Dr Reza Mia’s “Do’s and Don’ts” of Cosmetic Treatments

Posted on by

Once stigmatised, cosmetic procedures have soared in popularity in recent years, sparking booming demand for injectables and dermal fillers among South Africans seeking to enhance their looks. But there are a few key “do’s and don’ts” to be aware of if you want to achieve the best-looking results, states aesthetic expert Dr Reza Mia.

Owner of the Anti-Aging Art medical aesthetic and holistic wellness centre in Johannesburg, Dr Reza notes that in parallel to the growing popularity of cosmetic treatments, he has also seen an uptake in patients seeking to fix issues with their fillers and injectables.

“Aesthetic medicine is really a blend of art and science, and it takes time, knowledge, and skill to become an expert in the area, much like any other field of medicine. Many patients have approached doctors who don’t work exclusively in the field or who have not completed higher education in the aesthetic or regenerative field. Then, when they are dissatisfied with their results, they realise that they should be more discriminating and rather consult professionals who focus on aesthetics and practice it full-time,” he says.

Posted on by

A study by Adoozy Power* has revealed that young South Africans aged between 18 and 26 years check their mobile phones almost 30 times an hour. It says they spend a quarter of their lives on their phones daily. For anyone to spend that much time on their phone, it is only fair that they, at the very least, enjoy the experience.

The Adoozy Power study shows that a mobile phone is one of the most important things for an average young person. If you asked any random youth what items they would save first if their house caught fire, many of them would name their mobile phone high up on that list. Being this devoted to their handheld devices means the youth would understandably want only the best devices to be able to get the best experience.
