## My method — Initially, I am a doctor specializing in dermatology and venereology, but it so happened that my main specialization became aesthetic medicine. Almost all dermatologists try this, but not everyone stays there; not everyone succeeds for various reasons. I succeeded. Dr. Zaikovska's clinic has become a place where the health and beauty of women, especially those over 40, are cared for. Olga asserts that health always comes first, and beauty follows as a consequence: "You are beautiful when you feel good. It is important not only to focus on aesthetics but also on physical condition," she believes. — It’s not that I chose the topic of preventive medicine; rather, it chose me: the fact is that alongside the birth of my twin children, some health difficulties arose. I received additional education, and finally, the puzzle of my method came together. It is simple: treat the cause, not the symptom. Let me explain with an example. Suppose a patient comes for laser resurfacing. And to ensure the result is certain — I need to make sure that this woman has the resources to produce collagen, that everything will heal well. Therefore, first — a consultation and detailed analyses. If we find, for example, iron deficiency, we will replenish it first and then perform the procedure. I want to help people, sleep peacefully at night, and live with a clear conscience — that’s such a simple approach to work (smiles). I can calmly dissuade a patient from an expensive procedure if I don’t see any sense in it. Later, by the way, people come back and say thank you. And a year later, they send ten of their friends because "this is a doctor who tells it like it is." In her arsenal are not only procedures but also advice on nutrition and lifestyle. — Every woman should understand that caring for herself is not indulgence but a necessity. I want every patient to know how important it is to maintain health and take care of themselves. This is not just cosmetics; it is a conscious choice and love for oneself. ## On the same wavelength with patients Olga pays a lot of attention to the topic of menopause, which is still considered taboo. In her clinic, they openly discuss the problems women face at this age. — We must discuss this, work on raising awareness. My favorite audience is adequate middle-aged women. Working, busy, thoughtful, modern. Teachers, doctors, managers, businesswomen, specialists in various fields. Patients who do not have significant financial means but want to see a specialist who will not impose anything unnecessary and help them look well-groomed — what is called "natural beauty." I cannot work superficially, "Doctor, inject this medication here, and this one here — it’s more fashionable." I cannot do 10 minutes — and next. I must talk long and thoroughly with the patient, uncovering dreams, wishes, and possibilities (theirs and ours); especially if this is the first consultation. Yes, it cannot cost little, but the person receives a comprehensive and prospective solution. ## Not just to treat, but to teach Dr. Zaikovska is not just a doctor; she is also a true mentor and inspirer for many women. With each passing year, her desire to share knowledge and experience grows stronger: — I have always felt the need to share my knowledge. Over the past five years, I have had several doctors, one could say, "under my care," whom I taught and guided to courses. She proudly speaks of the young specialists working under her guidance and how they are already seeing patients. This is not just work but a true mission — to prepare new doctors and help women look and feel better. Thus, her story is not only a path to success as a doctor but also an inspiring example for women who want to be beautiful and healthy at any age. ## Tips from a professional The formula for beautiful and conscious aging from Dr. Zaikovska: "Women’s beauty is not a struggle against time, but a union with it," Olga Zaikovska formulates her life philosophy and offers her own system that helps maintain energy, clarity of mind, and inner balance. **1. Positivity as a basic mental setting** Belief in the best in people and the ability to look at life with optimism is a conscious choice. This approach preserves mental health, reduces stress levels, and helps prevent burnout. **2. Discipline without compromise** Getting up at 5:30 and a mandatory 30-minute walk — daily in any weather, without exceptions. Such a clear morning routine supports a sense of stability, structures the day, and provides a powerful energy boost. **3. Regular check-ups — this is self-love** Tests at least twice a year and timely correction of deficiencies allow the body to stay balanced and prevent problems before they arise. **4. Not to "not age," but to beautifully correct changes** Physical activity, working on posture, back massage, weight control, and comprehensive skin care — all these are parts of one process: harmonious aging. Modern cosmetic methods act here not as a radical measure but as a tool to support natural beauty. **5. Find your "place of power"** In the broadest sense — an activity that helps you completely disconnect from the outside world, from external noise. For me, it’s water and long swims, for example, a kilometer... Such rest deeply resets the nervous system. **6. Fill life with aesthetics** Operas, exhibitions, walks in nature — everything that gives a sense of beauty and inspiration directly affects the inner state, and thus, the external appearance. **7. Conscious eating without fanaticism** I am not an advocate of strict diets; I believe that a woman can eat everything while adhering to some principles: daily fiber, adequate water intake, avoiding white bread, minimizing dairy products and added sugar. **8. Cosmetology as an ally, not a cult** In my "women's arsenal" — biorevitalization, polynucleotides, peels, mesoradiess, botulinotherapy, sometimes — RF and Ultherapy. All strictly according to indications, with the aim of preserving skin quality, not changing my facial features. **Riga Dermatology Group by Dr. Zaikovska** — is primarily a medical institution, not a salon. But also not a hospital where one feels scared. It is a place that is pleasant to visit, where everything is explained to you in the waiting room, and tea and coffee are offered. In our offices, there are not only equipment-tools-medications, and everything is sterile, but also beautiful paintings, the author of which, by the way, is one of my patients. **Our main areas of work:** - development of anti-age plans for women over 40 after thorough examination and analysis, working with causes, not just symptoms; - injection techniques: the entire spectrum — from mesotherapy and biorevitalization to Botox, fillers, and collagen stimulators; - hardware anti-age procedures: non-surgical SMAS lifting Ulthera, CO2 laser resurfacing for rejuvenation and scar treatment, fractional rejuvenation with a neodymium laser; - treatment of dermatological problems with a preventive approach: checking and removing neoplasms — an important component, especially with age; plus treatment of psoriasis, fungi, various dermatitis; - vascular direction: IPL system for photo-rejuvenation and neodymium laser for deeper vessels; lasers for treating rosacea and capillary networks; **Comprehensive care:** all types of cosmetic "routines" and massages; as well as intravenous injections, but only after a doctor's consultation, no "self-prescribing"; - women's health during menopause: "I specifically buy a couch for 10,000 euros from France with the possibility of gynecological examination. I will study and practice gynecological rejuvenation, treatment of age-related changes. This is an area of my interest based on personal experience." **Our address: Valdemara Street 33A-3a** **[rigadermatology.group](http://rigadermatology.group/)** **[Instagram @dr_zaikovska](http://www.instagram.com/dr_zaikovska/)** **Appointment by phone +371 25145409**
