Lamelle Research Laboratories, headquartered in South Africa, has firmly positioned itself as a titan in the field of luxury aesthetic skincare. Established in 2005 by the visionary duo Tony De Barros and Dr. Bradley Wagemaker, Lamelle has become a hallmark of scientific distinction, innovation, and uncompromising quality in the South African beauty industry. In 2025, the brand’s consistent commitment to clinical precision, luxurious care, and transformative skincare was rightfully recognized with the Luxury Lifestyle Awards for Best Luxury Beauty Brand in South Africa, highlighting Lamelle’s leadership and reputation.
Science at the Heart of Beauty
At its core, Lamelle is not just a beauty company—it’s a biotechnology research powerhouse. By leveraging evidence-based innovation, the brand has successfully created targeted skincare solutions that address pressing dermatological concerns such as acne, pigmentation, aging, and sensitivity. These solutions are grounded in cutting-edge scientific research, combining internationally sourced, premium ingredients with proprietary formulations protected by patented agreements. The result? Real, visible outcomes that redefine what consumers can expect from luxury skincare.
Dr. Wagemaker’s expertise as a medical doctor drives the company’s research agenda. His profound understanding of human physiology enables Lamelle to continuously push the boundaries of skin science. With a thoughtful approach to R&D, Lamelle has pioneered numerous “first-to-market” innovations in South Africa, setting new standards for clinical skincare efficacy and safety.
Exclusivity with a Purpose
One of Lamelle’s most defining characteristics is its loyalty to exclusivity paired with personalization. Their products are not available via mass-market retail outlets. Instead, Lamelle partners solely with highly trained skincare professionals—dermatologists, therapists, and doctors—who can assess individual skin conditions and recommend tailored solutions. This approach ensures that customers not only receive high-performance products but also benefit from expert guidance and precision care.
The Lamelle Skin Confidence Education Curriculum underscores the brand’s emphasis on quality and consistency. Every salon and professional in their network undergoes rigorous annual training to stay aligned with the latest scientific advancements and product developments. This ensures that end users enjoy not only innovation but also safety, efficacy, and support throughout their skincare journey.
Customer Experience that Builds Confidence
For Lamelle, customer satisfaction is a mission. The brand’s personalized approach ensures that every client receives bespoke care grounded in science. Their strategy combines professional in-clinic recommendations with educational support, empowering clients to understand their skin and the treatments they receive. As a result, Lamelle has cultivated a loyal base of customers who trust the brand not just for skincare, but for boosting their overall confidence and well-being.
Accolades and Industry Recognition
Lamelle’s recognition by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards in 2025 comes on the heels of numerous accolades. Their product range has swept industry honors in recent years, including:
These awards affirm Lamelle’s consistent delivery of high-performance skincare, backed by innovation and clinical validation.
Expanding Horizons
While Lamelle currently maintains a strong footprint within South Africa, its ambitions are clearly global. With eyes on new markets in the USA, Australia, and the European Union, the brand is poised for international growth. Its strategic PR and marketing efforts—including collaborations with TV programs, social media engagement, and high-profile sponsorships—are laying the groundwork for global recognition.
Additionally, Lamelle has expanded into pharmaceutical innovations, offering solutions for hair restoration, fertility, and intimacy—demonstrating its devotion to enhancing life beyond skin health.
Leadership That Inspires
Behind Lamelle’s rapid ascent are its founders, Tony De Barros and Dr. Wagemaker. While De Barros spearheads the strategic and marketing direction of the company, his entrepreneurial spirit and passion have been instrumental in building a trusted and aspirational brand. Together, the founders have cultivated a company culture rooted in merit, transformation, and empathy.
