Why the future of climate change solutions hinges on Stem careers







Prior to opening Pulse, Bowie spent seven years in the UK honing her practice working alongside renowned dermatologists, before returning to South Africa to share her experience with her hometown.
In addition to being a literal hands-on business owner, Bowie is also a new mom, an experience she says has rejuvenated her energy to focus on furthering her offering to cater for postpartum clients. As such she has introduced a set of treatments specifically focused on assisting women with their unique cases both during and after pregnancy.
In the spirit of Entrepreneur Month, Bowie takes us through the appeal of non-surgical aesthetics and Pulse Dermatology and Laser's tailored, thoughtful approach to it, as well as her refreshed focus on new mothers.
I see it as bridging the gap between beauty treatments and surgery without having to go under the knife. It’s about getting real results whilst avoiding the downtime associated with surgical procedures.
Definitely the first time I treated a lady for acne. Seeing the confidence she had after she experienced great results was so rewarding for me.
With lots and lots of coffee :) Just kidding, I honestly use all the help I can get. I am so grateful that I have an amazing support structure including my employees and family and friends.
Being a new mom myself I have seen first-hand the toll pregnancy and breastfeeding can take on a woman. Most places just turn pregnant and breastfeeding women away. I have not only come up with special medfacials for pregnancy that are results-driven to treat the hormonal fluctuations but also pampering.
And for after baby is here, we have an array of treatments for everything from stretch marks to pigmentation treatment. A woman’s body is truly miraculous in the maternity process and it's something that should be celebrated, and that includes allowing new moms to feel great about their bodyies post pregnancy and even during pregnancy.
Our staff do solely medical aesthetic treatments, we don’t do waxing and massage, etc., so patients know that the therapist treating them is very experienced. We also make a point of having the very best equipment and a large variety of lasers so that we can really tailor programmes to be patient specific as we are all so different and no one laser treats all things.
At Pulse, our main goal is to make sure that every woman (or man for that matter) who walks through our doors enters feeling safe and welcomed and leaves feeling empowered and looked after. We tailor our treatments to the specific needs of our clients because there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to the concerns us women have about our bodies. After my extensive overseas experience with top industry experts, I use this experience along with other treatments available to directly handle specific client needs.
The future of skin care lies in stem cell technology. This is by far the most amazing breakthrough in medicine and the results of epidermal growth factors on skin healing and regeneration are simply amazing.
Keep going girl!
