# MedBase

> MedBase is a doctor-led medical aesthetics and anti-ageing training academy in Waterkloof, Pretoria, South Africa, for HPCSA-registered medical doctors and dentists.

MedBase provides professional education. Dr Luhard Jansen van Vuuren is a medical doctor, co-founder and clinical mentor. MedBase is distinct from Medify (patient-care practice), DrLuhard.com (the doctor's professional website) and MedCentre Waterkloof (the physical healthcare facility). It is not a patient clinic or an online medicine-ordering service.

Public contact: info@medbase.co.za; +27 68 629 3096. Training venue: MedBase Training Academy, 265 Main Street, Waterkloof, Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa.

Programme snapshot: 12 October 2026. The 23 October 2026 peptide course and 27 November 2026 injectable course are fully booked. Waiting-list requests are free and do not reserve or guarantee a place. Course pages and their forms provide current availability. The 2027 programme is a priority-interest list, not a confirmed booking calendar. Selected online options are planned rather than confirmed for the listed 2026 courses.

Public articles are professional education, not patient-specific advice or prescribing instructions. Training does not replace individual clinical judgement. Course accreditation, evidence and regulatory status are separate matters; event-specific CPD details are available from the academy. Each Markdown file identifies its canonical human-readable page.
