of fuller, more defined lips without any filler.

💉 Smoker's Lines Those vertical lines around your mouth are one of the most ageing features of the lower face. Careful treatment softens these lines by reducing the repetitive pursing movement, without affecting your ability to speak or smile naturally.

💉 Gummy Smile If you show a lot of gum when you smile, it's caused by overactive muscles lifting your upper lip too high. A precise injection reduces this lift, creating a more balanced, confident smile that patients absolutely love.

💉 Downturned Mouth Corners The muscle that pulls your mouth corners downward can create a sad or tired resting expression, even when you're perfectly happy. Relaxing this muscle restores a neutral or subtly lifted corner, making a huge difference to your overall facial appearance.

💉 Chin Dimpling An overactive chin muscle creates that bumpy, orange-peel texture on your chin. Treatment here smooths the surface and reduces tension for a softer, more refined chin appearance.

Understanding which muscles to treat, and when, is what separates good results from exceptional ones.

How many vials do you need?

It Depends on Your Age…

Here's what most people don't realise: volume loss doesn't happen overnight. It's a gradual process that starts much earlier than you think – often in your late 20s or early 30s.

🎥 In this reel, Dr Chris Giezing shows the typical amount of filler and PLLA (biostimulator) needed at each stage of life, showing how treatment requirements change as we age.

The younger you are, the less volume you've lost, so you typically need less product. As we move through our 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond, we naturally lose more facial volume. A general guideline is adding approximately one vial per decade of life to restore that youthful structure and maintain natural results.

Why Facial Analysis Matters, before treatment takes place

Before any anti-wrinkle injections or fillers are placed, the most important step is understanding your unique face.

🎥 In this reel, Dr Chris Giezing shows how he evaluates each patient: looking at bone structure, how your face moves, facial balance, and areas where volume has been lost, before deciding where treatment is actually needed.

Good injection technique matters. But properly assessing your face and creating the right treatment plan is what delivers beautiful, natural results.

Peptides: Are They the Future of Skincare and Wellness?

For decades, aesthetic medicine has relied on the same trusted treatments: anti-wrinkle injections, hyaluronic acid fillers, and laser devices.

All effective.
All proven.

But something exciting is happening at the cellular level, and it's changing how we approach skin health and ageing.

So what are peptides?

Think of them as tiny messengers that tell your skin cells what to do, like instructing them to produce more collagen, repair damage, or boost hydration. They work with your body, not just on it.

As the science evolves, understanding which peptides work best for your specific concerns gives you a real advantage in your skincare & wellness journey.

🎥 We asked Dr Chris Giezing which peptides are best suited for different skin and wellness concerns. Watch this reel to find out what he recommends for yours.

Struggling with fatigue or stubborn weight? It may not just be about calories.
Many patients come to us feeling tired, low on energy, and frustrated with weight that doesn’t seem to shift, even when they’re eating well.

The truth is, your body handles energy in two main ways:

�It either ✔️uses it, or it ✔️stores it.

🔼For your body to convert food into usable energy efficiently, your hormones need to be balanced, especially those that regulate metabolism and muscle mass. When they’re not optimised, you may feel sluggish, notice changes in body composition, or struggle with low motivation.
🔼On the other side, your body needs the ability to access stored energy (like body fat). If insulin levels are constantly elevated, your body stays in “storage mode,” making fat loss far more difficult.

This means fatigue and weight gain aren’t always just about willpower; they can be signs that your energy system isn’t functioning optimally.

Understanding how your body manages energy allows us to take a more strategic, personalised approach, focused on restoring balance, improving vitality, and supporting sustainable results.
