From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leadership
Dr. Ayu Widianingrum’s journey began in Kotabaru, South Kalimantan, where her passion for dermatology blossomed into a vision of redefining beauty as both wellness and empowerment. In 2016, she founded Widya Esthetic Clinic in Martapura, Banjar Regency, a bold move that would change the local beauty landscape. What started as a small clinic soon became a thriving medical and aesthetic center that integrates health science with artistry. Her mission has always been clear: to make advanced, safe, and ethical aesthetic care accessible to everyone, while educating patients about the importance of healthy and sustainable beauty practices.
Her background as a medical professional with international accreditation gave her the confidence to introduce state-of-the-art treatments to the Indonesian market. Under her direction, the clinic offers innovative therapies such as the Luxury Booster, a brightening and rejuvenation treatment infused with glutathione and vitamin C and TRX Injection, which targets dark spots with precision and safety. She also pioneered the use of Steamcell and Biofiller treatments, integrating regenerative medicine with aesthetic care. Beyond skin deep, these innovations are designed to restore not only appearance but also confidence, health, and self-worth.
Innovation that Empowers and Heals
Dr. Ayu’s leadership philosophy centers on compassion and education. She believes that beauty is not vanity but a form of self-care that improves mental and emotional well-being. Through continuous research and training, she has expanded Widya Esthetic’s services to include therapies for patients with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and cancer ensuring that even those undergoing chemotherapy can safely benefit from aesthetic care.
Her dedication to developing blood stem cell therapy using Korean technology underscores her commitment to merging aesthetics with medical science. This advanced therapy aims not only to slow aging but also to strengthen immunity and reduce the progression of metabolic diseases. In doing so, she positions Widya Esthetic as a pioneer in health-based beauty innovation, bridging the gap between clinical treatment and holistic wellness.
Within her team, Dr. Ayu fosters a culture of growth and collaboration. She mentors young medical professionals, encouraging them to uphold ethical standards and compassionate service. Her entrepreneurial resilience and people-first leadership have inspired many women in Indonesia to pursue careers in science and business. Through her appearances on national television and in magazines, she uses her platform to promote confidence, education, and safe skincare practices for the modern generation.

For Dr. Ayu, leadership is not just about building a business it is about uplifting others. Widya Esthetic Clinic continues to expand its footprint, with future plans to develop training centers and skincare academies for aspiring practitioners.
