By: Alva Ree
Elena Agapova is a renowned dermatologist-venereologist and cosmetologist with a passion for combining scientific expertise with a deep understanding of human nature. Her approach emphasizes femininity, self-expression, and holistic well-being.
Interviewer: Elena, you grew up in a family of doctors and continued the family tradition. How did this influence your career choice? Were you always drawn to cosmetology, or did you consider other areas of medicine?
Elena Agapova: Since childhood, I was drawn to helping others, often treating my dolls as patients. My mother was a significant influence, teaching me to love people and our profession. My grandparents were also doctors, so medicine felt like a natural path for me.
During my second year of medical school, I experienced an accident that left me with a scar on my chin. This personal challenge ignited my interest in dermatology and cosmetology. It became important for me to find solutions to aesthetic concerns, as I understood the impact of appearance on self-confidence. My goal became to help others feel beautiful and confident in their own skin.
Interviewer: You are not only a successful cosmetologist but also have a background in psychology. What led you to study such an intricate field?
Elena Agapova: After a personal turning point in my life, I began searching for deeper understanding and fulfillment. I pursued studies in psychology, attending various training and professional development courses. This education provided me with tools to help individuals understand their true nature and improve their well-being.
Psychology allows me to understand the connections between intellect, instincts, and intuition. By integrating this knowledge with my medical practice, I can offer a holistic approach to self-care.
Interviewer: In your practice, you combine knowledge of medicine, cosmetology, and psychology. How are these areas interconnected? How does understanding psychology help you in your work?
Elena Agapova: When I opened my clinic, I envisioned a place where individuals could care for themselves holistically. My family background in medicine and psychology inspired me to create a comprehensive approach to beauty and well-being.
In my practice, I aim to empower individuals to embrace their inner strength and beauty. A holistic approach is essential because true beauty encompasses both physical appearance and mental well-being. My role is to guide individuals in self-care, using modern technologies to enhance their natural beauty and confidence.
Interviewer: Have you had cases where you helped patients solve not only aesthetic but also psychological issues related to self-acceptance?
Elena Agapova: Absolutely. Many patients seek aesthetic improvements but also face deeper challenges related to self-acceptance. My approach is to teach individuals how to care for themselves, both inside and out, using modern methods that address age-related changes, stress, and environmental factors. This comprehensive care enables individuals to feel beautiful, desired, and confident.
Interviewer: Your family has traditional views. How did they react to your career choices, and do they support your aspirations?
Elena Agapova: My father passed away before I began my work in psychology, but I believe he would have supported me. Initially, my mother, who holds traditional views, was unsure of my career choices. However, after understanding the importance of my work, she became one of my biggest supporters.
Interviewer: What inspires you in life, and what are your professional and personal goals?
Elena Agapova: My children are my greatest inspiration. I strive to be an example of someone who lives a happy and fulfilling life. I am motivated by the positive feedback from my patients, the growth of my projects, and the realization of new ideas.
Professionally, I aim to develop an online platform to share my knowledge and experiences with a broader audience, helping others achieve happiness and confidence. I envision a world where individuals love themselves, foster harmonious relationships, and build fulfilling lives.
Interviewer: Finally, what advice would you give to individuals who want to live a brighter, more fulfilling life but are afraid to change?
Elena Agapova: Embrace your fears and take risks! Life is too short to let fear hold you back. Allow yourself to make mistakes, learn new things, and be imperfect. Embrace your true self, and you will find the path to a fulfilling life.
