Life is a journey. As our journey starts from one station and ends with another, our life also starts from one hospital and ends with another hospital. The journey is more important than the end because it shapes who we become and how we approach life. It’s a journey that we must learn to savour, cherish and treasure.
Jagriti Gupta is a doctor by profession with a keen interest in academics & working for social causes. My journey to cosmetology practice started when after completing my post-graduation in Maxillofacial Pathology, I started dealing with oral cancer patients. Mostly such patients reached us at a very late stage due to, you can call it ignorance or lack of awareness.
This did not satisfy me, as it was impossible to treat them and make them completely normal, as we all know how deadly cancer is! This motivated me to take up cosmetology as my clinical practice. I have been practising for more than 25 years and built a multi-speciality centre, Gupta Dentofacial Clinic and also Aisthetikos an academy of Facial Aesthetics & Trichology.
I am practising as an Aesthetic Physician and my patients are my motivation, who appreciate my work and get healthy treatment.
Cosmetology practice is not taken very seriously, though it has a great impact on one’s life. I remember once, a young child came to me with his mother and told me that he was reluctant to go to school because of acne and scars. He had lost his confidence and became very introverted. Though it may seem to be very petty, for those who are suffering, it may have a severe impact. So, in such cases, it is essential to understand their emotions. It gives me immense pleasure when I make people confident by restoring or enhancing their looks and health.
I am in the field of cosmetology, actively practising & teaching Doctors, who are enthusiastic about it. It’s a very interesting job since the people treated by us are always happy with the outcome, which is reflected in their healthy appearance and confident smiles. Many people, I come across who are not happy with something or the other in their looks and suffer with lowered self-esteem. There are many stories like this, where people are unhappy with any of their features or marks, which they feel as scars on their lives. When we treat them aesthetically, their confidence boosts up, which makes me extremely contented.
I am always inclined towards learning new things, so after my post-graduation in Maxillofacial Pathology, I opted for training in Cosmetology & Trichology from an International school.
My varied interests rewarded me with knowledge and up-gradation in various fields, like Forensics & Hospital administration. I also give honorary lectures & conduct workshops in various medical and dental colleges.
I have been privileged to be invited as a Guest Speaker at various National & International Conferences. I am also a recipient of the prestigious “Dental Diva Award”
To my credit, I have more than 50 articles published in esteemed journals globally. I have authored 2 books. I am also an Editor & Reviewer of many journals.
I have a passion for teaching. I believe that one should keep upgrading oneself and keep learning new skills. It has no age bar and knowledge never gets wasted.
Owing to my social responsibility, I run a charitable hospital for the needy with the motto –
“We make a living by what we get,
but we make a life by what we give”.
