Dr. Hema Singh
Dr. Singh is the founding member of Silhouette Aesthetic Centre, and the Centre operates at the Rivonia office/centre and consult on occasion special request at the Benoni branch. Dr. Singh began her medical profession in 1996.
She studied at University of the Witwatersrand, where she completed her Bsc degree. She obtained her MB BCh. degree from the Medical University of South Africa.
During this period, she developed an interest in Aesthetic Medicine and began doing extensive research into the worldwide medical techniques available to enhance one’s physical appearance. Dr. Singh has studied in Toulon, France, and was instrumental in bringing the technique of Laser Lipolysis to South Africa. She has also completed studies in Dermatology.
At the outset, Silhouette Centre focused largely on the Laser Lipolysis treatment, with great success. Dr. Singh trained in Nottingham, U.K., adding “Advanced Laser Lipolysis” to her achievements.
The Centre has developed further beauty offerings, for weight loss, cm reduction, skin rejuvenation, medical procedures – gp, and beauty, offering a full spectrum of Aesthetic & Beauty services.
Dr Singh began her medical journey at the University of the Witwatersrand, completing her BSc (1993) and MB ChB (1996). Early in her career, she developed a strong passion for aesthetic medicine, leading her to pursue specialised international training in dermatology, laser-assisted lipolysis in Nottingham (UK) and Toulon (France), and Vaser liposculpture. She became one of the first aesthetic practitioners in South Africa to offer these innovative, minimally invasive fat-removal and body-sculpting techniques.
Over the past two decades, Dr Singh has earned multiple master’s-level diplomas in body contouring and anti-aging from top global institutions, including the European College of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery (Bologna, Italy) and the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine. Her advanced skills include Botox® and dermal fillers (Allergan-trained), Aptos and Mint thread lifting, PRP therapy for skin, hair, and body rejuvenation, and integrative anti-aging medicine.
Before establishing her aesthetic clinic, Dr Singh managed an emergency department for 13 years and ran a successful general practice—experience that shaped her patient-focused, safety-first approach. Her expertise in aesthetic trends and non-surgical cosmetic procedures has also led to her involvement as a judge in national beauty pageants.
A recognised voice in the field, Dr Singh is frequently invited to share insights on aesthetic innovations on major radio and television platforms, including 702, Metro FM, Kaya FM, Radio Lotus, Eastern Mosaic, and Lifestyle.
Today, Dr Hema Singh is regarded as a trusted aesthetic doctor in Johannesburg and Sunninghill, known for natural-looking results, advanced aesthetic techniques, and a personalised approach to anti-aging and body-sculpting treatments.
