FACE

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.

The dermal filler experience begins with a personalised consultation, where your facial anatomy, concerns, and aesthetic goals are assessed to determine the most suitable filler type and injection approach. Once the treatment area is cleansed, a topical numbing cream may be applied for added comfort.

Using precise, advanced injection techniques, hyaluronic acid filler is carefully placed into targeted areas to add volume, soften deep lines, sculpt facial contours, or enhance features such as the lips, cheeks, and jawline. Each injection is strategically administered to ensure smooth, balanced, and natural-looking results.

After the procedure, the treated area may be gently massaged to evenly distribute the product. Patients are encouraged to avoid strenuous exercise, heat exposure, alcohol, and certain medications for a short period to minimise swelling and maximise results.

A follow-up appointment may be recommended to review your progress, address any questions, and ensure optimal aesthetic outcomes. Dermal fillers deliver immediate rejuvenation with minimal downtime, making them one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments worldwide.

The thread lift procedure begins with a detailed consultation to assess your facial structure, skin concerns, and suitability for treatment. Once the treatment area is cleansed, a topical numbing agent or local anaesthetic is applied to ensure comfort.

Using fine, specialized instruments, dissolvable threads—commonly PDO, PLLA, or PCL threads—are carefully inserted beneath the skin to lift and reposition sagging tissue. The threads are adjusted to achieve the desired level of lift and contour, providing an immediate tightening effect.

Following the procedure, you will receive clear aftercare instructions to minimise swelling and support optimal healing. Over the next several months, the threads stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin firmness, elasticity, and overall rejuvenation.

Thread lifting offers natural-looking results with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for clients seeking a non-surgical facelift or a subtle, refreshed appearance.

BODY

Your Exilis treatment begins with a personalised consultation to discuss your goals and identify the areas best suited for contouring or tightening. Once the treatment area is marked and prepared, a handheld applicator is gently moved across the skin, delivering controlled radiofrequency and ultrasound energy deep into the tissue.

This precise heat triggers collagen remodelling, enhances skin elasticity, and breaks down localized fat cells—all while the device’s patented cooling technology keeps the skin’s surface comfortable and protected. Temperature levels are continuously monitored to ensure safety, optimal results, and patient comfort throughout the session.

Each treatment area typically takes 15–30 minutes, depending on the size and the concerns being addressed. Because Exilis is completely non-invasive, patients can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure, making it an ideal option for busy individuals seeking noticeable contouring and tightening without surgery.

Exilis delivers gradual, natural-looking improvements, with results continuing to enhance as collagen production increases over the following weeks.

Smooth cellulite and tighten skin with X-Wave shockwave therapy. Non-invasive treatment that boosts collagen, improves circulation, and enhances skin tone.

Your X-Wave treatment begins with a detailed consultation to assess your skin concerns, identify problem areas, and determine the number of sessions needed for optimal results. Once the treatment area is prepared, the X-Wave handpiece is applied to the skin, delivering controlled acoustic shockwaves deep into the tissue.

These shockwaves stimulate collagen and elastin production, boost circulation, break down cellulite clusters, and enhance lymphatic drainage. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, and because X-Wave is completely non-invasive, normal activities can be resumed immediately afterwards.

Most individuals benefit from a series of sessions, with gradual improvements becoming visible as collagen rebuilds and skin texture improves over time. Aftercare guidance is provided to support the best possible outcome and maintain long-term results.

X-Wave is a safe, effective, and popular solution for those seeking visible cellulite reduction, improved skin firmness, and enhanced overall skin tone—without surgery or recovery time.

CENTIMETRE REDUCTION

Your treatment journey begins with a thorough consultation with our doctor, who will assess your goals, health profile, and suitability for large-volume liposuction. During the procedure, you will be placed under conscious sedation for comfort and relaxation. Tiny, strategically placed incisions are made in the treatment area, and a tumescent solution is gently infused into the fatty layers to minimise bleeding and ease fat removal.

A specialised ultrasound device is then inserted to carefully liquefy the fat. At the same time, ultrasound energy stimulates collagen fibres, promoting natural skin tightening throughout the healing phase. Once emulsified, the fat is gently suctioned from the deep and intermediate layers, creating a slimmer, more defined contour without damaging surrounding tissues.

Post-procedure, clients receive compression massages for the first 10 days to support drainage, reduce swelling, and accelerate recovery. At Silhouette Aesthetic Centre, we guide you closely through the first 8 weeks of healing, ensuring you experience exceptional support, professional care, and visible transformation.

This advanced ultrasound-assisted liposuction differs from traditional techniques by being minimally invasive, producing minimal bleeding, avoiding tissue avulsion, safely treating all layers of fat, enabling large-volume fat removal, and delivering skin tightening and body contouring in a single procedure.

Lipolytic injection treatments begin with a consultation to assess your concerns and determine the area’s most suitable for fat reduction. During the procedure, medically approved ingredients—typically phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate—are injected into the subcutaneous fat layer using a series of small injections placed approximately 1 cm apart.

Once administered, these compounds begin breaking down fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized by the body over the following weeks. It is normal for the treated area to feel warm, appear red, or become slightly swollen immediately after the procedure. Applying an ice pack for a short period can help reduce discomfort.

Lipolytic injections offer a safe, minimally invasive alternative to surgical fat removal, allowing patients to achieve more refined body contours with little to no downtime. A series of sessions may be recommended for optimal, long-lasting results.

MEDICAL

Your medical wellness journey begins with a comprehensive assessment of your physical, emotional, and mental health. This in-depth evaluation allows us to understand your unique needs and create a personalised wellness strategy that complements your aesthetic goals.

Using integrative medicine principles, we combine traditional medical approaches with holistic therapies to support optimal well-being. Your customised treatment plan may include targeted lifestyle adjustments, nutritional recommendations, stress-management techniques, and supportive therapies designed to restore balance and improve overall health.

Ongoing monitoring and regular check-ins ensure that your wellness plan is continually refined to meet your evolving needs. Our focus is on empowering you to take an active, informed role in your health journey, supporting long-term vitality, improved quality of life, and enhanced confidence—inside and out.

Medical wellness offers a transformative approach to beauty and health, helping you look, feel, and live your best.

The DNA analysis journey begins with a simple, non-invasive sample collection—typically a cheek swab—performed at the clinic. The sample is then processed in our state-of-the-art laboratory, where advanced technology extracts and examines your genetic information with precision.

Our team of expert geneticists interprets the results to identify key insights about your skin, health predispositions, and optimal wellness strategies. This includes evaluating potential risks for certain conditions, ancestry-related traits, and personalized recommendations for skincare and lifestyle choices.

A comprehensive report is generated and reviewed with you in detail, providing actionable information to guide your aesthetic treatments, nutrition, and overall wellness approach. With DNA-driven insights, you can make informed, evidence-based decisions that enhance both your beauty and long-term health outcomes.

SKINCARE

Your chemical peel treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of the skin to remove oils, impurities, and surface debris, ensuring optimal absorption of the solution. A customised peel, selected based on your skin type and specific concerns, is then carefully applied using precise techniques to target issues such as acne, pigmentation, or visible signs of ageing.

The chemical solution works to exfoliate the skin, promoting natural regeneration and revealing fresher, healthier-looking skin underneath. After the specified application time, the peel is neutralized, and soothing post-peel products are applied to protect and calm the treated area.

To ensure lasting results, patients are provided with detailed aftercare instructions, including recommendations for gentle skincare routines and sun protection. Chemical peels offer a safe, effective, and professional approach to facial and body rejuvenation, helping you achieve smoother, more youthful skin with noticeable improvements in tone, texture, and clarity.

Microneedling begins with a thorough cleansing of the skin to remove impurities and prepare it for treatment. A numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.

Using a specialized microneedling device, fine needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. To enhance healing and results, a soothing serum or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) may be applied immediately after the procedure.

Following treatment, patients receive detailed post-procedure skincare guidance to protect the skin, optimise healing, and maintain long-lasting results. Regular microneedling sessions improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and pigmentation, and promote a rejuvenated, radiant complexion.

Microneedling is a safe, minimally invasive solution for those seeking noticeable anti-aging and skin-revitalizing results without downtime.
