A perpetually sunny hello from all of us at Team Umhlanga. The end of the year is in sight, and for many of you, that may feel like a blessing. Remember, we’re in this together and we remain focused and excited to keep walking a journey of good health and happiness with you. As a special team of committed and skilled women, we’re about celebrating you! So Happy Women’s Day for last month, and on we go with the mindset that being a woman is a superpower in itself. And, here is our team of superheroes:

For the month of August, we celebrated the women of South Africa, and especially those in our community.
The Umhlanga Arch held a Women’s Day competition and our branch joined in the commemoration. Two Heliocare products were up for grabs; one for a lucky winner and one for her to give to the friend of her choice.
We are passionate about sun protection, now and in the summer months approaching.

Our Branch Manager, Anja Evans, and her husband, Justin, decided to take a last-minute trip to the beautiful Drakensberg Mountains.
They made it all the way up Sani Pass in the snow! And yes; snow angels were made, and a few snowballs were thrown 😉

Let’s talk about LimeLight! Our medical therapist Catherine has treated a few of her clients during the winter months with this restorative Laser Therapy.
It targets sun spots, pigmentation as well as helps with overall skin rejuvenation.

Our medical therapists Roxy and Catherine highly recommend the new Endocare Radiance Serum from Cantabria Labs.
This anti-pollution technology helps fight free radicals and environmental stressors, giving your skin that Vitamin C boost it needs.
The result? A glow that imbibes skin with the look of health and vitality, plus the benefits of revitalising growth factors thanks to an innovative formulation.

The beautiful Zanele Kamwendo experienced the new Dermapen 4™ with her therapist Roxy Buchanan. We are super excited to officially offer this treatment at our branch. Dermapen 4™ is a Digital Automated MicroNeedling system that creates fractional puncture channels into the skin.
The effect promotes natural collagen and elastin production while preserving epidermal integrity. Dermapen 4™ may assist with the infusion of active ingredients, skin tightening, lifting, and rejuvenation. Texture issues suitable for treatment include post-acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and stretch marks. As part of combination therapies, alopecia may also be treated. Dermapen 4™ works to activate and facilitate the body’s healing and regenerative processes. We are thrilled to have it as part of our tailored approach to skin rejuvenation.

Our Assistant Manager Sam has green fingers - and by green fingers, we mean she loves to garden in her spare time. She is as passionate about succulents as she is about skin. Her collection is endless, and she’s now started to propagate her plants to make little babies. Want to share in her passion? Offcuts are the easiest way to grow more green. Ask her; she’ll give you her best gardening advice!
