Meet Mettina Jager

Hi Mettina! Would you like to introduce yourself? We are very curious about your story!

Hi! I've been working in the television world for 35 years as a successful makeup artist for many famous faces. At the moment, I work a lot for Miljuschka Witzenhausen, Anita Witzier, Tooske Ragas and have been giving Masterclasses on weekends especially for women over 35 for 3 years, although everyone over 18 is welcome.

How do you look at getting older?

I often hear: “I want to grow old beautifully”, but that's not for everyone, including me! Haha. I am a weak man, not a substitute. Which means my face is sinking down. When I look in the mirror in the morning, I think: Hi dad! Because I look more and more like my father.

In addition, I had chemotherapy last year because of breast cancer. That's also an attack on your face.

My job is to make someone look younger through makeup and see myself in the mirror every day because of my work. That can sometimes make me insecure.

I don't want to look like a 25-year-old at all. I just want to look fresh old.

Are you positive about it?

After my breast surgery and chemo, I know how precious health is. I am grateful for the fact that everything has been removed and that I can be there for a while. I understand that some people think it's vain that I thought about my appearance after my chemo, but I looked so terribly tired. I want to be satisfied with my reflection, appropriate to my age.

How do you look at cosmetic treatments?

Profhilo (hyaluronic acid) is a solution, it stimulates collagen, elastin and stimulates fat production.

It rejuvenates the skin without changing volume. As a result, my skin feels firmer.

Thanks to the somewhat firmer Juvéderm filler, my jawline is a bit tighter again. Juvéderm is one of the safest fillers available and also consists only of hyaluronic acid. With a little bit of Botox, my wrinkles on my forehead and around my eyes were somewhat softened. When you think of Botox, you quickly think of a frozen face, but there has been so much development in recent years. Botox has been used in the medical world for years, for example for spasms and migraines.

I myself am quite impatient so I thought: Hoppakee, do everything at once, but at Aēstec they are very careful. The doctor does everything in small steps so that she can see what its effect is and there is no possibility of an unnatural result.

What was the reason you chose Aēstec?

I trust the doctor's expertise, how they stay up to date and don't just do anything. They take the time to explain everything and even use ultrasound, which really reassures.

How did you experience the treatment?

I've seen a difference since the treatments, but it's a gradual process. It was difficult to keep the follow-up appointments last year due to a lot of work abroad, but I'm going to do another maintenance next week.
