African Vineyard Boutique Hotel & Spa would like to welcome Dr. Karl Schmidt, who is a specialist in aesthetic and regenerative medicine. This marks the beginning of his monthly visits to the spa, with dates continuing throughout the year.

Combine a specialized medical treatment with time to rest and recover in a private, unhurried setting. Guests book their procedure with Dr. Karl, arrange accommodation at African Vineyard, and have full access to the spa, gardens, restaurant, and riverside surroundings during their stay. The treatment and the recovery happen in the same place.

Who is Dr. Karl Schmidt?

Dr. Karl Schmidt is a medical doctor, practicing aesthetic and regenerative medicine, with a focus on advanced treatments that support skin renewal and long-term skin health. His work sits firmly in the medical space, and procedures are carried out with clinical training and precision while remaining suited to a restorative rather than surgical environment.

The following treatments are available:

Face

• Collagen Stimulators — Injectable treatments that stimulate the skin’s own collagen production over time, improving skin thickness, firmness, and overall texture. Results develop gradually and continue to improve in the weeks following treatment.
• Dermal Fillers — Medical-grade injectables used to restore volume, soften lines, and refine facial contours. Dr. Karl works with a range of filler products suited to different areas and treatment goals.
• Botox — A precise, low-dose injectable that relaxes specific facial muscles to reduce the appearance of expression lines. Results are natural when administered by an experienced practitioner.
• HIFU — Face — High-intensity focused ultrasound targets the deeper structural layers of the skin to lift and tighten without surgery. A non-invasive alternative to more aggressive facial procedures.
• Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy — Face — A treatment using the patient’s own plasma, concentrated and reintroduced into targeted areas to support tissue repair and skin renewal. Suited to improving skin quality and reducing signs of aging.
• Skinboosters — Injectable hydration treatments that work below the skin’s surface to improve elasticity, radiance, and moisture retention. Results are subtle and accumulative.
• PCL Threads — Dissolvable threads placed beneath the skin to provide structural lift and stimulate collagen along the thread line. A minimally invasive option for mild-to-moderate laxity.

Body

• HIFU — Body — The same focused ultrasound technology applied to body areas, targeting localized fat deposits and loose skin without surgery or downtime.
• Lipolytics — A non-surgical fat reduction treatment using targeted injections to break down localized fat cells in areas such as the jaw, abdomen, and thighs. Results develop over a series of sessions.
• Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy — Body — Applied to the neck, décolleté, and other body areas, PRP supports skin renewal and improves texture using the patient’s own plasma.

Hair

• Alopecia & PRP Hair Treatments — Platelet-rich plasma injections into the scalp stimulate dormant hair follicles and support hair retention. A clinically supported approach to thinning hair that requires no surgery or synthetic medication.

The Setting

African Vineyard is a four-star boutique hotel on Kanoneiland, a vineyard-lined island in the Orange River, 25 kilometers outside Upington. The property is tranquil, offering shaded gardens, manicured lawns, and the river, which naturally invites rest and rejuvenation.

The Kalahari Wellness Spa offers indoor and outdoor treatments using Kalahari-sourced products, with access to a heated spa pool and steam room. Our DiVine Restaurant serves fresh, seasonal meals in a beautiful setting suited to long, unhurried dining. The 14 en-suite rooms are comfortable and private, removed from the noise and pace of daily life.

For guests traveling from outside Upington, staying on the property means the day does not have to end with a long drive home, especially after fully unwinding at the spa.

Personalised Packages

African Vineyard can put together a package tailored to each guest’s needs — combining Dr. Karl’s treatments with accommodation, spa access, and dining. Packages are customized on request. There is no fixed structure; the intention is for each stay to reflect what the guest actually needs from their time here.
