Aesthetic Physician

Dr Alastair Clark - MB BCh (Wits)

As the only official Restylane accredited instructor in South Africa, Dr Alastair Clark trains other doctors in this country in the art and science of aesthetic injection techniques and designs and delivers courses in this discipline. Dr Clark was installed in October 2007 as one of twenty international Global Trainers to give instruction internationally. He is the only South African to have achieved this. Dr Clark is also an instructor of advaced Botox techniques, giving official accredited courses throughout the year in South Africa.

His interpretation of the aesthetic need and facial assessment, combined with advanced injection and moulding techniques yield previously unattained results for non-surgical techniques.

Dr Clark has developed an approach to static (hypertonic) and dynamic (hyperkinetic) wrinkles, which greatly simplifies the use of Botox and fillers to achieve the patient’s desired goal. He uses his technique to treat anything from inexpensive lines and wrinkles to Lip enhancement, Nasoplasty. Cheek bone augmentation, Eyebrow ridge augmentation, Ear lobe rejuvenation, or complete facial treatments.

Dr Clark has been practising as a general practitioner for 24 years and previously in surgery and surgical specialities for three years. He was Senior Consultant at Wedge Gardens Alcoholic Rehabilitation Centre for 15 years and a Consultant to the South African Brain Research Institute during this time. He appeared numerous times on television and on radio phone in programmes and has published a number of journal articles on alcoholism and detoxification. His particular interests are surgery, cardiology and sports injuries. He is an honorary lecturer at Wits Medical School’s Department of Family Practice. He is also the founding partner of Execucare, a company in association with Sandton Aesthetic Institute, that specialises in performing complete in depth medical assessments.

He has completed the Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology’s Advanced Course in Diabetes Care, with distinction, and the Foundation for Professional Development’s course in Practice Management.

He has also completed the official Botox accredited course, the course in advanced Botox injection techniques, the Liquid Youth certificate course in filler injection and facial remodelling techniques, the Swedish Q-Med certificate course in advanced Restylane filler techniques, as well as an international course in the revolutionary new Restylane Vital and its mesotherapy applications. He is currently the only certificated user of Sub-Q for deep non-surgical treatment of nose, chin, cheekbone and jawline enhancements in South Africa.
