The Hummingbird Institute
gives back to the community by
donating services for charity
auctions and fundraisers,
particularly for local
sports teams.
It also has a positive impact
by making its clients feel more
confident and attractive.
“Contrary to popular belief, we
don’t work on vanity, we like to
work on self-esteem,” says busi-
ness co-owner Dr. Adriaan Viljoen.
He and wife Lizanne
Viljoen also keep their prices
low, so these treatments, from
anti-aging and acne treatment to
permanent hair removal, aren’t
just accessible to the wealthy.
“There have been so many
people leaving with tears of joy
— women, for example, who have
facial hair and wanted to get it
removed, but thought they could
never afford it,” Adriaan says.
When it comes to
anti-aging treatments,
Lizanne says she considers them
treatments for the soul... the best
result is always a happy heart.
“By trade I’m a nurse, so
I’ve always worked with dis-
eases,” she says.
“My new disease of
choice to fight is aging.”
