Amanda's strength lies in her clarity, her intensity and her love for authenticity.

“I feel intense. And you can see that in my face.”

Amanda lives, feels and communicates with her whole face.

“My frown and forehead wrinkles have always been strong because I've been talking, crying and laughing with a lot of facial expressions all my life. I feel intense and express myself that way.”

In her work as a model, that was not always helpful:

“The frown could make my verbal, but also my non-verbal, communication strict. That's awkward in my job, where your face tells your story.

“I chose mitigation — not change.”

Amanda deliberately chose a botox treatment at Aēstec, with a goal that goes beyond aesthetics:

“To soften the look on my forehead and around my eyes and to be able to control the depth of wrinkles in the long term.”

The result is not only visible, but also tangible.

“Both my children and my social and professional environment love the relaxed, rested expression. 80% of communication is non-verbal and people respond more calmly and positively to a relaxed face.”

Amanda herself also experiences a difference:

“In addition to the aesthetic benefit, I'm also less tired myself.”

“For me, graceful aging means consciously aging in balance.”

For Amanda, getting older isn't a matter of “staying young,” but staying true to yourself:

“Graceful aging is a sensitive topic, especially when it comes to the intent behind treatments. For me, it's about aging consciously and in balance — inside and out — with respect for my individual beauty.”

And that's exactly where Aēstec fits in seamlessly, she says:

“This vision of beauty and the professional guidance at Aēstec fit in seamlessly with this. That's safe and feels familiar.”

Beauty is in expression — not perfection

Amanda proves that beauty is not in omitting lines, but in softening what obstructs you — so that what can be seen gets space. Give yourself the space to shine the way you want.
