Running an aesthetic medical practice can be challenging and isolating. You’re expected to be a fearless leader and a master of both art and science. But even doctors need support.

That’s why Dr Debbie Norval founded the Aesthetic Sisters (Aesthetic Doctors’ Journal Club) in 2015. This group of women medical practitioners shares clinical insights, product knowledge, and professional experiences while supporting each other as colleagues and friends.

Read the thoughts some of the Aesthetic Sisters shared with Paola Chellew on just what the Journal Club means to them: https://www.aestheticappointment.co.za/2024/12/johannesburg-aesthetic-doctors-journal-club-a-sisterhood.html

Hydrolysed collagen… it’s been all the rage for some time now. And for good reason. From restoring skin strength and elasticity to lessening joint pain, accelerating healing, and improving hair and nail health, doses of 10,000mg per day have been shown to produce numerous health benefits.

Whether you’re a seasoned collagen cocktail artist, a long-time fence-sitter, or have no idea what this “wonder supplement” is all about, The Collagen Café's Advanced Collagen Liquid might be just the excuse you need to change things up.

You get a sachet of perfectly dosed hydrolysed collagen with added vitamins every time, taking any potential hassle out of the equation.
