Interview What is the best business advice that helped you become who you are today and why? Well, on one occasion, someone told me that no one could ever convince me that I was not capable of achieving my dreams, that I really was and am capable of achieving anything, I just had to believe in myself. I was told that with hard work on a daily basis and persistence I could get myself to the place I wanted to be. What's your next milestone? I would like to become a benchmark in aesthetic medicine, not only nationally in Spain but globally. I would love to open a clinic in Mexico and also in London. How has aesthetic medicine changed in recent years? For me, aesthetic medicine has changed a lot for the good. Unfortunately, a few years ago there were no products that we have now, which are re-absorbable and not only improve your aesthetic image, but treat your skin in depth. In the past, we did not have hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite or polytactic acid, and we had to manage with only silicones and biopolymers which caused many problems. In addition, people are fortunately now increasingly open-minded and many realise that these changes are extremely positive and aesthetic medicine makes your life easier. Do you think there is still a lot of misinformation about aesthetic medicine? I realised that I was born for this 10 Yes, I believe there has been and am pleased that there is more and more awareness of its benefits. In actual fact, this was one of my main purposes when I began to show my work on social media: to inform everyone and eliminate the prejudices that people have about aesthetic medicine. In my clinic, we have a high percentage of patients of 33 years and older who now understand that aesthetic medicine helps them prevent aging and that's just awesome! You were voted Miss Spain in 2015 and went to the TV show Survivors, tell us about these experiences. I'm a very restless person and I've never liked doing the same thing over and over, I just get bored when my life becomes monotonous and applying for Miss Spain felt like a personal challenge for me. It allowed me to live not only an experience as Miss Spain but to enjoy an international contest and meet fascinating people from countries and cultures all over the world. It was something which enriched me a lot. In addition, the contest taught me a lot about the world of beauty. As for the TV show Survivors, it was one of the best experiences of my life because I got to know myself very well. I learned that my limits can go as far as my mind goes, and that I myself am the one marking the limits in my own life. The experience also helps to highlight the things you value most, what you want in life and brings order to your life, your dreams and your ideas. I think the experience in Survivors is something that everyone should do once in a lifetime. How do you see aesthetic medicine in the future? I think aesthetic medicine is the future. I think that in less than 10 years, more than 80% of the population will have their own aesthetic doctor and I think it is something very positive and will continue to grow. I believe the more patients want to enjoy aesthetic medicine, the more advances will continue to come out, more research will be carried out and ultimately there will be better treatments and products in the world of beauty. I think aesthetic medicine is the future 11
