Meet Stella Bergsma

My name is Stella Bergsma. I am a writer, columnist and opinion maker. I've been in the public eye with my work for years and that's why I think my appearance is quite important.

Even though I'm a feminist, I like to look good! This is a joke. Feminists are like people and I'm pretty vain.

I like getting older, but the changes in my appearance are not always easy. My neck especially scares me! I'm developing a type of turkey look that I like only moderately. A small lobe that is only visible to the neurotic eye. Those circles also give me, you know, those annual rings that women get on their necks. Nice with trees, so you can count how old they are, but I find it less charming when it comes to me.

In any case, it is remarkable that what I don't like about myself is often not so annoying about someone else. So that neck annoyed me.

I do a lot of photo shoots and I am regularly on television. Then when I saw myself again and even when I just looked in the mirror, I found it very distracting. It drew attention, while I would prefer my pretty mouth and expressive eyes to do that.

I wanted to do something about it, but something that wasn't too intensive. No cutting shop for me yet. So that's how I came to Aestec for a Profhilo treatment. I had read about that that it was a very natural, not too drastic treatment and that appealed to me.

Prophilo is a hyaluronic acid that is injected into your neck (or other area) with the aim of your skin producing new collagen, which makes you tighter again. You get great treatment at Aestec, there are very nice ladies working there and they have delicious cappuccino!

I already didn't dread the shots because I've done things like botox and fillers before and I want to be pretty enough to suffer from pain. But I found the treatment even more convenient than I expected. It was a chip off the cake, a piece of cake, a piece of cake, you name it. You will also receive an anesthetic cream, which will make you feel even less. It was over in no time because I was distracted by a chat with the doctor and the lovely assistant who filmed me.

After a month, results should be visible, and that is true. I am now two months later and the image of my neck is much calmer and softer. The annual rings are less present. You still see them, but just not as pronounced. I like that too.

I am pro age. I like to look my best, but just my age. I am very satisfied. I was going to go for a second treatment, but because the result of my neck was already so beautiful, we decided to tackle my face.

I had just done a theater tour around the country and my skin looked very tired and dull. So about three weeks ago, I got pricks in the face. This time without an anesthetic cream, but that was also really doable. A bit sharp, but over in a moment. And I'm already starting to see the results. I get a lot of reactions in my environment and also on the internet about how fresh and radiant I look and that's exactly how I feel.

I think Profhilo is a great product. It is the body's own substance, which is why it supports rather than changes you. Many people are misinformed and think that everything you inject gives a fake and plastic result. On the contrary, Profhilo helps to highlight women's natural beauty so that they can shine at any age. Beauty isn't necessarily just youth. It's a look, a shine, a crown on your confidence. And Profhilo and Aestec can help with that. I'm really excited and I'll definitely go back. Even if it was just for the delicious cappuccino!
