Dr. Natela Rekhviashvili has been involved in the field of Medical Aesthetics for over 15 years. Her education and experience as a medical scientist enable her to understand the science behind the use of the newest non-invasive laser/light, radio frequency therapies and biostimulators for skin rejuvenation and problem skins.

 

Natela developed her interest in anti-aging and professional skin care during her studies in medical college in her home country - Republic of Georgia. After graduating from medical college with a diploma in nursing in 1987 she continued her education at Tbilisi State University (Georgia) where she obtained her Honors degree in Biological/Medical science.

 

In November 1995 Natela came to South Africa and build her career at the National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) and the University of the Witwatersrand (WITS). Natela is a registered Medical Scientist with Health Professionals Council of South Africa (HPCSA).  

For several years she was involved in genetic diagnostics and research of cancer and completed a Master of Science in Medicine (MSc Med). After furthering her studies in human genetics she completed her PhD in molecular diagnostics of HIV-1 in 2007.

 

During her successful career in Medical Science Natela lectured to Health Science and medical students, medical registrars and biomedical engineering students at WITS. She has regularly attended and presented at science conferences, published a number of articles in internationally accredited journals, a text book chapter for medical students and patented two methods for molecular diagnostics of HIV-1.

 

The science of skin care and anti-aging has long fascinated Natela and the establishment of Aesthetics and Advanced Skin Care Practice in 2007 was the realisation of her dream. For Natela, it was an opportunity to combine the skills and knowledge of science and technology with the creativity of aesthetic medicine. She finds it very rewarding to help people look their best!
