aesthetic biomedicine story dr priscila nepuga

Aesthetic Biomedicine was the turning point in the career of Dr. Priscila Urbinati. Working initially in imaging exams in Curitiba (PR), she built solid technical experience, but felt something was still missing from her professional routine. There was contact with patients, but no emotional connection, nor the feeling of transforming lives directly.

“I realized this field wasn't really what I was looking for. Little by little I fell in love with aesthetics and understood it wasn't something frivolous, but a need tied to health.”

That realization marked the start of a conscious transition: leaving radiology to find, in Aesthetic Biomedicine, a more human, closer field of practice aligned with comprehensive care.

When personal experience strengthens the choice of Aesthetic Biomedicine

During this process of change, Dr. Priscila faced a challenge that deeply affected her life: a case of alopecia areata. Hair loss brought insecurities, reflections, and direct contact with the emotional impact that aesthetic changes can cause.

“I was in a transition phase in several aspects of my life. Facing alopecia, I realized that aesthetics also restores self-esteem and health at the same time.”

That experience was decisive in solidifying her decision. More than learning techniques, she came to understand Aesthetic Biomedicine as a field capable of embracing stories, emotions, and individual journeys — especially those of women going through intense changes in their bodies.

Aesthetics beyond appearance: listening, care, and responsibility

When she began working in Aesthetic Health, Dr. Priscila started to see each procedure from a new perspective. For her, there is no appointment without listening, and no application without understanding each patient's context.

“Today I see that even a woman who comes in for a filler carries something inside that needs care.”

That view strengthened her clinical practice and redefined her professional positioning. Aesthetic Biomedicine stopped being just technique and became an instrument of emotional care, respect for individuality, and promotion of real well-being.

Aesthetic Biomedicine applied to postpartum women's care

With professional maturity, Dr. Priscila found a clear purpose: caring for women who have been through pregnancy and live with body changes that directly affect their self-esteem.

“I usually work with postpartum women. By treating stretched skin, stretch marks, and sagging, we also treat the emotional side.”

In this context, Aesthetic Biomedicine allows the creation of personalized protocols, combining biostimulators, radiofrequency, aesthetic technologies, and injectable procedures with planning and safety. The result goes beyond aesthetic improvement: it restores confidence, belonging, and identity to patients.

Planning, consistency, and vision for the future

Dr. Priscila understands that Aesthetic Biomedicine is a broad, dynamic, and constantly evolving field. For her, professional growth requires continuous study, consistency, and clarity of purpose.

“Only I can do it for myself. Never give up. The road is vast, but when we focus on the essence and make the most of every lesson, everything makes a difference.”

That mindset reinforces the professional leadership that Nepuga encourages in every doctor: acting with responsibility, awareness, and strategic vision, without losing sensitivity in caring for others.

Aesthetic Biomedicine as a tool for real transformation

Dr. Priscila's journey shows that Aesthetic Biomedicine is not just a professional choice, but a reunion with purpose. By combining technical knowledge, personal experience, and clinical sensitivity, she builds a practice that transforms not only the skin, but also the way each patient sees herself.

Because caring for aesthetics is, above all, caring for people — with ethics, preparation, and intention.

Success Is In Your Hands.
