Practice
The Longevity Centre was founded in 2017 and is the result of a collaboration between Dr Burt Jooste and Dr Xen (Xenephin) Ludick. Both are General Practitioners with a particular interest in Aesthetic and Integrative Medicine. They've always had a passion to not just ensure that patients look good, but also feel good. Health and wellness certainly start from within, where true Longevity lies, hence the name for the clinic.
In the modern world that we live in, these two dynamic fields of medicine are becoming more and more inseparable from each other. We have to become more vigilant in preventing disease and should not merely treat it retrospectively. At Longevity Centre we believe that if you do not make time for health today, one day you may have to make time for disease.
We have so many new tools at our disposal in these two fields of medicine and this allows us to look younger, be healthier, stronger and be the best version of ourselves, no matter what age we are.

“I have been going to Dr Xen for more than 10 years. He was the first doctor to get my Botox spot on and he has held my hand through all my other treatments. My friends always comment about how good I look and it’s been 10 years!”

“I have been to every specialist under the sun and no one could truly assist me because no one had a look at everything at the same time. Dr Burt was a life saver for me. Being referred to him by my sister changed my life. I am forever grateful”

“I suffer from hormonal acne and pigmentation, and I have been doing chemical peels at another skin clinic for over 4 years now, without much success in attaining sustainable results. I was referred to Nicole at Longevity Centre, with whom I started my new skin journey with in May. Nicole’s professionalism, immense knowledge & experience in the skin industry, her attention to detail and overall patience in assessing the root cause of my skin issues, made me feel confident in the process that we were embarking on to transform my skin. Through a multi-faceted approach of tactfully interchanging between various chemical peels and the green peel, I noticed a remarkable difference in my skin in as little as 2 weeks following my first green peel treatment. My breakouts subsided drastically, and the pigmentation became noticeably lighter. My skin texture also smoothened, and overall complexion became brighter. With every subsequent treatment that I have done, I’ve seen noticeable improvements. I am really impressed by the results we achieve after every treatment. Thanks to Longevity Centre, and especially to Nicole for her patience & her intricate understanding of what my skin needs and when it needs it.”
