About this episode
In Beauty of the World we host globally renowned key opinion leaders to discuss their region's beauty standards, aesthetic trends and injectable market, celebrating the similarities and differences between people's faces and skin tones.
In Chapter 1, the very first of the series, Cape Town dermatologist Dr Izolda Heydenrych explores the beauty ideals of South African patients and broader African attitudes to aesthetics.
