We're working in Nelspruit twice a month from June 😁

Still in White River, Hanya house and online 🤩

Meet Dr. Allison van der Riet ✨

A familiar face within the Nelspruit community, Dr. Allison has spent many years building trusted relationships with patients across the Lowveld. While her main practice is now based in White River, she continues to welcome and care for her Nelspruit patients from NuSkinnovation Nelspruit.

With a focused interest in aesthetic and integrative medicine, Dr. Allison’s passion lies in aesthetic injectables, skin health, and graceful ageing. Her approach is centred around enhancing your natural beauty with subtle, refined results — helping you look refreshed, balanced, and confident while preserving what makes you uniquely you.

Because the best aesthetic work doesn’t change who you are — it simply helps you feel like the best version of yourself. 🤍

Integrative medicine consultations are so much more than that of a standard general practice consult.

What people forget about or perhaps don’t take into account, is that integrative medicine demands work behind the scenes that you, as the patient, may not always be aware of. 💻

It includes the questionnaires you complete, the really old blood results you forgot about, the radiology reports that you didn’t think were important… all the things that I have gone through before you step into that consultation.

Even more so, there are colleagues that we as doctors consult with when we’re not sure ourselves. All of this gets done when you are not in front of us in our office. And I think I speak for all doctors when I say that it always gets done after business hours…

So before we jump to the conclusion that integrative medicine is expensive - if you look at it at face value - it certainly would appear so. But it is so much more than that. It is creating health and a long term plan, rather than just throwing another prescription medicine at you to keep your symptoms at bay on a month to month basis. You’ve already tried that and it hasn’t worked.

It’s an investment in your future health. And that is priceless.

A personal favourite of mine? Biostimulators.

Why? Because you can target more than one concern with treatment and with natural looking, refined results.

✨ Restore collagen. Rebuild structure. Age naturally. ✨

They work by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Rather than creating instant “filled” volume, it gradually rebuilds lost collagen over a few months — improving skin thickness, firmness, facial structure, and overall skin quality.

Results develop gradually and can last up to 2 years, giving a subtle, refreshed, and natural-looking outcome. 💫

Did you know that my job is probably the least interesting thing about me? 😊 especially seeing that I spent a fraction of my life in my consulting room.

Here are some of my favourite things in no particular order. Can you guess some?

Always keeping it balanced 🧘

I feel like I’m late to the party to be offering my opinion on peptides here in the online space 🙂 But let’s go.

In March 2026, I attended South Africa’s first certification course on the clinical use of peptides, where we explored theirgrowing role in modern medicine. Hosted by Comp Pharm, Dr Edwin Lee from the USA lead the day in academic discussion and presentation.

While there is legitimate medical use for certain peptides (with well-known examples including insulin and GLP-1 medications), much of what is currently promoted online is not supported by strong human research.

Because peptides cannot be patented in the same way as traditional pharmaceuticals, large-scale clinical trials are often lacking, which means safety and long-term data remain limited for many of the compounds being marketed. And will remain so unfortunately. For this reason, my approach remains measured and cautious.

Peptides may have a role in selected cases, but they are never a substitute for the foundations of good health — including nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and overall lifestyle.

When these fundamentals are in place, certain therapies may offer additional benefit. Without them, they are unlikely to deliver meaningful or lasting results.

How they interact, where they are sourced and where they are used in your health matter - some have side effects, some interact with supplements and nutrients and some have absolutely no evidence of any therapeutic benefit.

That’s why using them under the guidance of a doctor matters so, so much. If you’re interested in incorporating them into your longevity program, we can discuss it as we do with all other interventions.

Do I personally use peptides? I do from time to time. For me, some have been amazing (it’s not those popular ones interestingly), others haven’t but it is a choice I’ve made with the information available to me - as an educated doctor and not as an influencer chasing trends and a sales code.

The OG of cosmetic injectables 👩🏻‍⚕️

Number 1 procedure in my practice 10 years ago… and still the most popular in my practice today.

Your normal home scale is depressing you so stop using it. 🤯

Focus on your body composition - muscle mass, fat mass, where that fat is and your skeleton.

Focus on your blood work and risk factors for disease and prevention of chronic illness.

Stop obsessing over the number on a scale. Weight and weight loss is so much more nuanced than an overall total figure.

⬆️ These are some of our patient results in the last few weeks 💪 I want you strong. Not skinny. In all genders. With and without GLP1 agonist 😉

Toxins, biostimulators + skin boosters were the centre of attention for my practice in 2025.

Loving the trend of natural results with skin health and glow at the forefront 🤍
