Bridget Petersen

Beautiful Bridget from Beaufort-West was such a dedicated and motivated candidate during her Mooimaak process! Having to lose some excess weight, Bridget stuck to every last detail of the strict programme, and reaped the rewards of her hard work by having lost 16kilograms in this short period in a healthy fashion! One of the highlights in Bridget's Mooimaak journey was the dress made especially for her by Cape Town-based designer, Errol Arendz, to celebrate her 50th birthday taking place in 2019. After going through the transformation process Bridget, who once was happy to spend all day at home sitting in front of the television eating chips, now has a new lease on life, goes out with her family and makes the most of each day!

Bridget's Treatments

Bridget's Mooimaak journey was led by Dr Dalize Willemse, with additional treatments performed by therapist Zaan Pienaar at the Willowbridge branch in Cape Town. Bridget had an intensive treatment plan, over a course of 12 weeks, to help her shed 15kgs extra weight, improve her skin tone, and pigmentation and remove bothersome moles. Her treatment plan included the Medical Weight Loss programme to address the cause of obesity, and resistance to leptin, as well as the Fraxel® DUAL Laser with PRP therapy, chemical peels, and other supporting treatments. Due to her dramatic weight loss, Bridget's entire facial structure has changed allowing for a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance!

"I've been on many weight loss programmes in the past, but none as effective, safe and healthy as this - with results in a short period of time! It took some getting used to, but now I make the most delicious healthy meals for myself and the family!"

Medical Weight Loss Programme

The RID Diet is an HCG-based program which treats the cause of obesity - leptin resistance. It is a safe and effective weight and fat loss program that has evolved over ten years, offering patients a tried tested and results-driven program. Bridget lost 16 kilograms in 12 short weeks, in a healthy fashion, in areas where she wanted to lose weight. She looked amazing in her designer dress and continued to lose weight after the Big Reveal!

"This treatment was not as sore as I expected! Slight burning was experienced and the skin goes dark and almost black for a few days after, but when the dead skin sheds and the new skin is revealed... WOW, it looks amazing and healthy!"

Fraxel® DUAL Laser

The Fraxel® DUAL laser provides moderate-level treatment for pigmentation, skin tone, lines, acne scarring and poor skin texture. It is more effective and less invasive than older laser types and is FDA approved. The treatment produces thousands of tiny deep columns to your skin to stimulate collagen production and skin rejuvenation.

"The initial injections were a bit sensitive, but not bad at all. The effects of the PRP treatment were fantastic - it gave my skin new life, and I can still see the benefits of a healthy glowing complexion!"

Vampire Facial, PRP injections

For Bridget the PRP injections was combined with her Fraxel® Laser treatment. The targeted ‘liquid gold’ PRP injections, is extracted from the patient’s own blood and injected in various locations to promote collagen production, skin health and thereby improving texture and reduced fine lines & wrinkles.

"My regular therapist Chantel was such a beautiful and soft spoken person, who made me feel comfortable through each treatment, no matter the pain involved!"

Titan® Laser

Titan® utilizes a pulsed broadband infrared source. The tightening effects of Titan® are immediate but the best results come down the line, when the effects of collagen production become evident. One can see an immediate tightening effect after one Titan® treatment but best results are seen after three treatments spaced 1 month apart.
