A nurse from Jundiaí, Dr. Marina Trivelato has a unique path, moving from dance to nursing and, more recently, working as a nurse in aesthetics.
Her passion for dance and her family's influence in healthcare shaped her distinctive view of caring for people. After facing the pandemic as a nurse in 2020, Dr. Marina turned to aesthetics seeking not only a promising career but also an opportunity for personal and financial fulfillment.
Her transition into aesthetics was driven by the ability to see each individual's unique beauty, a quality cultivated during her journey in dance.
Discovering integrative aesthetic health
By combining her nursing experience with the sensitivity she developed in dance, she discovered in aesthetics the ability to touch not only the skin, the external, but also how far aesthetics can reach much deeper changes.
She sees each patient as a whole human being, and her work involves understanding each person's history, potential, and challenges. The nurse's holistic approach thus highlights the intrinsic connection between health and aesthetics.
The influence of her mother, a physiotherapist, also played a significant role in her professional choice. Since childhood, Dr. Marina accompanied her mother on health outreach activities, using art in the form of dance and theater to promote well-being.
This background helped consolidate the idea that health and aesthetics are interconnected, and Dr. Marina saw in this specialty an opportunity to unite her passions.
In this way, thanks to all her sensitivity and experience working with people, Dr. Marina built into her professional outlook an important differentiator in treating her patients, a truly integrative vision capable of inspiring many other professionals working in aesthetics.
Ambitious plans made possible through aesthetics
She highlights flexibility and the potential for financial return as attractive factors in aesthetics, especially compared with her exhausting experience in hospitals. As she says:
On the other hand, she believes that working for herself not only brings financial gains but also enriches her morally, materially, and spiritually. This autonomy is seen as a way of enriching herself while building meaningful exchanges with patients and their stories.
The nurse in aesthetics, who already sees some patients through partnerships and has ambitious plans for the future, aims to have her own practice and turn it into a franchise. Her comprehensive approach includes facial and body procedures, but always keeps the focus on treating the patient as a whole.
The first steps of a nurse in aesthetics
Speaking about her experience so far performing aesthetic procedures, she again stresses the importance of understanding the individual as a whole, going beyond specific aesthetic concerns and trying to understand as much as possible about the patient's health, in order to find the best solutions for the issues that also affect the aesthetic complaint brought to the office.
Dr. Marina's experience treating patients, even in a challenging beginning, underscores the importance of taking the first step. She encourages healthcare professionals, especially those just starting out in aesthetics, to pursue their goals without waiting for ideal conditions. For Dr. Marina, any step, however small, is progress toward success.
In her inspiring message for those entering the field of aesthetics, Marina emphasizes the importance of starting now, even if the steps seem small. Perseverance in the face of challenges is crucial, because a “no” makes you stronger and eventually a “yes” will come. Her experience highlights the need for initiative, persistence, and the belief that everyone is capable of reaching their goals in aesthetics and health.
