Izolda Heydenrych MD, MBChB, MMed

Dr. Heydenrych has been involved in aesthetic medicine and dermatology teaching for over two decades. As the co-founder and director of the Cape Town Cosmetic Dermatology Centre and currently, in full-time private practice, she is able to fully realize her ideals in her own capacity. Due to her passion for teaching and sharing she holds an honorary consultant’s post at Stellenbosch University (Division of Dermatology) where she is currently involved in teaching both aesthetic medicine and dissection anatomy.

She is passionate about the empowerment of both patients and practitioners and is dedicated to education regarding the long-term implications of good and ethical practice. For her, this resonates particularly within a South African context as she has a deep love for her country and its people. Her research has proved invaluable in the advancement of education and appropriate practice both locally and abroad.
