Sometimes it's not the wrinkles that bother us, but the changes your face undergoes through major life steps. This is also the case with Marika van Dorp (48), senior consultant in the healthcare sector, married and mother of two children (17 and 24).
After losing more than 50 kilos, she decided to find herself again, using the Aēslift™ at Aēstec. We spoke to her about her experience.
Who are you and what do you do?
“My name is Marika, 48 years old, married and mother of two children aged 17 and 24. I work as a senior consultant in the healthcare sector.”
Did you have specific insecurities about your appearance that you were eager to address?
“I had a lot of loss of volume in my face because I lost more than 50 kilos. As a result, I no longer had a nice jawline and what you might call hanging hamster cheeks. I wanted that to be a little tighter — to be a little more myself again. Losing weight is nice, but not so nice in places where you don't want it.”
What treatment did you do and why did you choose it?
“I had the Aēslift™, fillers containing hyaluronic acid and botox in my forehead. I chose the Aēslift at Aēstec because I didn't want unnatural results. It also made me feel safe that it's being done with ultrasound.”
How did you experience the treatment?
“The treatment was doable. I was well helped and everything was well explained, which gave me confidence.”
What was your first reaction when you saw the result?
“I immediately saw that it gave a good result. I was immediately happy with it.”
And how did your environment react?
“People thought I looked fresh, less tired! The best part is that no one sees that you have had such a treatment. I really had to say it! That's great, because it means it's natural.”
Did the treatment strengthen your self-confidence or did it affect your daily life?
“Yes, I'm more satisfied with myself. I recognize myself in the mirror again and that gives me confidence. Do you know that, that your makeup just doesn't want to look good? I've had that more and more recently. That is now over and is easy again. That makes a difference in the morning!”
What does “graceful aging” mean to you personally?
“A few lines here and there are part of it... but I want to keep looking fresh and well-groomed. In balance, say: look how you feel. That's what the Aēslift™ has done for me now. For now, I don't have to go back because of the shelf life of the treatment. Should I ever find it necessary again in a few years, I would definitely choose Aēstec again.”
More than just a treatment
Marika's story shows how the Aēslift™ is more than just a treatment: it's a way to see yourself in the mirror, fresh, natural and balanced. The result remains visible for years and not only strengthens your appearance, but also your self-confidence.
