The recession of 2008 forced millions of Americans who once thought their working days were over to face the grim reality that they may need a new source of income.
Maria Rios, a registered nurse with more than 22 years of experience, found herself in this situation. Rios’ calm and peaceful spirit is immediately striking to those who meet her. She is an attractive 71-year-old whose outward appearance did not reflect her inner vitality. Her exterior belied the fact that she has the energy levels of someone much younger.
Rios faced a job market that stresses youth over experience, as well as a bias to those most attractive. She felt great and was ready to work again, but realized she needed assistance to match her appearance to her spirit. At 71, she had more than enough experience, wisdom and knowledge. What seemed to be holding her back was her age.
“Age doesn’t really matter to me, but sometimes in the workplace, it seems to be an issue,” Rios says. “My age is just a number, but I need to look as young as possible to be able to advance.”
That’s when she came to Beleza MedSpa in June and inquired about procedures that could make her look younger. With the help of Dr. Broder, she received Dot therapy, which involves laser skin resurfacing and tightening. It can take more than 10 years off of your appearance in one treatment.
Now Rios’ face, neck and chest appear years younger. The procedure also continues to work by stimulating her natural collagen production, resulting in smoother and tighter skin. It is truly an anti-aging treatment, as it actually turns back the clock on the aging process of the skin.
Dot therapy is the latest of a new generation of minimally invasive treatments that couple technology with aesthetics administered in a medical setting.
The next step in Rios’ journey to be competitive in the workforce was to deal with her weight. Rios was a size 14, but in 40 days under the physician-supervised diet she received at Beleza MedSpa, she lost 18 pounds. She is now a healthy size eight. With this diet, Rios expected to lose a few pounds and gain them right back, having tried other types of diets. But she has successfully kept the weight off for more than six months now.
It is true that aging involves physical changes. However, many women and men today are peering in the mirror and seeing a reflection that doesn’t reflect their true value. The job market is now as competitive as ever. With the added societal pressures placed on all of us, many find it very difficult to obtain or even maintain employment. Certain anti-aging treatments may be the extra boost you need to get that promotion or start a new career.
Rios has found that her new look and improved self-confidence have opened many new doors for her. Medical spas like Beleza offer the expertise and treatments that can give you that competitive advantage.
