‘We Sell Quality of Life’

Ajeless celebrates five-year anniversary on the upswing

When Dr. Aylmer Evangelista decided to open Ajeless Health and Medical Spa five years ago this month, he was a working physician at several local hospitals, where he often treated people on the wrong side of many bad health decisions over the course of a lifetime.

He wanted to do something that could help people improve their health before they got to that point, and he had faith he was going to be able to make people feel and look better. The practice has grown significantly since then, according to Evangelista, and that’s because of one reason: “results.”

It’s been so successful he’s stepped away from the hospital gigs to devote his full time to Ajeless, had to hire more employees (there are seven now) and has pretty much outgrown his space at 118 MainCentre in the heart of downtown Northville. So the model developed by Evangelista Dr. Aylmer Evangelista and his wife, Dr. Jennifer Evangelista, who also treats patients at Ajeless, has worked on a professional level beyond his expectations. Looking back, however, what he wasn’t prepared for was the personal connections he’s made as he has helped his patients transform themselves, both on the outside and the inside.

Evangelista’s bread and butter is regenerative medicine and hormone optimization. Through a variety of noninvasive, regenerative treatments, he is able to relieve pain and restore function lost due to age, injury, disease, or damage. Basically turning back the hands of time.

“We sell quality of life. We can make you look younger and feel younger,” said Evangelista.

Some of the services Ajeless offers include facial rejuvenation, which reduces signs of aging like wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, body sculpting using the newest, non-surgical body contouring treatment on the market, and a medically supervised weight loss program that gets results. Evangelista also provides sexual disfunction and enhancement therapies, which he said can be life-altering, especially for aging clients who have lost the desire due to changes like menopause.

When people look, feel and perform better, it changes their entire outlook on life. It just makes them happier, Evangelista said.

“It’s not only great for them, but it’s also great for everyone around them,” he said.

And that includes Evangelista.

“Most of my patients have become patients for life. And

not just patients, but friends. It’s just so great seeing them transform and become happier people,” he said. Like most people, one thing Evangelista wasn’t counting on was a pandemic that has threatened the existence of so many businesses. But, as it turns out, in a way the COVID pandemic has helped Ajeless, as people have begun focusing on themselves more than in the past. “COVID made people wake up, and made them aware Dr. Jennifer Evangelista of what’s important,” Evangelista said. “People want to invest in their health. It’s not about material things anymore. It’s about health and wellness. I’m really seeing that, and I’m able to help people with that,” he said. With five years in the rearview mirror, Evangelista couldn’t be AJELESS HEALTH AND happier about MEDICAL SPA where the
